Notice that this sentence refers to the above reference and I am calling it here<ref name="call-later" /> by calling the name of the original reference. Also notice that the second time I call this reference I give it a self closing tag like < /> which indicates the reference has be declared before.
Such references are particularly useful when citing sources, if different statements come from the same source.<ref name="multiple" /> Any reused tag should not contain extra content, that will spawn an error. Only use empty tags in this role.
 
A concise way to make multiple references is to use empty ref tags, which have a slash at the end. Although this may reduce redundant work, please be aware that if a future editor removes the first reference, this will result in the loss of all references using the empty ref tags.<ref name="multiple" />
