    <title>References</title>
    <shortdesc>In scholarly work requiring exact references, abbreviate titles that occur
        frequently, giving the full forms in an alphabetical list at the end.</shortdesc>
    <conbody>
        <p>As a general practice, give the references in parenthesis or in footnotes, not in the
            body of the sentence. Omit the words act, scene, line, book, volume, page, except when
            referring by only one of them. Punctuate as indicated below.</p>
