It is a nonfiction book about personal finances. I have run into a place where he quotes a number of sources and denotes them with a # followed by a number. This refers to the footnotes at the end of the book. I need some help to know how to format this. Here is an example from the book. short years.#2 A recent survey conducted by Consolidated Credit Counseling Services found that 71 percent of Americans say debts are making their home lives unhappy.#3 A recent study in The Wall Street Journal states that 70 percent of the American public lives from paycheck to paycheck.#4 Interestingly, a Marist Institute poll published right after that Wall Street Journal article stated that 55 percent of Americans "always" or "sometimes" worry about their money.#5 If 70 percent are broke and only 55 percent are worried, I guess the other 15 percent are asleep.
