Content Notes

See also: The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers#Content notes

A content note generally contains useful information and explanations that do not fit into the primary text itself. Content notes may be given as footnotes or endnotes or even a combination of both footnotes and endnotes. Such content notes may themselves contain a style of parenthetical referencing, just as the main text does.

Famous quotes containing the words content and/or notes:

    “Thoughts tending to content flatter themselves
    That they are not the first of fortune’s slaves,
    Nor shall not be the last, like silly beggars
    Who, sitting in the stocks, refuge their shame
    That many have and others must sit there,
    And in this thought they find a kind of ease.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Or bid the soul of Orpheus sing
    Such notes as, warbled to the string,
    Drew iron tears down Pluto’s cheek,
    And made Hell grant what love did seek;”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
