.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Pp
.Nm
is a
.Xr troff 1
preprocessor that formats reference lists in Harvard style.
It does not handle inline citations.
.Pp
Unlike
.Xr refer 1 ,
.Nm
does not re-arrange references.
They are inserted in the places they are specified in the
.Xr troff 1
source code.
.Pp
The
.Fl l
flag controls the language of certain strings, such as
.Dq ed. ,
.Dq pp. ,
and
.Dq and .
The following values are supported:
.Bl -tag -width xx -offset indent
.It Em en
English (default)
.It Em ru
Russian
.It Em sv
Swedish
.El
.
.Sh SYNTAX
.Pp
Lines beginning with
.Ql %
(percent) are treated as reference fields.
The percent sign is followed by a two-letter identifier,
signifying the type of field.
The field identifier is followed by a space or tab
and the contents of the field, spanning the rest of the line.
.Pp
Reference list entries are separated by any number of
non-field lines.
.Pp
The following fields are available:
.Bl -tag -width xxx -offset indent
.It Sy %ad
Access date
.It Sy %bo
Book
.It Sy %ci
City
.It Sy %da

Note that

performs no special formatting of the

field.
Thus, it should be specified as
.Dq "last name, first name" .
