BibLaTeX – Sophisticated Bibliographies in LaTeX
BibLaTeX is a complete reimplementation of the bibliographic
facilities provided by LaTeX.
Formatting of the bibliography is entirely controlled by
LaTeX macros, and a working knowledge of LaTeX should be
sufficient to design new bibliography and citation styles.
BibLaTeX uses its own data backend program called
“biber”
to read and process the bibliographic data.
With biber,
BibLaTeX has many features rivalling or surpassing
other bibliography systems. To mention a few:
-
Full Unicode support
-
Highly customisable sorting using the
Unicode Collation Algorithm + CLDR tailoring
-
Highly customisable bibliography labels
-
Complex macro-based on-the-fly data modification
without changing your data sources
-
A tool mode for transforming bibliographic data sources
-
Multiple bibliographies and lists of bibliographic information
in the same document with different sorting
-
Highly customisable data source inheritance rules
-
Polyglossia and babel suppport for automatic language
switching for bibliographic entries and citations
-
Automatic bibliography data recoding
(UTF-8 -> latin1, LaTeX macros -> UTF-8 etc)
-
Remote data sources
-
Highly sophisticated automatic name and name list
disambiguation system
-
Highly customisable data model so users can define
their own bibliographic data types
-
Validation of bibliographic data against a data model
-
Subdivided and/or filtered bibligraphies,
bibliographies per chapter, section etc.
Apart from the features unique to BibLaTeX,
the package also incorporates core features
of the following packages:
babelbib,
bibtopic,
bibunits,
chapterbib,
cite,
inlinebib,
mcite and
mciteplus,
mlbib,
multibib,
splitbib.
The package strictly requires
Biber,
babel /
polyglossia, and
csquotes 4.4 or later
are strongly recommended.
