Hi,

I’m building an app where scientific citations are important.

So basically a small number² that references a scientific source at the end of the page, like so:

Currently I have a dynamic page with 5 text-database fields like Title, Description etc. and one for Sources.
My problem:

  1. I need to manually change all the numbers in case I need to add one and the sequence changes.
  2. Finding and editing a lot of text in the App data tap is cumbersome. I already split it into multiple fields because of that and built an admin interface with rich text editor but it doesn’t support citations.

Basically what I would like to have is a Google Docs or Word-like citation feature for creation and display.

How would you approach this problem?
