Site references and reference markers provide
explanatory or amplifying information about material a reader may encounter on a page
anywhere at Electricka's web site.
site references
A site reference is similar in purpose to a footnote or endnote but is
organized differently:
- A site reference is an explanatory or documenting note or comment.
- All site references are grouped and placed at a single page of
Electricka's web site (the page you are now reading). This placement is
similar to that of endnotes in that all site references and all endnotes
are placed together; it differs from that of endnotes in that all site
references are located at a single page at Electricka's web site whose
location doesn't matter.
- A site reference is referred to by text or an item located on another
page.
- The mechanism for referring to (pointing to) a site reference from the
text or item located on another page is called a reference marker.
reference markers
A reference marker is a device similar to a notation number, such
as is used with a footnote or endnote, in that it is a symbol that marks the
location of commented text. As with a notation number, a reference marker is placed on a page just after the text or item it
denotes or marks. It is different in these respects:
- All reference markers are denoted by the same symbol. The symbol looks
like this:
{Ref.}.
- A reference marker is a hyperlink to a site reference.
- A reference marker refers to (points to) a site reference.
- One reference marker may link to a single site reference; or many
reference markers may link to a single site reference.
