Adding Bibliographical references and footnotes to a Story
To add a Biblio reference, first thing you should check is that the referenced article is present in our database (Browse->Bibliographical references). If it is not, just create it.
There's a faster way to know if the article is listed in the database. When adding the Story, check the field "bibref" above the "Body" field.
In that field type part of the title for the searched reference:
Select the article to be referred. You'll see something like:
Now, the tricky part. In the Body field, write your article. To add the reference, click the upper-left "Fuente HTML" or "HTML Source" or whichever it is in the language you have the browser on. And everything becomes a litlle messy, as what you're looking into now is the real HTML code for what you're writing. Doing it for this article:
Don't panic (although this code can become really messy, the text can be easilly followed for a typical article) and look for the place where to add the reference. Once located, add <bib>2789</bib>, being "2789" the "nid" given in the bibref field for your article. It will look like 1
And that's it. Click on the upper-left "Fuente HTML" or "HTML Source"again and the tick is done. When you publish the article, an ordered sequence of references shall be created. One last thing, delete the content in the "bibref" field, if you do not want that messing in your article everywhere.
The best part is that references are integrated with footnotes. To add a footnote the process is the same, but instead of typing <bib>2789</bib>, type <fn>TEXT OF THE FOOTNOTE</fn>, and reference numbers shall be created and ordered. Doing it2
We're working on the messy part to make it more efficient, but that's how it has to be done by now.
