Choose your Bibliography Style

When you have added the appropriate elements and attributes to your bibliography, the next step is to set your Layout to use a Bibliography Style. The Bibliography Style affects how Paligo will process your bibliography content. It will either use the:

  • Default "Normal" style, where elements are not reordered

  • Style for a particular standard, such as ISO 690. During processing, Paligo will reorganize the elements in the output so that they match the order and format required for the standard. The reordering only applies to your published output, Paligo does not reorder the elements in your topics in the editor.

To set the bibliography style:

  1. Select Layout in the top menu.

    Paligo editor. The Layout option in the header menu is highlighted.

    Paligo displays a list of Layouts. The list is empty if there are no custom Layouts in your Paligo instance.

  2. Select the Layout that you are going to use for publishing. The Bibliography Style feature is available on HTML5 and PDF Layouts.

  3. Navigate to the Layout's Bibliography Style setting:

    • On HTML5 Layouts, select General.

    • On PDF Layouts, select General and then Glossary, Index, and Bibliography.

  4. Choose the Bibliography Style:

    • Normal

      To keep the default bibliography style, which does not change the order of your elements.

    • ISO 690

      To produce an output that reorganizes the elements to match the order for ISO 690. For this option, your bibliography entries must contain the required elements and attributes for ISO 690 (see Set Up an ISO 690 Bibliography.

  5. Select Save.

You can now use the Layout to publish your content. Paligo will process the bibliography content to match your chosen bibliography style.
