The wiki references are a way that provided information is equipped with endnote references and citations. The mechanism of referencing works in the following way:
Source code in edit mode:
According to scientists, the Sun is pretty big.<ref>E. Miller, The Sun, (New York: Academic Press, 2005), 23-5.</ref> The Moon, however, is not so big.<ref>R. Smith, "Size of the Moon", Scientific American, 46 (April 1978): 44-6.</ref>
== Notes ==
<references/>
is rendered in read mode in this way:
According to scientists, the Sun is pretty big.[1] The Moon, however, is not so big.[2]
Notes
So, the texts of the citations or endnotes go between the pairs of tags <ref> and </ref> along with the rest of the text in the article. But they appear gathered in the same place on the page by using the tag <references/>
- Using the tags <ref name=""> and <ref name=""/> you can apply one and the same endnote to multiple places in the text=
- Using the tags <ref group=""> and <ref group=""/> you can group certain references in order to render them in two or more sections after the text.
