Notes:
While Greenwood is careful to define the various formats for references, he does not define the use of an apostrophe in a reference. This has been interpreted as meaning that it, like the use of an asterisk, means that it is a reference to the place in the text where that footnote is tagged, but that it is for a quotation.
