Creating a New Template

There are three rule sets in each use case: bibliography, in-text citation, and footnote citation. When you design a rule set, you first design the template that covers the standard citation style, for example a standard entry in the bibliography. With that completed, you can add additional templates that apply in certain conditions.

For all the examples above, you would create additional templates for formatting that differs from the default template.
