Generate a citation from content on the site

There isn't a feature that I know of built into bibcite that allows you to auto-fill the information from a page to generate a citation for the current page. While this would seem to be a neat feature, I don't think it's the focus of the Bibliography & Citation (bibcite) module. There was a D6/D7 "Cite" module, but it doesn't look like there's an equivalent of that in D8+. It looks like you would need a custom module to carry out what you're trying to accomplish.

Hi @AndrewGearhart
Module don't have a possibility to render any type of entity in CSL, like node for example. It could not contain all required fields for render.
This way for render in CSL we need to use References.
And your steps of recommended solution is migrate your Nodes to References with "Migrate" core module.
If you need help with migration, you can contact us at hello@adcillc.com.

I am working on a modern Drupal version of Cite that builds on Bibliography & Citation: https://www.drupal.org/project/cite/issues/3464149 🌱 Modern Drupal version based on Bibcite Active

AardWolf, how do you tell a Reference to be viewable as one or several particular CSL styles? I get the option to download various formats (BibTeX, Endnote of several varieties, etc) but not to display the citation in, say, Chicago Manual of Style 16th edition, even though it is one of the installed styles.
