Footnotes and References[edit | edit source]

Wikibooks has a really nice way to do footnotes and references. Much better than HTML, or most word processors! First put in a reference in the form:

"This hedgehog will live with us!"[1]

(Click "edit" to see the code for this.) That makes a superscript number that your readers can click on. Then at the end of your file put in the note:

  1. ^ Chapayev, V.I., "Sesquipedalian Obfuscation in Late Early Middle Wikibooking," Journal of Very Specialized Research, 2005.

Remember the pound sign (#) to make the matching number appear.
