Another new feature I've just added to #citum is compound citations that I guess are common in chemistry.

This is feature requested for CSL awhile back that we had no idea how to implement, and in retrospect would have been impossible given the dependence on processor behavior.

Looking for a clean solution, this is another case where I drew inspiration from #biblatex.

Compare BibTeX and BibLaTeX for LaTeX bibliography management, covering architecture, features, performance, and best practices for modern and legacy workflows.

Happy Holidays!

Here is a late present for you: We just released Version 6.0.alpha4.
This release contains a couple of UX improvements, a handful of new features, and the usual bug fixes.
A brand new feature is now the support for date groups based on any date field. Also supports year, timestamp fields, etc.

For more info, check out our blog post and the changelog!

For all the flak we give #ACM over many many things, the `acmart.cls` with its support for #biblatex/#natbib is truly a gift to researchers writing.

Parenthetical citations are not nouns! Textual citations, however, are!

The same can be said for #OASIcs enabling support for #natbib at least.

#LNCS on the other hand...I do not want to use a third party bst file... nor an unsupported biblatex model...

FYI: I put my #BibLaTeX #bibliography for my #cryptography #pqc #matrix #mls talks online

it's sorted by talk/topic and mostly compled from #ArXiv and google scholar

Beginning to lose my mind again about #TeXLaTeX #BibLaTeX #BibTeX #Zotero fuckery. 😩

Zotero puts the "Extra" field from the GUI into the `annotation` field. This is happily ignored by biblatex. The quest begins, how to convince biblatex to *please* display my note on this preprint somewhere. All my attempts involving AtEveryBibItem or DeclareSourceMap pretty much in vain. LaTeX is so incredibly brilliant, but simple stuff like this can really kill you. Feels like  #NixOS 😅

For some reason it is ridiculously hard to just ignore any first or given names with #BibLaTeX. Like any sane person, I'd like to only see surnames in the citations, authoryear style. BibLaTeX really doesn't want you to.

#TeXLaTeX

A question to the academic #HiveMind:

We are currently developing an extension to #ConfTool that will allow for the export of conference programmes as #BibTeX / #BibLaTeX . What would be your entry type of choice for otherwise unpublished conference presentations, posters etc.?

If you opt for “something else“, please provide your preference in a reply. Any comments are more than welcome.
