Description
Use this template to create a reference list in small font for an article. Note that there is no consensus that small font size should always be used for all references; when normal-sized font is more appropriate on an article, use <references /> instead.[1]
Dependencies
CSS used
.references-small {
font-size: 90%;
}
Syntax
Type {{Reflist| where you would normally type ...}}<references/>. If used with no parameters, it will produce a reference list with a single column.
Multiple columns
Using {{Reflist| will create a two-column reference list, and 2}}{{Reflist| will create a three-column list. Three-column lists are inaccessible to users with smaller/laptop monitors and should be avoided.
3}}
Using {{Reflist| will allow the browser to automatically choose the number of columns based on the width of the web browser. Choose a column width that's appropriate for the average width of the references on the page.
colwidth=30em}}
Note: multiple columns currently render properly only in Mozilla Firefox and other Gecko-based browsers and Safari 3, though the feature is included in CSS3 so it should work for a larger number of browsers in the future.
Sample output
{{Reflist}} gives...
{{#vardefine:columns|1}}
- ↑ I am a reference
