Two HTML-style tags are used to define and show footnotes: <ref> and <reference />

Single use footnotes are defined by enclosing content within <ref>...</ref>
- Example: <ref>Rules of Usage. Strunk, William, Jr. 1918. Elements of Style</ref> equals: ^[1]

To display the reference list, after all of the Template:Tag tags, include:
- <reference />
