Capture and automatically quote unprinted sources, incunabula, works of art, or objects; specify foliation, pagination, and other deviating counts; append, mark, transcribe, and annotate PDF-files or digital representations; create image quotes and images; use special characters; capture complex names; create a grouped bibliography; document the state of research on a source or text; capture scientific bits and pieces from social media channels.
