Harvard-style footnotes. A footnote number in the body of the article links to a brief citation (author plus page number, or ...
[fn 2] For example, a common tactic is to define footnote group "fn" which shows each link as " [fn 9] " for the 9th footnote in the group="fn". A group name can be multiple words in straight double quotation marks ( group= "set xx yy" ), but a single-word name with no punctuation or other special characters, just ASCII letters and numerals ...
