<h2 id="intro-ref" class="docs">Introduction to bibliographies and references</h2>
<p>
Mom provides the ability to format and generate bibliographies, as
well as footnote or endnote references, in MLA (Modern Language
Association) style. She accomplishes this by working in conjunction
with a special groff program called <kbd>refer</kbd>.
</p>
<p>
<kbd>Refer</kbd> requires first that you create a database of works
that will be cited in your documents. Once that’s done, special
macros let you briefly key in references to entries in the database
and have mom format them with respect to order, punctuation and
italicization in footnotes, endnotes, or a full bibliography.
</p>
<p>
<kbd>Refer</kbd> has 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. (It’s a classic manpage
Catch-22: the manpage is useful only after you know how to use the
program.)
</p>
<p>
In order to get mom users up and running with <kbd>refer</kbd>,
this section of mom’s documentation focuses exclusively, in a
recipe-like manner, on what you need to know to use <kbd>refer</kbd>
satisfactorily in conjunction with mom. The instructions are not to
be taken as a manual on full <kbd>refer</kbd> usage.
</p>
<p>
If you’re already a <kbd>refer</kbd> user, the information
herein will be useful for adapting your current <kbd>refer</kbd>
usage to mom’s way of doing things. If you’ve never
used <kbd>refer</kbd>, the information is essential, and, in many
cases, may be all you need.
</p>
<p>
I encourage anyone interested in what MLA style looks
like—and, by extension, how your bibliographies and references
will look after mom formats them—to check out
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">

or any other website or reference book on MLA style.

<h4 id="db-ref" class="docs">1. Create a refer database</h4>
<p>
The first step in using <kbd>refer</kbd> with mom is creating a
database. The database is a text file containing entries for the
works you will be citing. You may set up separate databases for
individual documents, or create a large database that can be
accessed by many documents.
</p>
<p>
Entries (“records” in refer-speak) in the database
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. <kbd>%A</kbd> or <kbd>%T</kbd>. 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.
</p>
<!-- Add rules for punctuation and italics -->
<p>
Here’s an example database containing two records so you can
visualize what the above paragraph says.

</div>
<p>
The order in which you enter fields doesn’t matter.
<kbd>Refer</kbd> will re-arrange them for you.
</p>
<h4 id="rcommands-ref" class="docs">2. Insert a refer block</h4>
<p>
Having set up your database, you now need to put some
<kbd>refer</kbd>-specific commands in your mom file.
</p>
<p>
<kbd>Refer</kbd> commands are introduced by a single line
containing <kbd>.R1</kbd>, and concluded with a single line
containing <kbd>.R2</kbd>. What goes between the <kbd>.R1</kbd>
and <kbd>.R2</kbd> lines is called a “refer block”.
<kbd>Refer</kbd> commands in a refer block should be entered one per
line, in lowercase letters, <i>with no initial period</i> (dot).
The specific commands, and the placement of the block, depend on
whether you want your references in footnotes/endnotes or in a
bibliography.
</p>
<h5 id="fn-en-block" class="docs" style="font-size: 90%; margin-top: .25em;">Refer block for footnotes/endnotes</h5>
<p style="margin-top: .5em;">
If you want footnote or endnote references, place this block at
the <i>top</i> of your mom file.

-->
<h4 id="placement-ref" class="docs">3. Tell mom where you want your references (footnotes/endnotes or a bibliography)</h4>
<p>
If you want references in footnotes, issue the instruction
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
.FOOTNOTE_REFS
</span>
anywhere before the first citation in your file.
</p>
<p>
If you want references in endnotes, issue the instruction
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
.ENDNOTE_REFS
</span>
anywhere before the first citation in your file.
</p>
<p>
If you want your references in a bibliography, issue the instruction
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
.BIBLIOGRAPHY
</span>
at the end of your file, before
<a href="tables-of-contents.html#TOC">TOC</a>
(Table of Contents).
</p>
<h4 id="accessing-ref" class="docs">4. Accessing references in the database</h4>
<p>
References are accessed by putting keywords from the desired database
record between two special <kbd>refer</kbd> commands:
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
.[
</span>
and
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
.]
</span>
Keywords are any word, or set of words, that identify a database
record unambiguously. Thus, if you have only one database record for
the author Ray Bradbury,
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
.[
bradbury
.]
</span>
is sufficient. However, if your database contains several records
for books by Bradbury, say, <i>Fahrenheit 451</i> and <i>The
Martian Chronicles</i>,
“<kbd>bradbury 451</kbd>” and
“<kbd>bradbury martian</kbd>” would identify the two records unambiguously.
</p>
<p>
A special database field identifier, <kbd>%K</kbd>, lets you create
unique keywords for database records to help clear up any ambiguity.
</p>
<p>
Notice that you don’t have to worry about capitalization when
entering keywords.
</p>
<h4 id="fn-en-recipe" class="docs">5. Entering footnote/endnote references</h4>
<p>
Depending on which you have issued, a
<kbd><a href="#footnote-refs">.FOOTNOTE_REFS</a></kbd>
or an
<kbd><a href="#endnote-refs">.ENDNOTE_REFS</a></kbd>
command, entering references is done like this:
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
.REF
.[
keyword(s)
.]
.REF
</span>
If FOOTNOTE_REFS is in effect, the reference between the first
and second <kbd>.REF</kbd> will be treated as a footnote. If
ENDNOTE_REFS, it will be treated as an endnote. Endnote references
must be explictly output with
<a href="docelement.html#ENDNOTES">ENDNOTES</a>
at the end of your file, before
<a href="tables-of-contents.html#TOC">TOC</a>.
</p>
<div class="box-important">
<p class="tip">
<span class="important">Important:</span>
REF behaves identically to
<a href="docelement.html#footnote">FOOTNOTE</a>
and
<a href="docelement.html#endnote">ENDNOTE</a>
with respect to the use of the <kbd>\c</kbd> inline escape. Please
read the
<a href="docelement.html#footnote-note">HYPER IMPORTANT NOTE</a>
found in the document entry for FOOTNOTE (which also applies to
ENDNOTE).
</p>
</div>
<h4 id="bibliography-recipe" class="docs">6. Creating a bibliography</h4>
<p>
Bibliographic references come between
<kbd><a href="#bibliography">.BIBLIOGRAPHY</a></kbd>
and
<kbd><a href="#bibliography">.BIBLIOGRAPHY OFF</a></kbd>.
They require no <kbd>.REF</kbd>’s surrounding the
<kbd>.[</kbd> and <kbd>.]</kbd> commands.
Once you have input the desired references, issue the
following, exactly as shown:
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
.[
$LIST$
.]
</span>
and follow it with <kbd>.BIBLIOGRAPHY OFF</kbd>.
Study the example provided below if you’re having trouble
visualizing this.
</p>
<div id="example-bibliography" class="examples" style="margin-top: -.5em;">Example bibliography</div>
<div class="examples-container" style="padding-bottom: 1em;">
<span class="pre">

</div>
<p>
Alternatively, if you wish to output your entire database as a
bibliography, do the following at the end of your document, before
<kbd><a href="tables-of-contest.html#TOC">.TOC</a></kbd>:
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
.BIBLIOGRAPHY

<h4 id="invoking-ref" class="docs">7. Invoking groff with mom and refer</h4>
<p>
So, now you’ve got a document formatted properly to use
references processed with <kbd>refer</kbd>, what do you do to output
the document?
</p>
<p>
It’s simple. Instead of invoking groff with just the
<kbd>-mom</kbd> option, as explained
<a href="using.html#using-saving">here</a>,
invoke groff with the <kbd>-R</kbd> option as well, like this:
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
groff -R -mom <filename> ...
</span>
</p>
</div>
<div class="rule-medium" style="margin-top: 1em;"><hr/></div>
<h2 id="mla" class="docs">MLA (Modern Language Association) style</h2>
<h3 id="ref-styles" class="docs">Types of references (endnote/footnote or bibliographic)</h3>
<p>
MLA allows for three types of references, or referencing styles:
</p>
<ul style="margin-top: -.5em;">
<li>short, parenthetical references in the text, linked to a list
of works cited (a bibliography) at the end of the document</li>
<li>footnote references</li>
<li>endnote references</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-top: -.5em;">
There are significant differences between the way footnote/endnote
references should be formatted, and the formatting style of
bibliographies. One example is that footnote/endnote references
should have their first lines indented, whereas bibliographic
references should have their second lines indented. Fortunately,
with mom, there’s no need to concern yourself with the differences;
they’re taken care of automatically.
</p>
<p>
In terms of inserting references into your documents,
footnote/endnote references are input in a manner similar to
entering any other kind of
<a href="docelement.html#footnote-into">footnote</a>
or
<a href="docelement.html#endnote-into">endnote</a>.
Parenthetical references linked to a bibliography, however, need to
be handled differently.
</p>
<h3 id="parenthetical" class="docs">Inserting parenthetical references into the text</h3>
<p>
MLA style prefers restricting the information in parenthetical
references to the barest minimum needed to find the cited work in
the bibliography. Human judgment is usually required, therefore
it is generally best to enter the parenthetical references by hand
rather than asking mom and <kbd>refer</kbd> to generate them. While
the latter is possible with the macro pair,
<kbd><a href="#bracket-refs-parens">.REF(</a> /<a href="#bracket-refs-parens">.REF)</a></kbd>,
it requires more work to set up your
<a href="#db-ref">database</a>
and interrupts the flow of your input file. Consider these two
examples, which accomplish exactly the same thing:
</p>
<div class="examples-container" style="padding-bottom: .25em;">
<span class="pre-in-pp">
Ancient writers attributed the invention of the monochord
to Pythagoras, who lived in the sixth century BC (Marcuse,
\*[IT]Survey\*[ROM] 197). Marcone, however, discovered
precursors of the instrument dating at least two centuries
earlier (\*[IT]Plectrum\*[ROM] 98).

<h2 id="database" class="docs">The refer database</h2>
<h3 id="database-intro" class="docs">Introduction</h3>
<p style="margin-top: .5em;">
The heart and soul of <kbd>refer</kbd> is the bibliographic
database. Knowing how to create records (ie. the entries for works
cited in a document) is largely a question matching data (author,
title, publisher, etc) with the correct field identifier. For
example, if you’re citing from a scholarly journal, you need to know
that <kbd>%J</kbd> is the field identifier for journal names and
<kbd>%N</kbd> is the field identifier for the journal number. Use
the
<a href="#fields-quick">Quick list of field identifiers</a>
as your guide.
</p>
<h3 id="database-rules" class="docs">The rules</h3>
<p style="margin-top: .5em;">
Entering the data correctly is also important. Fortunately, there
are very few rules, and those there are make sense. In a nutshell:
</p>
<ul style="margin-top: -.5em;">
<li>enter the data in each field in natural order; author John Smith is
“John Smith”, editor Jane Doe is “Jane Doe”</li>
<li>capitalize all proper nouns and words in titles as you expect
to see them; otherwise, use lowercase</li>
<li>use no terminating punctuation unless required; typically,
required punctuation is the period after a shortform
(“ed.” or “eds.”, “Jr.”,
etc) or a question mark or exclamation mark at the end of a
title</li>
<li>if part of a field needs to be set off in single-quotes, use
<kbd>\[oq]</kbd> and <kbd>\[cq]</kbd> (openquote, closequote) rather than the
single-quote (or apostrophe) character on your keyboard</li>
<li>if part of a field needs to be forced into italics, use the
escapes <kbd>\*[IT]</kbd> and <kbd>\*[PREV]</kbd>; if the italicized
portion concludes the field, omit <kbd>\*[PREV]</kbd></li>
<li>if you require characters with accents, ligatures or special
symbols, use groff’s “named” glyphs (eg.
<kbd>\['e]</kbd> for <kbd>é</kbd>); a full list can be found in
<kbd>man groff_char</kbd></li>

<h4 id="i" class="docs fields">%i – idem</h4>
<p>
Whenever there are several works by the same author, fill out the
<kbd>%A</kbd> field with the author’s name and follow it with the
<kbd>%i idem</kbd>, like this:
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
%A Jonathon Schmidt
%i idem
</span>
Per MLA style, the author’s name will be replaced by a long dash.
</p>
<p>
If it’s necessary to state the role the author served (say,
editor or translator), fill out the <kbd>%i</kbd> field with the
information minus <kbd>idem</kbd>, like this:
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
%A Ray Bradbury
%i ed.
%T Timeless Stories for Today and Tomorrow
</span>
</p>
<h4 id="p" class="docs fields">%p – post-author information</h4>
<p>
When citing from a preface, foreword, introduction, afterword or
appendix, MLA requires that the information come between the
author’s name and the work’s title, like this:
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
%A Martin Packham, Jr.
%p appendix
%T Why the West was Won
</span>
Do not capitalize the first word in the <kbd>%p</kbd> field unless
it is a proper noun.
</p>
<h4 id="q" class="docs fields">%q – force title into double-quotes</h4>
<p>
Occasionally, you may not be able to use <kbd>%T</kbd> for the
title because doing so will cause it to come out in italics when
double-quotes are called for. An example of this is when citing
from a dissertation. Use <kbd>%q</kbd> to get around the problem,
like this:
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
%A Carol Sakala
%q Maternity Care Policy in the United States
%O diss., Boston U, 1993
</span>
</p>
<h4 id="E" class="docs fields">%E – editor</h4>
<p>
Use this only if the author and the editor are not one in the same,
e.g.
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
%A Geoffrey Chaucer
%T The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer
%E F. W. Robinson
</span>
</p>
<h4 id="l" class="docs fields">%l – translator</h4>
<p>
If there is more than one translator, enter all the names, with
appropriate conjunctions and punctuation, like this:
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
%A Feodor Dostoevsky
%T Crime and Punishment
%l Jessie Coulson, Marjorie Benton, and George Bigian
</span>
</p>
<h4 id="O" class="docs fields">%O – other</h4>
<p>
Occasionally, MLA requires additional information after the title
but before the publication data (city/publisher/date), for instance,
the number of volumes in a series, or the fact that the work cited
is a dissertation. Here are two examples:
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
%A Arthur M. Schlesinger
%T History of U.S. Political Parties
%O 4 vols.
%C New York
%I Chelsea
%D 1973
%A Carol Sakala
%q Maternity Care Policy in the United States
%O diss., Boston U, 1993
</span>
Do not capitalize the first word of the <kbd>%O</kbd> field unless
it is a proper noun.
</p>
<p>
Generally, consider <kbd>%O</kbd> a catch-all for information that
does not match the criterion of any existing field identifier.
</p>
<h4 id="C" class="docs fields">%C – city</h4>
<p>
Normally, <kbd>%C</kbd> takes the name of the city of publication,
and that’s all. In the case of a republished book, if new material
has been added, put such information in the <kbd>%C</kbd>
field, like this:
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
%A Theodore Dreiser
%T Sister Carrie
%d 1900
%C Introd. E. L. Doctorow, New York
</span>
</p>
<h4 id="d" class="docs fields">%d – original date of publication</h4>
<p>
Normally, all that is required in the <kbd>%d</kbd> field is the
original date of publication. However, if supplementary original
publication data is desired, include it in the field, like this:
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
%A Kazuo Ishiguro
%T The Remains of the Day
%d London: Faber, 1989
%D New York
%I Knopf
%D 1990
</span>
</p>
<h4 id="K" class="docs fields">%K – keywords</h4>
<p>
<kbd>Refer</kbd> hates ambiguity, and complains when encountering
it. Ambiguities result from the duplication of any word in more
than one database record when that word is used to identify a
reference in your input file. Use <kbd>%K</kbd> to create unique
keywords found nowhere else in the database.
</p>
<p>
Imagine, for example, that your database contains records for
Ray Bradbury’s <i>The Illustrated Man</i>, another record for
<i>The Illustrated Bradbury</i> and a third for <i>Bradbury,
Illustrated</i>. <kbd>%K</kbd> can be used to clear up any
ambiguities by assigning a unique word to each record, for example
<kbd>%K ill-man</kbd> for the first, <kbd>%K ill-brad</kbd> for the
second, and <kbd>%K brad-ill</kbd> for the third.
</p>
<h4 id="P" class="docs fields">%P – pages</h4>
<p>
When citing page numbers, which is often the case with footnotes
and endnotes, it is not necessary to put the numbers in the database
records. The <kbd>%P</kbd> field can be added underneath the
keyword(s) in the <kbd>.[</kbd> / <kbd>.]</kbd> entries in your
input file, allowing you to recycle database records. For example,
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
%A Frye
%T Anatomy
%K frye-anat
</span>
could be your short record for Northrop Frye’s <i>The Anatomy of
Criticism</i>. Any time you wanted to cite a particular page or
range of pages from that work in a footnote or endnote, you can
put
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
.REF
.[
frye-anat
%P 67-8
.]
.REF
</span>
in your input file, and have it show up with the correct page(s).
</p>
<h4 id="n" class="docs fields">%n – annotations</h4>
<p>
Annotations come at the very end of references. Capitalize all
words that require it, including, for bibliographic references (but not
for footnotes/endnotes) the first.

Macro: <b>REF</b>
</div>
<p>
The macro, REF, tells mom that what follows is
<kbd>refer</kbd>-specific, a keyword-identified reference from a
<kbd>refer</kbd> database. Depending on whether you’ve issued
a
<kbd><a href="#footnote-refs">.FOOTNOTE_REFS</a></kbd>
or
<kbd><a href="#endnote-refs">.ENDNOTE_REFS</a></kbd>
instruction, REF also tells mom where to place the reference. If
FOOTNOTE_REFS, the reference will be formatted and placed in a
footnote. If ENDNOTE_REFS, 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 in a
<a href="#bibliography">bibliography</a>.
</p>
<p>
Before you use REF, you must create a <kbd>refer</kbd> block
containing <kbd>refer</kbd> commands (see
<a href="#rcommands-ref">Required refer commands</a>
in the tutorial, above).
</p>
<p>
REF usage always looks like this:
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
.REF
.[
keyword(s)
.]
.REF
</span>
Notice that REF “brackets” the <kbd>refer</kbd> instructions,
and never takes an argument.
</p>
<p>
What REF really is is a convenience. One could, for example, put a
reference in a footnote by doing
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
.FOOTNOTE
.[
keyword(s)
.]
.FOOTNOTE OFF
</span>
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>
<div class="box-tip">
<p class="tip-top">
<span class="note">Note:</span>
If you’re using REF to put references in footnotes and your

FOOTNOTE_REFS is an instruction to

When FOOTNOTE_REFS is in effect, regular footnotes, (i.e.

You may sometimes want to embed fairly complete references directly
into the body of your document, typically, but not always, inside
parentheses. An instance where this might be desirable would be
when there are one or two citations in a document where footnotes or
endnotes are inappropriate, and a bibliography just plain silly (as
it would be for just one or two citations).
</p>
<p>
Mom allows you to embed references from your database directly into
documents through the use of the REF<bracket type>
macros.
</p>
<p>
All four macro pairs, above, are invoked the same way, namely
by introducing the reference with the first (“open”)
macro of the REF<bracket type>
pair, and terminating it with the second (“close”)
REF<bracket type> of the pair. For
example
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
.REF(
.[
keyword(s)
.]
.REF)
</span>
will embed a reference in the body of your document, surrounded
by parentheses. <kbd>.REF[</kbd> / <kbd>.REF]</kbd>
will surround the reference with square brackets, etc.
</p>
<h3 id="ref-style" class="docs">REF_STYLE</h3>
<p>
When embedding references in the body of text, you’ll need to
tell mom which formatting style to use: footnote/endnote or
bibliography. Footnote/endnote referencing style uses no periods
between fields, only proper nouns and titles are capitalized, and
publication data is enclosed in parentheses. Bibliography
referencing style separates each field with a period, every
field begins with a capital letter, and publication data is not in
parentheses.
</p>
<p>
If you want footnote/endnote style, invoke
<kbd>.REF_STYLE NOTE</kbd>. If you want bibliographic style,
invoke <kbd>.REF_STYLE BIBLIO</kbd>.

<p class="requires">

</p>
<p>
MLA-style requires that footnote or endnote references should
have their first lines indented, whereas bibliographic references
should have their second and subsequent lines indented. Thus, if
you invoke INDENT_REFS with a first argument of <kbd>FOOTNOTE</kbd>
or <kbd>ENDNOTE</kbd>, the value you give to
<kbd><indent></kbd> sets the indent of the first line for
those types of references; if you invoke it with <kbd>BIBLIO</kbd>,
the value you give <kbd><indent></kbd> sets the indent of
second and subsequent lines in bibliographies.
</p>
<p>
By default, the indent for all three types of references is 1/2-inch
for
<a href="docprocessing.html#printstyle">PRINSTYLE <kbd>TYPEWRITE</kbd></a>
and 2
<a href="definitions.html#em">ems</a>
for
<a href="docprocessing.html#printstyle">PRINSTYLE <kbd>TYPESET</kbd></a>.
</p>
<p>
If you’d like to change the indent for footnote, endnote or
bibliography references, just invoke <kbd>.INDENT_REFS</kbd> with
a first argument saying which one you want the indent changed for, 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#picas-points">picas</a>,
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
.INDENT_REFS BIBLIO 3P

into endnotes (with
<a href="#endnote-refs">ENDNOTE_REFS</a>),
you will almost certainly want to adjust the second-line indent for
references in endnotes, owing to the way mom formats line-numbered
endnotes. Study the output of such documents to see whether an
indent adjustment is required.
</p>
<p>
The same advice applies to references in endnotes when you have enabled
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
<a href="docelement.html#endnote-numbers-align-left">.ENDNOTE_NUMBERS_ALIGN_LEFT</a>

best.

left-aligned endnote numbers is a no-win situation, and so is best
avoided. Wherever you set the indent, you’ll end up with the

</div>
<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, mom 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>
<p>
HYPHENATE_REFS is a toggle macro; invoking it by itself will turn
automatic hyphenation of REF-bracketed references on (the default).
Invoking it with any other argument (<kbd>OFF, NO, X</kbd>, etc.)
will disable automatic hyphenation for references bracketed by REF.
</p>
<p>
An alternative to turning reference hyphenation off is to prepend
to selected proper names in your <kbd>refer</kbd> database
the groff

Macro: <b>BIBLIOGRAPHY_PT_SIZE</b> <kbd class="macro-args"><base type size of bibliography></kbd>
</div>
<p>
Unlike most other control macros that deal with size of document
elements, BIBLIOGRAPHY_PT_SIZE takes as its argument an absolute
value, relative to nothing. Therefore, the argument represents the
size of bibliography type in
<a href="definitions.html#picaspoints">points</a>,
unless you append an alternative
<a href="definitions.html#unitofmeasure">unit of measure</a>.
For example,
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
.BIBLIOGRAPHY_PT_SIZE 12
</span>
sets the base point size of type on the bibliography page to 12
points, whereas
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">
.BIBLIOGRAPHY_PT_SIZE .6i
</span>
sets the base point size of type on the bibliography page to 1/6 of an
inch.
</p>
<p>
The type size set with BIBLIOGRAPHY_PT_SIZE 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>
<p>
The default for
<a href="docprocessing.html#printstyle">PRINTSTYLE <kbd>TYPESET</kbd></a>
is 12.5 points (the same default size used in the body of the
document).

Unlike most other control macros that deal with leading of document

relative to nothing. Therefore, the argument represents the
<a href="definitions.html#leading">leading</a>

<a href="definitions.html#picaspoints">points</a>
unless you append an alternative
<a href="definitions.html#unitofmeasure">unit of measure</a>.
For example,

sets the base leading of type on the bibliography page to 14
points, whereas
<br/>
<span class="pre-in-pp">

sets the base leading of type on the bibliography page to 1/2 inch.
</p>
<p>
If you want the leading of bibliographies adjusted to fill the page,
pass BIBLIOGRAPHY_LEAD the optional argument,
<kbd>ADJUST</kbd>. (See
<a href="docprocessing.html#doc-lead-adjust">DOC_LEAD_ADJUST</a>
for an explanation of leading adjustment.)
</p>
<p>
The default for

BIBLIOGRAPHY_FIRST_PAGENUMBER tells mom what page number to put on
the first page of the bibliography.

Except in the case of

mom prints the same header or footer used throughout the document

by default, mom does not print the header/footer centre string
(normally the chapter number or chapter title.) In most cases, this
is what you want. However, should you not want mom to remove the
centre string from the bibliography pages headers/footers, invoke
<kbd><a href="#bibliography-hdrftr-center">.BIBLIOGRAPHY_HEADER_CENTER</a></kbd>

</p>
<p>
An important change you may want to make is to put the word

In addition, you can use BIBLIOGRAPHY_STRING_UNDERSCORE to control
