For the insertion of a linked reference footnote: the following is placed at the insertion point of citation:

"... The centre gate consists of handsome iron scroll work."<ref>The Isle of Wight County Press, 6 July 1918</ref>

This is what is produced (note that the reference numbers in blue are automatically generated):

"The centre gate consists of handsome iron scroll work."

<references/>

This is what it produces (note that the list numbers are automatically generated):

Clicking on the reference number causes the screen display to scroll down to that reference number in the 'References' or 'Footnotes' section.
