According to scientists, the Sun is pretty big.<ref>E. Miller, The Sun, (New York: Academic Press, 2005), 23-5.</ref> The Moon, however, is not so big.<ref>R. Smith, "Size of the Moon", Scientific American, 46 (April 1978): 44-6.</ref>
This is an example of multiple references to the same footnote.<ref name="multiple">Remember that when you refer to the same footnote multiple times, the text from the first reference is used.</ref>
Such references are particularly useful when citing sources, if different statements come from the same source.<ref name="multiple">This text is superfluous, and won't show up anywhere. We may as well just use an empty tag.</ref>
A concise way to make multiple references is to use empty ref tags, which have a slash at the end. Although this may reduce redundant work, please be aware that if a future editor removes the first reference, this will result in the loss of all references using the empty ref tags.<ref name="multiple" />
This is an example of merging multiple texts into the same footnote.<ref name="main">Remember that all the texts will be
included into the reference containing the name= attribute.
</ref>
<ref follow="main">Simply include the text to be merged into the first <ref name="name"> reference with a tag <ref follow="name">
This paragraph is included into a similar tag and it will be merged into the reference in former paragraph. </ref>
Result:
This is an example of merging multiple texts into the same footnote.<ref name="main">Remember that all the texts will be
included into the reference containing the name= attribute.
