+ <h2>References, citations, and indexing</h2>
+
+ <h3>Footnotes</h3>
+ <p>
+ Use <RT-code><RT-footnote></RT-code> to author footnote content directly inline with the text it references. During the layout phase, the pagination engine extracts the text, replaces the element with an invisible structural marker, and compiles a formatted footnote container at the bottom of the active <RT-code><RT-page></RT-code>.
+ </p>
+
+ <h3>Citations</h3>
+ <p>
+ Use <RT-code><RT-cite></RT-code> with the <RT-code>ref</RT-code> attribute to insert bibliographic citations. This ensures formatting remains consistent and separates citation data from standard prose.
+ </p>
+ <RT-code>
+ ... formalized as Basic Law V <RT-cite ref="Gottlob Frege, Grundgesetze, 1903"></RT-cite>.
+ </RT-code>
+
+ <h3>Dynamic cross referencing</h3>
+ <p>
+ A person authoring a technical document frequently refers back to tables, equations, or previous sections. Use <RT-code><RT-ref target="element-id"></RT-code> to link to specific content. This tag dynamically retrieves the numbering or caption of the target element, maintaining correct references even if preceding elements shift during editing.
+ </p>
+
+ <h3>Glossary indexing</h3>
+ <p>
+ Use <RT-code><RT-index></RT-code> at the end of the document to compile a glossary. Similar to the TOC compiler, this tag scans the DOM for automatic definition anchors produced by the term module and generates an alphabetized list of defined terms and neologisms.
+ </p>
