Line 24:
* A '''Footnote''' displays the full citation for the source. Together the footnotes are displayed in an ordered list wherever the reference list markup {{tl|reflist}} is placed. Each entry begins with the footnote label in plain text. The entire reference list is formatted in a slightly smaller font.
 
:Each successive footnote label is automatically incremented.
:Each successive footnote label is automatically incremented. Thus the first footnote marker would be <nowiki>{{dummy ref}}</nowiki>, the second would be <nowiki>{{dummy ref|2}}</nowiki> and so on. Custom labels are also incremented: <nowiki>{{dummy ref|a}}{{dummy ref|b}}{{dummy ref|c}}, {{dummy ref|Note 1}} {{dummy ref|Note 2}} {{dummy ref|Note 3}}.</nowiki>
:For a single use footnote, the label is followed by a caret (^) that is a backlink to the matching footnote marker. ForIf example:a named footnote is used in the text multiple times, then the footnote has multiple backlinks shown as letters. Clicking on the backlink or pressing backspace {{key press|←}} returns to the footnote marker.
<nowiki>{{dummy footnote|margin=5em}}</nowiki>
:If a named footnote is used in the text multiple times, then the footnote has multiple backlinks shown as letters:
<nowiki>{{dummy footnote|2|a b c|margin=5em}}</nowiki>
:Clicking on the backlink or pressing backspace {{key press|←}} returns to the footnote marker.
