2476+If you want to include items in the bibliography without actually
2477+citing them in the body text, you can define a dummy `nocite` metadata
2478+field and put the citations there:
2479+
2480+ ---
2481+ nocite:
2482+ | @item1, @item2
2483+ ...
2484+
2485+ @item3
2486+
2487+In this example, the document will contain a citation for `item3`
2488+only, but the bibliography will contain entries for `item1`, `item2`, and
2489+`item3`.
