When writing an article, I often have to mention something but the detail about the something is actually described a little bit later. In that case, which of the following is most appropriate? Or how should I decide which one to use?
(see below for the detail)
(see below for details)
(see below for the details)
Answer
Details is usually pluralized in such contexts. If there is only one detail, I would probably word it as, "See below for further information."
The article is optional. There's nothing wrong with it, but it is usually omitted for the sake of brevity. You can have a look at this Ngram to see which is the more idiomatic wording.
