xbRefs Plugins Package contains two plugins - xbRefs - Content and xbRefs - Button - which form a replacement (with many improvements) for the previous xbFootnoteTag package. 
 
xbRefs - Button is and editors-xtd plugin which adds a button (on the admin site only) to TinyMCE or JCE editors to insert a shortcode {​xbref...}  for a reference footnote or popover.
Of course you can also insert the shortcode manually, but the button enables you to easily select a tag to use for the citation, enter text, choose whether to generate a popover or footnote, whether to trigger the popover on hover or focus, set the footnote number, and also will highlight the shortcode in the editor to make it clearly visible.
 
xbRefs - Content is a plugin that processes article text before display and replaces any  {​xbref...}  shortcodes with the appropriate content - inserting popovers and footnotes as required.
 
 
xbRefs Pulgins Package v2.1.1
24th April 2022  J3

plg_content_xbautosave v3.0.0 
14th September 2021 J3  

The Joomla content plugin xbAutosave allows for timed automatic saving of work whilst editing an article or triggering a save with Ctrl+s or Cmd+s keystroke. 

The autosave interval can be set in seconds (minimum 30sec) and timed save and keystroke save can be enabled separately. 

Autosave only works on the backend (admin) site and only when editing an article (com_content). It is disabled on a new article until you have saved manually to give you a chance to set category, status, access etc before your work-in-progress gets automatically revealed to the world!

Function declaration:

public static function truncate($text, $length = 0, $noSplit = true, $allowHtml = true)
