Notes and Bibliography
Captions available
The idea
In notes and bibliography, a raised number marks each borrowed passage and points to a note; a bibliography lists all sources at the end.
In practice
The note gives that passage's source details; the bibliography gives every source in full, alphabetically.
Where people slip
Notes and bibliography entries for the same source are formatted differently, which is the system's main trap.
