<p><a href="http://links2tabs.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Links2Tabs</a> plugin automatically generates the list of references at the bottom of each post and/or page and bundles them into handy links by Links2Tabs services that open all references with one click.</p>
<p>For installation please see the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/links2tabs/installation/" rel="ugc">corresponding section</a>. It is as trivial as copying the plugin folder in your WordPress.</p>
<p>To get the flavour of what the plugin actually does, see the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/links2tabs/screenshots/" rel="ugc">screenshots</a> and/or a <a href="http://links2.me/links2tabs/?toc=ToC&title=Links2Tabs+-+What+a+great+tabbing+service!&description=References+1+-+5+for+Info&url1=http%3A%2F%2Fmany.at%2F&caption1=[1]+Many.at&url2=http%3A%2F%2Fbrief.ly%2F&caption2=[2]+Brief.ly&url3=http%3A%2F%2Flinks2.me%2F&caption3=[3]+Links2.Me&url4=http%3A%2F%2Flinks2tabs.com%2Fplugins%2Fwordpress%2F&caption4=[4]+Wordpress&url5=http%3A%2F%2Ffeed2tabs.com%2F&caption5=[5]+Feed2Tabs" rel="nofollow ugc">demo page</a>.</p>
<p>Once installed and activated, the plugin will work automatically. If you would like to fine-tune some bits, just go to the plugin’s settings page (WP Admin -> Settings -> Links2Tabs).</p>
<p>The plugin offers the following options.</p>
<h4>Parsing & Final Finish</h4>
<ul>
<li>Show on posts</li>
<li>Show on pages</li>

<li>Include internal links (Choose whether or not to bundle internal links, i.e., those referring to this site’s domain).     </li>
<li>Add reference tags (the plugin can tag each recognised reference with its number.)</li>
<li>Link reference tags to the bundle (if “Add reference tags” above is <code>yes</code>, the plugin can link each added tag to the result in the page/post bottom.)</li>
<li>Links per bundle (Select how many references to bundle in one link.)</li>
<li>Minimum number of links (Set a threshold, so that if the number of references is less than specified, bundled links will not be shown.)</li>
<li>Text before one bundle (Text to appear before the link in case there is only one reference bundle.)</li>
<li>Text before many bundles (Text to appear before the links in case there are several bundles.)</li>
<li>Link target (Where to open the bundled references: new window will set it to <code>_blank</code>.)</li>
<li>Visibility (Who should be able to see the bundles? When set to Public – it will be visible to all visitors. When set to Private – to this site’s admins only When set to Hidden – this will disable the reference bundling completely.)</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Open references in tabs (Enables or disables automatic link opening in separate tabs. Please mind, that if ToC is set to off below, tabs will be enabled anyway.)</li>
