Bruce Tindall is a poet, author, and teacher. He spent over 20 years in the computer software business as a developer and technical manager. More recently he has taught writing at Southern Methodist University and the University of California, San Diego. He received a B.S. with Honors in Mathematical Sciences from UNC-Chapel Hill, an M.A. from Duke University, and an M.F.A. in Writing from Vermont College. He is co-author of two nonfiction books; has copyedited several scholarly manuscripts on East Asian history; and has published poems (one of which was nominated for a Pushcart Prize) in many literary journals, including the Beloit Poetry Journal, West Branch, Light Quarterly, and the Southern Poetry Review.
Howto
I stole from Aleta Curry the idea of keeping helpful hints for myself (and anyone else who wants to use them) here so I won't forget how to do certain things in CZ.
To insert footnotes in an article, put the text of the footnote between <ref> and </ref>. That will create the superscript number. But also, at the bottom of the article, where you want the text of the footnotes to appear, put ==Notes== (or References or Footnotes or whatever you want the heading to be), and on the next line, put <references/> (note that forward slash after the keyword).
To display wiki markup keywords literally, and suppress their interpretation (i.e., to "quote" them, in SAS Macro parlance), use the keyword <nowiki> .
To browse a list of all templates, click on "Special pages" in the left-hand column, then select the "Templates" namespace.
This explains how Definition Templates work: http://forum.citizendium.org/index.php/topic,1374.0.html .

Since I may be contributing to some of the James Joyce-related pages, I should probably explain that I am not related (as far as I know) to the late Joyce scholar William York Tindall of Columbia University.
