Implementation
To implement citations we use the wiki-extension Cite that enshures a clean and organised style of references.
References are placed inbetween a <ref> </ref> - tag in the text (right at the position of the citation). This sentence is an example for a citation (Author1 et al. 2008 [1]), you can see the small indicator linking to the footnote at the end of this section. The basic concept of the <ref> tag is that it inserts the text enclosed by the ref tags as a footnote in a designated section, which you indicate with the placeholder tag <references /> like this:
==References==
<references/>
If you forget to include <references /> at the end of the article, none of the footnotes will appear.
Info
- The wiki-syntax for the above citation is: (Author1 et al. 2008 <ref> Author1, L., Author2, B.H., Author3, J. 2008. personal communications.</ref>). You put the <nowiki><ref><nowiki>-tag in the brackets.
If you like to cite one source multiple times in your article, you have to name the <ref> </ref> - tags. All tags with the same name will refer to the same footnote. A named <ref></ref>-tag looks like this:
<ref name=your name>Your reference here</ref>.
