@Section
@Title { Bibliographies }
@Tag { biblio }
@Begin
@PP
bibliographies @Index { Bibliographies }
The first step in the production of a bibliography is to create a
database of references based on the definition
reference.example @Index { @Code "@Reference" example }
@ID @Code {
"export @Type @Author @Title @Institution @Number @Publisher"
//1vx " @Year @Proceedings @Journal @Volume @Pages @Comment"
//1vx ""
//1vx "def @Reference"
//1vx " named @Tag" |2f "{ TAG? }"
/1vx " named @Type" | "{ TYPE? }"
/1vx " named @Author" | "{ AUTHOR? }"
/1vx " named @Title" | "{ TITLE? }"
/1vx " named @Institution" | "{ INSTITUTION? }"
/1vx " named @Number" | "{ NUMBER? }"
/1vx " named @Publisher" | "{ PUBLISHER? }"
/1vx " named @Year" | "{ YEAR? }"
/1vx " named @Proceedings" | "{ PROCEEDINGS? }"
/1vx " named @Journal" | "{ JOURNAL? }"
/1vx " named @Volume" | "{ VOLUME? }"
/1vx " named @Pages" | "{ PAGES? }"
/1vx " named @Comment" | "{ @Null }"
//1vx "{ @Null }"
}
For example, the database might contain
@IL
@LI @Code {
"{ @Reference"
" @Tag { strunk1979style }"
" @Type { Book }"
" @Author { Strunk, William and White, E. B. }"
" @Title { The Elements of Style }"
" @Publisher { MacMillan, third edition }"
" @Year { 1979 }"
"}"
}
@LI @Code {
"{ @Reference"
" @Tag { kingston92 }"
" @Type { TechReport }"
" @Author { Kingston, Jeffrey H. }"
" @Title { Document Formatting with Lout (Second Edition) }"
" @Number { 449 }"
" @Institution { Basser Department of Computer"
"Science F09, University of Sydney 2006, Australia }"
" @Year { 1992 }"
"}"
}
@EL
Since named parameters are optional, we have one for every conceivable
type of attribute, and simply leave out those that do not apply in any
particular reference. We can print a reference by using the @@Open
symbol to get at its attributes:
@ID @Code {
"@Reference&&strunk1979style @Open"
"{ @Author, {Slope @Font @Title}. @Publisher, @Year. }"
}
The right parameter of @@Open may use the exported parameters of the
left, and so the result is
@ID {
@Reference&&strunk1979style @Open
{ @Author, {Slope @Font @Title}. @Publisher, @Year. } &0io
}
Incidentally, we are not limited to just one database of references;
several @@Database symbols can nominate the same symbol, and invocations of
that symbol can appear in the document itself as well if we wish.
@PP
The second step is to create a database of print styles for the various
types of reference (Book, TechReport, etc.), based on the following
definition:
@ID @Code {
"export @Style"
"def @RefStyle"
" left @Tag"
" named @Style right reftag {}"
"{}"
}
Notice that the named parameter @Code "@Style" has a right parameter
{@Code "reftag"}. The style database has one entry for each type of
reference:
@ID @Code {
"{ Book @RefStyle @Style"
" { @Reference&&reftag @Open"
" { @Author, {Slope @Font @Title}. @Publisher, @Year. @Comment }"
" }"
"}"
""
"{ TechReport @RefStyle @Style"
" { @Reference&&reftag @Open"
" { @Author, {Slope @Font @Title}. Tech. Rep. @Number (@Year),"
"@Institution. @Comment }"
" }"
"}"
}
and so on. The following prints the reference whose tag is
@Code strunk1979style in the Book style:
@ID @Code {
"@RefStyle&&Book @Open { @Style strunk1979style }"
}
It has result
@ID {
@RefStyle&&Book @Open { @Style strunk1979style } &0io
}
Notice how the @Code "@Style" parameter of @Code "@RefStyle" is given the
parameter {@Code strunk1979style}, which it uses to open the appropriate
reference.
@PP
We can consult the @Code "@Type" attribute of a reference to find out
its style, which brings us to the following definition for printing out
a reference in the style appropriate to it:
@ID @Code {
"def @RefPrint"
" right reftag"
"{ @RefStyle&&{ @Reference&&reftag @Open { @Type } }"
" @Open { @Style reftag }"
"}"
}
For example, to evaluate {@Code "@RefPrint strunk1979style"}, Lout first
evaluates
@ID @Code {
"@Reference&&strunk1979style @Open { @Type }"
}
whose result is {@Code { @Reference&&strunk1979style @Open { @Type } }},
and then evaluates
@ID @Code {
"@RefStyle&&Book @Open { @Style strunk1979style }"
}
as before. Complicated as this is, with its two databases and clever
passing about of tags, the advantages of separating references from
printing styles are considerable: printing styles may be changed
easily, and non-expert users need never see them.
@PP
Finally, we come to the problem of printing out a numbered list of
references, and referring to them by number in the body of the
document. The first step is to create a numbered list of places that
galleys containing references may attach to:
referencesection.example @Index { @Code "@ReferenceSection" example }
@ID @Code {
"def @ReferenceSection"
" named @Tag {}"
" named @Title { References }"
" named @RunningTitle { dft }"
" named style right tag { tag. }"
" named headstyle right @Title { @Heading @Title }"
" named indent { @DispIndent }"
" named gap { @DispGap }"
" named start { 1 }"
"{"
" def @RefList right num"
" {"
" @NumberMarker num & indent @Wide {style num} | @RefPlace"
" //gap @RefList @Next num"
" }"
""
" @Protect headstyle @Title"
" // @PageMarker&&preceding @Tagged @Tag"
" // @Title @MajorContentsEntry {@PageOf @Tag}"
" // @Runner"
" @FootEven { |0.5rt 0.8f @Font @B @PageNum }"
" @FootOdd { |0.5rt 0.8f @Font @B @PageNum }"
" //@DispGap @RefList start"
" // @Runner"
" @TopEven { @B @PageNum }"
" @TopOdd { @I {@RunningTitle @OrElse @Title} |1rt @B @PageNum }"
"}"
}
We place the expression @Code "@ReferenceSection" at the point where we
want the list of references to appear; its value is something like
@ID @Code {
"1. @RefPlace"
"2. @RefPlace"
"3. @RefPlace"
"..."
}
where @Code "@RefPlace" is @Code "@Galley" as usual. We can scatter
multiple lists of references through the document if we wish (at the end
of each chapter, for example), simply by placing @Code "@ReferenceSection"
at each point.
@PP
Our task is completed by the following definition:
ref.example @Index { @Code "@Ref" example }
@ID @Code {
"def @Ref right x"
"{"
" def sendref into { @RefPlace&&following }"
" right @Key"
" {"
" @NumberMarker&&preceding @Tagged x &"
" @PageMarker&&preceding @Tagged x &"
" @RefPrint x"
" }"
""
" @NumberMarker&&x @Open { @Tag } sendref x"
"}"
}
Given this definition, the invocation {@Code "@Ref strunk1979style"} has result
@ID @Code "@NumberMarker&&strunk1979style @Open { @Tag }"
plus the galley {@Code "sendref strunk1979style"}. We first
follow what happens to the galley.
@PP
According to its @Code into clause, the galley will replace a
@Code "@RefPlace" in the nearest following {@Code "@ReferenceSection"}. If
every such galley is a sorted galley whose key is the reference's tag, as
this one is, they will appear sorted by tag. The galley's object is
@ID @Code {
"@NumberMarker&&preceding @Tagged strunk1979style &"
"@PageMarker&&preceding @Tagged strunk1979style &"
"@RefPrint strunk1979style"
}
The result of the @@Tagged symbol is always @@Null, so this prints the
@Code strunk1979style reference in the appropriate style at the
{@Code "@RefPlace"}, as desired.
@PP
Now @Code "@NumberMarker&&preceding" is the nearest preceding invocation of
@Code "@NumberMarker" in the final document. This must be the invocation of
@Code "@NumberMarker" just before the @Code "@RefPlace" that received
the galley, and so this invocation of @Code "@NumberMarker" is given @Code
strunk1979style as an additional tag by the @@Tagged symbol. Its original tag
was the number of the reference place, which means that
@ID @Code {
"@NumberMarker&&strunk1979style @Open { @Tag }"
}
has for its result the number of the reference place that received the
@Code strunk1979style galley, and this is the desired result of
{@Code "@Ref strunk1979style"}.
@PP
It might seem that if we refer to the @Code strunk1979style reference twice,
two copies will be sent to the reference list and it will appear
twice. However, when more than one sorted galley with the same key is sent
to the same place, only one of them is printed (Section {@NumberOf galleys});
so provided that sorted galleys are used there is no problem.
@End @Section
