To create a works cited page using websites and textbooks, you can follow the guidelines provided by the Modern Language Association (MLA) or the American Psychological Association (APA). Here’s a step-by-step guide for both citation styles:

MLA Style: 1. Start a new page at the end of your document and title it “Works Cited.” 2. List your sources in alphabetical order by the author’s last name (or title if no author is given). 3. For websites, include the following information: - Author’s Last Name, First Name. “Title of Web Page.” Title of Website, Publisher or Sponsor of the Site, Date of Publication or Last Update, URL. - If there is no author, start with the title of the web page. 4. For textbooks, include the following information: - Author’s Last Name, First Name. Title of Book. Publisher, Year of Publication. 5. Use hanging indentation for each entry, where the first line is flush left and subsequent lines are indented. 6. Double-space the entire page.

In-text citations for websites: - If you mention the author’s name in the sentence, include only the page number in parentheses at the end of the sentence. - If you don’t mention the author’s name in the sentence, include the author’s last name and the page number in parentheses at the end of the sentence.

In-text citations for textbooks: - Include the author’s last name and the page number in parentheses at the end of the sentence.

APA Style: 1. Start a new page at the end of your document and title it “References.” 2. List your sources in alphabetical order by the author’s last name. 3. For websites, include the following information: - Author’s Last Name, First Initial. (Year). Title of Web Page. Site Name. URL. - If there is no author, start with the title of the web page. 4. For textbooks, include the following information: - Author’s Last Name, First Initial. (Year). Title of Book. Publisher. 5. Use hanging indentation for each entry, where the first line is flush left and subsequent lines are indented. 6. Double-space the entire page.

In-text citations for websites: - Include the author’s last name and the publication year in parentheses at the end of the sentence. - If there is no author, use the first few words of the title and the publication year.

In-text citations for textbooks: - Include the author’s last name and the publication year in parentheses at the end of the sentence.

Remember to consult the specific guidelines provided by your instructor or institution, as citation styles may vary.

Now I want to create 3 different versions of this. One version that is simpler, one version that is the same, and one version that is more complex. Format the output in 3 nice sections.
