Example: I need help in referencing

I am a new volunteer on Wikidoc and I don't knoiw how to add a reference that is not created by references manager. What can I do?

Answer

Step 1: Place a <ref> ... </ref> immediately after the sentence where you want a footnote number to appear.

Step 2: Type the text of the note between the ref tags. For example if I typed this

This was on of the first articles I published <ref>J Fam Pract. 2000 Oct;49(10):921-3.</ref> 

It would appear as this

This was one of the first articles I published

Note: If you intend on using the same manual reference more than once, you will need to assign a name to the reference. You can do this by writing <ref name="anythingyouwanthere"> ... </ref>. Your name can be anything you want. Without a name, every manual reference will be viewed as a unique reference. This means that a reference used multiple times will show up as multiple references instead of just the one.
