Cite?[edit | edit source]Cite is an extension which allows a user to create footnotes. This is very useful to place comments or citation at the bottom of the page.
Where do I find this function?[edit | edit source]If the Reference-Tag <ref>was used, you can see a superscripted number (as a link) immediately following that portion of the text the note is in reference to. If you click on the number (link) you will be forwarded to the references at the bottom of the page.
Functionality of Cite[edit | edit source]
Create footnotes[edit | edit source]
To create footnotes you have to use the <ref>-Tag in the wiki code. Insert the ref-tag right after the text section it belongs to. Then insert the comment and close the reference with </ref>. Instead of a comment you will see a the text flagged with a a superscripted number.
At the end of an article you have to insert the tag <references/>. Here all the comments you made will be shown.
