corrected typo (followign --> following)

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}
===Usage===

===={{t|Rma}}====
Creates a "reference, manually anchored", with layout matching the output of the usual < ref> machinery. It is typically used in a ''References'' or similar section of an article. Its syntax is borrowed to some extent from {{t|wikicite}}. Example
:<code><nowiki>{{rma| tag=S1 | reference={{cite book|author=Smith, J.|title=The Big Book|year=1999}} }}</nowiki></code>
outputs

{{rma| tag=S1 | reference={{cite book|author=Smith, J.|title=The Big Book|year=1999}} }}

The <code>S1</code> (for example) is the "manual anchor"{{snd}}any string (preferably very short) assigned to the referenced work, and by which it will be referred later (typically using {{t|ran}}. The Smith source can then be referenced from article text using <code><nowiki>{{ran|S1}}</nowiki></code> (see below).

Citation templates such as {{t|cite book}} are not required; the following example uses "free text":
:<code><nowiki>{{rma| tag=J | reference=Jones, B. (May 12, 1868). "Many thanks for the gift". Letter to A. Ames. }}</nowiki></code>
This outputs

{{rma| tag=J | reference=Jones, B. (May 12, 1868). "Many thanks for the gift". Letter to A. Ames. }}

The default width of the tags column is 20px. If some of the tags are bigger than that, the {{para|tw}} parameter can be used to set a larger "tag width"; the same {{para|tw}} value should be used with ''all'' invocations of {{tl|rma}} in the article so that all tags line up evenly.

===={{t|Ran}}====
Creates a superscript "callout" (visually similar to the usual callouts generated by <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>) to a source which is cited elsewhere in the article using {{t|rma}}. Example:
:<code><nowiki>Smith disagrees.{{ran|S1}}</nowiki></code>
would appear in the article thus:
:Smith disagrees.{{ran|S1}}
(Click on the superscript {{ran|S1}} to see how the linking operates.)

Like {{t|r}}, {{tl|ran}} also accepts a <code>|page=</code> parameter:
:<code><nowiki>Smith disagrees.{{ran|S1|page=22}}</nowiki></code>
would appear as:
:Smith disagrees.{{ran|S1|page=22}}
(<code>|pages=</code>, <code>|p=</code>, or <code>|pp=</code> can be used instead of <code>|page=</code>.)
