After reference processing, a each component of the reference is identified and color-coded for easy proofing. A typical journal reference looks like this:
The first item in this example is the reference type tag <jrn>, which specifies the type of reference that eXtyles has identified. Possible reference types are:
- <jrn> Journal references
- <bok> Book references
- <edb> Edited book or book chapter references
- <conf> Conference proceeding
- <eref> Reference to a website
- <lgl> Citation of a legal case or statute
- <ths> Reference to a thesis/dissertation
- <other> References to working papers, patents, maps, and other documents
- <unknown> Unsupported or otherwise unknown reference type
Reference types might occasionally be incorrectly identified as <bok> or <unknown>. Misidentification is usually the result of a punctuation error by the author or a pattern that eXtyles does not support.

The grey shading of the <jrn> tag in this example is achieved by configuring Word to shade fields. We recommend that you set Word to shade fields so that it is immediately visually clear whether content is plain text or a field. To adjust this setting in Word, go to File > Options > Advanced, and in the "Show document content" section, set "Field shading" to Always. |
Each element in a reference entry is identified and tagged appropriately by eXtyles during Bibliographic References processing. The following table lists reference components and their element names:
| Element | Example Text |
|---|---|
| bib_surname | |
| bib_fname | |
| bib_article | |
| bib_journal | |
| bib_year | |
| bib_volume | |
| bib_fpage | |
| bib_lpage |
