I stole from Aleta Curry the idea of keeping helpful hints for myself (and anyone else who wants to use them) here so I won't forget how to do certain things in CZ.

To insert footnotes in an article, put the text of the footnote between <ref> and </ref>. That will create the superscript number. But also, at the bottom of the article, where you want the text of the footnotes to appear, put ==Notes== (or References or Footnotes or whatever you want the heading to be), and on the next line, put <references\> (note that backslash after the keyword).

To display wiki markup keywords literally, and suppress their interpretation (i.e., to "quote" them, in SAS Macro parlance), use the keyword <nowiki> .
