How to write the body
Charts, tables, timelines, key numbers, and images. Give each one a short name, then place it in the body or an appendix with [[name]] on a line of its own. Figures and tables are numbered in the order they appear.
Each # heading starts Appendix A, B, C. ## headings are numbered A.1, A.2. [[rating-key]] adds the source rating key table.
Cite sources from your OSINT Citation Generator lists. In the generator, save your list to a file; open that file here. Each source gets a short key.
Write [@key] or [@key, p. 45] in the text: the first citation of a source prints in full in a footnote, later ones in short form.
Write [@key] in a story where you use the source. A small source number prints there, linked to the source's entry in the numbered list on the last page; sources are numbered in order of first citation. [ORIGINAL STORY: @key] puts that label in front of its entry. You can turn the numbers off under Brief.
Use *asterisks* for italics. A page number in [@key, p. 4] goes before the final period.
No sources yet. You can still write notes by hand with ^[note text].
Each author's biography is written under Paper, with the author's name.
The "Cite as" line is built from the title, authors, number, version, publisher, date, and link under Paper.
