The LiteCite plugin offers a lightweight way to generate citation notes directly from a BibTeX or BibLaTeX file. Built as a simpler and faster alternative to the older Citations plugin, it focuses on minimal overhead while retaining essential functionality. It uses a custom BibTeX parser and the Eta templating engine, allowing notes to be created quickly with consistent formatting. Once configured with a BibTeX file path, you can invoke a command to produce a new note tied to a selected reference, making it handy for researchers and writers who prefer streamlined workflows.
