Marspedia:Using Ref tags

Example text

Suppose you want to reference a book in an article, how do you go about doing that?

Well, first you start by entering the text you want, something like this:

This is the type of operation described by Robert Zubrin, in "The Case For Mars"

Now you want to add a reference to the book mentioned in that sentence, so you enter something like this:

This is the type of operation described by Robert Zubrin, in "The Case For Mars"<ref>'''The Case For Mars''' ''The plan to settle the Red Planet and why we must'' - Robert Zubrin, with Richard Wagner, Foreword by Arthur C. Clarke - 1997, ISBN 0-684-83550-9</ref>.

Somewhere on your page you add something like this:

===References=== <references/>

Now for the real thing

This is the type of operation described by Robert Zubrin, in "The Case For Mars".

Also

By now, you've probably noticed that <ref></ref> can also be used in headlines just as I've done in the first headline on this page.
