[Wikitech-l] Manipulating <ref>

Hi all, Does anyone know a way to manipulate the referencing style in wiki? For example, =================================== xyz <ref name=xyz:1>Some descriptions</ref> <references/> =================================== will produce something like: =================================== xyz [1] 1. Some descriptions =================================== and I would like to be able to edit the [1]. Instead of having all the footnotes be numbered, I would like to name them myself and have the footnotes be organized alphabetically. For example, I would like to view results such as: =================================== xxx[Smith 2000] yyy[Adams 2007] zzz[Thomas 2002] Adams 2007: Some descriptions Smith 2000: Some descriptions Thomas 2002: Some descriptions =================================== Perhaps some sort of a template? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! -- LK
