=={{anchor|Using signals as verbs}}Signals as verbs==
In footnotes, signals may function as verbs in sentences; this allows material which would otherwise be included in a parenthetical explanation to be integrated. When used in this manner, signals should not be italicized. ''See'' Christina L. Anderson, Comment, ''Double Jeopardy:  The Modern Dilemma for Juvenile Justice'', 152 U. Pa. L. Rev. 1181, 1204-07 (2004) (discussing four main types of restorative justice programs) becomes: See Christina L. Anderson, Comment, ''Double Jeopardy: The Modern Dilemma for Juvenile Justice'', 152 U. Pa. L. Rev. 1181, 1204-07 (2004), for a discussion of restorative justice as a reasonable replacement for retributive sanctions. "''Cf.''" becomes "compare" and "''e.g.''" becomes "for example" when the signals are used as verbs.
