Introduction

The purpose of this page is to give you a brief idea of how to use the Cite module, to ,er, cite external sources of information.

Examples

1. Here is an example^[1].
2. and another example^[2].
3. and one more example^[3].
   1. Some more text can appear here^[4] and more text, or references^[4] can follow on.
4. last entry^[5] before we move on to showing you the detail.

Explanation of Examples

Here is the actual wiki markup used to create the above block of text

#Here is an example<ref>example 1, intended to show the movement of text from the body of the page to the footer</ref>.
#and another example<ref>example 2, also intended to show the movement of text from the body of the page to the footer</ref>.
#and one more example<ref>example 3, BORIN' I'd rather be looking at [http://www.bbc.co.uk the beeb]</ref>.
##Some more text can appear here<ref name="ref01">and this is a repeatable reference</ref> and more text, or references<ref name="ref01"/> can follow on.
#last entry<ref name="ref02">this reference is the second repeatable reference</ref> before we move on to showing you the detail.

Some explanatory notes:

1. #Here is an example<ref>example 1, intended to show the movement of text from the body of the page to the footer</ref>.

   to create this citation, use the <ref> and </ref> tags. The free form text that is included between the tags will appear at the foot of the page in the reference section.

2. nd another example<ref>example 2, also intended to show the movement of text from the body of the page to the footer</ref>.

   ditto

3. and one more example<ref>example 3, BORIN'</ref>.

   ditto

   1. Some more text can appear here<ref name="ref01">and this is a repeatable reference</ref> and more text, or references<ref name="ref01"/> can follow on.

      This time we have added a name="ref01" attribute to the ref tag. This will allow us to re-use the reference later using a modified ref tag <ref name="ref01"/> with no free form text and no closing ref tag, just a / inserted at the end of the tag

4. last entry<ref name="ref02">this reference is the second repeatable reference</ref> before we move on to showing you the detail.

   This is also a repeatable reference, though we will only use this one once here.

For more help see the mediawiki cite extension manual page.

Conclusion

The final section should contain a <references/> tag in order that the references actually be placed somewhere in the page.

The citation section should follow this.
