WORD OF THE DAY
evanescent adjective | [ev- uh – nes – uh nt] SEE DEFINITION

Variable references work by strict textual substitution. Thus, the rule
To substitute a variable’s value, write a dollar sign followed by the name of the variable in parentheses or braces: either ‘ $(foo) ’ or ‘ $ ’ is a valid reference to the variable foo . This special significance of ‘ $ ’ is why you must write ‘ $ ’ to have the effect of a single dollar sign in a file name or recipe.

When there is no author for a web page, the title moves to the first position of the reference entry:
Note: Use the full title of the web page if it is short for the parenthetical citation. Articles found on the web, like the example above, are not italicized in the reference entry and are not italicized but enclosed in quotations in the in-text citation, just like a newspaper or magazine article. Reports found on the web would be italicized in the reference list, as in Publication Manual (6th ed.) Examples 31, 32, and 33 on pp. 205–206. They would also be italicized in the in-text citation, just like a book.
