There are also more than a few commercial products available that are
APA templates that include various types of code for automatically
generating APA-style reference entries, citations, and page and
paragraph formatting. Most are in the $25-$50 price range.
Since I'm a developer of one of those, I won't mention specifics, but
you can google for "APA Style software" and check them out. Most
companies offer free trial versions.
Could be a heck of a lot faster than trying to write your own.
