Hi,
This is how I use Refnotes:
I have a list of references in a data tiddler called 'Footnotes'
myref1: Title, Author
myfef2 etc
In the tiddler I want to include the reference, I use 'Insert preconfigured
snippet of text' in the editor to insert:
<<fnote "{{Footnotes##myref}} p.">>
then I just insert the 'myref number' and the page number.
Also, in another tiddler
{{{[!is[system]regexp:text[{{Footnotes##myref1}}]]}}} will show the list of
references for that book (this bit works but there's probably a better
syntax for it)
Regards
Jon
