Previous Footnote3

 *   for reference, where xxx is some short name for the citation.
 * Under '==References== ' place  
 * If the same source has to be used several times, the additional references have to identify the footnote number and a label with which to identify the backlink (usually a letter "a" through "z").
 *   & then    for the first and subsequent additional reference links - In this case, "1" is the number in the References section and "a" is the backlink label.
 *   & then    for the first and subsequent additional reference links.
