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

<ref>

  • 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]
  • A footnote used multiple times may be defined with a name
    • Example: <ref name="CMOS">Chicago Manual of Style, 16th Edition</ref>
  • The named footnote may be invoked later
    • Exmple: <ref name="CMOS" />


<references />

  • To display the reference list, after all of the <ref>...</ref> tags, use <references />
