Create an End-Of-Topic Bibliography
To create a bibliography that appears at the end of a topic:
-
In the Content Manager, select the topic that you want to edit.
Alternatively, you can create a new topic and edit that (see Create a Topic).
-
Position the cursor after the content in your topic. It needs to be on a new line, as if you were going to add a new paragraph.
-
Press Alt + Enter ⏎ (Windows) or Command ⌘ + Enter ⏎ (Mac) to display the Element Context Menu.
-
Add the bibliolist element.
Note
We recommend that you use
bibliolist
instead ofbibliography
for end-of-topic bibliographies. -
Build your bibliography structure inside the
bibliolist
element. To build the structure, you will need to use the various bibliography elements, as described in the DocBook 5.2 documentation (see https://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/5.2/bibliography.html).We have included an example bibliography at the end of this article. It shows a valid bibliography structure, so you can copy that structure as a starting point.
-
Select Save.
-
In the content of your topic, add references (citations) from the content to the bibliography entries, see Add a Citation.
The following code shows the underlying structure of a valid end-of-topic bibliography. When you are creating your own bibliography, look at the example to see how the various bibliography elements are used. Some are "parents" and others are "children", for example, author
is a parent
of personname
and personname
is a parent of firstname
.
