In this namespace you can define commonly used notes (i.e., references) for the RefNotes plugin. You can define references using BibTeX syntax. BibTeX entries have to be wrapped into a <code> section. The key of BibTeX entry serves as the reference name. A separate namespace for accessing those references can be either specified as part of the key or in a separate comment (see example below) for all entries that follow.
