About Cut it
Cut it is a free browser extension for cutting debate cards. Highlight a passage on any page and Cut it fills in the author, title, publisher and date from the page’s JSON-LD, meta tags and bylines, then copies the card as rich text and plain text so it pastes cleanly into Google Docs or Word.
Always check the citation before you use a card; automatic citations depend on what each page publishes.
