'''How To Cite:''' 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. | '''How To Cite:''' 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>'''.

If you want to cite the '''same publication again later''' in your text, you need to give a name to the first instance, for example <ref name="rasmol">...</ref>. Then, you can re-cite the same reference with this: <ref name="rasmol"/>. (Note the trailing slash.) Here is how this will actually appear: Although Sayle released RasMol in 1993, his publication did not appear until 1995<ref name="rasmol"/>. Although Herráez wrote the cited paper on Jmol<ref name="jmol"/>, he appropriately credits Miguel Howard and Robert Hanson for most of Jmol's development for macromolecular displays. | If you want to cite the '''same publication again later''' in your text, you need to give a name to the first instance, for example <ref name="rasmol">...</ref>.

'''Footnotes:''' Literature references cited with the above method will appear as footnotes. Footnotes are also a good place to put any technical or digressive notes to avoid having them intrude in the main text. You can put any footnote text between <ref> and </ref> tags. | '''Footnotes:''' Literature references cited with the above method will appear as footnotes.
