Introduction
The Shadowrun Reference Standard (SRS) defines a system for referencing Shadowrun
products. The idea is to provide a method for web authors and internet posters
to cite references to Shadowrun books in web sites, net.books, posts and even
databases and other software in a way that is:
- Unobtrusive. References should be as short as possible so they do not
distract from the main text and take as little screen space as possible.
- Unified. Everyone using the system should use the same system, eliminating
confusion.
- Flexible. References should be able to specify a page in a book, but also
have the ability to site exact paragraphs and page ranges.
While this sounds a bit anal, the SRS was born from a need to fit page
references into tables with very narrow columns. It suits this purpose very
well, compressing a lot of information into a small space.
It should be mentioned that this system is not endorsed by FASA in any way.
System
Each Shadowrun product is given a two- to four-letter code. This code is used to
indicate the book being referenced. This code is followed by a ".", then by
a page number or a page range. If a single page is specified, it can also be
followed with a comma and a column number. This can optionally be followed by
another column and a paragraph number. The resulting syntax is as follows:
<code>.<page>[-<end page> | ,<column>[,paragraph] ]
This is easier to understand by looking at a view examples:
| Code | Meaning |
| azt.125 |
Aztlan Sourcebook, page 125. |
| azt.125-127 |
Aztlan Sourcebook, pages 125 through 127. |
| azt.125,2 |
Aztlan Sourcebook, page 125, column 2. |
| azt.125,2,3 |
Aztlan Sourcebook, page 125, column 2, paragraph 3. |
Note that when a paragraph is specified, only full paragraphs are counted.
If a column begins in the middle of a paragraph, the first paragraph is
considered to be the paragraph following. Page and column references for
paragraphs should always be given where the paragraph starts. Headings are not
counted as paragraphs.
