biblatex-archaeology in its environment Ⅳ: Pandoc

Pandoc is a command line tool for converting from one markup to another. It uses a largely enhanced markdown syntax as intermediate format. This allows for adding input and output filters for only one format instead of writing them for every possible conversion anew. In case you don’t know what markdown is: It was invented for writing HTML quickly by...

biblatex-archaeology in its environment Ⅲ: LyΧ

LyΧ is an editor for LaTeΧ that resembles WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors like Microsoft Word or LibreOffice. This is achieved by employing HTML for screen output and LaTeΧ for printable formats. Thus the applicable LaTeΧ commands are limited to those for which a HTML complement is available.

biblatex-archaeology in its environment Ⅱ: Zotero and Citavi

I assume that most German archaeologists employ Zotero or Citavi to collect their references. Both are web-based reference managers today, and both are capable to export BibTeΧ files. The main issue is that their database structure is not as in high resolution as BibTeΧ and especially bibLaTeΧ are. Zotero In order to export refrences from Zotero to biblatex-archaeology you should...

Sort orders of Latin-script languages in biblatex-Biber
