Help talk:Reference display customization

Customization

Can someone help me? I want to use the below code to remove brackets from references but it doesn't work at all. Every other change in the style of the references works well except this one:

sup.reference a span {
  display: none;
}

Yoosef Pooranvary, this is super dumb, will probably break something, but it seems to work, relatively speaking:

.reference > a {
	position: relative;
}
.reference > a::after,
.reference > a::before {
	color: var(--background-color-base,#fff);
	position: absolute;
}
.reference > a::before {
	content: "▍";
	left: 0;
	top: 0.3em;
}
.reference > a::after {
	content: "▐";
	right: -0.20em;
	top: 0.3em;
}

The content are two of the Box-drawing characters. —⁠andrybak (talk) 00:29, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
