A bibliography. A DocBook bibliography may contain some preferatory matter, but its main content is a set of bibliography entries (either biblioentry or bibliomixed). These may occur inside bibliodivs, instead of appearing directly in the bibliography.
Formatted as a displayed block. A bibliography in a book frequently causes a forced page break in print media.
Some systems may display only those entries within a bibliography that are cited in the containing document. This may be an interchange issue. See Appendix E, Interchanging DocBook Documents.
The two styles of bibliography entry have quite different processing expectations. A biblioentry is “raw;” it contains a database-like collection of named fields. A bibliomixed entry is “cooked;” the fields occur in the order in which they will be presented and additional punctuation may be sprinkled between the
fields.
See biblioentry and bibliomixed for further discussion.
