{waiting apprehensively for something to explode}

[fox]

Wow, poll creator in Semagic.  Rock the hell on.

So I'm in the shining-things-up-before-printing stage now.  (I do have one more reference to check, but I'll do that this afternoon while my laundry is laundering.)  The pages are, of course, numbered; I also have three appendices, the pages of which are numbered A1, A2, A3, and B1, B2, B3, etc.  Today's poll question pertains to the reference list, appearing between the text and the first appendix.

[Poll #717320]


[eta:  Well, thanks, MHRA, you're a big help.

Unless local regulations specify otherwise, page numbers should begin on the first page of the main text (following the preliminaries) and continue to the end, and should be placed at the top right of each page.

I happen to think page numbers go at the bottom right, but I'm willing to be overruled by local custom on that one.  But, the end of what, please -- of the main text, or of the whole caboodle?  RAR.]

The MHRA Style Guide (when in Rome, after all ...) says the same thing (only I have footnotes rather than endnotes, which it totally allows, and that's good, because endnotes piss me off). I am looking through to see what it says about appendices.

Endnotes totally piss me off, too. if the reference is so important, put it on the damn page so that I can see it!
