By default, eXtyles NLM will fully style references to journal articles. For other reference types, the number (if used), authors, publication year and URL (if used) will be styled. References can be styled carefully by hand, if necessary, but this should be avoided where possible. Instead, we recommend that you correct the reference (e.g., by fixing problems with punctuation in the author list) and then reprocess the reference by removing the start and end tags from the appropriate paragraph(s) and rerunning the Bibliographic Processing function.
Your eXtyles NLM template may include other bib_ styles that are not included here. These are used by the optional book and conference reference processing modules.
