Like Wikipedia, LIMSwiki has several ways for an editor to add citations to article content. However, all in-line citations (citations directly in the text of an article) require reference tags as such:

<ref> ''your citation code'' </ref>

Below are the currently available citation templates available. More may be added at a later date.

Template:Cite book

This template is used for creating references to books.

An example of the "Cite book" template

The following code...

  • {{cite book |last=Bloggs |first=Fred |editor-first=John |editor-last=Doe |title=Big Compilation Book With Many Chapters and distinct chapter authors |publisher=Book Publishers |date=2001-01-01 |pages=100–110 |chapter=Chapter 2: The History Of The Bloggs Family |isbn=1234567890 }}
