== Multiple usage of references ==
It's quite usual to use a reference multiple times in an article. In order to be able and re-use a reference, you will have to name its tag like in the following example:
<ref name=John>
If the reference name has more than one word, use quotation marks instead.
<ref name="Name of the reference">
If you want to use it after the initial usage, simply write for the second position:
<nowiki><ref name=John/></nowiki>
or for the second example above:
<nowiki><ref name="Name of the reference"/></nowiki>
The slash at its end informs the render engine that this is a complete ref tag. A leading space character in front of the slash is not required any longer. This behavior is identical to common HTML5 tags.
