Line 95:

Because of a Wikipedia formatting quirk, the first footnote on a page might be treated as a quotebox when indented (as during May 2009). However, the indentation can be simulated, by line-splitting with HTML comments, between all lines within <ref>....</ref>:

<source lang="xml">

<code><!--use code-style font-->

<pre> In [[digital imaging]], a pixel&lt;<ref><!--

-->Rudolf F. Graf, ''Modern Dictionary of Electronics'',<!--

-->1999, Newnes, Oxford, page 569, ISBN 0-7506-43315,<!--

-->Google Books (''see below:'' References).&lt;</ref>

(or picture element) is the smallest part of an image.</pre>

</codesource>

The above line-splitting of the entire footnote text, into 3 lines, allows it to be coded as the first footnote of a page. Note that the first footnote might be in an infobox, appearing at the top of a page.
