Citations

Citations are identical to footnotes, except that they use alphanumeric names such as [note] or [GVR2001] and are displayed in tabular form in the Library Manager.

Like hyperlinks, citations consist of two parts: citation reference (source) and citation (target).

Quote reference

Description

Each citation reference consists of a citation label in square brackets followed by an underscore.

Citation labels are simple reference names (single words, consisting of alphanumeric characters, no spaces).

Start and end characters

Start character = "[", end character = "]_"

(See also: Inline markup)

Quote (target)

Description

Each citation (citation label) consists of an explicit markup start (".. "), the citation label enclosed by square brackets and a space followed by indented body elements (citation content).

(See also: Explicit markup blocks)

Principle

.. [CIT]

Properties

  • Citations, unlike footnotes, are displayed in a table in the Library Manager.
  • There may or may not be a blank line between the citation label and the citation content.
  • The citation content must be indented (at least one space).
  • Citations can be positioned anywhere in the comment, not just at the end.

Sample

(In sample project: B_DocuElements\Hyperlinks\FB_Libdoc_Citation)

(*
Citation references, like [CIT2002]_. Note that citations may get rearranged, e.g., to the bottom of the "page". 

.. [CIT2002] This is the citation.  It's just like a footnote,
   except the label is textual. 

Given a citation like [this]_, one can also refer to it like this_. 

.. [this] here.
