History template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the History format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the History template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does History use?
History uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." History 12 (3): 45–58.

No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready History document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
