cite

citeNode

One source the document draws on, declared beside the scenes rather than inside one. It renders nothing where it is written: the reference list is generated from every cite the document holds, and !cite:#id() in prose is what points at this one. The head carries the identifier the citations use — cite#fs1969(…).
