=== Using templates to insert reference text === | |||
A number of templates, such as '''<nowiki>{{cite book}}</nowiki>''' and '''<nowiki>{{cite web}}</nowiki>''', are available to format the text between the '''<nowiki><ref></nowiki>''' and '''<nowiki><ref/></nowiki>''' tags in a more structured way. These are described at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates]]. Their use is optional: they do aid with consistent formatting, but on the other hand they can make editing more cumbersome. | |||
