Footnotes
There are many different methods for citing sources and annotating documents. One method that is often apropriate is the use of footnotes. The easiest way to add footnotes is to use the Cite.php syntax which is very simple:
- <ref>text of note</ref> at the in-text place where you would like the footnote link to appear.
- (Only needed once per article) <references/> in the section where the footnotes should appear. If you omit this, the footnotes will not be displayed.
Example
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>
