[[Help:Explanatory notes|Explanatory notes]] may need to be referenced. Because of limitations in the {{cite.php}} software, reference tags cannot be nested; that is, a set of {{tag|ref}} tags cannot be placed inside another pair of {{tag|ref}} tags. Attempting to do so will result in a cite error.

Attempting to do so will result in a cite error.


The template {{tl|refn}} may be used to nest references. The markup is:
The templates {{tl|r}} and {{tl|refn}} can be used to nest references. The markup is:


:{{tlx|refn|2=group=group|3=name=name|4=content}} ''name'' and ''group'' being optional parameters. The content may include {{tag|ref|o}} tags.
:{{tlx|refn|2=group=''group''|3=name=''name''|4=''content''}} or
:{{tlx|r|2=group=''group''|3=name=''name''|4=refn=''content''}} or
:{{tlx|r|2=g=''group''|3=n=''name''|4=r=''content''}} (shorter)
''name'' and ''group'' being optional parameters. The ''content'' may include {{tag|ref|o}} tags or another {{tl|r}} template.


The other templates listed below in [[#Footnotes: predefined groups|Predefined groups]] are variants of {{tl|refn}} that include a styled group and have a matching styled reference list template.

Example:
Examples:


===Using {{tl|refn}}===

{{markup

The use of the magic word <code>#tag:ref</code> is valid, but the sequence of parameters is invariant and nonintuitive. {{tl|refn}} and its variants use this markup internally.

In these examples, the footnote labels match between the footnote marker and the reference list:

Note: With named references, there is no need to add again the whole information, but just the name of the reference that contains said information. It doesn't mean that the inline note will display a superscript with a custom name.
