313 The jmlr class loads the xcolor package, so you can
314 also define your own colors. For example: XYZ.
315 The xcolor class is loaded with the x11names op-
316 tion, so you can use any of the x11 predefined colors
317 (listed in the xcolor documentation7 ).

318 10. Citations and Bibliography

319 The jmlr class automatically loads natbib and auto-
320 matically sets the bibliography style, so you don’t
321 need to use \bibliographystyle. This sample file
322 has the citations defined in the accompanying Bib-
323 TeX file jmlr-sample.bib. For a parenthetical cita-
324 tion use \citep. For example (Guyon and Elisseeff,
325 2003). For a textual citation use \citet. For exam-
326 ple Guyon et al. (2007). Both commands may take a
327 comma-separated list, for example Guyon and Elis-
328 seeff (2003); Guyon et al. (2007).
329 These commands have optional arguments and
330 have a starred version. See the natbib documenta-
331 tion for further details.8
