The following section demonstrates a book reference, a journal reference, and a proceedings reference. Each reference should begin with the bibitem{Name} command. {Name} should be a short name that can be used with the cite{Name} command in the text.
The first reference is a book reference. It shows the authors, the Title in Italics, and the publisher, city, and year of publication in parentheses.
The second reference, for a journal, shows authors, ``title in quotes,'' journal name, Volume number in boldface, complete page numbers (beginning and ending), and year in parentheses.
The third reference is a proceedings reference. The authors, ``title in quotes,'' proceedings name in italics, editors, (publisher and year in parenthesis), and volume and pages.
To produce italics, the command sequence {it{Title in Italics} was used. To produce bold type, the command {bf{Number in boldface} was used. To produce right facing double quotes, 2 single quotes should be used. To produce left facing quotes, use 2 `left quote' marks. On most IBM keyboards this can be found near the number 1 at the top left corner of the keyboard.
For greater convenience and accuracy, OSA has provided a set of standard macros for some commonly used journal abbreviations. They contain special formatting commands to ensure correct spacing. They also save typing and ensure consistent spelling of the journal abbreviations.
See Table 5 for a list of journal abbreviation macros supported by the OSA style option. Other societies also use some of these keystroke saving macros.
Either the \btt{begin\{eqnarray\}} (as above) or the
\btt{begin\{equation\}} (as below)
command may be used to start the equations, in the appendix. The
appropriate ending command must also be given, of course.
\begin{equation} {\rm E} = \case 1/2 mv^2. \label{appa}\end{equation}
\section{}
The following section demonstrates a book reference, a journal reference,
and a proceedings reference. Each reference should begin with the
\btt{bibitem\{Name\}} command. \{Name\} should be a short name that
can be used with the \btt{cite\{Name\}} command in the text.
The first reference is a book reference. It shows the authors, the
{\it Title in Italics,} and the publisher, city and year of publication
in parenthesis.
The second reference, for a journal, shows authors, ``title in quotes,''
journal name, {\bf Volume number in boldface,} complete page numbers
(beginning and ending), and year in parentheses.
The third reference is a proceedings reference. The authors, ``title
in quotes,'' {\it proceedings name in italics,}
editors, (publisher and year in parenthesis), and volume and pages.
To produce {\it italics}, the command sequence
\{\btt{it\{Title in Italics\}} was used. To produce bold type, the
command \{\btt{bf\{Number in boldface\}} was used. To produce right
facing double quotes, 2 single quotes should be used. To produce
left facing quotes, use 2 `left quote' marks. On most IBM keyboards
this can be found near the number 1 at the top left corner of the
keyboard.
For greater convenience and accuracy, OSA has provided a set of standard
macros for some commonly used journal abbreviations. They contain
special formatting commands to ensure correct spacing. They also
save typing and ensure consistent spelling of the journal abbreviations.
See Table \ref{abbrev} for a list of journal abbreviation macros
supported by the OSA style option. Other societies also use some
of these keystroke saving macros.

alignments. Predecimal zeros are required according to OSA style.
Table 4: A ``late table.'' This table was added after most of the
paper had been completed. Since the tables are
automatically numbered, no renumbering in text was necessary. This
table was added to show the use of the d specifier for lining
things up. This time I am going to use the tablenotemark command in the
body of the table and the tablenotetext command at the end. This
permits multiple citations of the same reference.
