Footnotes
Footnotes are placed in the body of the letter where the marker is to appear with a <ref> tag before them and a </ref> tag after the text of the footnote. At the bottom of the letter put <references /> and when viewed the footnotes will appear there.
If you forget to include <references/> at the end of the article, none of the footnotes will appear.
This page itself uses footnotes, such as the one at the end of this sentence.[1] If you view the source of this page by clicking "Edit this page", you can see a working example of footnotes.
