 +===== Syntax of RefNotes ===== 
 + 
 +> This part is from the [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:refnotes:syntax|syntax page of RefNotes]]. The below is a brief description of the most common usage in composing. Please visit the page for more details. 
 + 
 +==== Creating a reference ==== 
 + 
 +The basic reference syntax is: 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +Some text you have composed. [(This is a reference.)] 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +How the above code looks like in reality: 
 + 
 +> Some text you have composed. [(This is a reference.)] 
 + 
 +The reference is replaced with a link to the note text. 
 + 
 +A bibliographic list is made automatically at the end of the page. In the notes you can use basic text formating, links, smiles, etc., but more complex syntax (e.g. paragraphs, tables, lists) is going to be ignored. 
 + 
 +==== Multiple references ==== 
 + 
 +You may need to refer to a reference for multiple times within a same page. You can give the reference name when you first input it in the page. For instance: 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +Flood insurance schemes provide “reimbursement of damage costs” to flood victims for recovery from loss.[(arnell2000>Arnell, N. (2000). Flood Insurance. In: D. Parker, ed., //Floods//. London: Routledge, pp.412-424.)] 
 + 
 +Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Fusce porta elit purus, quis pretium dolor maximus at. Phasellus faucibus lobortis tortor vitae ultricies. Phasellus neque mi, bibendum id ex in, fringilla auctor libero. Nam ornare, quam eu dapibus tempus, urna leo viverra nisl, eu iaculis elit erat et augue. Curabitur ipsum velit, tincidunt a est vitae, pretium placerat diam. Sed sit amet tincidunt lorem. In semper dolor convallis, malesuada erat nec, pulvinar augue. Integer imperdiet condimentum massa a scelerisque.  
 + 
 +Insurance companies need information to determine size of premium to cover losses "over the long term".[(arnell2000)] 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +In the above example, a name ''arnell2000'' is given to the reference. So next time when you need that entry, just include the name of the reference. How the above example looks like in reality: 
 + 
 +> Flood insurance schemes provide “reimbursement of damage costs” to flood victims for recovery from loss.[(arnell2000>Arnell, N. (2000). Flood Insurance. In: D. Parker, ed., //Floods//. London: Routledge, pp.412-424.)] 
 +
 +>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Fusce porta elit purus, quis pretium dolor maximus at. Phasellus faucibus lobortis tortor vitae ultricies. Phasellus neque mi, bibendum id ex in, fringilla auctor libero. Nam ornare, quam eu dapibus tempus, urna leo viverra nisl, eu iaculis elit erat et augue. Curabitur ipsum velit, tincidunt a est vitae, pretium placerat diam. Sed sit amet tincidunt lorem. In semper dolor convallis, malesuada erat nec, pulvinar augue. Integer imperdiet condimentum massa a scelerisque.

 +> Insurance companies need information to determine size of premium to cover losses "over the long term".[(arnell2000)] 
 + 
 +==== Citation needed ==== 
 + 
 +If you think citation is needed for some arguments, you could point it out. For example: 
 + 
 +> Sediment load of the Yellow River accounts for 6% of the world's total [(cite:todo)]. 
 + 
 +This could be done like this: 
 +<code> 
 +Sediment load of the Yellow River accounts for 6% of the world's total [(cite:todo)]. 
 +</code>
