Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Cite Books
Hello all,
I added the Cite extension. However, on wikipedia there are ways
that you can use formatting that tells it to cite a book or cite
webpage. For example, I can start with <ref>{{cite book | last1 =
Whealton | first1 = Bruce | title = test | editors = smith, mary; jones,
jean; smith, sam | publisher = Publisher | date = 2010 | pages = 100 |
accessdate = 2010-09-13}}</ref>
Doing that on my wiki shows that it doesn't recognize the cite
book and the {}. How is this accomplished?
Thanks,
Bruce
