(See also the Section "Modified First Page" and 'Typewriter-tech' examples)

Note the larger, bold font for the title (Works Cited is MLA Style; References would be APA style), and boldface & italics for book and article titles, as well as proportional fonts. The <ul> command (unordered list) separates entries (in alphabetical order) so each stands out clearly. Thus one does not need to indent either the first or second lines. An "ordered" list may be used if you wish to number the sources. A <P> can be put before each <LI> to separate entries further if desired (see last few entries) The result is again easier to read and produce (cf. Layout First Page).
