This section contains examples of several common types of references. Each example shows the markup, followed by a rendering in CMOS reference list style (the article is rendered using what CMOS calls “author-date” style). The rendering comes from a beta implementation of a CMOS stylesheet customization created to test whether the markup suggestions are adequate to support a customization.
Here is a PDF version of this article.
