Help:References

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>
  • A footnote used multiple times may be defined with a name: <ref name="foo">content</ref>

• To invoke a named footnote:
  • <ref name="foo" />

Footnotes may be defined in groups:

Template:TagcontentTemplate:Tag

Names and groups may not be a numeric integer. The quotes are optional unless the name includes a space, punctuation or other mark. It is recommended that names be kept simple and restricted to the ASCII character set.

<reference />

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

• To display footnotes defined in a group. include:
  • <references group="foo" />
