Description
Use this template to create a reference list in small font for an article. Note that there is no consensus that small font size should always be used for all references; when normal-sized font is more appropriate on an article, use
<references />
instead.[1]
Syntax
Type {{reflist|...}}
where you would normally type <references/>
. If used with no parameters, it will produce a reference list with a single column.
Multiple columns
Using {{reflist|2}}
will create a two-column reference list, and {{reflist|3}}
will create a three-column list. Three-column lists are inaccessible to users with smaller/laptop monitors and should be avoided.
Using {{reflist|colwidth=30em}}
will allow the browser to automatically choose the number of columns based on the width of the web browser. Choose a column width that's appropriate for the average width of the references on the page.
Note: multiple columns currently render properly only in Mozilla Firefox and other Gecko-based browsers and Safari 3, though the feature is included in CSS3 so it should work for a larger number of browsers in the future.
Sample output
{{reflist}} gives:
- ↑ I am a reference
CSS used
.references-small { font-size: 90%; }
