If using more than a single source, '''so long as they are also being used under the same rationale''', it can be done in a single invocation by doing something like:
<pre><nowiki>
{{Text attribution|source=https://www.google.com, https://www.firefox.com, and https://www.example.com}}
</nowiki></pre>
Note that there is not a period after the end of <code>https://www.example.com</code>.
If multiple sources with '''different rationale''' are needed, seperate invocations of this template are required.
