Preliminaries
An example with transcluded reference content,

property rather than copying the HTML dom in the  property. But, both formats are considered valid and Parsoid accepts both formats when serializing HTML to wikitext.

If  is specified, it is the client's responsibility to make sure that the element id is present in the DOM. If both  and   are specified, Parsoid uses the html property and ignores the id property.

Auto-generated references blocks
If the source wikitext had &lt;ref> tags but no corresponding &lt;references> tag to generate references, Parsoid auto-generates references blocks for every set of refs that need it. As of HTML version 1.2.1, for all such auto-generated reference block, the data-mw will have the autoGenerated property set to true.

Responsive wrappers
In T159894, support was added for the cite extension's  parameter, which presents the references section as multiple columns based on the browser window size. This is achieved by wrapping the ordered list with a div. Of note, since this is part of the extension content, the transclusion annotations are placed on the wrapper.
