Shortcut H:FNCONV

This page describes procedures to convert the references from Footnotes defined in the body of the article to List-defined references where the references are defined in the reference list.

Such a conversion may be necessary in order to move text with many references from an article that uses the list-defined format to another article, or may be used to format all references in an article so that they all conform to the same format. It requires installation of the References segregator tool.
