The reading and citation tools appear as a small button alongside the reading tools on the atlas pages. Their function is practical: to save the page link, copy a citation for it, or download a file that gathers its title, description, and internal links.
What it enables
- Copy the current page link.
- Copy a citation containing the page title, the name of the atlas, the link, and the date of access.
- Download the page data in a single file, containing the title, description, text, and the links found within the page.
When is it useful?
It is useful when tracing a concept across more than one book, or gathering the places where a verse is cited, or comparing a small claim with the atoms and assemblages around it. Instead of losing the link among the pages, the reader keeps what they need for reference and review.
Its limits
The citation does not replace returning to the original book in final scholarly writing. Its function is to preserve the page’s location within the atlas, not to become a substitute source for Shahrur’s books.
