Description​

A BiblioEntry is an entry in a Bibliography. The contents of BiblioEntry is a “database” of named fields. Presentation systems frequently suppress some elements in a BiblioEntry.

Processing expectations​

Formatted as a displayed block.

BiblioEntrys are “raw.” They contain a database-like collection of named fields. It is the responsibility of the processing system to select elements from within a BiblioEntry, present them in the correct order, and add all punctuation.

There is no expectation that a system will present all of the fields in a BiblioEntry or that they will be displayed in the order in which they occur.

Correct formatting of BiblioEntrys is an interchange issue. See Appendix F, Interchanging DocBook Documents.

Future Changes​

AuthorBlurb and Affiliation will be removed from the inline content of BiblioEntry in DocBook V4.0. A new wrapper element will be created to associate this information with authors, editors, and other contributors.

BookBiblio will be discarded.

Future Changes​

ArticleInfo will be dropped from the content model of BiblioEntry.
