<h2><u>Introduction to bibliographies and references</u></h2>
</a>
<strong>Mom</strong> provides the ability to automatically format
and generate bibliography pages, as well as footnote or endnote
bibliographic references, or references embedded in text. She
accomplishes this by working in conjunction with a special
<strong>groff</strong> program called "refer".
<p>
<strong>refer</strong> is a <strong>groff</strong>
"pre-processor", which is to say that it scans your files looking
for very specific commands (i.e. lines that begin with a period
[dot], just like macros and document element tags). If the
commands aren't there, <strong>refer</strong> can't do it's job,
and neither can <strong>mom</strong>. The scanning is done
<strong>before</strong> any actual <strong>mom</strong> processing
occurs.
<p>
<strong>refer</strong> is a program that's been around for a long
time. It's powerful and has many, many features. Unfortunately,
the manpage (<kbd>man refer</kbd>), while complete and accurate, is
dense and not a good introduction to <strong>refer</strong>. (It's
a classic manpage Catch-22: the information it contains is most
useful only after you already grasp it.)
<p>
In order to get <strong>mom</strong> users up and running with
<strong>refer</strong>, this section of <strong>mom</strong>'s
documentation focuses exclusively, in a recipe-like manner, on
what you need to know to use <strong>refer</strong> satisfactorily
in conjunction with <strong>mom</strong>. The information and
instructions are <strong><em><u>not</u></em></strong> to be taken as
a manual or tutorial on full <strong>refer</strong> usage. Much has
been left out, on purpose.
<p>
It is tempting to provide two levels of documentation, one for
users familiar with <strong>refer</strong> and one for newcomers
to <strong>groff</strong> and <strong>mom</strong>, but such an
approach may muddy the waters for newcomers. <strong>Mom</strong>'s
allegiance, first and foremost, is to newcomers. If you're already
a <strong>refer</strong> user, the information herein will be useful
for adapting your current <strong>refer</strong> usage to
<strong>mom</strong>'s way of doing things. If you've never used
<strong>refer</strong>, the information is essential, and, in many
cases, may be all you need.
<p>
(For the benefit of old groff-hands: <strong>refer</strong>
support in <strong>mom</strong> is heavily based on the
<strong>refer</strong> module of the ms macros. The choice
was deliberate so that those wishing to play around with
<strong>mom</strong>'s bibliography formatting style would be
tinkering with the familiar.)
<p>
<strong>refer</strong> requires first that you create a
bibliographic database. From the information contained in the
database, <strong>mom</strong> formats and generates bibliographies
and references in MLA (Modern Language Association) style. MLA
style is clean, contemporary and flexible, and is widely used in
the humanities, where the range of material that has to be
referenced can run from simple books to live interviews and film.
<p>
Once you have created your database, you instruct
<strong>refer</strong> (and <strong>mom</strong>) to access entries
in it by supplying keywords from the entries. Depending on what
you've instructed <strong>mom</strong> to do, she will put the
entries--fully and properly formatted with respect to order, punctuation
and italicization--in footnotes, endnotes, or a full bibliography.
<p>
I encourage anyone interested in what MLA style looks like--and, by
extension, how your bibliographies and references will look after
<strong>mom</strong> formats them--to check out
<p>
<pre>
http://www.aresearchguide.com/12biblio.html
</pre>
or any other website or reference book on MLA style.
<p>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> MLA style requires that second and
subsequent lines of individual references be indented. <strong>Mom</strong>
takes care of this for you with a default indent, which
can be changed with the macro
<a href="#INDENT_REFS">INDENT_REFS</a>.

<a name="DB_REF"><h3><u>1. Creating a refer database</u></h3><a>
<p>
The first step in using <strong>refer</strong> with
<strong>mom</strong> is setting up your bibliographic database.
The database is a file containing separate entries for each
reference you want to access from your <strong>mom</strong> files.
The file is <em>not</em> a "mom" file; it is a separate database.
You may set up individual databases for individual documents, or
create a large database that contains all the references you'll
ever need.
<p>
Entries ("records") in the database file are separated from each
other by a single, blank line. The records themselves are composed
of single lines ("fields") with no blank lines between them. Each
field begins with a percent sign and a single letter (the "field
identifier") e.g. %A or %T. The letter identifies what part of a
bibliographic entry the field refers to: Author, Title, Publisher,
Date, etc. After the field identifier comes a single space,
followed by the information appropriate to field. No punctuation
should go at the ends of fields; <strong>mom</strong> adds what's
correct automatically. Do note, however, that author(s) (%A)
requires that you enter the author information exactly as you wish
it to come out (minus the period), including the comma after the
first author's last name.
<p>
Here's a sample database containing two records so you can
visualize what the above paragraph says:
<p>
<pre>
%A Schweitzer, Albert
%A C.M. Widor
%T J.S. Bach
%l Ernest Newman
%V Vol 2
%C London
%I Adam and Charles Black
%D 1923
%O 2 vols
%K bach vol 2
%A Schaffter, Peter
%T The Schumann Proof
%C Toronto
%I RendezVous Press
%D 2004
%K schumann schaffter
</pre>
The order in which you enter fields doesn't matter.
<strong>mom</strong> and <strong>refer</strong> will re-arrange
them in the correct order for you.
<p>
The meaning of the letters follows. There are, with
<strong>refer</strong>, quite a few--all uppercase--which have, over
time, come to be "standard". <strong>Mom</strong> respects these.
However, she adds to the list (mostly the lowercase letters).
<p>
<pre>
%A Author -- additional authors may be entered on separate %A
lines as in first entry of the sample, above; mom
and refer will figure out what to do with multiple
authors according to MLA rules
%T Title -- either the primary title (e.g. of a book), or the
title of an article (e.g. within a book or
journal or magazine)
%B Book title -- the title of a book when %T contains the title
of an article; otherwise, use %T for book
titles
%R Report number -- for technical reports
%J Journal name -- the name of a journal or magazine when %T
contains the title of an article
%E Editor -- additional editors may be entered on separate %E
lines (like authors); mom and refer will figure
out what to do with them according to MLA rules
%e Edition -- the number of name of a specific edition
(e.g. Second, 2nd, Collector's, etc.)
%V Volume -- volume number of a journal or series of books
%N Journal number -- journal or magazine number
%S Series -- series name for books or journals that are part of
a series
%C City -- the city of publication
%I Publisher -- the publisher; %I stands for "Issuer"
%D Publication date
%P Page number(s) -- enter page ranges as, e.g., 22-25
%G Gov't.
ordering number -- for government publications
%O Other -- additional information or comments you want
to appear at the end of the reference
%K Keywords -- any words that will clear up ambiguities
resulting from database entries that
contain, say, the same author or the
same title
%d original
publication date -- if different from the date
of publication
%a additions -- for books, any additions to the original work,
such as the preface to a new edition or a new
introduction
%t reprint title -- if different from a work's original title
%l translator -- if the translator is not the editor; if more
than one translator, this field should contain
all the names, with appropriate punctuation
%r translator
and editor -- if tr. and ed. are one in the same;
%s site name -- for web sites, the site name
%c content
of site -- for web sites, the content, if unclear
(i.e. advertisement, cartoon, blog)
%o organization -- for web sites, the organization, group or
sponsor of the site
%a access date -- for a website, the date you accessed it
%u URL -- for websites, the full URL of the site
</pre>
<a name="REF_DISC_HY"></a>
<strong>Tip:</strong> If you have hyphenation turned on in your
document (you probably do), <strong>mom</strong> will hyphenate
your references. This can be a problem because references
typically contain several proper names. Proper names shouldn't be
hyphenated. The solution is to prepend to any proper name in the
database the <strong>groff</strong>
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_DISCRETIONARYHYPHEN">discretionary hyphen</a>
character, <strong>\%</strong>, like this:
<p>
<pre>
%A Hill, \%Reginald
</pre>
Alternatively, you can turn hyphenation off entirely in
references with the macro,
<a href="#HYPHENATE_REFS">HYPHENATE_REFS</a> <kbd>OFF</kbd>.
<p>
<a name="RCOMMANDS_REF"><h3><u>2. Required "refer" commands</u></h3><a>
<p>
Having set up your database, you now need to put some
<strong>refer</strong>-specific commands at the top of your
<strong>mom</strong> file. You cannot skip this step, nor can you
"source" these commands with the <strong>groff</strong>
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_PRIMITIVES">primitive</a>,
<strong>.so</strong>. They <strong><em>must</em></strong>
appear, exactly as shown, in every file requiring bibliographic
references.
<p>
<strong>refer</strong> commands are introduced with a single
line containing <kbd>.R1</kbd>, and concluded with a single line
containing <kbd>.R2</kbd>. What you put between the <kbd>.R1</kbd>
and <kbd>.R2</kbd> lines are the commands themselves. The commands
should be entered one per line, in lowercase letters, <em><u>with
no initial period (dot)</u></em>.
<p>
Here's an example:
<p>
<pre>
.R1
no-label-in-text
no-label-in-reference
.R2
</pre>
There are an awful lot of <strong>refer</strong> commands. We will
focus only on those required to get <strong>mom</strong> cooperating
with <strong>refer</strong>. If you're interested, study the
<strong>refer</strong> manpage to discover what other commands are
available and how to manipulate them.
<p>
At a minimum, all <strong>mom</strong> files accessing
a bibliographic database must contain the following
<strong>refer</strong> commands, exactly as shown:
<p>
<a name="REFER_BLOCK1"></a>
<pre>
.R1
no-label-in-text
no-label-in-reference
join-authors ", and " ", " ", and "
database <full path to the database>
.R2
</pre>
The first two commands tell <strong>refer</strong> to let
<strong>mom</strong> handle everything associated with footnote
and endnote markers, both in the body of the document, and in the
footnotes/endnotes themselves.
<p>
The third command is required for <strong>mom</strong> to handle
multiple authors in proper, MLA style.
<p>
The last command, <kbd>database</kbd>, assumes you have created
your own database, and do not otherwise have a system-wide
"default" database. "...full path to the database" means the full
path <em>including</em> the database filename, e.g.
/home/user/refer/my_database.
<p> If you're already a <strong>refer</strong> user, feel free to
enter whatever <strong>refer</strong> commands are necessary to
access the database(s) you want.
<p>
With the above <strong>refer</strong> block, you can embed
references directly into the text of your document, or have them
output as footnotes or endnotes. If you want to "collect"
references for later output on a bibliography page, the block must
read:
<p>
<pre>
.R1
no-label-in-text
no-label-in-reference
join-authors ", and " ", " ", and "
database <full path to the database>
sort
accumulate
.R2
</pre>
<a name="ACCESSING_REF"><h3><u>3. Accessing references</u></h3><a>
<p>
References are accessed by putting keywords, all on one line,
between the <strong>refer</strong> commands <strong>.[</strong> and
<strong>.]</strong>. Both of these commands must appear on separate
lines, by themselves, like this:
<p>
<pre>
.[
keyword(s)
.]
</pre>
Keywords are any word, or set of words, that identify a database
record (i.e. a reference) unambiguously. (<strong>refer</strong>
doesn't like ambiguity.)
<p>
If, for example, you want to reference a book by Ray Bradbury,
and the database contains only one book by Bradbury, a suitable
keyword would be "Bradbury". If your database contains several
books by Bradbury, say, <em>Fahrenheit 451</em> and <em>The Martian
Chronicles</em>, you could reference them with the keywords, "451"
and "Martian". If, in addition to the two books by Bradbury, you
also had one whose title was <em>The Martian Mission</em>, suitable
keywords to reference <em>The Martian Chronicles</em> might be:
<p>
<pre>
.[ or .[ or .[
Bradbury Martian Bradbury Chronicles Martian Chronicles
.] .] .]
</pre>
The database field identifier, %K, lets you create special keywords
for references. This can be very handy if you need both a "short"
and a "long" reference to the same work. The short reference might
be used in footnotes; the long one in a bibliography. Consider the
following:
<p>
<pre>
%A Isherwood, Christopher %A Isherwood
%T Mr. Norris Changes Trains %T Mr. Norris Changes Trains
%d 1935 %K Nor short
%t The Last of Mr. \%Norris
%a Intro. Tom Crawford
%C New York
%I New Directions
%D 1945
%K Norris
</pre>
To access the shorter reference, you'd do
<p>
<pre>
.[
Nor short
.]
</pre>
To access the longer one, you'd do
<pre>
.[
Norris
.]
</pre>
<a name="WHERE_REF"><h3><u>4. Telling mom where to put references</u></h3><a>
<p>
<strong>Mom</strong> provides several mechanisms for outputting
references where you want.
<p>
<h3>Embedding references in the document body</h3>
<p>
References may be embedded in the document body, surrounded by
parentheses, square brackets, or braces. Use whichever you prefer,
following the recipes below.
<p>
<pre>
Parentheses Square brackets Braces
----------- --------------- ------
.REF( .REF[ .REF{
.[ .[ .[
keyword(s) keyword(s) keyword(s)
.] .] .]
.REF) .REF] .REF}
</pre>
<h3>Footnote or endnote references</h3>
<p>
Most times, you'll probably want references in either footnotes or
endnotes. <strong>Mom</strong> provides a simple mechanism whereby
you can choose which, or even switch back and forth. The primary
tag is
<a href="#REF">REF</a>, which is used like this:
<p>
<pre>
.REF
.[
keyword(s)
.]
.REF
</pre>
<strong>REF</strong> collects references and outputs them
where you say with the macros,
<a href="#FOOTNOTE_REFS">FOOTNOTE_REFS</a>
or
<a href="#ENDNOTE_REFS">ENDNOTE_REFS</a>.
Neither
<strong>FOOTNOTE_REFS</strong> nor <strong>ENDNOTE_REFS</strong>
requires an argument. All they do is tell <strong>REF</strong>,
whenever it's invoked, where to put the references.
<p>
A recipe for footnote references looks like this:
<pre>
.FOOTNOTE_REFS
.REF
.[
keyword(s)
.]
.REF
</pre>
When <strong>FOOTNOTE_REFS</strong> are enabled, <strong>REF</strong>
behaves identically to
<a href="docelement.html#FOOTNOTE">FOOTNOTE</a>,
so please read the
<a href="docelement.html#FOOTNOTE_NOTE">HYPER IMPORTANT NOTE</a>
found in the document entry for <strong>FOOTNOTE</strong>.
<p>
The reference between the first and second <strong>REF</strong>
will be treated as a footnote, as will all subsequent
<strong>REF</strong> pairs unless you invoke the macro,
<strong>ENDNOTE_REFS</strong>.
<p>
A recipe for endnote references looks like this:
<pre>
.ENDNOTE_REFS
.REF
.[
keyword(s)
.]
.REF
</pre>
The reference between the first and second <strong>REF</strong>
will be treated as an endnote, as will all subsequent
<strong>REF</strong> pairs unless you invoke the macro,
<strong>FOOTNOTE_REFS</strong>.
<p>
When <strong>ENDNOTE_REFS</strong> are enabled, <strong>REF</strong>
behaves identically to
<a href="docelement.html#FOOTNOTE">ENDNOTE</a>,
so please read the
<a href="docelement.html#ENDNOTE_NOTE">HYPER IMPORTANT NOTE</a>
found in the document entry for <strong>ENDNOTE</strong>.
<p>
The innate flexibility of this scheme allows you to have both
footnote references and endnote references in the same document.
This would be desirable if, say, you wanted "short" references in
footnotes, and complete references in endnotes.
<p>
<a name="COLLECTED_REF"><h3>Collected references</h3></a>
<p>
Sometimes, you may want to put references in input text near
sections of text to which they pertain, but not actually want
them output until later (typically, on a bibliography page).
<strong>REF</strong> is used for this, too, but you have to make
sure your <strong>refer</strong> commands block is set up properly.
The recipe for this is:
<p>
<a name="REFER_BLOCK2"></a>
<pre>
.R1
no-label-in-text
no-label-in-reference
join-authors ", and " ", " ", and "
database <full path to the database>
sort
accumulate
.R2
</pre>
After this set up, and provided you don't issue a
<strong>FOOTNOTE_REFS</strong> or <strong>ENDNOTE_REFS</strong>
command, all reference between <strong>REF</strong> pairs will be
collected for later output.
<p>
As a precaution, <strong>mom</strong> will issue a message the
first time you call <strong>.REF</strong> if neither
<strong>FOOTNOTE_REFS</strong> nor <strong>ENDNOTE_REFS</strong> is
in effect. If collected references are what you want, and you have
set up your <strong>.R1 - .R2</strong> block as above, you may
safely ignore the message.
<p>
<strong>LIMITATION:</strong> You cannot combine "collected"
references (plain <strong>REF</strong>) with <strong>REF</strong>s
that are instructed to go into footnotes (with
<strong>FOOTNOTE_REFS</strong>) or endnotes (with
<strong>ENDNOTE_REFS</strong>). This is a limitation imposed by
<strong>refer</strong>, not <strong>mom</strong>.
<a name="BIBLIO_REF"><h3><u>5. Creating bibliography pages</u></h3><a>
<p>
Bibliography pages are separate pages, like endnotes, on which
complete bibliographies are output. And, like endnotes pages, just
about every element on them can be designed to your specifications
with control macros. (See
<a href="#BIBLIO_CONTROL_MACROS">Control macros for bibliographies</a>.)
A bibliography page that uses <strong>mom</strong>'s defaults
begins with the macro,
<a href="BIBLIOGRAPHY">BIBLIOGRAPHY</a>,
like this:
<p>
<pre>
.BIBLIOGRAPHY
</pre>
<p>
Following <strong>BIBLIOGRAPHY</strong>, you have three choices of
how to proceed.
<p>
If you have elected to have references collected from within the
body of a document (see above,
<a href="#COLLECTED_REF">Collected references</a>,
for instructions), which assumes you have a <strong>refer</strong>
command block like the one
<a href="#REFER_BLOCK2">here</a>
at the top of your document, you need only do
<p>
<pre>
.BIBLIOGRAPHY
.[
$LIST$
.]
</pre>
If you want to create the bibliography by hand (which may be the
case if you've used footnote and/or endnote references throughout
your document), follow this recipe, which assumes you already have a
<strong>refer</strong> block like the one
<a href="#REFER_BLOCK1">here</a>
at the top of your document:
<p>
<pre>
.BIBLIOGRAPHY
.R1
sort
accumulate
.R2
.[ -+
keyword(s) |
.] | "keyword(s)" are keywords identifying the
.[ | particular bibliographic reference you want
keyword(s) | from your database. Order doesn't matter here;
.] | the refer command, sort, takes care of that.
.[ |
keyword(s) |
.] -+
.[
$LIST$
.]
</pre>
Your final choice is to output your whole database. Again,
assuming you have a <strong>refer</strong> block like the one
<a href="#REFER_BLOCK1">here</a> at the top of your file, you need
only do:
<p>
<pre>
.BIBLIOGRAPHY
.R1
bibliography <full path to database>
.R2
</pre>
If you haven't put a <strong>refer</strong> block in
your file already, you can put the whole thing after
<strong>BIBLIOGRAPHY</strong>, like this:
<p>
<pre>
.BIBLIOGRAPHY
.R1
no-label-in-text -+
no-label-in-reference | These are actually optional
database <full path to the database> -+
join-authors ", and " ", " ", and "
bibliography <full path to database>
.R2
</pre>
Whichever option you choose, <strong>mom</strong> will output a
full bibliography page, complete with a title (BIBLIOGRAPHY by
default, but that can be changed).
<a name="INVOKING_REF"><h3><u>6. Invoking groff with mom and refer</u></h3><a>
<p>
So, now you've got a document, formatted properly to use
references processed with <strong>refer</strong>, what do you do to
output the document?
<p>
It's simple. Instead of invoking <strong>groff</strong> with just
the -mom option, as explained
<a href="using.html#USING_INVOKING">here</a>,
invoke groff with the -R option as well, like this:
<p>
<pre>
groff -R -mom filename

<a name="REF"><h3><u>Marking off references for footnotes, endnotes, or collection</u></h3></a>
<p>
Tag: <strong>REF</strong>
<p>
The macro, <strong>REF</strong>, tells <strong>mom</strong> that
what follows is <strong>refer</strong>-specific, a
keyword-identified reference from a
<strong>refer</strong> database. Depending on whether you've
issued a
<a href="#FOOTNOTE_REFS">FOOTNOTE_REFS</a>
or
<a href="#ENDNOTE_REFS">ENDNOTE_REFS</a>
instruction, <strong>REF</strong> also tells <strong>mom</strong>
where to place the reference. If <strong>FOOTNOTE_REFS</strong>,
the reference will be formatted and placed in a footnote. If
<strong>ENDNOTE_REFS</strong>, the reference will be collected for
output as an endnote. If you have issued neither instruction, the
reference will be collected for later output, most likely on a
<a href="#BIBLIOGRAPHY">bibliography page</a>.
<p>
Before you use <strong>REF</strong>, you must create a
<strong>refer</strong> block containing <strong>refer</strong>
commands (see
<a href="#RCOMMANDS_REF">Required refer commands</a>
in the tutorial, above).
<p>
<strong>REF</strong> usage always looks like this:
<p>
<pre>
.REF
.[
keyword(s)
.]
.REF
</pre>
Notice that <strong>REF</strong> "brackets" the
<strong>refer</strong> call, and never takes an argument.
<p>
What <strong>REF</strong> really is is a convenience. One could,
for example, put a reference in a footnote by doing
<p>
<pre>
.FOOTNOTE
.[
keyword(s)
.]
.FOOTNOTE OFF
</pre>
However, if you have a lot of references going into footnotes (or
endnotes), it's much shorter to type <kbd>.REF/.REF</kbd> than
<kbd>.FOOTNOTE/.FOOTNOTE OFF</kbd>. It also helps you
distinguish--visually, in your input file--between footnotes (or
endnotes) which are references, and footnotes (or endnotes) which
are explanatory, or expand on the text.
<p>
<strong>Additional arguments:</strong> If you're using
<strong>REF</strong> to put references in footnotes and your
footnotes need to be indented, you may (indeed, should) pass
<strong>REF</strong> the same arguments used to indent footnotes.
See
<a href="docelement.html#FOOTNOTE">FOOTNOTE</a>.
<p>
<strong>Note:</strong>
When <strong>REF</strong> is used with
<a href="#FOOTNOTE_REFS">FOOTNOTE_REFS</a>,
it behaves identically to
<a href="docelement.html#FOOTNOTE">FOOTNOTE</a>,
so please read the
<a href="docelement.html#FOOTNOTE_NOTE">HYPER IMPORTANT NOTE</a>

<a name="FOOTNOTE_REFS"><h3><u>Instruct REF to put references in footnotes</u></h3></a>

Macro: <strong>FOOTNOTE_REFS</strong>
<p>
<strong>FOOTNOTE_REFS</strong> is an instruction to
<a href="#REF">REF</a>,
saying, "put all subsequent references bracketed by the
<strong>REF</strong> macro into footnotes." You invoke it by
itself, with no argument.
<p>
When <strong>FOOTNOTE_REFS</strong> is in effect, regular
footnotes, (i.e. those introduced with <kbd>.FOOTNOTE</kbd> and
terminated with <kbd>.FOOTNOTE OFF</kbd>) continue to behave
normally.

You may switch between <strong>FOOTNOTE_REFS</strong> and

at any time.

Macro: <strong>ENDNOTE_REFS</strong>
<p>
<strong>ENDNOTE_REFS</strong> is an instruction to
<a href="#REF">REF</a>,
saying, "add all subsequent references bracketed by the
<strong>REF</strong> macro to endnotes." You invoke it by
itself, with no argument.
<p>
When <strong>ENDNOTE_REFS</strong> is in effect,
<strong>mom</strong> continues to format regular endnotes, (i.e.
those introduced with <kbd>.ENDNOTE</kbd> and terminated with
<kbd>.ENDNOTE OFF</kbd>) in the normal way.
<p>
You may switch between <strong>ENDNOTE_REFS</strong> and
<a href="#FOOTNOTE_REFS">FOOTNOTE_REFS</a>

Macro pair: <strong>REF{</strong> ... <strong>REF}</strong>
<p>
You may sometimes want to embed references directly into the body
of your documents, typically, but not always, inside parentheses.
<strong>Mom</strong> makes this possible through the use of the
<strong>REF<bracket type></strong> macros.
<p>
All three macro pairs, above, are invoked the same way, namely by
introducing the reference with the first ("open") macro of
the <strong>REF<bracket type></strong> pair, and
terminating it with the second ("close")
<strong>REF<bracket type></strong> of the pair. For
example
<p>
<pre>
.REF(
.[
keyword(s)
.]
.REF)
</pre>
will embed a reference in the body of your document, surrounded by
parentheses. <strong>.REF[</strong> ... <strong>.REF]</strong> will
surround the reference with square brackets.
<strong>.REF{</strong> ... <strong>.REF}</strong> will surround it with

<br>
<em>*<indent> requires a <a href="definitions.html#TERMS_UNITOFMEASURE">unit of measure</a></em>
<p>
Proper MLA-style references should have their second, and subsequent
lines, if any, indented. Since <strong>mom</strong> formats
references in MLA style, she automatically indents second lines.
By default, the indent for the second line of references,
regardless of whether the references appear in footnotes, endnotes,
or bibliographies, is 1.5
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_EM">ems</a>
for
<a href="docprocessing.html#PRINTSTYLE">PRINSTYLE</a>
<strong>TYPESET</strong>
and 2 ems for
<a href="docprocessing.html#PRINTSTYLE">PRINSTYLE</a>
<strong>TYPEWRITE</strong>.
<p>
If you'd like to change the indent for footnotes, endnotes or
bibliographies, just invoke <strong>INDENT_REFS</strong> with a
first argument telling <strong>mom</strong> for which you want the
indent changed, and a second argument saying what you'd like the
indent to be. For example, if you want the second-line indent of
references on a bibliography page to be 3
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_PICAS_POINTS">picas</a>,
<p>
<pre>
.INDENT_REFS BIBLIO 3P
</pre>
is how you'd set it up.
<p>
<strong>Tip:</strong> if you are identifying endnotes by line
number
(<a href="docelement.html#ENDNOTE_MARKER_STYLE">ENDNOTE_MARKER_STYLE</a> <strong>LINE</strong>)
and you have instructed <strong>mom</strong> to put references
bracketed by
<a href="#REF">REF</a>
into endnotes (with
<a href="#ENDNOTE_REFS">ENDNOTE_REFS</a>),
you will probably want to adjust the second-line indent for
references in endnotes, owing to the way <strong>mom</strong>
formats line-numbered endnotes. Study the output of such
documents to see whether an indent adjustment is required.

<a name="HYPHENATE_REFS"><h3><u>Enable/disable hyphenation of references</u></h3></a>

<nobr>Macro: <strong>HYPHENATE_REFS</strong> <toggle></nobr>
<p>
If you have hyphenation turned on for a document (see <a
href="typesetting.html#HY">HY</a>),
and in most cases you probably do, <strong>mom</strong> will
hyphenate references bracketed by the
<a href="#REF">REF</a>
macro. Since references typically contain quite a lot of proper
names, which shouldn't be hyphenated, you may want to disable
hyphenation for references.
<p>
<strong>HYPHENATE_REFS</strong> is a toggle macro;
invoking it by itself will turn automatic hyphenation of
<strong>REF</strong>-bracketed references on (the default).
Invoking it with any other argument (<strong>OFF</strong>,
<strong>NO</strong>, <strong>X</strong>, etc.) will disable
automatic hyphenation for references bracketed by
<strong>REF</strong>.
<p>
An alternative to turning reference hyphenation off is to prepend
to selected proper names in your <strong>refer</strong> database
the <strong>groff</strong>
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_DISCRETIONARYHYPHEN">discretionary hyphen</a>
character, <strong>\%</strong>. (See
<a href="#REF_DISC_HY">here</a>
in the tutorial for an example.)
<p>
<strong>Note:</strong> references embedded in the body of a document
with
<a href="#BRACKET_REFS">REF</a><strong><bracket type></strong>
are considered part of
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_RUNNING">running text</a>,
and are hyphenated (or not) according to whether hyphenation
is turned on or off for running text. Therefore, if you want to
disable hyphenation for such references, you must do so
temporarily, with <strong>HY</strong>, like this:
<p>
<pre>
.HY OFF
.REF(

Macro: <strong>BIBLIOGRAPHY</strong>

<p>
If you want to append a bibliography to your document, all you need
do is invoke <strong>BIBLIOGRAPHY</strong> at the place you want
it. <strong>BIBLIOGRAPHY</strong> breaks to a new page, prints the
title (BIBLIOGRAPHY by default, but that can be changed), and awaits
<strong>refer</strong> instructions. How to create bibliographies
is covered in the tutorial section,

<p>
<nobr>Macro: <strong>BIBLIOGRAPHY_TYPE</strong> PLAIN | LIST [ <list separator> ] [ <list prefix> ]</nobr>
<p>
<strong>Mom</strong> offers two styles of bibliography output: plain,
or numbered list style. With <strong>PLAIN</strong>, bibliography
entries are output with no enumerators. With <strong>LIST</strong>,
each entry is numbered.
<p>
Entering <kbd>.BIBLIOGRPHY_TYPE PLAIN</kbd> gives you a plain
bibliography.
<p>
Entering <kbd>.BIBLIOGRAPHY_TYPE LIST</kbd> gives you an enumerated
bibliography. The two optional arguments,
<strong><list separator></strong> and
<strong><list prefix></strong> have the same meaning as
the equivalent arguments to
<a href="docelement.html#LIST">LIST</a>
(i.e. <strong><separator></strong> and <strong><prefix></strong>).
<p>
You may enter <strong>BIBLIOGRAPHY_TYPE</strong> either before or
after <strong>BIBLIOGRAPHY</strong>. It must, however, always come
before the <strong>refer</strong> command to output bibliographies.
(See the tutorial section,
<a href="#BIBLIO_REF">Creating bibliography pages</a>,

<a name="BIBLIO_PT_SIZE"><h3><u>*Bibliography point size</u></h3></a>
<p>
<nobr>Macro: <strong>BIBLIOGRAPHY_PT_SIZE</strong> <base type size of bibliography></nobr>
<p>
Unlike most other control macros that deal with size of document
elements, <strong>BIBLIOGRAPHY_PT_SIZE</strong> takes as its argument an
absolute value, relative to nothing. Therefore, the argument represents
the size of bibliography type in
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_PICASPOINTS">points</a>,
unless you append an alternative
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_UNITOFMEASURE">unit of measure</a>.
For example,
<p>
<pre>
.BIBLIOGRAPHY_PT_SIZE 12
</pre>
sets the base point size of type on the bibliography page to 12
points, whereas
<p>
<pre>
.BIBLIOGRAPHY_PT_SIZE .6i
</pre>
sets the base point size of type on the bibliography page to 1/6 of an
inch.
<p>
The type size set with <strong>BIBLIOGRAPHY_PT_SIZE</strong> is the size of
type used for the text of the bibliographies, and forms the basis from which
the point size of other bibliography page elements is calculated.
<p>
The default for
<a href="docprocessing.html#PRINTSTYLE">PRINTSTYLE TYPESET</a>
is 12.5 points (the same default size used in the body of the document).
<p>
<!---BIBLIO_LEAD--->
<a name="BIBLIO_LEAD"><h3><u>*Bibliography lead</u></h3></a>

<nobr>Macro: <strong>BIBLIOGRAPHY_LEAD</strong> <base leading of bibliographies> [ ADJUST ]</nobr>
<br>
<em>*Does not require a <a href="definitions.html#TERMS_UNITOFMEASURE">unit of measure</a>; points is assumed</em>
<p>
Unlike most other control macros that deal with leading of document
elements, <strong>BIBLIOGRAPHY_LEAD</strong> takes as its argument an
absolute value, relative to nothing. Therefore, the argument represents
the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_LEADING">leading</a>
of endnotes in
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_PICASPOINTS">points</a>
unless you append an alternative
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_UNITOFMEASURE">unit of measure</a>.
For example,
<p>
<pre>
.BIBLIOGRAPHY_LEAD 14
</pre>
sets the base leading of type on the bibliography page to 14
points, whereas
<p>
<pre>
.BIBLIOGRAPHY_LEAD .5i
</pre>
sets the base leading of type on the bibliography page to 1/2 inch.
<p>
If you want the leading of bibliographies adjusted to fill the page,
pass <strong>BIBLIOGRAPHY_LEAD</strong> the optional argument
<strong>ADJUST</strong>. (See
<a href="docprocessing.html#DOC_LEAD_ADJUST">DOC_LEAD_ADJUST</a>
for an explanation of leading adjustment.)
<p>
The default for
<a href="docprocessing.html#PRINTSTYLE">PRINTSTYLE TYPESET</a>
is 14 points, adjusted.
<p>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> Even if you give <strong>mom</strong> a
<strong>DOC_LEAD_ADJUST OFF</strong> command, she will still, by
default, adjust bibliography leading. You MUST enter
<strong>BIBLIOGRAPHY_LEAD <lead></strong> with no
<strong>ADJUST</strong> argument to disable this default behaviour.

<p>
If, for some reason, you'd prefer that bibliographies be single-spaced

By default, <strong>mom</strong> inserts 1 linespaces between
bibliography entries on bibliography pages. If you'd prefer she
add a different amount of space, instruct her to do so with the

you'd prefer only 1/2 linespace. That would be done with
<p>
<pre>
.BIBLIOGRAPHY_SPACING .5v

As with endnotes pages, owing to the space inserted between bibliography
entries, bibliography pages may have hanging bottom margins.
Unlike endnotes pages, <strong>mom</strong> is sad to report that
there's nothing you can do about this, except a) pray things work
out, or b) set your <strong>BIBLIOGRAPHY_SPACING</strong> to zero.

By default, if your document is

<strong>mom</strong> sets the bibliographies in columns, too. However,
if your document is set in columns and you'd like the bibliographies not
to be, just invoke <strong>BIBLIOGRAPHY_NO_COLUMNS</strong> with no
argument. The bibliography pages will be set to the full page measure
of your document.
<p>
If you output bibliographies at the end of each document in a

<a href="rectoverso.html#COLLATE">collated</a>
documents are to be output at once, i.e. not at the end of each
separate doc, <strong>BIBLIOGRAPHY_FIRST_PAGENUMBER</strong> tells
<strong>mom</strong> what page number to put on the first page of
the bibliography.
<p>
If you set <strong>BIBLIOGRAPHY_FIRST_PAGENUMBER</strong> in collated

<p>
Except in the case of
