cite

citeMicronode

A citation in prose: a numbered badge that opens the note's reference drawer at the source it names. ref points at a cite declaration in the same document, so a citation of a source that was never declared is a compile error rather than a gap in the list. The number is assigned in citation order — the first source cited is 1. The empty brackets are required: a micronode head carrying an implicit value is prose unless a { or ( follows it (§1.5).
