biblatex-archaeology in its environment Ⅶ: CiteDrive

CiteDrive is a collaborative online reference manager for BibTeΧ. Its strengthens are the possibility to pick up references from online sources like PubMed or Google Scholar via a Browser plugin (“CiteDrive Companion”) and the integration into several LaTeΧ editors like Overleaf or RStudio. It can produce cite commands for LaTeΧ and Pandoc as well. I must admit that I could...

biblatex-archaeology in its environment Ⅴ: TeX4ht for HTML or MS Word conversion

There have been a couple of projects that aim to convert LaTeΧ sources to HTML, XML or MS Word. Only two have gained a broader interest of the audience: LaTeΧML TeΧ4ht (htlatex).

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...

Since v2.2 was declared feature complete the objective of v2.3’s development is to enhance usability. JabRef is a very common reference manager in the LaTeΧ world. As of today the stable release...

biblatex-archaeology v2.2 released

Good news! Yesterday version 2.2 of my LaTeΧ package biblatex-archaeology was released, with which it comes close to feature completeness. There are no new features on my to-do list, only some minor improvements of existing features and better documentation. Unfortunately there was a huge delay in upgrading, and since the release of biblatex 3.14 biblatex-archaeology stopped working at all. I...
