Usage

The options that the template offers may seem a bit complicated at first. Don't worry. Most of them are optional. If a book is you want to reference is Volume 1 or Volume 2 of something, then use the|Vol option. If it isn't, then leave|Vol off. Rinse, lather, and repeat.

Hyperlinks between citations & references

  • Link via Wikipedia link
  • Let the Harvard templates select the link ID.
