Help:Cite/pl

Cite makes it possible to add footnotes to a page. See for detailed description.

Use
Two HTML-style tags are used to define and show footnotes: ,

Single use footnotes are defined by enclosing content within , e.g.:
 * content

A footnote used multiple times may be defined with a name:
 * content

To invoke a named footnote:
 * 

Footnotes may be defined in groups:
 * content

Names and groups may not be a numeric integer. The quotes are optional unless the name includes a space, punctuation or other mark. It is recommended that names be kept simple and restricted to the ASCII character set.

To display the reference list, after some or all of the  tags, include:

You can use multiple times on a page, e.g. to generate a reference list beneath a table.

The reference list can display automatically split over multiple columns, if there's enough width and there are enough references. On narrow screens, readers will see one or maybe two columns, whereas on wider screens they will get two or more. On wikis with the default configuration, this will happen on every page; on others, you need to activate it. To force it off for a particular use, include:


 * 

To force it on, instead include:



To display footnotes defined in a group. include:
 *
