(db.html.informaltable)A bibliography. A DocBook bibliography may contain some preferatory matter, but its main content is a set of bibliography entries (either biblioentry
or bibliomixed
). These may occur inside bibliodiv
s, instead of appearing directly in the bibliography
.
Formatted as a displayed block. A bibliography
in a book
frequently causes a forced page break in print media.
Some systems may display only those entries within a bibliography
that are cited in the containing document. This may be an interchange issue. See Appendix E, Interchanging DocBook Documents.
The two styles of bibliography entry have quite different processing expectations. A biblioentry
is “raw;” it contains a database-like collection of named fields. A bibliomixed
entry is “cooked;” the fields occur in the order in which they will be presented and additional punctuation may be sprinkled between the
fields.
See biblioentry
and bibliomixed
for further discussion.

The entries in a bibliography
come in two general forms, “raw” and “cooked”. A raw entry is a database-like collection of named fields:

A cooked entry is formatted, including additional text, so that it is easy to render.
