Example

The following snippet illustrates how the <ref> tag is used to define footnotes, and how the <references> tag produces the footnotes.

 According to scientists, the Sun is pretty big.<ref>Miller, E: "The Sun.", page 23. Academic Press, 2005</ref>
 The Moon, however, is not so big.<ref>Smith, R: "Size of the Moon", Scientific American, 46(78):46</ref>

 ==Notes==
 <references/>

The above snippet produces:

Reusing the same footnote

To reuse a footnote, simply give it a unique name, e.g. <ref name="uniqueIdentifier">. You can then refer to this footnote subsequently by writing <ref name="uniqueIdentifier" />.

Note

The <references/> tag can be placed anywhere on a page. More than one such tag may be used. The effect is to cause all pending footnotes defined by previous <ref> tags to be generated at that location.
