Basic <ref> tag

The basic concept of the <ref> tag is that it inserts the text enclosed by the ref tags as a footnote in a designated section, which you indicate with the placeholder tag <references />. The <references /> tag inserts the text of all the citations which have defined in <ref> tags up to that point in the page.
