Useful reference. [|Online] is by subscription. Phil is finding the [|Quick Reference Guide] useful. There is supposedly a MyManual feature which appears to be implemented by style sheets. Previously the author has tabbed Turabian use. It was OK. Not sure if the online adds will add that much (March 27, 2011).

"**//The Chicago Manual of Style//** (abbreviated in writing as **CMS** or **CMOS,** or verbally as **Chicago**) is a [|style guide] for [|American English] published since 1906 by the [|University of Chicago Press].

... "The CMS is published in hardcover and [|online]. ...

"Chicago style offers writers a choice of several different formats. It invites the mixing of formats, provided that the result is clear and consistent. For instance, the fifteenth edition of //The Chicago Manual of Style// permits the use of both in-text [|citation systems] and/or [|footnotes or endnotes], including use of "content notes"; it gives information about in-text citation by page number (like [|MLA style]) or by year of publication (like [|APA style]); it even provides for variations in styles of footnotes and endnotes, depending on whether or not the paper includes a full bibliography at the end." - [|Wikipedia]

Unfortunately, while EMSE once implied the Chicago style, the syllabus now says "For source citations, you must use the parenthetical reference (PR) and reference list (RL) style (also known as the author-date system). (This is not negotiable – please don’t try.)"

Note: I usually use the APA style in the wikis, partly because it is the first choice in the Wikipedia Citations list. But, I really don't like the Chicago style provided by Wikipedia for web citations. Also note, the APA style gives the date of the source, not just the date retrieved. However, the Chicago Style Manual Online, [|Quick Reference Guide] shows some examples that I like better.
