BIBLIOGRAPHY / REFERENCES
.........................
-There are three ways to prepare a bibliography using sisu: (i) manually
-preparing and marking up as regular text in sisu a list of references; (ii)
-(tagging citations for inclusion) using a restricted form for citations and
-marking them up to identify them as such (which sisu then parses and attempts
-to build a bibliography from), or; (iii) preparing a bibliography, using
-metadata tags for author: title: year: and the like, including an id: and
-shortname: the id can be inserted in footnotes in place of the citation, and it
-will be substituted there by the short title for the work.
