Just ported 5 of the #biblatex compound numeric styles. I've not tested them myself, and I'm pretty far from a #chemist.

Would be cool if people who actually use these sorts of styles could test and report.

https://github.com/citum/citum-core/commit/93c4d5e684948c610f847a68b38e2c9faae8094c

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

https://docs.citum.org/examples.html#compound-numeric-sets

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!

Did you know the #SILE #digitalTypesetting system supports a fairly decent subset of #BibTeX / #BibLaTeX and Citation Style Language for bibliographies? True, it's a work in progress, but with some fixes just proposed upstream, it gets better at the task.

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 What would be your entry type of choice for otherwise unpublished conference presentations, posters etc.?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.

Huh, I must've missed the announcement.

@swheritage is now providing citation metadata to download as #BibTeX and use via #BibLaTeX (biblatex-software) for archived software with a CITATION.cff file or codemeta.json in the root directory! 🎉

Very cool!

#CitationFileFormat #SoftwareHeritage #ResearchSoftware #SoftwareCitation

It was so hard to get it right that I am gonna BACKUP this bloody style.

Still: believe it or not, it's simpler to get the bibliography “right” with biblatex...

Please someone give me a converter for #biblatex to #CSL.

Hace años, abandoné Microsoft Word y me pasé a LibreOffice Writer. Aquí, reflexiono sobre mi experiencia de migración y cómo superé los obstáculos que surgieron.

"Le Dragon de Brume" is glad to announce the Summer 2024 edition of its PDF booklet "A bibliography of Tolkien studies in French & English".

https://sites.google.com/site/dragonbrumeux/bibliography

As for our previous volumes, all source files are available in #djot and (a subset of) #biblatex – using the (currently in-development) bibliography and citation modules for the #sile typesetting system.

I'm thinking of giving a survey of a few useful apps I use for writing (Humanities) and note-taking, as I am often suprised that students or colleagues do not know them; or at least some of them. I might do it here or on my blog, but will gladly write a few threads if anyone is interested. Tentative list: #Mellel #Nisus #IAWriter #Zotero #Bookends #BibLaTeX #Devonthink #LyX #Scrivener
