  1. Hey; ich habe mal ne #texlatex Frage:

    ich möchte eine Webseite zitieren und nutze dafür #biblatex und den Eintrag
    ```
    @misc{wp,
    title = {Wikipedia},
    url = {de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo},
    urldate = {2025-01-01T13:37:42},
    author = {Franz, Ferdinand},
    year = {2026},
    note = {Notiz}
    }
    ```

    Ich habe als urldate auch die Zeit mit angegeben. Es wird mir aber im Literaturverzeichnis nur "Abgerufen am 1.1.2025" ausgegeben.
    Wie kann ich die Felder urlhour und urlminute noch mit in die Ausgabe des Verzeichnises aufnehmen?

    Muss ich dafür meinen kompletten Stil neu definieren?

  2. Another milestone reached!
    We crossed the 4500 stargazers on #github

    And we are close to another milestone, the 6.0-beta. We worked hard and worked on improvements and bug fixes across JabRef. For example, we revamped the entry editor to make it easier to add/remove fields.

    Curious? Try out the latest dev version and see for yourself!

  3. Bibliography interoperability is mostly a mirage.
    There is no shared canonical model for bibliographic data: BibTeX, CSL-JSON, CFF, RIS, and others encode overlapping but incompatible views of the same reality.
    Every converter is just a heuristic translator. We’ve optimized tools, not the model itself. Every ecosystem re-implements the same edge cases, calls it innovation, and ships the same mistakes again.

  4. 🌞 JabRef 6.0 Alpha 6 released! 🌞

    We are thrilled to announce a new alpha version! The version is formally an alpha but stable enough for usage.

    Highlights:

    - Revamped notifications and pop-up
    - Improved generation and handling of inserted citations in LibreOffice
    - Improved inspections for #biblatex and #bibtex

  5. 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.

    github.com/citum/citum-core/co

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

    docs.citum.org/examples.html#c

    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.

    github.com/citation-style-lang

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

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

  8. 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!

  9. Beginning to lose my mind again about 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: 😅

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

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

    #DigitalHumanities #DH #FieldSurveys

    @NFDI4Memory @nfdi4objects @nfdi4culture @Textplus

  13. @ThierryStoehr @zotero @swheritage Thanks! #jabRef supports biblatex software and both importing and exporting cff format as well.
    #biblatex

  14. @roteiro JabRef Als Referenzmanager und damit guten Support für #bibtex und #biblatex ... ;)

  15. Huh, I must've missed the announcement.

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

    Very cool!

  16. Updating to remain the same. (I tried downgrading to remain the same, too.)

    #Zotero #BibLaTex

  17. [4 years and a half] This November 26th, 2024 means 4,5 year old release by @swheritage of "biblatex-software package, that adds support for properly managing software entries in bibliographies for #BibLaTeX users".
    Happy 54 month anniversary for making good software and code source quotations
    #bibliography
    Article, "Citing software with style", 2020-05-26, softwareheritage.org/2020/05/2
    (and source code, like BibLaTeX references, is text #format)

  18. [Et 4 ans et demi !] Ce 26 novembre 2024 marque les 4,5 ans (déjà !) depuis la publication par @swheritage de l'extension de #BibLaTeX pour citer les références d'un logiciel (comme tout autre document : livre, article, film,...).
    Y compris, et notamment, pour citer le code source dudit logiciel (au #format texte).
    Donc : joyeux 54 mois (autre #format de décompte) :-)... et bonnes citations ! #bibliographie
    softwareheritage.org/2020/05/2

  19. 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.

  20. 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. También repaso brevemente el origen de la "guerra de software de oficina" y sus consecuencias en la compatibilidad entre formatos de archivos de texto avanzado. #word #writer #microsoft #libreoffice #odt #docx #odb #biblatex

  22. Merci @jabref pour la précision. Et @dbenoist très content que cela puisse aider.
    Je me permets de préciser que le diable peut se cacher dans les détails : #JabRef prend en charge, #zotero aussi. Mais les champs souhaités pour décrire un jeu video sont-ils ceux de #BibLaTeX @swheritage ? On peut avec JabRef &Zotero définir ses champs +définir aussi le style voulu pour la référence. Enfin, d'après doc de JabRef &Zotero, une base données SQL est utilisable. BibLaTeX est Tbien, mais #format à voir.

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

    sites.google.com/site/dragonbr

    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.

    #Tolkien #TolkienStudies #tolkiendil

  24. On parle beaucoup d'Org-mode et de sa capacité, du point de vue de la configuration lettrée, d'exporter des programmes informatiques sous formes de documents PDF à la typographie soignée. Org-mode est effectivement la syntaxe de markup local et polymorphe la plus connue, au sens où comme Markdown, elle peut exporter des documents dans une grande variété de formats, mais où contrairement à elle elle n'est pas littéralement conçue pour empêcher ses utilisataires de configurer la sortie, soit dans le cadre d'un site web collaboratif conçu pour des utilisataires en lesquelles on ne ferait par défaut pas confiance, ce qui a quelques cas d'usage légitimes comme Diaspora*, soit on s'en servirait comme de la syntaxe de markup de facto pour des générateurs de sites web statiques configurés en Toml ou en Yaml. La vocation de la syntaxe #OrgMode à collaborer avec d'autres fichiers locaux, comme avec une base de données #BibLaTeX, apporte des fonctionnalités non-implémentées pour le web : au doigt mouillé, on pourrait combiner un système d'#OpenID à une API #Zotero (qui resterait à ma connaissance à développer) pour permettre à tout·e utilisataire d'embarquer sa biblio à ellui sur l'ensemble du web, sans configuration supplémentaire ; mais le vécu des utilisataires d'Org-mode est un sentiment de libération logicielle, de vitalité ; Org-mode m'a largement préservée d'une forme aigüe de dépression l'année dernière.

  25. CW: mentions the pandemic

    @borisveytsman extended @docum3nt's bookshelf class for multilingual support and is now presenting the results and feature ideas. #TUG2024

    It's a pandemic project which allows you to create a colorful virtual bookshelf out of a #BibTeX database to be used with #biblatex The intention was to be able to use it as background for video calls, but you can also just use it to finally have a shelf for your ebooks. #TeXLaTeX

    Bookshelf on CTAN:
    ctan.org/pkg/bookshelf

  26. Anyone know a stable #biblatex citation style for history? I keep on running into difficult bugs with the geschichtsfrkl style I'm using at the moment.

  27. CW: Gestion élégante d'une base d'entrées bibliographiques annotée avec Emacs et Org-mode

    Oh purée, ce billet traînait sur mon ordi depuis quelques heures et je viens de le comprendre : cachestocaches.com/2020/3/org-mode-annotated-bibliography/

  29. Any Bib(La)TeX/biber users have a preferred way to include author identifiers like ORCID or ISNI in your .bib file? Ideally supported by a citation style that will include the identifiers and/or hyperlink the authors.

    #tex #bibtex #biber #biblatex

  30. Ho Ho Ho! We are preparing a Holiday release! Even if it's just 2 months since the last release, there have already been a couple of bug fixes and improvements.

    You can find more info in our changelog for the upcoming changes
    github.com/JabRef/jabref/blob/

    #JabRef #bibTex #TexLaTeX #Biblatex #academia #opensource

  31. Wow, it seems to be impossible to have #bibLaTeX handle multiple semicolon-separated urls in the url= field. It just interprets the entire url= content as one url and happily makes a (broken) link out of it. 🙄

    #KBibTeX joins multiple urls like this.

    #StackOverflow solution doesn't do anything: tex.stackexchange.com/a/57993
    #chatGPT couldn't help: chat.openai.com/share/e3d1819b

    Couldn't find anything else... #TexLaTeX is powerful but oh so complicated... 😮‍💨

  32. [Anniversary] All the Libraries and all the Computer Science organisations celebrate on Friday 2023-05-26 the 3rd anniversary of software as official part of knowledge thanks to official dedicated entry in #bibliography!
    The software, its version or its source code can be quoted with specific bibliographical style.
    Those improvements in the #BibLaTeX #format were done by Software Heritage.
    The official article (2020-05-26): softwareheritage.org/2020/05/2
    Happy software referencing and quoting!

  33. [Annonce d'anniversaire] Vendredi 26 mai 2023 marquera les 3 ans de la publication de la nouvelle version de BibLaTeX, avec le logiciel comme entrée de #bibliographie ! softwareheritage.org/2020/05/2
    C'est Software Heritage qui a porté cette version.
    L'occasion de fêter le #format #BibLaTeX utilisé par énormément de logiciels de bibliographie (Zotero, JabRef) ou de création de documents (LaTeX, TeXmacs, LibreOffice).
    PS : contactez les bibliothèques ! :-)
    NB : annonce faites en formation LaTeX ce jour.

  34. @TeXhackse Good news. Successfully installed. Installation of #TeXLive 2023 pretest needed about 30 minutes on my old linux notebook. First test build of #scrlayer-fancyhdr was also successful. Test build of KOMA-Script is running.

    Unfortunately there is still no biber.aarch64-linux, so I still cannot switch from #babelbib to #biblatex (using biber), because the build machine for my TeX Live repository is a Raspberry Pi4. 😢

  35. One can document the access date of a referenced URL with the `urldate` key in #BibLaTeX or the `accessed` field in #CSLJSON. E.g. in BibLaTeX:

    @online{pandoc,
    title = {Pandoc manual},
    url = {pandoc.org/MANUAL},
    date = {2022},
    urldate = {2023-01-03}
    }

    Not all citation styles make use of this info, but "author-date" styles do. The #Zotero #CSL style database can be filtered for those; pick the one you want here: zotero.org/styles?format=autho

  36. Do you maintain one big #BibLaTeX database? Get the subset of just those entries required for an article with
    pandoc -L getbib.lua paper.md -t biblatex -o paper.bib
    where getbib.lua contains

    function Pandoc(d)
    d.meta.references = pandoc.utils.references(d)
    d.meta.bibliography = nil
    return d
    end

    #pandoc #LuaFilter #BibTeX #BibLaTeX

  37. Render references from a #BibLaTeX file as Word #docx:

    pandoc refs.bib --citeproc -o refs.docx

    #pandoc #bibtex #citeproc

  38. [3/24] Il existe de très nombreux paquetages #CTAN pour vos documents LaTeX.
    Et si vous en aviez la liste complète ?
    Et si cette liste était au #format BibLaTeX... pour pouvoir la manipuler et aussi citer des références précises ?
    Cela est disponible !
    C'est la page "ctan-bibdata – Bibliography data for all CTAN packages", à ctan.org/pkg/ctan-bibdata
    C'est avec l'entrée « manual », et avec une mise à jour quotidienne.
    Bonne utilisation du puissant #format texte #BibLaTeX de #bibliographie.
