LaTeX Citations Tab

This tool allows you to search for citations in LaTeX files.

In the user interface, a tab was added to the entry editor, the aesthetics have been improved, and the tool was renamed to Search for Citations in LaTeX files.

Key Features

The new tab

• A LaTeX Citations tab has been added to the entry editor.

• This tab can be disabled in the Entry editor preferences.

• A progress indicator appears while parsing.

• Current search is cancelled if another entry is selected.

• Parsed files are stored when the tool is run for the first time (to achieve better performance).

A custom user interface controller for listing citations

• The citations list view is the same for dialog tool and tab.

• The context of citations is shown instead of the whole line of text (which is shown as a tooltip).
