| Things like [[public:nnels:etext:epigraph|epigraphs]], [[public:nnels:etext:quotations|block quotations]], and [[public:nnels:etext:back-cover|book reviews]] will often be followed by an attribution, either to an author or some other source. | Things like [[public:nnels:etext:epigraph|epigraphs]], [[public:nnels:etext:quotations|block quotations]], and [[public:nnels:etext:back-cover|book reviews]] will often be followed by an attribution, either to an author or some other source. |
| |
| The epigraph, block quote, and book review should be formatted using the **Blockquote (DAISY)** style from the NNELS Template, and the attribution should be formatted using the **Author (DAISY)** style or the **Citation (DAISY)** style, depending on what is appropriate. | The epigraph, block quote, and book review should be formatted using the ''Quote'' style in the Word Style Pane, and the attribution should be formatted using the a custom style ''Citation''. |
| |
| Use the **Author (DAISY)** style when there is only an author name, and the **Citation (DAISY)** style when the source includes a person's name //and// the name of a work (or just the name of a work). See example in the Q&A below. | To create a new style: |
| | * Select ''New Style...'' from Styles Pane |
| | * This opens up a pop up window for the New Style |
| | * Change name to ''Citation'' |
| | * For ''Style Based On'' select ''Normal'' |
| | * Select ''OK'' |
| |
| The **Author (DAISY)** style is also used in [[public:nnels:etext:poetry|poetry]], to mark the name of the author. | Style all Author and Citations with this style. |
| |
| =====Q&A===== | |
| |
| **Q: Is it appropriate to use the "Author" style for marking up the source of an epigraph? The source is not an author, but a text ("Emmanuel's Book")** | |
| |
| A: The "Author" style should be used to mark up the source of an epigraph when that source is the name of a person. If the source includes a name of a person __and__ the name of a work, or just the name of the source (i.e. it's a citation) then we should use the "Citation" style. | |
| |
| For example, we should mark the entire quote below with "Blockquote" style and then mark the author's name with the "Author" style. | |
| | |
| "It is a certainty that the free market will always generate greater | |
| wealth for the main players than will a planned economy. The question is, | |
| at what cost?" | |
| Virginia Hamilton Anderson | |
| | |
| If the source includes extra information (more than just a name), then we must mark up the text with the "Citation" style. The Citation style marks a reference or citation to another source. | |
| |
| For example, we would mark Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland with the "Citation" style: | |
| |
| "If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there." | |
| Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland | |
