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

<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" />
