My current style is:

> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat<sup><code>[1]</code></sup>. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

Source:

1. [example.com: A detailed article about a topic](http://example.com/)

* * *

When am quoting the source, does it mean, that everything from the previous "`.`" is quoted, or the entire paragraph? and the following text after the<sup><code>[1]</code></sup>, is not?

> eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua<sup>[<a href="http://example.com/" rel="nofollow">1</a>]</sup>.

What is the official reference style when quoting a source?

Also if what am quoting is a hundred page long PDF, should i post the link with the PDF only, or also the page number where my quote and source came from?
