When citing a publication in the text of a page, type the citation into the text as you wish it to appear in the reference list below, and then enclose it between <ref> and </ref>. Only a number in brackets will be displayed in the text. Clicking this bracketed number will jump to that reference at the bottom of the page, and block highlight it. Similarly, clicking the small upwards-pointing arrow that displays with the reference at the bottom of the page will jump to the place where it is cited, and block highlight the bracketed number. | When citing a publication in the text of a page, type the citation into the text as you wish it to appear in the reference list below, and then enclose it between <ref> and </ref>.
