+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 4.0
+ - This is a major update with support for multiscript entryfields
+ - **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** Default name list and plain list formats declared
+ with \DeclareNameFormat and \DeclareListFormat respectively have been
+ modified to support per-item language switching via the macros:
+
+ name:langswitchon/name:langswitchoff
+ list:langswitchon/list:langswitchoff
+
+ If you use or provide custom name/list formats, you may want to look at
+ the format definitions in biblatex.def to see where to place these in
+ your custom formats in order to provide multiscript support for
+ per-item automatic language switching. Nothing will break if you don't
+ do this but there may be a loss of some aspects of multiscript
+ functionality. In general, you should place the "on" macros *after*
+ name:delim/list:delim and the "off" macros at the end of the format.
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** Data annotation test macros \if*annotation,
+ \has*annotation and \get*annotation now have multiscript form and
+ language as optional arguments in position 1 and 2, therefore, if you
+ are using these macros with any optional arguments, be sure to supply
+ the first two arguments (as "[][]"). For example:
+
+ \getitemannotation[somefield] -> \getitemannotation[][][somefield]
+ \ifpartannotation[][someannotationname][2]{family}{someval} ->
+ \ifpartannotation[][][][someannotationname][2]{family}{someval}
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** Namelist-specific hashes of the form
+ <namelist>namehash, <namelist>bibnamehash or <namelist>fullhash now must
+ contain a multiscript form and language in order to differentiate
+ between multiscript name alternates. The format is now
+ <namelist><msform><mslang>namehash,
+ <namelist><msform><mslang>bibnamehash or
+ <namelist><msform><mslang>fullhash and biber 4.0+ always generates specific
+ name hashes in this format.
+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.18b
+- Reenable `\MakeUppercase`/`\MakeLowercase` "patches" for `\bibstring`
+ based on `\CaseSwitch`.
+
+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.18a
+- Disable `\MakeUppercase`/`\MakeLowercase` patches as emergency fix
+ for LaTeX 2022-06-01-PL4 compatibility.
+
+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.18
+- New sorting name key generation macro `\visibility` which allows
+ application of sorting name key generation to apply only to sorting
+ within citati
+ ons.
+- New sorting macro `\intciteorder` which allows sorting by order internal
+ to a cite command like \cite{a,b,c}.
+- New option `pluralothers` to force "et al." to be plural (i.e. only
+ replace two or more names). This is required for some styles (e.g. APA)
+- Added `\localrefcontext` as a local alternative
+ to the global `\newrefcontext`.
+ `\localrefcontext` can be nested and is only active in the current group.
+
+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.17
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE**
+ The behaviour of index-less granular xdata references to list fields has
+ changed. Before, a reference to an XDATA list field would select the
+ first element in the XDATA field list if no index was given but now this
+ will splice in all elements of the XDATA list field. To ensure the
+ previous behaviour, simply add "-1" (assuming the default value of "-"
+ for the biber 'xdatasep' option) to the end of all granaular list
+ XDATA references.
+- Added helper macros to enable calculations with non-ASCII numerals.
+ This is necessary to properly support languages like Marathi.
+ At the moment the 'translation' is very basic and uses a one-to-one
+ correspondence of US-ASCII (Arabic) digits and non-ASCII digits.
+ The translation also needs additional post-processing steps.
+ Use `\blx at defcomputableequivalent{<numeral digit>}{<ASCII digit>}` to
+ make `<numeral digit>` an equivalent of `<ASCII digit>`
+ (presumably this command will be used in `.lbx` files if the language
+ requires it).
+ `\hascomputableequivalent{<string>}` can be used to check if `<string>`
+ is a number that can be converted to a number with ASCII digits.
+ `\getcomputableequivalent{<string>}{<macro>}` does the conversion
+ and saves the number in `<macro>`.
+ There is `\ifiscomputable{<string>}` to check if a `<string>`
+ is an ASCII number OR has a computable equivalent.
+ There are analogous macros for fields instead of strings.
+- Added `\textouterlang` to select the last active language that
+ was not selected by `biblatex` itself.
+ This may help in multilingual setups where `biblatex` also changes the
+ language quite heavily.
+- Added `\DeclareBibstringSet`, `\DeclareBibstringSetFormat` etc.
+ to allow injecting additional formatting for a set of bibstrings.
+ Sets can be defined arbitrarily. These commands are primarily
+ intended for use in localisation modules.
+- Changed the definition of `\bibnamedelimi` to `\isdot\addnbspace`.
+ Previously the definition was just `\addnbspace`, which meant the `.`
+ would be treated as a period/full stop.
+- **BREAKING CHANGE**
+ `\DeclareDelimFormat` no longer accepts a list of names as argument.
+ It only accepts a single delimiter name.
+ A list of contexts is still supported.
+ Note that previously the optional argument would not work correctly
+ with a list of names.
+- **CRITICAL CHANGE**
+ `biblatex` no longer writes tracking and refsection initialisation code
+ to aux files.
+ Instead the `\...cite` commands are redefined locally to do that on demand.
+ This should keep the auxiliary files much cleaner of `biblatex`
+ intervention.
+- **CRITICAL CHANGE**
+ Generalised `season` date part to `yeardivision`. It can now also
+ hold quarter, quadrimester, semestral or seasons with hemisphere
+ designation.
+ Helper macros have been renamed accordingly. Limited backwards
+ compatibility is in place.
+- **(Possibly) CRITICAL CHANGE**
+ `\notecite` and friends no longer issue an explicit `\nocite`.
+ Since the commands are defined with `\DeclareCiteCommand`, they
+ already issue a normal cite request.
+ The additional `\nocite` from the loop code was superfluous
+ and would result in slightly instable `.bcf` files.
+
+
+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.16
+- Fixed an infinite loop caused by excessive aliasing of the `volcitepages`
+ format.
+ Reverted the alias `\DeclareFieldAlias{volcitepages}{postnote}`
+ and again define
+ ```
+ \DeclareFieldFormat{volcitepages}{\mkpageprefix[pagination][\mknormrange]{#1}}
+ ```
+ explicitly.
+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.15b
+- Fixed `.lbx` file loading behaviour. All `.lbx` files are now loaded
+ `\AtBeginDocument`. Languages that were not requested explicitly by packages
+ are recorded in the `.aux` file and loaded on the next run.
+ This may require a further LaTeX run in some situations, but now we can be
+ sure when `.lbx` files are read.
+- Added `label` option to `\printbibliography`.
+- Added more name wrapper aliases to make name aliasing smoother.
+- Deprecate `\mainlang` switch in favour of the text macro `\textmainlang`.
+- Deprecate `\mkrelatedstring` (which is defined as `\mainlang`)
+ in favour of `\mkrelatestringtext` (defined as `\textmainlang`).
+
+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.15a
+- Fixed bug with long argument for `\DeclareFieldFormat` and friends.
+
+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.15
+- Fixed a long-standing issue with `\intitlepunct`.
+ The old definition
+ ```
+ \newbibmacro*{in:}{%
+ \printtext{%
+ \bibstring{in}\intitlepunct}}
+ ```
+ would print `\intitlepunct` directly and not via the punctuation
+ buffer. Since the `\add...` punctuation macros guard against
+ undesired double punctuation, this would usually not show as an
+ issue (except in edge cases https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/175730/,
+ https://github.com/plk/biblatex/issues/943).
+ The new definition uses the punctuation tracker to print
+ `\intitlepunct`.
+ ```
+ \newbibmacro*{in:}{%
+ \bibstring{in}%
+ \printunit{\intitlepunct}}
+ ```
+ `\printunit` is needed instead of `\setunit` to stop subsequent
+ `\setunit`s from overriding `\intitlepunct` in case of missing
+ fields.
+- Define `volcitepages` and `multipostnote` as a field alias of `postnote`
+ and `multiprenote` as an alias of `prenote`.
+ That should make it easier to change all post- and prenote formats at once.
+ A change to `postnote` will automatically apply to `multipostnote`
+ and `volcitepages` as well. Similarly for `multiprenote`.
+ In case that is not desired, the original definitions can be restored with
+ ```
+ \DeclareFieldFormat{volcitepages}{\mkpageprefix[pagination][\mknormrange]{#1}}
+ \DeclareFieldFormat{multiprenote}{#1\isdot}
+ \DeclareFieldFormat{multipostnote}{\mkpageprefix[pagination][\mknormrange]{#1}}
+ ```
+
+ **NB** The definition of `volcitepages` caused an infinite loop and was
+ reverted in v3.15b.
+ This means that only `multiprenote` and `multipostnote` are aliased.
+- Unified DOI, eprint and URL printing across all entry types.
+ The fields `doi`, `eprint`, `eprintclass`, `eprinttype` and `url`
+ are now valid for all entry types.
+ `@online` and `@unpublished` now also use the bibmacro
+ `doi+eprint+url`.
+ This means `@online` now responds to the `url` option.
+ That does not mean, however, that a global `url=false,`
+ suppresses URLs for `@online` entries, since `url=true,`
+ is set on a per-type level to ensure backwards compatibility
+ as far as possible.
+ In case eprint information should be suppressed for `@online`
+ and `@unpublished`, add
+ ```
+ \ExecuteBibliographyOptions[online,unpublished]{eprint=false}
+ ```
+- Added `eid` to more entry types.
+ To avoid issues with backwards compatibility of widely used bibmacros,
+ the bibmacro `chapter+pages` was redefined from
+ ```
+ \newbibmacro*{chapter+pages}{%
+ \printfield{chapter}%
+ \setunit{\bibpagespunct}%
+ \printfield{pages}%
+ \newunit}
+ ```
+ to
+ ```
+ \newbibmacro*{chapter+pages}{%
+ \printfield{chapter}%
+ \setunit{\bibeidpunct}%
+ \printfield{eid}%
+ \setunit{\bibpagespunct}%
+ \printfield{pages}%
+ \newunit}
+ ```
+- Added `\bibeidpunct` in analogy to `\bibpagespunct`.
+- Added `issuetitleaddon` and `journaltitleaddon` fields.
+- Added options `backreffloats` and `trackfloats` to enable/disable
+ citation tracking and back references in floats.
+ Note that citation tracking in floats can lead to undesirable
+ results in case the float objects floats too far from its "natural"
+ position.
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** `numeric-comp` compresses subentry set
+ references now.
+ This behaviour can be disabled with `subentrycomp=false`.
+- Added `subentrycomp` option to `numeric-comp` citation style.
+ The option is only relevant with `subentry=true`.
+ With `subentrycomp=true` set citations will be compressed
+ to "1a-c" instead of "1a; 1b; 1c".
+ The option is mainly intended for backwards compatibility;
+ the behaviour of previous `biblatex` versions can be restored
+ with `subentrycomp=false`.
+- Added `\multiciterangedelim`, `\multicitesubentrydelim`,
+ `\multicitesubentryrangedelim`, `\superciterangedelim`,
+ `\supercitesubentrydelim`, and `\supercitesubentryrangedelim` for
+ finer control over (compressed) subentry citations in `numeric-comp`.
+- **CRITICAL CHANGE**
+ The structure of the bibmacros in `numeric-comp`
+ has been reworked to make it easier to customise the printed output.
+ Documents that relied on patching internal bibmacros or heavily
+ redefined them may have to adapt.
+- **CRITICAL CHANGE**
+ Implemented better `@set` support for BibTeX, `@set`s should now
+ sort properly.
+ This is achieved with a two-pass structure and (hidden) copies of
+ the set entries.
+ The two-pass structure means that the compilation sequence becomes
+ LaTeX, BibTeX, LaTeX, BibTeX, LaTeX, LaTeX.
+- **CRITICAL CHANGE**
+ The case change functions now make use of the `expl3` module `l3text`
+ if the available `expl3` version is recent enough.
+ If `expl3` is too old the old LaTeX2e implementation is used.
+ If desired the implementation of the case changing functions
+ can be selected at load-time with the `casechanger` option, which
+ accepts the values `expl3`, `latex2e` and `auto` (which selects
+ `expl3` if the `expl3` version not older than 2020-04-06, this
+ is the default).
+
+ The `expl3` implementation of the case changer is slightly more
+ robust than the home-grown `latex2e` code.
+- The option `bibtexcaseprotection` can be used to turn off the
+ case protection via curly braces. This allows for a saner approach
+ to case protection where text is protected solely via a macro
+ like `\NoCaseChange`, e.g.
+ ```
+ title = {The Story of \NoCaseChange{HMS \emph{Erebus}}
+ in \emph{Really} Strong Wind},
+ ```
+ instead of
+ ```
+ title = {The Story of {HMS} \emph{Erebus}
+ in {\emph{Really}} Strong Wind},
+ ```
+- Added `\mautocite` and `\Mautocite`.
+- Added `\NumsCheckSetup` and `\PagesCheckSetup` for finer control
+ of the `\ifnumerals` and `\ifpages` checks.
+- Deprecate the starred `\DeclareDelimAlias*` in favour of
+ `\DeclareDelimAlias` with optional arguments.
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE**
+ `biblatex` no longer falls back to English for unknown languages.
+ Warnings will be triggered if undefined language strings or extras
+ are used.
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE**
+ Bibliography strings and bibliography extras can now be written
+ either to `\captions<language>` or to `\extras<language>`
+ (this is controlled with the `langhook` option).
+ Previously, they were written to `\extras<language>`, but upon
+ reflection `\captions<language>` appears to be a more sensible
+ place for these definitions.
+ The new default is to write to `\captions<language>`
+ (i.e. `langhook=captions`).
+ The previous behaviour can be restored with `langhook=extras`.
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** Moved `\delimcontext{bib}` to `\AtUsedriver`,
+ this makes it easier to override the delimiter context in `\usedriver`
+ calls. `\AtUsedriver*` calls may have to be amended to include
+ `\delimcontext{bib}`. The new default is
+ ```
+ \AtUsedriver{%
+ \delimcontext{bib}%
+ \let\finentry\blx at finentry@usedrv
+ \let\newblock\relax
+ \let\abx at macro@bibindex\@empty
+ \let\abx at macro@pageref\@empty}
+ ```
+ Note that this definition is backwards compatible
+ and can be used in older versions as well (down to v3.4 2016-05-10).
+- `biblatex` now tests if a requested backend (re)run happened by
+ comparing the MD5 hashes of the new and old `.bbl` files.
+- Added file hooks `\blx at filehook@preload@<filename>`,
+ `\blx at filehook@postload@<filename>`
+ and `\blx at filehook@failure@<filename>`
+ to execute hooks before or after a file is loaded
+ or if the loading fails.
+ `\blx at lbxfilehook@simple at preload@<filename>`,
+ `\blx at lbxfilehook@simple at postload@<filename>`
+ and `\blx at lbxfilehook@simple at failure@<filename>`
+ as well as
+ `\blx at lbxfilehook@once at preload@<filename>`,
+ `\blx at lbxfilehook@once at postload@<filename>`
+ and `\blx at lbxfilehook@once at failure@<filename>`
+ are the equivalents for `.lbx` loading, where
+ files may be loaded several times in some situations.
+- Added limited support for 'nodate' with BibTeX.
+- Improved `babel` and `polyglossia` interfacing (avoids more or less
+ unsupported patches).
+ This should work with `babel` at least v3.9r (2016/04/23)
+ and polyglossia `polyglossia` v1.49 (2020/04/08) or later.
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** Removed list and name index wrappers
+ (`\DeclareIndexNameWrapperFormat`, `\DeclareIndexListWrapperFormat`
+ and friends). Those wrappers make no sense, since the indexed
+ names are not printed 'together' in any useful sense of the word
+ and were never working anyway.
+- **CRITICAL CHANGE** Generalised some keyval macros.
+ `biblatex`-related uses of `\define at key` should ideally replaced with
+ `\blx at kv@defkey`.
+ Style authors are advised not to rely too much on the internal
+ implementation of certain keyval interfaces.
+ Users who want to experiment with using a different underlying
+ keyval parser need only provide replacements of the `\blx at kv@...`
+ macros (which are defined via `\provide...` so that they will
+ not overwrite existing definitions; in particular users can define
+ those replacements before loading `biblatex`).
+- Deprecate `\ifkomabibtotoc` and `\ifkomabibtotocnumbered`.
+ With newer versions of KOMA-Script these tests are no longer used
+ and their implementation was always a bit shifty (they would only pick
+ up globally set options).
+
+
+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.14
+- biber from version 2.14 has extended, granular XDATA functionality to
+ allow referencing from and to parts of fields. This makes XDATA entries into
+ more general data sharing containers.
+- Biber applies Perl's Unicode case folding to normalise the
+ capitalisation of field names and entry types when reading from the
+ `.bib` file. The output in the `.bbl` (what comes out on the
+ `biblatex` side uses the capitalisation from the data model; the only
+ exception are unknown entry types which are passed on *exactly*
+ as they are given in the `.bib` file - of course it is strongly
+ recommended to define all entry types one intends to use in the
+ data model).
+- `biblatex` now interfaces with `polyglossia` much better and can deal
+ with language variants.
+ Note that `polyglossia` v1.45 (2019/10/27) is required for this
+ to work properly, it is strongly recommended to update `polyglossia`
+ to this or a later (current) version.
+
+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.13
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** Any custom per-entry options in datasources must
+ be defined with `\DeclareEntryOption` in order for biber to recognise
+ them and pass them out in the `.bbl`.
+ This should not adversely affect any code using the documented
+ `\Decalare...Option` interface, so should be uncritical for most users.
+- Added `\DeclareBiblatexOption` as a convenient interface to declare the same
+ option in different scopes. This should help avoid code duplication.
+ For example
+ ```
+ \DeclareBibliographyOption[boolean]{noroman}[true]{%
+ \settoggle{blx at noroman}{#1}}
+ \DeclareTypeOption[boolean]{noroman}[true]{%
+ \settoggle{blx at noroman}{#1}}
+ \DeclareEntryOption[boolean]{noroman}[true]{%
+ \settoggle{blx at noroman}{#1}}
+ ```
+ can be replaced with
+ ```
+ \DeclareBiblatexOption{global,type,entry}[boolean]{noroman}[true]{%
+ \settoggle{blx at noroman}{#1}}
+ ```
+- Following the introduction of `\DeclareBiblatexOption` extend the scope
+ of a few options (`abbreviate`, `citetracker`, `clearlang`, `dataonly`,
+ `dateabbrev`, `<namepart>inits`, `ibidtracker`, `idemtracker`, `labelalpha`,
+ `labelnumber`, `labeltitle`, `labeltitleyear`, `labeldateparts`,
+ `loccittracker`, `opcittracker`, `singletitle`, `skipbib`, `skipbiblist`,
+ `skipbiblab` `terseinits`, `uniquelist`, `uniquename`, `uniquetitle`,
+ `uniquebaretitle`, `uniquework`, `uniqueprimaryauthor`).
+- Furthermore, the standard style options `doi`, `eprint`, `isbn`, `url`,
+ `related` are now available also on a per-type and per-entry level.
+ The same holds for `mergedate`, `subentry` and the options of `reading.bbx`.
+ This change has the potential to clash with custom styles that already define
+ the standard options at these scopes.
+- Promote `@software` to regular entry type and define `@dataset`.
+ `@software` is aliased to the `@misc` driver,
+ `@dataset` has a dedicated driver.
+- Add `\ifvolcite` test to check if the current citation is in a `\volcite`
+ context.
+- Add the special fields `volcitevolume` and `volcitepages` for finer control
+ over the `\volcite` postnote.
+- Add `\AtVolcite` hook to initialise `\volcite` commands.
+- Add `\mkbibcompletename` as well as `\mkbibcompletename<formatorder>`
+ to format complete names.
+ The commands are analogous to `\mkbibname<namepart>` but apply to
+ the entire name printed in format order `<formatorder>`.
+ By default the predefined macros all expand to `\mkbibcompletename`.
+- Add `multiprenotedelim` and `multipostnotedelim` and make all
+ `(pre|post)notedelim`-like commands context sensitive.
+- Add rudimentary support for `labelprefix` with BibTeX backend.
+ Biber implements `labelprefix` via `refcontext`s, but BibTeX does not
+ actually support `refcontext`s. The user interface is retained, but BibTeX's
+ "`refcontext`s" support only the emulation of `labelprefix` and nothing more.
+ There might be subtle differences between Biber's and BibTeX's
+ `labelprefix` behaviour, but it should be better than nothing.
+ If you need full `labelprefix` support, please consider switching to Biber.
+- Add `\thefirstlistitem`, `\strfirstlistitem` and `\usefirstlistitem` to
+ grab and use the first item of a field.
+- Add `\isdot` to the format for `journaltitle` so that `.`s at the end of the
+ `journal(title)` field are automatically treated as abbreviation dots and not
+ sentence-ending periods. To restore the old behaviour add
+ ```
+ \DeclareFieldFormat{journaltitle}{\mkbibemph{#1}}
+ ```
+ to the preamble.
+- Add second optional item post processing argument to `\mkcomprange`,
+ `\mknormrange` and `\mkfirstpage`. It can be used to post process
+ every number item in the formatted range separately. It can for
+ example turn cardinal ranges into ordinal ranges (this is done in
+ the Latvian localisation module).
+- Add further customisation options for strings typeset with `url`'s `\url`
+ command (mainly URLs and DOIs). It is now possible to add a bit of
+ stretchable space after characters with `biburlnumskip`, `biburlucskip`
+ and `biburlucskip`. The previously hard-coded (stretacheble) space
+ `\biburlbigskip` as well as the penalties `biburlbigbreakpenalty` and
+ `biburlbreakpenalty` are also configurable now.
+- Add `\DeclarePrintbibliographyDefaults` to set default values for some
+ option keys to `\printbibliography` and friends.
+- `\nocite` is now enabled in the bibliography (previously it was
+ deactivated in the bibliography).
+ Please report any issues that this may cause.
+- The internals macros `\abx at aux@cite`, `\abx at aux@refcontext`
+ and `\abx at aux@biblist` are now called every time an entry is cite
+ (and appears in a bibliography or biblist, respectively).
+ This helps to avoid unwanted side-effects when writing to aux files
+ is disabled.
+- `\nohyphenation` and `\textnohyphenation` now rely on a (fake)
+ language without hyphenation patterns instead of `\lefthyphenmin`,
+ which means that the command can now be used anywhere in a paragraph,
+ see also <https://texfaq.org/FAQ-hyphoff>.
+ Note that switching languages with `babel` *within* those commands
+ removes the hyphenation protection.
+- Allow `doi` field for `@online` entries. This field was previously
+ not printed in the `@online` driver. In case DOIs appear where
+ they should not appear the output of earlier versions can be
+ recreated with
+ ```
+ \ExecuteBibliographyOptions[online]{doi=false}
+ ```
+ since the `doi` option is now available on a per-type level.
+
+
+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.12
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** The syntax for defining data annotations in the
+ BibLaTeXML data source format has changed to accommodate named
+ annotations. Annotations are no longer attributes but are fully-fledged
+ elements. It is not expected that this will impact any current users.
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** The field/fieldset argument to the `\translit`
+ command is now mandatory to allow for a new optional argument which
+ restricts transliteration to entries with particular `langid` fields.
+- The field `sortyear` is an integer field now and not a literal. This is
+ because the `sortX` fields should be the same datatype as the `X` field
+ as sorting depends on this. This fixes an issue where years were not
+ sorted properly as integers. `sortyear` was sometimes used to tune date
+ sorting as in "1984-1", "1984-2" etc. for multi-volume collections with
+ the same year. However, this is really an abuse of the sorting template
+ system since this should be done by having a semantically more granular
+ sorting item to differentiate below the year level (typically, `volume`
+ does this for multi-volume works and this is already part of all default
+ sorting templates). The example .bib that comes with biblatex has been
+ changed to remove such `sortyear` abuses and the sorting is not impacted
+ as they examples using this already have either `volume` or `sorttitle`
+ which made this abuse of `sortyear` unnecessary anyway.
+- The field `number` is a literal field now and not an integer. This allows for
+ a wider range of possible input such as "S1", "Suppl. 1", "1-3".
+ If you want to sort by `number` and only have integers in there, you should
+ consider using a custom data model to turn `number` back into an integer type
+ field, since sorting integers as literals has performance implications and
+ might lead to undesired sorting such as "1", "10", "2".
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** Removed the 'semi-hidden' option `noerroretextools`.
+ If you want to load `noerroretextools` now, you need to define the macro
+ `\blx at noerroretextools` instead. This can for example be done with
+ ```
+ \usepackage{etoolbox}
+ \cslet{blx at noerroretextools}\empty
+ \usepackage{biblatex}
+ ```
+ or
+ ```
+ \makeatletter
+ \let\blx at noerroretextools\@empty
+ \makeatother
+ \usepackage{biblatex}
+ ```
+ You still need to make sure that all macros used by `biblatex` are restored
+ to their `etoolbox` definitions before loading `biblatex`.
+- New macro `\abx at missing@entry` to style missing entrykeys in citations.
+- Added field format deprecation macros `\DeprecateFieldFormatWithReplacement`
+ and friends.
+- Add `\ifdateyearsequal` to check if two dates have the same year and era
+ date part. Since `year`s are always non-negative integers and the 'sign' is
+ stored as the `era`, you should use `\ifdateyearsequal` instead of a simple
+ `\iffieldequals{#1year}{#2year}` to compare years. The latter can lead to
+ undesired results if the years have opposite signs, but are otherwise the
+ same.
+- New values `part+`, `chapter+`, `section+` and `subsection+` for 'section'-
+ valued options `refsection`, `refsegment` and `citereset`. These options
+ are then executed at not only the specified level of sectioning, but also
+ all higher levels.
+- Add second optional argument to `\DeclareDelimAlias*`.
+- Allow keywords for dataonly/skipped entries as well.
+- Added `maxcitecounter`.
+- Deprecate `\labelnamepunct` in favour of the context-sensitive
+ `nametitledelim`.
+ For compatibility reasons `\labelnamepunct` still pops up in the code here
+ and there, but `nametitledelim` should be preferred now.
+- The `xstring` package is not loaded by default any more.
+ Style developers whose styles make use of that package should load it
+ explicitly.
+- `authoryear.bbx` now has a macro `bbx:ifmergeddate` that can be used to
+ check whether the date has been printed at the beginning of an entry
+ and can thus be suppressed later in the `date` and `issue+date` macros.
+ The macro works like a test and expands to the `<true>` branch if the date
+ has been merged and can be suppressed, it expands to `<false>` if the date
+ has not been merged. In practice `\printdate` should then be issued
+ if and only if the test yields false.
+
+ This change means that the definition of the `date` macro can be the same for
+ all mergedate settings and that only `bbx:ifmergeddate` is redefined for
+ each different value. No backwards compatibility issues are expected,
+ but style authors are encouraged to test the changes and see if the new
+ macro could be useful for their styles.
+- For a long time `biblatex` has defined `\enquote` if `csquotes` was not
+ loaded. This behaviour was not documented, the official command intended
+ for quotation marks was always `\mkbibquote`. Because `biblatex` should not
+ (re)define user-level commands that are not primarily associated with
+ citations or the bibliography, from this release on `\enquote` is not defined
+ any more, instead the internal command `\blx at enquote` is defined and used.
+ The same holds for `\initoquote`, `\initiquote`, `\textooquote`,
+ `\textcoquote`, `\textoiquote`, `\textciquote`.
+ `biblatex` still defines the internal commands `\@quotelevel`, `\@quotereset`
+ and `\@setquotesfcodes` if `csquotes` is not loaded.
+
+ Users are encouraged to use `csquotes` for proper quotation marks, but can
+ get back the old behaviour with
+ ```
+ \makeatletter
+ \providerobustcmd*{\enquote}{\blx at enquote}
+ \makeatother
+ ```
+ or
+ ```
+ \newrobustcmd*{\enquote}{\mkbibquote}
+ ```
+- Add new list wrapper and name wrapper formats (`\DeclareListWrapperFormat`,
+ `\DeclareNameWrapperFormat`) to style a (name) lists in its entirety.
+ This is useful because name and lists formats normally style only one
+ particular item of the list. The wrapper format can be used to easily format
+ the entire list in italics, for example.
+- `\DeclareCitePunctuationPosition` can be used to configure the punctuation
+ position for citation commands similar to the optional `position` argument
+ of `\DeclareAutoCiteCommand`.
+- If the `\pdfmdfivesum` primitive is available (via `pdftexcmds`'
+ `\pdf at mdfivesum`) the `labelprefix` value is hashed for internal use, making
+ it safer for construction of macro names and the like. If you don't like
+ that you can turn off the behaviour by redefining `\blx at mdfivesum`. The
+ fallback in case `\pdf at mdfivesum` is unavailable is
+ ```
+ \let\blx at mdfivesum\@firstofone
+ ```
+
+ As before the labelprefix value is fully expanded before use. If its contents
+ are unexpandable you need to avoid expansion with `\detokenize`.
+
+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.11
+- `\printbiblist` now supports `driver` and `biblistfilter` options
+ to change the defaults set by the biblistname.
+- Add `\mknormrange` to normalise page ranges without compressing them.
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** The format for `postnote` (`multipostnote`,
+ `volcitepages`) normalises page ranges with `\mknormrange`.
+ Since `\mknormrange` acts only on page ranges as detected by
+ `\ifpages`, this does not affect text other than page ranges.
+ Hyphens and dashes in page ranges will be transformed to
+ `\bibrangedash`, commas and semicolons to `\bibrangesep`.
+ This is analogous to Biber's treatment of page-like fields.
+ If you always separated page ranges with `--` or `\bibrangedash`
+ anyway, this should not change the output you get.
+ If you used a single hyphen to separate page ranges (e.g., `23-27`)
+ you will now get the arguably more aesthetically pleasing output
+ with `\bibrangedash`.
+ In case you want to restore the old behaviour where page ranges were
+ not normalised add the following three lines to your preamble.
+ ```
+ \DeclareFieldFormat{postnote}{\mkpageprefix[pagination]{#1}}
+ \DeclareFieldFormat{volcitepages}{\mkpageprefix[pagination]{#1}}
+ \DeclareFieldFormat{multipostnote}{\mkpageprefix[pagination]{#1}}
+ ```
+ Style developers may note that the field format for `pages`
+ was not changed to include `\mknormrange` because the contents
+ of that field are prepared by the backend and Biber already does
+ the page range normalisation out of the box.
+- The standard definitions for headings were changed to be as close to the
+ defaults of the standard document classes or KOMA/memoir as possible.
+ **PLEASE CHECK** if your document headers relied on the behaviour of older
+ versions.
+- The `@unpublished` entry type now also supports `type`, `eventtitle`,
+ `eventdate` and `venue`.
+- A long-standing bug with punctuation before `eventdate` and `venue` was fixed.
+ Originally the round brackets were supposed to be preceded only by a space,
+ the addition of other fields caused this space to be replaced by new unit
+ punctuation. **PLEASE CHECK** if you can accept the changed output.
+- Added `\ifdateannotation`. Added optional argument for field and item to
+ `\iffieldannotation`, `\ifitemannotation`, and `\ifpartannotation`.
+- `\DeclareSourcemap` can now be used multiple times.
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** Language aliases are now also resolved when loading
+ localisation files, only infinite recursion is avoided.
+ Assuming `\DeclareLanguageMappingSuffix{-apa}`, loading `ngerman` localisation
+ causes `ngerman-apa.lbx` to be read. If that file inherits from `german`,
+ `german-apa.lbx` will be read. Previously only `german.lbx` would have been
+ read at that point. Of course if `german-apa.lbx` inherits from `german`,
+ `german.lbx` is loaded at that point, so infinite recursion is avoided.
+- **CRITICAL CHANGE** The code to load localisation files was changed.
+ This is a an internal change and should not influence document output,
+ save for a few bug fixes. Style authors should check if the changes introduce
+ any bugs for their localisation handling and report them.
+- Added `\begrelateddelim` and `\begrelateddelim<relatedtype>` for punctuation
+ before the related block. **PLEASE CHECK** that this change does not interfere
+ with your punctuation settings. The change should be backwards compatible,
+ but might give different results if `\usebibmacro{related}` is used in
+ unusual positions.
+- Added `locallabelwidth` option to control the label spacing in bibliographies,
+ if set to true, the label width will be calculated locally for the current
+ bibliography and not globally from a list of all citation.
+
+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.10
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** The recent ISO8601:201x standard supersedes
+ the draft EDTF (Extended Date Time Format) extensions. Biblatex therefore
+ now supports the ISO8601-2 Clause 4, Level 1 Extended Format which is
+ equivalent to the draft EDTF standard but with different syntax. *This
+ syntax is in some cases not backwards compatible*. Biblatex will not
+ support backwards compatibility for the draft EDTF syntax because it is
+ too messy to do so and few people were using this anyway since it is a
+ relatively new and specialised feature. Please note these syntax changes
+ which effect only the formatting of DATE fields in bibliography datasources:
+ - The "unspecified" marker "u" is now "X"
+ - An approximate+uncertain date is now indicated with "%" rather than "?~"
+ - Open dates are now marked with ".." instead of "open" or blank
+ start/end dates.
+ - Unknown dates are now indicated by blank start/end dates rather than
+ "unknown" or "*"
+- Unicode support code that is problematic for non-Unicode engines,
+ but useful for XeTeX and LuaTeX now resides in `blx-unicode.def`.
+ That file is only read by XeTeX and LuaTeX.
+- The option `noerroretextools` demotes the incompatibility error for
+ `etextools` to a mere warning if set to `true`. Users still need
+ to make sure that `\forlistloop` has the definition from `etoolbox`
+ and not the completely incompatible definition from `etextools`.
+ This option is meant as a last resort for people who must at all
+ costs load `etextools` or a package that uses it.
+ `noerroretextools=true` will always cause a warning even if
+ `etextools` is not loaded.
+
+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.9
+## Bug fix release
+- Fix `\mkpagetotal`
+- Fix issue with refcontexts not appearing in some circumstances
+- **DEPRECATION NOTICE** The coming update to the ISO8601 standard
+ supercedes the draft EDTF (Extended Date Time Format) extensions.
+ When the new ISO8601 standard is public, biblatex will therefore
+ support the ISO8601-2 Clause 4, Level 1 Extended Format which is
+ equivalent to the draft EDTF standard but with different syntax. This
+ syntax is in some cases not backwards compatible. Biblatex will not
+ support backwards compatibility for the draft EDTF syntax because it is
+ too messy to do so and few people were using this anyway since it is a
+ relatively new and specialised feature. Please note these syntax changes
+ which will effect only the formatting of DATE fields in bibliography
+ datasources:
+ - The "unspecified" marker `u` is now `X`
+ - An approximate+uncertain date is now indicated with `%` rather than `?~`
+ - Open dates are now marked with `..` instead of `open` or blank start/end dates.
+ - Unknown dates are now indicated by blank start/end dates rather than `unknown` or `*`
+
+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.8a
+## Bug fix release
+- Documentation version fix and loop fix in certain styles
+
+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.8
+## Requirements
+Biber version 2.8 is required for biblatex 3.8
+
+## In order to standardise terminology, some commands and options have dropped the "scheme" naming convention and switched to "template"
+- `\DeclareSortingScheme` is now `\DeclareSortingTemplate`
+- `\DeclareSortingNamekeyScheme` is now `\DeclareSortingNamekeyTemplate`
+- The "sortingnamekeyscheme" option is now "sortingnamekeytemplate"
+
+## `\DeclareLabelalphaNameTemplate` no longer has entrytype scope
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** The optional first argument to
+ `\DeclareLabelalphaNameTemplate` was previously an entrytype but is now an
+ arbitrary template name, as with `\DeclareUniquenameTemplate`. This is to
+ allow multiple definitions which can be referred to at different scopes.
+ It is unlikely that anyone used this with entrytype scope anyway.
+
+## `origlanguage` is now a list instead of a field.
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** Since this is mostly used to generate localisation strings like
+ 'Translated from the <language>' via the internal macros `lbx at lfromlang`
+ and `\lbx at sfromlang`, users and style authors should not see any
+ differences. However, if your style prints `origlanguage` directly using
+ `\printfield`, this will need to be changed to `\printlist`.
+
+## Name handling enhancements
+- Name handling is now fully generalised to cover arbitrary name parts.
+ The final few pieces have been completed to allow fully customisable
+ name handling, allowing for better internationalisation. The code for
+ name uniqueness calculation and label generation for names is now fully
+ abstracted: templates created with `\DeclareUniquenameTemplate` and
+ `\DeclareLabelalphaNameTemplate` may now be specified at per-refcontext,
+ per-entry, per-namelist and per-name scope, which allows complete
+ control over all aspects of name usage. See the comments in the enhanced
+ `93-nameparts.tex` example file.
+
+## `extrayear` is now `extradate` and the information used to track this can be customised
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** `extrayear` is called `extradate` now.
+ Limited backwards compatibility is
+ in place to allow a smooth transition, but style developers should use the new name.
+- The new `\DeclareExtradate` command allows users to track authoryear
+ disambiguation in arbitrary ways now, for example allowing disambiguation
+ at month or day level instead of just year. See the PDF doc for details.
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** Some bibmacros from the `authoryear` style family
+ were renamed, `cite:labelyear+extrayear` becomes `cite:labeldate+extradate`,
+ `cite:extrayear` is `cite:extradate` now, and `date+extrayear`
+ is `date+extradate`. Some backwards compatibility code is present,
+ but developers should make sure their code works as expected.
+
+## Date formatting
+- The `mergedate` output has been restored to its earlier form,
+ it has also been extended to cover all EDTF date parts.
+ In order to facilitate this, a few date-related tests were introduced
+ `\iflabeldateisdate`, `\ifdatehasyearonlyprecision`, `\ifdatehastime`
+ and `\ifdateshavedifferentprecision`.
+- The `authoryear` citation styles now use `\printlabeldateextra`
+ instead of `\printfield{labelyear}\printfield{extrayear}`.
+ This should have no consequences for end users (except that
+ dates in citations and bibliography don't differ any more -
+ previously there were subtle differences when many EDTF features
+ were used), but style developers should check if they assume
+ anything about the bibmacros that have now changed.
+ Style developers are invited to have a look at the changes and
+ to get inspired to offer full EDTF format for their styles as well.
+
+## Set handling
+- Static entry sets used to have the behaviour that when citing a member of
+ a set, the data for the citation came from the set parent which was in
+ turn taken from the first member of the set. In most use cases, the only
+ part of the set parent data that was actually used was the labels but in
+ certain edge cases, other data was used which results in confusing
+ citations for set members. This has been refactored so that when citing
+ set members, the member data is used along with some labelling data
+ injected from the set parent. This means that things like
+ `\citeauthor{somesetmember}` now give the expected results.
+ *PLEASE NOTE* that this means that citing sets directly in default styles *not*
+ based on labels (`authoryear`, `authortitle`, `verbose` etc.) will result
+ in blank citations as it is not envisaged that sets are useful in such
+ styles.
+- The members of a set can now be sorted according to the active
+ sorting scheme, this is enabled via the `sortsets` option.
+ By default the option is set to false and set members appear
+ in the order given in the data source.
+- The `alphabetic` style family now also supports the `subentry`
+ option.
+
+## Localisation and styles
+- Styles which supply their own location strings in `.lbx` files typically
+ use `\DeclareLanguageMapping` to map a document language to the supplied
+ language files. This is not ideal because the mapping has to be done by
+ the user depending on the specific language. For example, for the APA
+ style, in a document using American English, this line is necessary in
+ every document:
+ ```
+ \DeclareLanguageMapping{american}{american-apa}
+ ```
+ so that the style supplied `america-apa.lbx` file is loaded.
+ In a document using the German language, the user would have to use:
+ ```
+ \DeclareLanguageMapping{german}{german-apa}
+ ```
+ A new macro `\DeclareLanguageMappingSuffix` is now supplied which allows
+ styles to register a global localisation file suffix which is appended to
+ any document language automatically. This removes the need for
+ `\DeclareLanguageMapping` in user documents as it ensures that the
+ correct localisation file will be read nomatter what the document language.
+ For example, the APA style (from version v7.5) now has this
+ in `apa.bbx`:
+ ```
+ \DeclareLanguageMappingSuffix{-apa}
+ ```
+ which means that for a given document language `<lang>`
+ the localisation file `<lang>-apa.lbx` will be loaded.
+ `\DeclareLanguageMapping`, if present, will override
+ `\DeclareLanguageMappingSuffix`.
+
+## Context-sensitive delimiters
+- Several delimiter macros now use the context-sensitive delimiter interface
+ introduced in version 3.4 (`\DeclareDelimFormat`). This change is fully
+ backwards compatible, but style developers should feel encouraged to use the
+ new commands `\DeclareDelimFormat` and `\printdelim`.
+- Three new delimiters are introduced. `authortypedelim`, `editortypedelim`,
+ and `translatortypedelim` control the delimiter between the respective name
+ and the following `<name>` bibstring.
+ This together with `\DeclareFieldFormat{<name>type}` allows one to go from
+ 'E. Ditor, ed.' to 'E. Ditor (ed.)' more easily without the need
+ to redefine entire bibmacros.
+- `\DeclareDelimAlias` allows one to alias one delimiter to another.
+ E.g. `\DeclareDelimAlias{finalnamedelim}{multinamedelim}`
+ will make `finalnamedelim` an alias for `multinamedelim`.
+ The starred version `\DeclareDelimAlias*` is local to the
+ specified contexts.
+
+## Misc changes
+- The initialisation code for `\usedriver` can now be modified via
+ `\AtUsedriver`, the code can be executed with `\UseUsedriverHook`.
+ The default settings retain backwards compatibility with earlier
+ versions.
+- The field `urlraw` contains the unencoded, raw version of the URL.
+ If the URL includes Unicode characters, `urlraw` will show them
+ unencoded while the standard `url` field will contain them in
+ percent-encoded form.
+- `\mkpagetotal` now has its own bibstrings `<pagination>total(s)`
+ Previously it relied on the `<pagination>(s)` bibstrings.
+- `sortyear` is now a literal field and not an integer.
+- The `etextools` package is now officially incompatible.
+- `bidi`-support for footnotes was improved.
+- `\ifentryseen`, `\ifentryinbib`, `\ifentrycategory`
+ and `\ifentrykeyword` can now be used outside of
+ `biblatex` macros directly in the document.
+- `\letbibmacro` can be used to create bibmacro aliases as if
+ using `\let`.
+- `\DeprecateFieldWithReplacement`, `\DeprecateListWithReplacement`
+ and `\DeprecateNameWithReplacement` can be used to deprecate a field,
+ name or list and replace it with a new one.
+
+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.7
+## Requirements
+Biber version 2.7 is required for biblatex 3.7
+
+Bugfix release.
+
+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.6
+## Requirements
+Biber version 2.6 is required for biblatex 3.6
+
+This is a minor bugfix release.
+
+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.5
+## Requirements
+Biber version 2.6 is required for biblatex 3.5
+
+## Name support
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** The labelling system has been generalised
+ to be able to deal better with names. `\DeclareLabelalphaTemplate` no
+ longer uses hard-coded name parts (prefix, family) when extracting label
+ parts from name fields. Name field label extraction now obeys the new
+ `\DeclareLabelalphaNameTemplate` specification which details how to extract
+ label information from each namepart known to the data model. The default
+ setting is backwards compatible with the old hard-coded behaviour.
+ However, if you have custom `\DeclareLabelalphaTemplate` specifications,
+ you should note that the "pcompound" and "pstrwidth" options to `\field`
+ are now gone and replaced with the relevant settings on `\namepart` in
+ `\DeclareLabelalphaNameTemplate`. The old options will generate warnings.
+ It is too complex to provide backwards compat for this, sorry - please
+ update your templates if necessary. This is one of the last changes
+ needed to fully generalise name handling.
+
+## Date input and output
+Major enhancements to the dates parsed by biblatex and the output formats
+available. Biblatex now supports [[http://www.loc.gov/standards/datetime/pre-submission.html][EDTF]] level 0 and 1. This is an enhanced
+ISO8601v2004 format suitable for bibliographic data. The new support is a
+superset of the previous limited ISO8601 support. Times are now fully
+supported in various formats as online sources become more common and time
+specifications for such sources are increasingly important. Tests and
+localisation strings are provided to use EDTF information about date
+uncertainty, era, approximation etc. in styles. A new example document
+(96-dates.tex) is provided which demonstrates the new features. See the PDF
+manual and its changelog for details of usage. The new date format
+functionality is backwards compatible. The following changes are more
+detailed and mostly of interest to style authors:
+
+- The `iso8601` date output format is now called `edtf`. The old name will
+ automatically use `edtf` and issue a deprecation warning.
+- `\bibdatedash` is now `\bibdaterangesep` as this name is more
+ informative and more descriptive of how it is actually used. A backwards
+ compat alias is provided.
+- Pre-biblatex 2.0 legacy sorting scheme definition macros `\name` and
+ `\list` are now deprecated with warnings.
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** The `labeldate` option is renamed to
+ `labeldateparts`. The `datelabel` option is renamed to `labeldate` to
+ provide consistency with all other date options. Backwards compatibility
+ is provided and warnings will be issued.
+- The new date system necessitated changes to the default year printing
+ routine for citations in the default authoryear styles. If you wish to
+ take advantage of the new date features like circa, uncertainty and eras,
+ when printing citations in authoryear styles, see the enhanced
+ `cite:labelyear+extrayear` macros in any of the default authoryear
+ styles.
+- The `labelyear` field was inconsistently implemented and in fact could
+ sometimes contain a date range which made handling it rather difficult.
+ It is now guaranteed to contain only one year, when it is a copy of an
+ existing datepart field found by `\DeclareLabeldate` (`labelyear` can
+ contain a literal/bibstring or non date field too). A new field
+ `labelendyear` will contain the end of the labeldate year range. The same
+ applies to labelmonth and labelday.
+- The internal macros `\mkbibrange*` have all been changed to
+ `\mkdaterange*` to make the name more obvious (since they only deal with
+ dates) and for consistency with the new `\mktimerange*` macros. These
+ macros are usually only used in style .lbx files and the old names will
+ generate a deprecation warning.
+- The option `datezeros` was inconsistent as it did not enforce zeros when
+ set to 'true', it merely preserved the field. In the new date internals,
+ leading zeros are not present after date parsing as this should always be
+ a formatting/style decision. Now, `datezeros` enforces leading zeros and
+ also handles all date parts.
+- `\mkdatezeros` has been replaced with `\mkyearzeros`, `\mkmonthzeros` and
+ `\mkdayzeros` due to the date internals changes which are more consistent
+ about integer formats of date parts. `\mkdatezeros` now generates a
+ deprecation warning and calls `\mkmonthzeros` which is backwards compatible
+ with its old behaviour.
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** The .bbl field `datelabelsource` has been renamed to
+ `labeldatesource` to prevent confusion with other fields. In the unlikely
+ event that you referenced this field in a style, please change the name.
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** The macro `\printdatelabel` has been renamed to
+ `\printlabeldate` in line with the naming of all other date printing
+ macros. Please use the new name. The old one will issue a deprecation warning.
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** The macro `\printdatelabelextra` has been renamed to
+ `\printlabeldateextra` in line with the naming of all other date printing
+ macros. Please use the new name. The old one will issue a deprecation warning.
+
+## Misc changes
+- The experimental RIS format support is no longer available as it was
+ rarely used and made biber maintenance more complicated. RIS is a very
+ primitive format and not much use anyway.
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** The `singletitle` option no longer considers the
+ presence of labeltitle if labelname does not exist. This has always been
+ potentially confusing. For several versions now, there has been a
+ separate test and option for labeltitle called "uniquetitle".
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** The `sortgiveninits` option has been deprecated and
+ the functionality generalised. It is replaced by the "inits" option to
+ `\namepart` in `\DeclareSortingNamekeyScheme`. Any nameparts may now
+ therefore be sorted using initials only.
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** The sorting subsystem in biber has been completely
+ re-engineered to support better sorting of different datatypes.
+ Previously, due to bibtex limitations, all sorting was lexical, even for
+ numbers. This is why the padding options for things like volume in the
+ default sorting specifications existed - so that lexical sorts for
+ numbers would work. With the enhancement of the date parsing routines to
+ include negative years, in order to sort these properly, it was time to
+ switch to a better sorting method. As a result, the datatypes of fields
+ is now a bit stricter, as it should be. Expect more changes in this
+ direction but for this release, the datatype of the following fields in
+ the default data model have been changed to 'integer':
+
+ - number
+ - sortyear
+ - volume
+ - volumes
+
+ Integer datatypes no longer need padding or literal fallbacks in the
+ sorting scheme definitions since they are now sorted properly as
+ integers. Such datatype changes only effect sorting.

+ABOUT
+
+The biblatex package is a complete reimplementation of the
+bibliographic facilities provided by LaTeX. A custom backend "biber"
+by default is used which processed the BibTeX format data files and
+them performs all sorting, label generation (and a great deal
+more). Legacy BibTeX is also supported as a backend, albeit with a
+reduced feature set. Biblatex does not use the backend to format the
+bibliography information as with traditional BibTeX: instead of being
+implemented in BibTeX's style files, the formatting of the
+bibliography is entirely controlled by TeX macros. Good working
+knowledge in LaTeX should be sufficient to design new bibliography and
+citation styles. There is no need to learn BibTeX's postfix stack
+language. Just like the bibliography styles, all citation commands may
+be freely (re)defined.
+
+Apart from the features unique to biblatex, the package also
+incorporates core features of the following packages: babelbib,
+backref, bibtopic, bibunits, chapterbib, cite, citeref, inlinebib,
+mlbib, multibib, natbib, splitbib. There are also some conceptual
+parallels to the amsrefs package. The biblatex package supports
+split bibliographies, multiple bibliographies within one document,
+and separate lists of bibliographic shorthands. Bibliographies may
+be subdivided into parts (by chapter, by section, etc.) and/or
+segmented by topics (by type, by keyword, etc.). With biber as the
+backend, features such as customisable sorting, multiple bibliographies
+with different sorting, customisable labels, dynamic data modification
+are available. The package is fully localized and can interface with
+the babel package.

+REQUIREMENTS
+
+Strictly required:
+
+- e-TeX
+- BibTeX, bibtex8, or Biber
+- etoolbox 2.1 or later
+- logreq 1.0 or later
+- keyval
+- ifthen
+- url
+
+Strongly recommended:
+
+- Biber

+- csquotes 4.4 or later
+
+Biber is available from CTAN, via TeXLive or from
+
+https://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/
+
+AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION
+
+TeX Live: The biblatex package is included in TeX Live.
+ Use the TeX Live package manager to install it.
+ Biber can also be installed with the package manager.
+
+MiKTeX: The biblatex package is included in MiKTeX.
+ Use the MiKTeX package manager to install it.
+ Biber can also be installed with the package manager.
+
+SEMI-AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION
+
+1. Get the file biblatex-<version>.tds.zip from
+
+ https://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex/files/
+
+2. Unpack the archive in the root directory of the local TeX
+ installation tree, for example
+
+ /usr/local/share/texmf/
+ or
+ /usr/share/texmf-local/
+ or
+ C:\Local TeX Files\
+
+3. Update the file hash tables (also known as the file name
+ database).
+
+ On teTeX and TeX Live systems, run texhash as root ('sudo
+ texhash'). On MiKTeX, run 'initexmf --update-fndb' in a command
+ window or use the 'Refresh FNDB' button of the MiKTeX Options
+ window.
+
+MANUAL INSTALLATION
+
+1. Get the file biblatex-<version>.tar.gz from
+
+ https://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex/files/
+
+ or download the file
+
+ http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex.zip
+
+2. Unpack the archive in a temporary working directory.
+
+3. Copy all files and subdirectories in the 'latex' directory to:
+
+ <texmflocal>/tex/latex/biblatex/
+
+ where <texmflocal> denotes the root of the local TeX installation
+ tree, for example
+
+ /usr/local/share/texmf/
+ or
+ /usr/share/texmf-local/
+ or
+ C:\Local TeX Files\
+
+4. Copy all files in the 'bibtex/bst' subdirectory to:
+
+ <texmflocal>/bibtex/bst/biblatex/
+
+5. Copy all files in the 'bibtex/bib' subdirectory to:
+
+ <texmflocal>/bibtex/bib/biblatex/
+
+6. If you are using bibtex8, copy all files in the 'bibtex/csf'
+ subdirectory to:
+
+ <texmflocal>/bibtex/csf/biblatex/
+
+7. The manual and example files in 'doc' subdirectory go to
+
+ <texmflocal>/doc/latex/biblatex/
+
+8. Update the file hash tables (also known as the file name
+ database).
+
+ On teTeX and TeX Live systems, run texhash as root ('sudo
+ texhash'). On MiKTeX, run 'initexmf --update-fndb' in a command
+ window or use the 'Refresh FNDB' button of the MiKTeX Options
+ window.
+
+Note that you may have to create some or all of the above
+directories if this is the first package you're installing locally
+(as opposed to via a package manager).
+
+USAGE
+
+Refer to biblatex.pdf for a systematic reference manual and to the
+'doc/examples' subdirectory for usage examples.
+
+CHANGES
+
+A list of changes relevant to users of this package is included at
+the end of 'biblatex.pdf'. See also the release notes in 'CHANGES.md'.

+ <bltx:abstract>The computation of ionic solvation free energies from atomistic simulations is a surprisingly difficult problem that has found no satisfactory solution for more than 15 years. The reason is that the charging free energies evaluated from such simulations are affected by very large errors. One of these is related to the choice of a specific convention for summing up the contributions of solvent charges to the electrostatic potential in the ionic cavity, namely, on the basis of point charges within entire solvent molecules (M scheme) or on the basis of individual point charges (P scheme). The use of an inappropriate convention may lead to a charge-independent offset in the calculated potential, which depends on the details of the summation scheme, on the quadrupole-moment trace of the solvent molecule, and on the approximate form used to represent electrostatic interactions in the system. However, whether the M or P scheme (if any) represents the appropriate convention is still a matter of on-going debate. The goal of the present article is to settle this long-standing controversy by carefully analyzing (both analytically and numerically) the properties of the electrostatic potential in molecular liquids (and inside cavities within them).</bltx:abstract>

+ <bltx:abstract>Four methods for deriving partial atomic charges from the quantum chemical electrostatic potential (CHELP, CHELPG, Merz-Kollman, and RESP) have been compared and critically evaluated. It is shown that charges strongly depend on how and where the potential points are selected. Two alternative methods are suggested to avoid the arbitrariness in the point-selection schemes and van der Waals exclusion radii: CHELP-BOW, which also estimates the charges from the electrostatic potential, but with potential points that are Boltzmann-weighted after their occurrence in actual simulations using the energy function of the program in which the charges will be used, and CHELMO, which estimates the charges directly from the electrostatic multipole moments. Different criteria for the quality of the charges are discussed.</bltx:abstract>

+ <bltx:abstract>We discuss the limitations of 't Hooft's proposal for the black hole S-matrix. We find that the validity of the S-matrix implies violation of the semi-classical approximation at scales large compared to the Planck scale. We also show that the effect of the centrifugal barrier on the S-matrix is crucial even for large transverse distances.</bltx:abstract>

+ <bltx:abstract>Sorting algorithms are the deciding factor for the performance of common operations such as removal of duplicates or database sort-merge joins. This work focuses on 32-bit integer keys, optionally paired with a 32-bit value. We present a fast radix sorting algorithm that builds upon a microarchitecture-aware variant of counting sort</bltx:abstract>

+ <bltx:abstract>The steady state performance of a bulk transfer TCP flow (i.e. a flow with a large amount of data to send, such as FTP transfers) may be characterized by three quantities. The first is the send rate, which is the amount of data sent by the sender in unit time. The second is the throughput, which is the amount of data received by the receiver in unit time. Note that the throughput will always be less than or equal to the send rate due to losses. Finally, the number of non-duplicate packets received by the receiver in unit time gives us the goodput of the connection. The goodput is always less than or equal to the throughput, since the receiver may receive two copies of the same packet due to retransmissions by the sender. In a previous paper, we presented a simple model for predicting the steady state send rate of a bulk transfer TCP flow as a function of loss rate and round trip time. In this paper, we extend that work in two ways. First, we analyze the performance of bulk transfer TCP flows using more precise, stochastic analysis. Second, we build upon the previous analysis to provide both an approximate formula as well as a more accurate stochastic model for the steady state throughput of a bulk transfer TCP flow.</bltx:abstract>

+\section{Introduction}
+\label{int}
+
+\textcolor{red}{\textbf{NOTE}: This is the documentation for the
+ <multiscript> version of \biblatex. The package name is
+ <\texttt{biblatex-ms}> and it requires the multiscript version of \biber
+ (\texttt{biber-ms}). This version is expected in the future to be the
+ default and only version of \biblatex but currently, in order to garner
+ feedback and testing, it is a separate package which can be installed in
+ parallel with the standard version. It should be fully backwards
+ compatible with the standard \biblatex package but is considered
+ experimental and feedback is encourage via the \biblatex github
+ repository\fnurl{https://github.com/plk/biblatex}.}\\
+
+This document is a systematic reference manual for the \biblatex package. Look at the sample documents which come with \biblatex to get a first impression.\fnurl{https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex/doc/examples}

+
+\subsection[About]{About \biblatex}
+\label{int:abt}
+
+This package provides advanced bibliographic facilities for use with \latex. The package is a complete reimplementation of the bibliographic facilities provided by \latex. The \biblatex\ package works with the \enquote{backend} (program) \biber, which is used to process \bibtex\ format data files and them performs all sorting, label generation (and a great deal more). Formatting of the bibliography is entirely controlled by \tex\ macros. Good working knowledge in \latex should be sufficient to design new bibliography and citation styles. This package also supports subdivided bibliographies, multiple bibliographies within one document, and separate lists of bibliographic information such as abbreviations of various fields. Bibliographies may be subdivided into parts and\slash or segmented by topics. Just like the bibliography styles, all citation commands may be freely defined. Features such as full Unicode support for bibliography data, customisable sorting, multiple bibliographies with different sorting, customisable labels and dynamic data modification are available. Please refer to \secref{int:pre:bibercompat} for information on \biber/\biblatex version compatibility. The package is completely localised and can interface with the \sty{babel} and \sty{polyglossia} packages. Please refer to \tabref{bib:fld:tab1} for a list of languages currently supported by this package.

+\subsection{Prerequisites}
+\label{int:pre}
+
+This section gives an overview of all resources required by this package and discusses compatibility issues.
+
+\subsubsection{Requirements}
+\label{int:pre:req}
+
+The resources listed in this section are strictly required for \biblatex to function. The package will not work if they are not available.
+
+\begin{marglist}
+
+\item[\etex]
+The \biblatex package requires \etex. \tex distributions have been providing \etex binaries for quite some time, the popular distributions use them by default these days. The \biblatex package checks if it is running under \etex. Simply try compiling your documents as you usually do, the chances are that it just works. If you get an error message, try compiling the document with \bin{elatex} instead of \bin{latex} or \bin{pdfelatex} instead of \bin{pdflatex}, respectively.
+
+\item[\biber]
+\biber is the backend of \biblatex used to transfer data from source files to the \latex code. \biber comes with TeX Live and is also available from SourceForge.\fnurl{https://biblatex-biber.sourceforge.net/}. \biber uses the \texttt{btparse} C library for \bibtex format file parsing which aimed to be compatible with \bibtex's parsing rules but also aimed at correcting some of the common problems. For details, see the manual page for the Perl \texttt{Text::BibTeX} module\fnurl{https://metacpan.org/release/Text-BibTeX}.
+
+\item[etoolbox]
+This \latex package, which is loaded automatically, provides generic programming facilities required by \biblatex. It is available from \acr{CTAN}.\fnurl{https://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox}
+
+\item[kvoptions]
+This \latex package, which is also loaded automatically, is used for internal option handling. It is available from \acr{CTAN}.\fnurl{https://ctan.org/pkg/kvoptions}
+
+\item[logreq]
+This \latex package, which is also loaded automatically, provides a frontend for writing machine-readable messages to an auxiliary log file. It is available from \acr{CTAN}.\fnurl{https://ctan.org/pkg/logreq/}
+
+\item[pdftexcmds]
+This \latex package, which is loaded automatically, implements \pdftex primitives for \luatex, it also offers a unified interface for these primitives across engines. It is available from \acr{CTAN}.\fnurl{https://ctan.org/pkg/pdftexcmds/}
+
+\biblatex uses \sty{pdftexcmds} to access the MD5 hash primitives, so version~0.27 (2018/01/30) or above is strongly recommended.
+
+\end{marglist}
+
+Apart from the above resources, \biblatex also requires the standard \latex packages \sty{keyval} and \sty{ifthen} as well as the \sty{url} package. These package are included in all common \tex distributions and will be loaded automatically.
+
+\subsubsection{Recommended Packages}
+\label{int:pre:rec}
+
+The packages listed in this section are not strictly required for \biblatex to function, but they provide recommended additional functions or enhance existing features.
+
+\begin{marglist}
+
+\item[babel/polyglossia]
+The \sty{babel} and \sty{polyglossia} packages provides the core architecture for multilingual typesetting. If you are writing in a language other than American English, using one of these packages is strongly recommended. You should load \sty{babel} or \sty{polyglossia} before \biblatex and then \biblatex will detect \sty{babel} or \sty{polyglossia} automatically. (While \sty{babel} may be loaded after \biblatex if so desired, \sty{polyglossia} must always be loaded before \biblatex.)
+
+\biblatex has only limited support for \sty{polyglossia} versions prior to~v1.45 (2019/10/27). Additional useful features for \biblatex were added in version~1.49. If \sty{polyglossia} is used, it should be updated to version~1.49 (2020/04/08) or above.
+
+The minimum supported \sty{babel} version is~v3.9r (2016/04/23).
+
+\item[csquotes]
+If this package is available, \biblatex will use its language sensitive quotation facilities to enclose certain titles in quotation marks. If not, \biblatex uses quotes suitable for American English as a fallback. When writing in a language other than American English, loading \sty{csquotes} is strongly recommended.\fnurl{https://ctan.org/pkg/csquotes/}
+
+\end{marglist}
+
+\subsubsection{Additional Useful Packages}
+\label{int:pre:add}
+
+The packages listed in this section are not required for \biblatex to function, but provide additional specialist functions or enhance existing features. These packages generally only need to be loaded if their functionality is explicitly desired. The package loading order usually does not matter.
+
+\begin{marglist}
+
+\item[xpatch]
+The \sty{xpatch} package extends the patching commands of \sty{etoolbox} to \biblatex bibliography macros, drivers and formatting directives.\fnurl{https://ctan.org/pkg/xpatch/} Its commands are useful to apply surgical-precision changes to bibliography macros, drivers or formatting directives without having to restate the whole definition to change it. The \biblatex core does not need or use these patching commands and styles that make use of them should load the package themselves.
+
+\end{marglist}
+
+\subsubsection{Compatible Classes and Packages}
+\label{int:pre:cmp}
+
+The \biblatex package provides dedicated compatibility code for the classes and packages listed in this section.
+
+\begin{marglist}
+
+\item[hyperref]
+The \sty{hyperref} package transforms citations into hyperlinks. See the \opt{hyperref} and \opt{backref} package options in \secref{use:opt:pre:gen} for further details. When using the \sty{hyperref} package, it is preferable to load it after \biblatex.
+
+\item[showkeys]
+The \sty{showkeys} package prints the internal keys of, among other things, citations in the text and items in the bibliography. The package loading order does not matter.
+
+\item[memoir]
+When using the \sty{memoir} class, the default bibliography headings are adapted such that they blend well with the default layout of this class. See \secref{use:cav:mem} for further usage hints.
+
+\item[\acr{KOMA}-Script]
+When using any of the \sty{scrartcl}, \sty{scrbook}, or \sty{scrreprt} classes, the default bibliography headings are adapted such that they blend with the default layout of these classes. See \secref{use:cav:scr} for further usage hints.
+
+If available \biblatex makes use of some of the more recent of \acr{KOMA}-Script's \emph{do-hooks}. The relevant hooks are present from version~3.27 (2019/10/12) onwards, which is therefore the minimum version recommendation.
+
+\end{marglist}
+
+\subsubsection{Incompatible Packages}
+\label{int:pre:inc}
+
+The packages listed in this section are not compatible with \biblatex. Since it reimplements the bibliographic facilities of \latex from the ground up, \biblatex naturally conflicts with all packages modifying the same facilities. This is not specific to \biblatex. Some of the packages listed below are also incompatible with each other for the same reason.
+
+\begin{marglist}
+
+\item[babelbib]
+The \sty{babelbib} package provides support for multilingual bibliographies. This is a standard feature of \biblatex. Use the \bibfield{langid} field and the package option \opt{autolang} for similar functionality. Note that \biblatex automatically adjusts to the main document language if \sty{babel} or \sty{polyglossia} is loaded. You only need the above mentioned features if you want to switch languages on a per"=entry basis within the bibliography. See \secref{bib:fld:spc, use:opt:pre:gen} for details. Also see \secref{use:lng}.
+
+\item[backref]
+The \sty{backref} package creates back references in the bibliography. See the package options \opt{hyperref} and \opt{backref} in \secref{use:opt:pre:gen} for comparable functionality.
+
+\item[bibtopic]
+The \sty{bibtopic} package provides support for bibliographies subdivided by topic, type, or other criteria. For bibliographies subdivided by topic, see the category feature in \secref{use:bib:cat} and the corresponding filters in \secref{use:bib:bib}. Alternatively, you may use the \bibfield{keywords} field in conjunction with the \opt{keyword} and \opt{notkeyword} filters for comparable functionality, see \secref{bib:fld:spc, use:bib:bib} for details. For bibliographies subdivided by type, use the \opt{type} and \opt{nottype} filters. Also see \secref{use:use:div} for examples.
+
+\item[bibunits]
+The \sty{bibunits} package provides support for multiple partial (\eg per chapter) bibliographies. See \sty{chapterbib}.
+
+\item[chapterbib]
+The \sty{chapterbib} package provides support for multiple partial bibliographies. Use the \env{refsection} environment and the \opt{section} filter for comparable functionality. Alternatively, you might also want to use the \env{refsegment} environment and the \opt{segment} filter. See \secref{use:bib:sec, use:bib:seg, use:bib:bib} for details. Also see \secref{use:use:mlt} for examples.
+
+\item[cite]
+The \sty{cite} package automatically sorts numeric citations and can compress a list of consecutive numbers to a range. It also makes the punctuation used in citations configurable. For sorted and compressed numeric citations, see the \opt{sortcites} package option in \secref{use:opt:pre:gen} and the \texttt{numeric-comp} citation style in \secref{use:xbx:cbx}. For configurable punctuation, see \secref{use:fmt}.
+
+\item[citeref]
+Another package for creating back references in the bibliography. See \sty{backref}.
+
+\item[inlinebib]
+The \sty{inlinebib} package is designed for traditional citations given in footnotes. For comparable functionality, see the verbose citation styles in \secref{use:xbx:cbx}.
+
+\item[jurabib]
+Originally designed for citations in law studies and (mostly German) judicial documents, the \sty{jurabib} package also provides features aimed at users in the humanities. In terms of the features provided, there are some similarities between \sty{jurabib} and \biblatex but the approaches taken by both packages are quite different. Since both \sty{jurabib} and \biblatex are full"=featured packages, the list of similarities and differences is too long to be discussed here.
+
+\item[mcite]
+The \sty{mcite} package provides support for grouped citations, \ie multiple items can be cited as a single reference and listed as a single block in the bibliography. The citation groups are defined as the items are cited. This only works with unsorted bibliographies. The \biblatex package also supports grouped citations, which are called <entry sets> or <reference sets> in this manual. See \secref{use:use:set,use:bib:set,use:cit:mct} for details.
+
+\item[mciteplus]
+A significantly enhanced reimplementation of the \sty{mcite} package which supports grouping in sorted bibliographies. See \sty{mcite}.
+
+\item[multibib]
+The \sty{multibib} package provides support for bibliographies subdivided by topic or other criteria. See \sty{bibtopic}.
+
+\item[natbib]
+The \sty{natbib} package supports numeric and author"=year citation schemes, incorporating sorting and compression code found in the \sty{cite} package. It also provides additional citation commands and several configuration options. See the \texttt{numeric} and \texttt{author-year} citation styles and their variants in \secref{use:xbx:cbx}, the \opt{sortcites} package option in \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}, the citation commands in \secref{use:cit}, and the facilities discussed in \secref{use:bib:hdg, use:bib:nts, use:fmt} for comparable functionality. Also see \secref{use:cit:nat}.
+
+\item[splitbib]
+The \sty{splitbib} package provides support for bibliographies subdivided by topic. See \sty{bibtopic}.
+
+\item[titlesec]
+The \sty{titlesec} package redefines user-level document division commands such as \cmd{chapter} or \cmd{section}. This approach is not compatible with internal command changes applied by the \biblatex \opt{refsection}, \opt{refsegment} and \opt{citereset} option settings described in \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}.
+
+\item[ucs]
+The \sty{ucs} package provides support for \utf encoded input, but it does so in a way incompatible with \biblatex.
+
+If you get an error about \sty{ucs} being loaded, but you don't load it explicitly in your preamble, check that you don't load \sty{inputenc}'s \file{utf8x} module: \verb|\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}| will also load \sty{ucs}.
+
+Instead of \sty{ucs}/\file{utf8x} use a Unicode engine such as \xetex or \luatex if you want full Unicode support. If you use \pdftex or \tex, the Unicode characters predefined by the \latex format are usually enough for many use cases (this is true for \latex from April 2018 or later, in older versions load \sty{inputenc} with the \file{utf8} module) and missing characters can be defined using \cmd{DeclareUnicodeCharacter} or \sty{newunicodechar}'s \cmd{newunicodechar}.
+
+\item[etextools]
+The \sty{etextools} package provides enhancements to list macros defined by \sty{etoolbox} and a few other tools for command definitions.
+The package redefines list handling macros in a way incompatible with \biblatex.
+
+If you must load the \sty{etextools} package at all costs, define the control sequence \cs{blx at noerroretextools} before you load \biblatex.
+If \cs{blx at noerroretextools} is defined, no error will be issued if \sty{etextools} is loaded, the message is degraded to a warning instead.
+In that case you need to make sure that all redefined macros used by \biblatex\ (currently only \cmd{forlistloop}) have their original \sty{etoolbox} definitions when \biblatex\ is loaded.
+
+\end{marglist}
+
+\subsubsection{Compatibility Matrix for \biber}
+\label{int:pre:bibercompat}
+
+\biber\ versions are closely coupled with \biblatex\ versions. You
+need to have the right combination of the two. \biber\ will throw a fatal error
+during processing if it encounters information which comes from a
+\biblatex\ version which is incompatible. \Tabref{tab:int:pre:bibercompat} shows a
+compatibility matrix for the recent versions.

+\section{Database Guide}
+\label{bib}
+
+This section describes the default data model defined in the \file{blx-dm.def} file which is part of \path{biblatex}. The data model is defined using the macros documented in \secref{aut:ctm:dm}. It is possible to redefine the data model which both \biblatex and \biber use so that datasources can contain new entrytypes and fields (which of course will need style support). The data model specification also allows for constraints to be defined so that data sources can be validated against the data model (using \biber's \opt{--validate-datamodel} option). Users who want to customise the data model need to look at the \file{blx-dm.def} file and to read \secref{aut:ctm:dm}.
+
+All entry types and field names are given in all-lowercase form here. This is how the entry types and field names are given in the data model. While the \biber/\bibtex input side is case insensitive, the \latex side is case sensitive and uses the exact capitalisation from the data model. This means that the input in the \file{bib} file may use any capitalisation of entry types and field names, but when the fields are used in the \latex document---for example in \cmd{citefield}---the capitalisation must match the captalisation in the data model, for standard types and fields that would be all lowercase.
+
+\subsection{Entry Types}
+\label{bib:typ}
+
+This section gives an overview of the entry types supported by the default \biblatex data model along with the fields supported by each type.
+
+\subsubsection{Regular Types}
+\label{bib:typ:blx}
+
+The lists below indicate the fields supported by each entry type. Note that the mapping of fields to an entry type is ultimately at the discretion of the bibliography style. The lists below therefore serve two purposes. They indicate the fields supported by the standard styles which come with this package and they also serve as a model for custom styles. Note that the <required> fields are not strictly required in all cases, see \secref{bib:use:key} for details. The fields marked as <optional> are optional in a technical sense. Bibliographical formatting rules usually require more than just the <required> fields. The default data model defined a few constraints for the format of date fields, ISBNs and some special fields like \bibfield{gender} but the constraints are only used if validating against the data model with \biber's \opt{--validate-datamodel} option. Generic fields like \bibfield{abstract} and \bibfield{annotation} or \bibfield{label} and \bibfield{shorthand} are not included in the lists below because they are independent of the entry type. The special fields discussed in \secref{bib:fld:spc}, which are also independent of the entry type, are not included in the lists either. See the default data model specification in the file \file{blx-dm.def} which comes with \biblatex for a complete specification.
+
+The <alias> relation referred to in this subsection is the <soft alias> defined with \cmd{DeclareBibliographyAlias}. That means that the alias will use the same bibliography driver as the type it is aliased to, but that its type-specific formatting is still handled independently of the aliased type.
+
+\begin{typelist}
+
+\typeitem{article}
+
+An article in a journal, magazine, newspaper, or other periodical which forms a self"=contained unit with its own title. The title of the periodical is given in the \bibfield{journaltitle} field. If the issue has its own title in addition to the main title of the periodical, it goes in the \bibfield{issuetitle} field. Note that \bibfield{editor} and related fields refer to the journal while \bibfield{translator} and related fields refer to the article.
+
+\reqitem{author, title, journaltitle, year/date}
+\optitem{translator, annotator, commentator, subtitle, titleaddon, editor, editora, editorb, editorc, journalsubtitle, journaltitleaddon, issuetitle, issuesubtitle, issuetitleaddon, language, origlanguage, series, volume, number, eid, issue, month, pages, version, note, issn, addendum, pubstate, doi, eprint, eprintclass, eprinttype, url, urldate}
+
+\typeitem{book}
+
+A single"=volume book with one or more authors where the authors share credit for the work as a whole. This entry type also covers the function of the \bibtype{inbook} type of traditional \bibtex, see \secref{bib:use:inb} for details.
+
+\reqitem{author, title, year/date}
+\optitem{editor, editora, editorb, editorc, translator, annotator, commentator, introduction, foreword, afterword, subtitle, titleaddon, maintitle, mainsubtitle, maintitleaddon, language, origlanguage, volume, part, edition, volumes, series, number, note, publisher, location, isbn, eid, chapter, pages, pagetotal, addendum, pubstate, doi, eprint, eprintclass, eprinttype, url, urldate}
+
+\typeitem{mvbook}
+
+A multi"=volume \bibtype{book}. For backwards compatibility, multi"=volume books are also supported by the entry type \bibtype{book}. However, it is advisable to make use of the dedicated entry type \bibtype{mvbook}.
+
+\reqitem{author, title, year/date}
+\optitem{editor, editora, editorb, editorc, translator, annotator, commentator, introduction, foreword, afterword, subtitle, titleaddon, language, origlanguage, edition, volumes, series, number, note, publisher, location, isbn, pagetotal, addendum, pubstate, doi, eprint, eprintclass, eprinttype, url, urldate}
+
+\typeitem{inbook}
+
+A part of a book which forms a self"=contained unit with its own title. Note that the profile of this entry type is different from standard \bibtex, see \secref{bib:use:inb}.
+
+\reqitem{author, title, booktitle, year/date}
+\optitem{bookauthor, editor, editora, editorb, editorc, translator, annotator, commentator, introduction, foreword, afterword, subtitle, titleaddon, maintitle, mainsubtitle, maintitleaddon, booksubtitle, booktitleaddon, language, origlanguage, volume, part, edition, volumes, series, number, note, publisher, location, isbn, eid, chapter, pages, addendum, pubstate, doi, eprint, eprintclass, eprinttype, url, urldate}
+
+\typeitem{bookinbook}
+
+This type is similar to \bibtype{inbook} but intended for works originally published as a stand-alone book. A typical example are books reprinted in the collected works of an author.
+
+\typeitem{suppbook}
+
+Supplemental material in a \bibtype{book}. This type is closely related to the \bibtype{inbook} entry type. While \bibtype{inbook} is primarily intended for a part of a book with its own title (\eg a single essay in a collection of essays by the same author), this type is provided for elements such as prefaces, introductions, forewords, afterwords, etc. which often have a generic title only. Style guides may require such items to be formatted differently from other \bibtype{inbook} items. The standard styles will treat this entry type as an alias for \bibtype{inbook}.
+
+\typeitem{booklet}
+
+A book"=like work without a formal publisher or sponsoring institution. Use the field \bibfield{howpublished} to supply publishing information in free format, if applicable. The field \bibfield{type} may be useful as well.
+
+\reqitem{author/editor, title, year/date}
+\optitem{subtitle, titleaddon, language, howpublished, type, note, location, eid, chapter, pages, pagetotal, addendum, pubstate, doi, eprint, eprintclass, eprinttype, url, urldate}
+
+\typeitem{collection}
+
+A single"=volume collection with multiple, self"=contained contributions by distinct authors which have their own title. The work as a whole has no overall author but it will usually have an editor.
+
+\reqitem{editor, title, year/date}
+\optitem{editora, editorb, editorc, translator, annotator, commentator, introduction, foreword, afterword, subtitle, titleaddon, maintitle, mainsubtitle, maintitleaddon, language, origlanguage, volume, part, edition, volumes, series, number, note, publisher, location, isbn, eid, chapter, pages, pagetotal, addendum, pubstate, doi, eprint, eprintclass, eprinttype, url, urldate}
+
+\typeitem{mvcollection}
+
+A multi"=volume \bibtype{collection}. For backwards compatibility, multi"=volume collections are also supported by the entry type \bibtype{collection}. However, it is advisable to make use of the dedicated entry type \bibtype{mvcollection}.
+
+\reqitem{editor, title, year/date}
+\optitem{editora, editorb, editorc, translator, annotator, commentator, introduction, foreword, afterword, subtitle, titleaddon, language, origlanguage, edition, volumes, series, number, note, publisher, location, isbn, pagetotal, addendum, pubstate, doi, eprint, eprintclass, eprinttype, url, urldate}
+
+\typeitem{incollection}
+
+A contribution to a collection which forms a self"=contained unit with a distinct author and title. The \bibfield{author} refers to the \bibfield{title}, the \bibfield{editor} to the \bibfield{booktitle}, \ie the title of the collection.
+
+\reqitem{author, title, editor, booktitle, year/date}
+\optitem{editor, editora, editorb, editorc, translator, annotator, commentator, introduction, foreword, afterword, subtitle, titleaddon, maintitle, mainsubtitle, maintitleaddon, booksubtitle, booktitleaddon, language, origlanguage, volume, part, edition, volumes, series, number, note, publisher, location, isbn, eid, chapter, pages, addendum, pubstate, doi, eprint, eprintclass, eprinttype, url, urldate}
+
+\typeitem{suppcollection}
+
+Supplemental material in a \bibtype{collection}. This type is similar to \bibtype{suppbook} but related to the \bibtype{collection} entry type. The standard styles will treat this entry type as an alias for \bibtype{incollection}.
+
+\typeitem{dataset}
+
+A data set or a similar collection of (mostly) raw data.
+
+\reqitem{author/editor, title, year/date}
+\optitem{subtitle, titleaddon, language, edition, type, series, number, version, note, organization, publisher, location, addendum, pubstate, doi, eprint, eprintclass, eprinttype, url, urldate}
+
+\typeitem{manual}
+
+Technical or other documentation, not necessarily in printed form. The \bibfield{author} or \bibfield{editor} is omissible in terms of \secref{bib:use:key}.
+
+\reqitem{author/editor, title, year/date}
+\optitem{subtitle, titleaddon, language, edition, type, series, number, version, note, organization, publisher, location, isbn, eid, chapter, pages, pagetotal, addendum, pubstate, doi, eprint, eprintclass, eprinttype, url, urldate}
+
+\typeitem{misc}
+
+A fallback type for entries which do not fit into any other category. Use the field \bibfield{howpublished} to supply publishing information in free format, if applicable. The field \bibfield{type} may be useful as well. \bibfield{author}, \bibfield{editor}, and \bibfield{year} are omissible in terms of \secref{bib:use:key}.
+
+\reqitem{author/editor, title, year/date}
+\optitem{subtitle, titleaddon, language, howpublished, type, version, note, organization, location, month, addendum, pubstate, doi, eprint, eprintclass, eprinttype, url, urldate}
+
+\typeitem{online}
+
+An online resource. \bibfield{author}, \bibfield{editor}, and \bibfield{year} are omissible in terms of \secref{bib:use:key}. This entry type is intended for sources such as web sites which are intrinsically online resources. Note that all entry types support the \bibfield{url} field. For example, when adding an article from an online journal, it may be preferable to use the \bibtype{article} type and its \bibfield{url} field.
+
+\reqitem{author/editor, title, year/date, doi/eprint/url}
+\optitem{subtitle, titleaddon, language, version, note, organization, month, addendum, pubstate, eprintclass, eprinttype, urldate}
+
+\typeitem{patent}
+
+A patent or patent request. The number or record token is given in the \bibfield{number} field. Use the \bibfield{type} field to specify the type and the \bibfield{location} field to indicate the scope of the patent, if different from the scope implied by the \bibfield{type}. Note that the \bibfield{location} field is treated as a key list with this entry type, see \secref{bib:fld:typ} for details.
+
+\reqitem{author, title, number, year/date}
+\optitem{holder, subtitle, titleaddon, type, version, location, note, month, addendum, pubstate, doi, eprint, eprintclass, eprinttype, url, urldate}
+
+\typeitem{periodical}
+
+An complete issue of a periodical, such as a special issue of a journal. The title of the periodical is given in the \bibfield{title} field. If the issue has its own title in addition to the main title of the periodical, it goes in the \bibfield{issuetitle} field. The \bibfield{editor} is omissible in terms of \secref{bib:use:key}.
+
+\reqitem{editor, title, year/date}
+\optitem{editora, editorb, editorc, subtitle, titleaddon, issuetitle, issuesubtitle, issuetitleaddon, language, series, volume, number, issue, month, note, issn, addendum, pubstate, doi, eprint, eprintclass, eprinttype, url, urldate}
+
+\typeitem{suppperiodical}
+
+Supplemental material in a \bibtype{periodical}. This type is similar to \bibtype{suppbook} but related to the \bibtype{periodical} entry type. The role of this entry type may be more obvious if you bear in mind that the \bibtype{article} type could also be called \bibtype{inperiodical}. This type may be useful when referring to items such as regular columns, obituaries, letters to the editor, etc. which only have a generic title. Style guides may require such items to be formatted differently from articles in the strict sense of the word. The standard styles will treat this entry type as an alias for \bibtype{article}.
+
+\typeitem{proceedings}
+
+A single"=volume conference proceedings. This type is very similar to \bibtype{collection}. It supports an optional \bibfield{organization} field which holds the sponsoring institution. The \bibfield{editor} is omissible in terms of \secref{bib:use:key}.
+
+\reqitem{title, year/date}
+\optitem{editor, subtitle, titleaddon, maintitle, mainsubtitle, maintitleaddon, eventtitle, eventtitleaddon, eventdate, venue, language, volume, part, volumes, series, number, note, organization, publisher, location, month, isbn, eid, chapter, pages, pagetotal, addendum, pubstate, doi, eprint, eprintclass, eprinttype, url, urldate}
+
+\typeitem{mvproceedings}
+
+A multi"=volume \bibtype{proceedings} entry. For backwards compatibility, multi"=volume proceedings are also supported by the entry type \bibtype{proceedings}. However, it is advisable to make use of the dedicated entry type \bibtype{mvproceedings}
+
+\reqitem{title, year/date}
+\optitem{editor, subtitle, titleaddon, eventtitle, eventtitleaddon, eventdate, venue, language, volumes, series, number, note, organization, publisher, location, month, isbn, pagetotal, addendum, pubstate, doi, eprint, eprintclass, eprinttype, url, urldate}
+
+\typeitem{inproceedings}
+
+An article in a conference proceedings. This type is similar to \bibtype{incollection}. It supports an optional \bibfield{organization} field.
+
+\reqitem{author, title, booktitle, year/date}
+\optitem{editor, subtitle, titleaddon, maintitle, mainsubtitle, maintitleaddon, booksubtitle, booktitleaddon, eventtitle, eventtitleaddon, eventdate, venue, language, volume, part, volumes, series, number, note, organization, publisher, location, month, isbn, eid, chapter, pages, addendum, pubstate, doi, eprint, eprintclass, eprinttype, url, urldate}
+
+\typeitem{reference}
+
+A single"=volume work of reference such as an encyclopedia or a dictionary. This is a more specific variant of the generic \bibtype{collection} entry type. The standard styles will treat this entry type as an alias for \bibtype{collection}.
+
+\typeitem{mvreference}
+
+A multi"=volume \bibtype{reference} entry. The standard styles will treat this entry type as an alias for \bibtype{mvcollection}. For backwards compatibility, multi"=volume references are also supported by the entry type \bibtype{reference}. However, it is advisable to make use of the dedicated entry type \bibtype{mvreference}.
+
+\typeitem{inreference}
+
+An article in a work of reference. This is a more specific variant of the generic \bibtype{incollection} entry type. The standard styles will treat this entry type as an alias for \bibtype{incollection}.
+
+\typeitem{report}
+
+A technical report, research report, or white paper published by a university or some other institution. Use the \bibfield{type} field to specify the type of report. The sponsoring institution goes in the \bibfield{institution} field.

+\typeitem{set}
+
+An entry set. This entry type is special, see \secref{use:use:set} for details.
+
+\typeitem{software}
+
+Computer software. The standard styles will treat this entry type as an alias for \bibtype{misc}.
+
+\typeitem{thesis}
+
+A thesis written for an educational institution to satisfy the requirements for a degree. Use the \bibfield{type} field to specify the type of thesis.

+\optitem{subtitle, titleaddon, language, note, location, month, isbn, eid, chapter, pages, pagetotal, addendum, pubstate, doi, eprint, eprintclass, eprinttype, url, urldate}
+
+\typeitem{unpublished}
+
+A work with an author and a title which has not been formally published, such as a manuscript or the script of a talk. Use the fields \bibfield{howpublished} and \bibfield{note} to supply additional information in free format, if applicable.
+
+\reqitem{author, title, year/date}

+
+\typeitem{xdata}
+
+This entry type is special. \bibtype{xdata} entries hold data which may be inherited by other entries using the \bibfield{xdata} field. Entries of this type only serve as data containers; they may not be cited or added to the bibliography. See \secref{use:use:xdat} for details.
+
+\typeitem{custom[a--f]}
+
+Custom types for special bibliography styles. The standard styles defined no bibliography drivers for these types and will fall back to using the driver for \bibtype{misc}.
+
+\end{typelist}
+
+\subsubsection{Type Aliases}
+\label{bib:typ:als}
+
+The entry types listed in this section are provided for backwards compatibility with traditional \bibtex styles. These aliases are resolved by the backend as the data is processed. \biblatex and the styles will see only the entry type the alias points to (the target), not the alias name (the source). In particular \biblatex-side per-type operations like type-specific formatting and filtering only work for the target type, not the source type. This <hard alias> is unlike the <soft alias> relation in the previous subsection. The relevant mappings for the \opt{bibtex} driver can be found in~\secref{apx:maps:bibtex}.
+
+\begin{typelist}
+
+\typeitem{conference} A legacy alias for \bibtype{inproceedings}.
+
+\typeitem{electronic} An alias for \bibtype{online}.
+
+\typeitem{mastersthesis} Similar to \bibtype{thesis} except that the \bibfield{type} field is optional and defaults to the localised term <Master's thesis>. You may still use the \bibfield{type} field to override that.
+
+\typeitem{phdthesis} Similar to \bibtype{thesis} except that the \bibfield{type} field is optional and defaults to the localised term <PhD thesis>. You may still use the \bibfield{type} field to override that.
+
+\typeitem{techreport} Similar to \bibtype{report} except that the \bibfield{type} field is optional and defaults to the localised term <technical report>. You may still use the \bibfield{type} field to override that.
+
+\typeitem{www}
+
+An alias for \bibtype{online}, provided for \sty{jurabib} compatibility.
+
+\end{typelist}
+
+\subsubsection{Non-standard Types}
+\label{bib:typ:ctm}
+
+The types in this section are similar to the custom types \bibtype{custom[a--f]}, \ie the standard bibliography styles provide no bibliography drivers for these types. In the standard styles they will use the bibliography driver for \bibtype{misc} entries---exceptions to this rule are noted in the descriptions below. The types are known to the default data model and will be happily accepted by \biber.
+
+\begin{typelist}
+
+\typeitem{artwork}
+
+Works of the visual arts such as paintings, sculpture, and installations.
+
+\typeitem{audio}
+
+Audio recordings, typically on audio \acr{CD}, \acr{DVD}, audio cassette, or similar media. See also \bibtype{music}.
+
+\typeitem{bibnote}
+
+This special entry type is not meant to be used in the \file{bib} file like other types. It is provided for third-party packages like \sty{notes2bib} which merge notes into the bibliography. The notes should go into the \bibfield{note} field. Be advised that the \bibtype{bibnote} type is not related to the \cmd{defbibnote} command in any way. \cmd{defbibnote} is for adding comments at the beginning or the end of the bibliography, whereas the \bibtype{bibnote} type is meant for packages which render endnotes as bibliography entries.
+
+\typeitem{commentary}
+
+Commentaries which have a status different from regular books, such as legal commentaries.
+
+\typeitem{image}
+
+Images, pictures, photographs, and similar media.
+
+\typeitem{jurisdiction}
+
+Court decisions, court recordings, and similar things.
+
+\typeitem{legislation}
+
+Laws, bills, legislative proposals, and similar things.
+
+\typeitem{legal}
+
+Legal documents such as treaties.
+
+\typeitem{letter}
+
+Personal correspondence such as letters, emails, memoranda, etc.
+
+\typeitem{movie}
+
+Motion pictures. See also \bibtype{video}.
+
+\typeitem{music}
+
+Musical recordings. This is a more specific variant of \bibtype{audio}.
+
+\typeitem{performance}
+
+Musical and theatrical performances as well as other works of the performing arts. This type refers to the event as opposed to a recording, a score, or a printed play.
+
+\typeitem{review}
+
+Reviews of some other work. This is a more specific variant of the \bibtype{article} type. The standard styles will treat this entry type as an alias for \bibtype{article}.
+
+\typeitem{standard}
+
+National and international standards issued by a standards body such as the International Organization for Standardization.
+
+\typeitem{video}
+
+Audiovisual recordings, typically on \acr{DVD}, \acr{VHS} cassette, or similar media. See also \bibtype{movie}.
+
+\end{typelist}
+
+\subsection{Entry Fields}
+\label{bib:fld}
+
+This section gives an overview of the fields supported by the \biblatex default data model. See \secref{bib:fld:typ} for an introduction to the data types used by the data model specification and \secref{bib:fld:dat, bib:fld:spc} for the actual field listings.
+
+\subsubsection{Data Types}
+\label{bib:fld:typ}
+
+In datasources such as a \file{bib} file, all bibliographic data is specified in fields. Some of those fields, for example \bibfield{author} and \bibfield{editor}, may contain a list of items. This list structure is implemented by the \bibtex file format via the keyword <|and|>, which is used to separate the individual items in the list. The \biblatex package implements three distinct data types to handle bibliographic data: name lists, literal lists, and fields. There are also several list and field subtypes and a content type which can be used to semantically distinguish fields which are otherwise not distinguishable on the basis of only their datatype (see \secref{aut:ctm:dm}). This section gives an overview of the data types supported by this package. See \secref{bib:fld:dat, bib:fld:spc} for information about the mapping of the \bibtex file format fields to \biblatex's data types.
+
+Entry fields of any data type may be multiscript entry fields which means that they can have multiple <alternates> which are combinations of a multiscript <form> and <language>. Multiscript entry fields must be declared to be such in the data model. See \ref{use:multiscript}.
+
+\begin{description}
+
+\item[Name lists] are parsed and split up into the individual items at the \texttt{and} delimiter. Each item in the list is then dissected into the name part components: by default the given name, the name prefix (von, van, of, da, de, della, \dots), the family name, and the name suffix (junior, senior, \dots). The valid name parts can be customised by changing the datamodel definition described in \secref{aut:bbx:drv}. Name lists may be truncated in the \file{bib} file with the keyword <\texttt{and others}>. Typical examples of name lists are \bibfield{author} and \bibfield{editor}.
+
+Name list fields automatically have an \cmd{ifuse*} test created as per the name lists in the default data model (see \secref{aut:aux:tst}). They are also automatically have a \opt{ifuse*} option created which controls labelling and sorting behaviour with the name (see \secref{use:opt:bib:hyb}). \biber supports a customisable set of name parts but currently this is defined to be the same set of parts as supported by traditional \bibtex:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Family name (also known as <last> part)
+\item Given name (also known as <first> part)
+\item Name prefix (also known as <von> part)
+\item Name suffix (also known as <Jr> part)
+\end{itemize}
+
+The supported list of name parts is defined as a constant list in the default data model using the \cmd{DeclareDatamodelConstant} command (see \secref{aut:ctm:dm}). However, it is not enough to simply add to this list in order to add support for another name part as name parts typically have to be hard coded into bibliography drivers and the backend processing. See the example file \file{93-nameparts.tex} for details on how to define and use custom name parts. Also see \cmd{DeclareUniquenameTemplate} in \secref{aut:cav:amb} for information on how to customise name disambiguation using custom name parts.
+
+\item[Literal lists] are parsed and split up into the individual items at the \texttt{and} delimiter but not dissected further. Literal lists may be truncated in the \file{bib} file with the keyword <\texttt{and others}>. There are two subtypes:
+
+\begin{description}
+
+\item[Literal lists] in the strict sense are handled as described above. The individual items are simply printed as is. Typical examples of such literal lists are \bibfield{publisher} and \bibfield{location}.
+
+\item[Key lists] are a variant of literal lists which may hold printable data or localisation keys. For each item in the list, styles should perform a test to determine whether it is a known localisation key (the localisation keys defined by default are listed in \secref{aut:lng:key}). If so, the localised string should be printed. If not, the item should be printed as is. The standard styles are set up to exhibit this behaviour for all key lists listed below. New key lists do not automatically perform this test, it has to be implemented explicitly via the list format. A typical example of a key list is \bibfield{language}.
+
+\end{description}
+\end{description}
+
+\begin{description}
+
+\item[Fields] are usually printed as a whole. There are several subtypes:
+
+\begin{description}
+
+\item[Literal fields] are printed as is. Typical examples of literal fields are \bibfield{title} and \bibfield{note}.
+
+\item[Range fields] consist of one or more ranges where all dashes are normalized and replaced by the command \cmd{bibrangedash}. A range is something optionally followed by one or more dashes optionally followed by some non-dash (e.g. \texttt{5--7}). Any number of consecutive dashes will only yield a single range dash. A typical example of a range field is the \bibfield{pages} field. See also the \cmd{bibrangessep} command which can be used to customise the separator between multiple ranges. Range fields will be skipped and will generate a warning if they do not consist of one or more ranges. You can normalise messy range fields before they are parsed using \cmd{DeclareSourcemap} (see \secref{aut:ctm:map}).
+
+\item[Integer fields] hold integers which may be converted to ordinals or strings as they are printed. A typical example is the \bibfield{extradate} or \bibfield{volume} field. Such fields are sorted as integers. \biber makes a (quite serious) effort to map non-arabic representations (roman numerals for example) to integers for sorting purposes. See the \opt{noroman} option which can be used to suppress roman numeral parsing. This can help in cases where there is an ambiguity between parsing as roman numerals or alphanumeric (e.g. <C>), see \secref{use:opt:pre:int}.
+
+\item[Datepart fields] hold unformatted integers which may be converted to ordinals or strings as they are printed. A typical example is the \bibfield{month} field. For every field of datatype \bibfield{date} in the datamodel, datepart fields are automatically created with the following names: \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$year}, \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$endyear}, \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$month}, \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$endmonth}, \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$day}, \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$endday}, \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$hour}, \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$endhour}, \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$minute}, \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$endminute}, \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$second}, \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$endsecond}, \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$timezone}, \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$endtimezone}. $<$datetype$>$ is the string preceding <date> for any datamodel field of \kvopt{datatype}{date}. For example, in the default datamodel, <event>, <orig>, <url> and the empty string <> for the date field \bibfield{date}.
+
+\item[Date fields] hold a date specification in \texttt{yyyy-mm-ddThh:nn[+|-][hh[:nn]|Z]} format or a date range in \texttt{yyyy-mm-ddThh:nn[+|-][hh[:nn]|Z]/yyyy-mm-ddThh:nn[+|-][hh[:nn]|Z]} format and other formats permitted by \acr{ISO8601-2} Clause 4, level 1, see \secref{bib:use:dat}. Date fields are special in that the date is parsed and split up into its datepart type components. The \bibfield{datepart} components (see above) are automatically defined and recognised when a field of datatype \bibfield{date} is defined in the datamodel. A typical example is the \bibfield{date} field.
+
+\item[Verbatim fields] are processed in verbatim mode and may contain special characters. Typical examples of verbatim fields are \bibfield{file} and \bibfield{doi}.
+
+\item[URI fields] are processed in verbatim mode and may contain special characters. They are also URL-escaped if they don't look like they already are. The typical example of a uri field is \bibfield{url}.
+
+\item[Separated value fields] A separated list of literal values. Examples are the \bibfield{keywords} and \bibfield{options} fields. The separator can be configured to be any Perl regular expression via the \opt{xsvsep} option which defaults to the usual \bibtex comma surrounded by optional whitespace.
+
+\item[Pattern fields] A literal field which must match a particular pattern. An example is the \bibfield{gender} field from \secref{bib:fld:spc}.
+
+\item[Key fields] May hold printable data or localisation keys. Styles should perform a test to determine whether the value of the field is a known localisation key (the localisation keys defined by default are listed in \secref{aut:lng:key}). If so, the localised string should be printed. If not, the value should be printed as is. The standard styles are set up to handle all key fields listed below in that way. New key fields do not automatically perform the test, it has to be enabled explicitly in the field format. A typical example is the \bibfield{type} field.
+
+\item[Code fields] Holds \tex code.
+

+
+\subsubsection{Data Fields}
+\label{bib:fld:dat}
+
+The fields listed in this section are the regular ones holding printable data in the default data model. The name on the left is the default data model name of the field as used by \biblatex and its backend. The \biblatex data type is given to the right of the name. See \secref{bib:fld:typ} for explanation of the various data types.
+
+Some fields are marked as <label> fields which means that they are often used as abbreviation labels when printing bibliography lists in the sense of section \secref{use:bib:biblist}. \biblatex automatically creates supporting macros for such fields. See \secref{use:bib:biblist}.
+
+\begin{fieldlist}
+
+\fielditem{abstract}{literal}
+
+This field is intended for recording abstracts in a \file{bib} file, to be printed by a special bibliography style. It is not used by all standard bibliography styles.
+
+\fielditem{addendum}{literal}
+
+Miscellaneous bibliographic data to be printed at the end of the entry. This is similar to the \bibfield{note} field except that it is printed at the end of the bibliography entry.
+
+\listitem{afterword}{name}
+
+The author(s) of an afterword to the work. If the author of the afterword is identical to the \bibfield{editor} and\slash or \bibfield{translator}, the standard styles will automatically concatenate these fields in the bibliography. See also \bibfield{introduction} and \bibfield{foreword}.
+
+\fielditem{annotation}{literal}
+
+This field may be useful when implementing a style for annotated bibliographies. It is not used by all standard bibliography styles. Note that this field is completely unrelated to \bibfield{annotator}. The \bibfield{annotator} is the author of annotations which are part of the work cited.
+
+\listitem{annotator}{name}
+
+The author(s) of annotations to the work. If the annotator is identical to the \bibfield{editor} and\slash or \bibfield{translator}, the standard styles will automatically concatenate these fields in the bibliography. See also \bibfield{commentator}.
+
+\listitem{author}{name}
+
+The author(s) of the \bibfield{title}.
+
+\fielditem{authortype}{key}
+
+The type of author. This field will affect the string (if any) used to introduce the author.
+
+\listitem{bookauthor}{name}
+
+The author(s) of the \bibfield{booktitle}.
+
+\fielditem{bookpagination}{key}
+
+If the work is published as part of another one, this is the pagination scheme of the enclosing work, \ie \bibfield{bookpagination} relates to \bibfield{pagination} like \bibfield{booktitle} to \bibfield{title}. The value of this field will affect the formatting of the \bibfield{pages} and \bibfield{pagetotal} fields. The key should be given in the singular form. Possible keys are \texttt{page}, \texttt{column}, \texttt{line}, \texttt{verse}, \texttt{section}, and \texttt{paragraph}. See also \bibfield{pagination} as well as \secref{bib:use:pag}.
+
+\fielditem{booksubtitle}{literal}
+
+The subtitle related to the \bibfield{booktitle}. If the \bibfield{subtitle} field refers to a work which is part of a larger publication, a possible subtitle of the main work is given in this field. See also \bibfield{subtitle}.
+
+\fielditem{booktitle}{literal}
+
+If the \bibfield{title} field indicates the title of a work which is part of a larger publication, the title of the main work is given in this field. See also \bibfield{title}.
+
+\fielditem{booktitleaddon}{literal}
+
+An annex to the \bibfield{booktitle}, to be printed in a different font.
+
+\fielditem{chapter}{literal}
+
+A chapter or section or any other unit of a work.
+
+\listitem{commentator}{name}
+
+The author(s) of a commentary to the work. Note that this field is intended for commented editions which have a commentator in addition to the author. If the work is a stand"=alone commentary, the commentator should be given in the \bibfield{author} field. If the commentator is identical to the \bibfield{editor} and\slash or \bibfield{translator}, the standard styles will automatically concatenate these fields in the bibliography. See also \bibfield{annotator}.
+
+\fielditem{date}{date}
+
+The publication date. See also \bibfield{month} and \bibfield{year} as well as \secref{bib:use:dat,bib:use:yearordate}.
+
+\fielditem{doi}{verbatim}
+
+The Digital Object Identifier of the work.
+
+\fielditem{edition}{integer or literal}
+
+The edition of a printed publication. This must be an integer, not an ordinal. Don't say |edition={First}| or |edition={1st}| but |edition={1}|. The bibliography style converts this to a language dependent ordinal. It is also possible to give the edition as a literal string, for example «Third, revised and expanded edition».
+
+\listitem{editor}{name}
+
+The editor(s) of the \bibfield{title}, \bibfield{booktitle}, or \bibfield{maintitle}, depending on the entry type. Use the \bibfield{editortype} field to specify the role if it is different from <\texttt{editor}>. See \secref{bib:use:edr} for further hints.
+
+\listitem{editora}{name}
+
+A secondary editor performing a different editorial role, such as compiling, redacting, etc. Use the \bibfield{editoratype} field to specify the role. See \secref{bib:use:edr} for further hints.
+
+\listitem{editorb}{name}
+
+Another secondary editor performing a different role. Use the \bibfield{editorbtype} field to specify the role. See \secref{bib:use:edr} for further hints.
+
+\listitem{editorc}{name}
+
+Another secondary editor performing a different role. Use the \bibfield{editorctype} field to specify the role. See \secref{bib:use:edr} for further hints.
+
+\fielditem{editortype}{key}
+
+The type of editorial role performed by the \bibfield{editor}. Roles supported by default are \texttt{editor}, \texttt{compiler}, \texttt{founder}, \texttt{continuator}, \texttt{redactor}, \texttt{reviser}, \texttt{collaborator}, \texttt{organizer}. The role <\texttt{editor}> is the default. In this case, the field is omissible. See \secref{bib:use:edr} for further hints.
+
+\fielditem{editoratype}{key}
+
+Similar to \bibfield{editortype} but referring to the \bibfield{editora} field. See \secref{bib:use:edr} for further hints.
+
+\fielditem{editorbtype}{key}
+
+Similar to \bibfield{editortype} but referring to the \bibfield{editorb} field. See \secref{bib:use:edr} for further hints.
+
+\fielditem{editorctype}{key}
+
+Similar to \bibfield{editortype} but referring to the \bibfield{editorc} field. See \secref{bib:use:edr} for further hints.
+
+\fielditem{eid}{literal}
+
+The electronic identifier of an \bibtype{article} or chapter-like section of a larger work often called <article number>, <paper number> or the like. This field may replace the \bibfield{pages} field for journals deviating from the classic pagination scheme of printed journals by only enumerating articles or papers and not pages.
+
+Not to be confused with \bibfield{number}, which for \bibtype{article}s subdivides the \bibfield{volume}.
+
+\fielditem{entrysubtype}{literal}
+
+This field, which is not used by the standard styles, may be used to specify a subtype of an entry type. This may be useful for bibliography styles which support a finer"=grained set of entry types.
+
+\fielditem{eprint}{verbatim}
+
+The electronic identifier of an online publication. This is roughly comparable to a \acr{doi} but specific to a certain archive, repository, service, or system. See \secref{use:use:epr} for details. Also see \bibfield{eprinttype} and \bibfield{eprintclass}.
+
+\fielditem{eprintclass}{literal}
+
+Additional information related to the resource indicated by the \bibfield{eprinttype} field. This could be a section of an archive, a path indicating a service, a classification of some sort, etc. See \secref{use:use:epr} for details. Also see \bibfield{eprint} and \bibfield{eprinttype}.
+
+\fielditem{eprinttype}{literal}
+
+The type of \bibfield{eprint} identifier, \eg the name of the archive, repository, service, or system the \bibfield{eprint} field refers to. See \secref{use:use:epr} for details. Also see \bibfield{eprint} and \bibfield{eprintclass}.
+
+\fielditem{eventdate}{date}
+
+The date of a conference, a symposium, or some other event in \bibtype{proceedings} and \bibtype{inproceedings} entries. This field may also be useful for the custom types listed in \secref{bib:typ:ctm}. See also \bibfield{eventtitle} and \bibfield{venue} as well as \secref{bib:use:dat}.
+
+\fielditem{eventtitle}{literal}
+
+The title of a conference, a symposium, or some other event in \bibtype{proceedings} and \bibtype{inproceedings} entries. This field may also be useful for the custom types listed in \secref{bib:typ:ctm}. Note that this field holds the plain title of the event. Things like «Proceedings of the Fifth XYZ Conference» go into the \bibfield{titleaddon} or \bibfield{booktitleaddon} field, respectively. See also \bibfield{eventdate} and \bibfield{venue}.
+
+\fielditem{eventtitleaddon}{literal}
+
+An annex to the \bibfield{eventtitle} field. Can be used for known event acronyms, for example.
+
+\fielditem{file}{verbatim}
+
+A local link to a \acr{pdf} or other version of the work. Not used by the standard bibliography styles.
+
+\listitem{foreword}{name}
+
+The author(s) of a foreword to the work. If the author of the foreword is identical to the \bibfield{editor} and\slash or \bibfield{translator}, the standard styles will automatically concatenate these fields in the bibliography. See also \bibfield{introduction} and \bibfield{afterword}.
+
+\listitem{holder}{name}
+
+The holder(s) of a \bibtype{patent}, if different from the \bibfield{author}. Note that corporate holders need to be wrapped in an additional set of braces, see \secref{bib:use:inc} for details. This list may also be useful for the custom types listed in \secref{bib:typ:ctm}.
+
+\fielditem{howpublished}{literal}
+
+A publication notice for unusual publications which do not fit into any of the common categories.
+
+\fielditem{indextitle}{literal}
+
+A title to use for indexing instead of the regular \bibfield{title} field. This field may be useful if you have an entry with a title like «An Introduction to \dots» and want that indexed as «Introduction to \dots, An». Style authors should note that \biblatex automatically copies the value of the \bibfield{title} field to \bibfield{indextitle} if the latter field is undefined. It the \bibfield{title} field is a multiscript field (it is in the default datamodel), then the currently active multiscript form and language (if the entry has a \bibfield{langid} field, this is used to override the currently active multiscript language) are used to determine which alternate to copy to the \bibfield{indextitle} field. If this default behaviour is not what is required, use an explicit \bibfield{indextitle} field in the entry.
+
+\listitem{institution}{literal}
+
+The name of a university or some other institution, depending on the entry type. Traditional \bibtex uses the field name \bibfield{school} for theses, which is supported as an alias. See also \secref{bib:fld:als, bib:use:and}.
+
+\listitem{introduction}{name}
+
+The author(s) of an introduction to the work. If the author of the introduction is identical to the \bibfield{editor} and\slash or \bibfield{translator}, the standard styles will automatically concatenate these fields in the bibliography. See also \bibfield{foreword} and \bibfield{afterword}.
+
+\fielditem{isan}{literal}
+
+The International Standard Audiovisual Number of an audiovisual work. Not used by the standard bibliography styles.
+
+\fielditem{isbn}{literal}
+
+The International Standard Book Number of a book.
+
+\fielditem{ismn}{literal}
+
+The International Standard Music Number for printed music such as musical scores. Not used by the standard bibliography styles.
+
+\fielditem{isrn}{literal}
+
+The International Standard Technical Report Number of a technical report.
+
+\fielditem{issn}{literal}
+
+The International Standard Serial Number of a periodical.
+
+\fielditem{issue}{literal}
+
+The issue of a journal. This field is intended for journals whose individual issues are identified by a designation such as <Spring> or <Summer> rather than the month or a number. The placement of \bibfield{issue} is similar to \bibfield{month} and \bibfield{number}. Integer ranges and short designators are better written to the \bibfield{number} field. See also \bibfield{month}, \bibfield{number} and \secref{bib:use:iss, bib:use:issnum}.
+
+\fielditem{issuesubtitle}{literal}
+
+The subtitle of a specific issue of a journal or other periodical.
+
+\fielditem{issuetitle}{literal}
+
+The title of a specific issue of a journal or other periodical.
+
+\fielditem{issuetitleaddon}{literal}
+
+An annex to the \bibfield{issuetitle}, to be printed in a different font.
+
+\fielditem{iswc}{literal}
+
+The International Standard Work Code of a musical work. Not used by the standard bibliography styles.
+
+\fielditem{journalsubtitle}{literal}
+
+The subtitle of a journal, a newspaper, or some other periodical.
+
+\fielditem{journaltitle}{literal}
+
+The name of a journal, a newspaper, or some other periodical.
+
+\fielditem{journaltitleaddon}{literal}
+
+An annex to the \bibfield{journaltitle}, to be printed in a different font.
+
+
+\fielditem{label}{literal}
+
+A designation to be used by the citation style as a substitute for the regular label if any data required to generate the regular label is missing. For example, when an author"=year citation style is generating a citation for an entry which is missing the author or the year, it may fall back to \bibfield{label}. See \secref{bib:use:key} for details. Note that, in contrast to \bibfield{shorthand}, \bibfield{label} is only used as a fallback. See also \bibfield{shorthand}.
+
+\listitem{language}{key}
+
+The language(s) of the work. Languages may be specified literally or as localisation keys. If localisation keys are used, the prefix \texttt{lang} is omissible. See also \bibfield{origlanguage} and compare \bibfield{langid} in \secref{bib:fld:spc}.
+
+\fielditem{library}{literal}
+
+This field may be useful to record information such as a library name and a call number. This may be printed by a special bibliography style if desired. Not used by the standard bibliography styles.
+
+\listitem{location}{literal}
+
+The place(s) of publication, \ie the location of the \bibfield{publisher} or \bibfield{institution}, depending on the entry type. Traditional \bibtex uses the field name \bibfield{address}, which is supported as an alias. See also \secref{bib:fld:als, bib:use:and}. With \bibtype{patent} entries, this list indicates the scope of a patent. This list may also be useful for the custom types listed in \secref{bib:typ:ctm}.
+
+\fielditem{mainsubtitle}{literal}
+
+The subtitle related to the \bibfield{maintitle}. See also \bibfield{subtitle}.
+
+\fielditem{maintitle}{literal}
+
+The main title of a multi"=volume book, such as \emph{Collected Works}. If the \bibfield{title} or \bibfield{booktitle} field indicates the title of a single volume which is part of multi"=volume book, the title of the complete work is given in this field.
+
+\fielditem{maintitleaddon}{literal}
+
+An annex to the \bibfield{maintitle}, to be printed in a different font.
+
+\fielditem{month}{literal}
+
+The publication month. This must be an integer, not an ordinal or a string. Don't say |month={January}| but |month={1}|. The bibliography style converts this to a language dependent string or ordinal where required. This field is a literal field only when given
+explicitly in the data (for plain \bibtex compatibility for example). It is
+however better to use the \bibfield{date} field as this supports many more features. See \secref{bib:use:dat,bib:use:yearordate}.
+
+\fielditem{nameaddon}{literal}
+
+An addon to be printed immediately after the author name in the bibliography. Not used by the standard bibliography styles.
+
+\fielditem{note}{literal}
+
+Miscellaneous bibliographic data which does not fit into any other field. The \bibfield{note} field may be used to record bibliographic data in a free format. Publication facts such as «Reprint of the edition London 1831» are typical candidates for the \bibfield{note} field. See also \bibfield{addendum}.
+
+\fielditem{number}{literal}
+
+The number of a journal or the volume\slash number of a book in a \bibfield{series}. See also \bibfield{issue} as well as \secref{bib:use:ser, bib:use:iss, bib:use:issnum}. With \bibtype{patent} entries, this is the number or record token of a patent or patent request. Normally this field will be an integer or an integer range, but it may also be a short designator that is not entirely numeric such as «S1», «Suppl.\ 2», «3es». In these cases the output should be scrutinised carefully.
+
+Since \bibfield{number} is---maybe counterintuitively given its name---a literal field, sorting templates will not treat its contents as integers, but as literal strings, which means that «11» may sort between «1» and «2». If integer sorting is desired, the field can be declared an integer field in a custom data model (see \secref{aut:ctm:dm}). But then the sorting of non-integer values is not well defined.
+
+The <article number> or <paper number>, which can be used instead of---or along with---a page range to pinpoint a specific article within another work, goes into the \bibfield{eid} field.
+
+\listitem{organization}{literal}
+
+The organization(s) that published a \bibtype{manual} or an \bibtype{online} resource, or sponsored a conference. See also \secref{bib:use:and}.
+
+\fielditem{origdate}{date}
+
+If the work is a translation, a reprint, or something similar, the publication date of the original edition. Not used by the standard bibliography styles. See also \bibfield{date}.
+
+\listitem{origlanguage}{key}
+
+If the work is a translation, the language(s) of the original work. See also \bibfield{language}.
+
+\listitem{origlocation}{literal}
+
+If the work is a translation, a reprint, or something similar, the \bibfield{location} of the original edition. Not used by the standard bibliography styles. See also \bibfield{location} and \secref{bib:use:and}.
+
+\listitem{origpublisher}{literal}
+
+If the work is a translation, a reprint, or something similar, the \bibfield{publisher} of the original edition. Not used by the standard bibliography styles. See also \bibfield{publisher} and \secref{bib:use:and}.
+
+\fielditem{origtitle}{literal}
+
+If the work is a translation, the \bibfield{title} of the original work. Not used by the standard bibliography styles. See also \bibfield{title}.
+
+\fielditem{pages}{range}
+
+One or more page numbers or page ranges. If the work is published as part of another one, such as an article in a journal or a collection, this field holds the relevant page range in that other work. It may also be used to limit the reference to a specific part of a work (a chapter in a book, for example). For papers in electronic journals with a non-classical pagination setup the \bibfield{eid} field may be more suitable.
+
+\fielditem{pagetotal}{literal}
+
+The total number of pages of the work.
+
+\fielditem{pagination}{key}
+
+The pagination of the work. The value of this field will affect the formatting the \prm{postnote} argument to a citation command. The key should be given in the singular form. Possible keys are \texttt{page}, \texttt{column}, \texttt{line}, \texttt{verse}, \texttt{section}, and \texttt{paragraph}. See also \bibfield{bookpagination} as well as \secref{bib:use:pag, use:cav:pag}.
+
+\fielditem{part}{literal}
+
+The number of a partial volume. This field applies to books only, not to journals. It may be used when a logical volume consists of two or more physical ones. In this case the number of the logical volume goes in the \bibfield{volume} field and the number of the part of that volume in the \bibfield{part} field. See also \bibfield{volume}.
+
+\listitem{publisher}{literal}
+
+The name(s) of the publisher(s). See also \secref{bib:use:and}.
+
+\fielditem{pubstate}{key}
+
+The publication state of the work, \eg\ <in press>. See \secref{aut:lng:key:pst} for known publication states.
+
+\fielditem{reprinttitle}{literal}
+
+The title of a reprint of the work. Not used by the standard styles.
+
+\fielditem{series}{literal}
+
+The name of a publication series, such as «Studies in \dots», or the number of a journal series. Books in a publication series are usually numbered. The number or volume of a book in a series is given in the \bibfield{number} field. Note that the \bibtype{article} entry type makes use of the \bibfield{series} field as well, but handles it in a special way. See \secref{bib:use:ser} for details.
+
+\listitem{shortauthor}{name\LFMark}
+
+The author(s) of the work, given in an abbreviated form. This field is mainly intended for abbreviated forms of corporate authors, see \secref{bib:use:inc} for details.
+
+\listitem{shorteditor}{name\LFMark}
+
+The editor(s) of the work, given in an abbreviated form. This field is mainly intended for abbreviated forms of corporate editors, see \secref{bib:use:inc} for details.
+
+\fielditem{shorthand}{literal\LFMark}
+
+A special designation to be used by the citation style instead of the usual label. If defined, it overrides the default label. See also \bibfield{label}.
+
+\fielditem{shorthandintro}{literal}
+
+The verbose citation styles which comes with this package use a phrase like «henceforth cited as [shorthand]» to introduce shorthands on the first citation. If the \bibfield{shorthandintro} field is defined, it overrides the standard phrase. Note that the alternative phrase must include the shorthand.
+
+\fielditem{shortjournal}{literal\LFMark}
+
+A short version or an acronym of the \bibfield{journaltitle}. Not used by the standard bibliography styles.
+
+\fielditem{shortseries}{literal\LFMark}
+
+A short version or an acronym of the \bibfield{series} field. Not used by the standard bibliography styles.
+
+\fielditem{shorttitle}{literal\LFMark}
+
+The title in an abridged form. This field is usually not included in the bibliography. It is intended for citations in author"=title format. If present, the author"=title citation styles use this field instead of \bibfield{title}.
+
+\fielditem{subtitle}{literal}
+
+The subtitle of the work.
+
+\fielditem{title}{literal}
+
+The title of the work.
+
+\fielditem{titleaddon}{literal}
+
+An annex to the \bibfield{title}, to be printed in a different font.
+
+\listitem{translator}{name}
+
+The translator(s) of the \bibfield{title} or \bibfield{booktitle}, depending on the entry type. If the translator is identical to the \bibfield{editor}, the standard styles will automatically concatenate these fields in the bibliography.
+
+\fielditem{type}{key}
+
+The type of a \bibfield{manual}, \bibfield{patent}, \bibfield{report}, or \bibfield{thesis}. This field may also be useful for the custom types listed in \secref{bib:typ:ctm}.
+
+\fielditem{url}{uri}
+
+The \acr{URL} of an online publication. If it is not URL-escaped (no <\%> chars) it will be URI-escaped according to RFC 3987, that is, even Unicode chars will be correctly escaped.
+
+\fielditem{urldate}{date}
+
+The access date of the address specified in the \bibfield{url} field. See also \secref{bib:use:dat}.
+
+\fielditem{venue}{literal}
+
+The location of a conference, a symposium, or some other event in \bibtype{proceedings} and \bibtype{inproceedings} entries. This field may also be useful for the custom types listed in \secref{bib:typ:ctm}. Note that the \bibfield{location} list holds the place of publication. It therefore corresponds to the \bibfield{publisher} and \bibfield{institution} lists. The location of the event is given in the \bibfield{venue} field. See also \bibfield{eventdate} and \bibfield{eventtitle}.
+
+\fielditem{version}{literal}
+
+The revision number of a piece of software, a manual, etc.
+
+\fielditem{volume}{integer}
+
+The volume of a multi"=volume book or a periodical. It is expected to be an integer, not necessarily in arabic numerals since \biber will automatically convert from roman numerals or arabic letter to integers internally for sorting purposes. See also \bibfield{part}. See the \opt{noroman} option which can be used to suppress roman numeral parsing. This can help in cases where there is an ambiguity between parsing as roman numerals or alphanumeric (e.g. <C>), see \secref{use:opt:pre:int}.
+
+\fielditem{volumes}{integer}
+
+The total number of volumes of a multi"=volume work. Depending on the entry type, this field refers to \bibfield{title} or \bibfield{maintitle}. It is expected to be an integer, not necessarily in arabic numerals since \biber will automatically convert from roman numerals or arabic letter to integers internally for sorting purposes. See the \opt{noroman} option which can be used to suppress roman numeral parsing. This can help in cases where there is an ambiguity between parsing as roman numerals or alphanumeric (e.g. <C>), see \secref{use:opt:pre:int}.
+
+\fielditem{year}{literal}
+
+The year of publication. This field is a literal field only when given
+explicitly in the data (for plain \bibtex compatibility for example). It is
+however better to use the \bibfield{date} field as this is compatible with
+plain years too and supports many more features. See \secref{bib:use:dat,bib:use:yearordate}.
+
+\end{fieldlist}
+
+\subsubsection{Special Fields}
+\label{bib:fld:spc}
+
+The fields listed in this section do not hold printable data but serve a different purpose. They apply to all entry types in the default data model.
+
+\begin{fieldlist}
+
+\fielditem{crossref}{entry key}
+
+This field holds an entry key for the cross"=referencing feature. Child entries with a \bibfield{crossref} field inherit data from the parent entry specified in the \bibfield{crossref} field. If the number of child entries referencing a specific parent entry hits a certain threshold, the parent entry is automatically added to the bibliography even if it has not been cited explicitly. The threshold is settable with the \opt{mincrossrefs} package option from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}. Style authors should note that whether or not the \bibfield{crossref} fields of the child entries are defined on the \biblatex level depends on the availability of the parent entry. If the parent entry is available, the \bibfield{crossref} fields of the child entries will be defined. If not, the child entries still inherit the data from the parent entry but their \bibfield{crossref} fields will be undefined. Whether the parent entry is added to the bibliography implicitly because of the threshold or explicitly because it has been cited does not matter. See also the \bibfield{xref} field in this section as well as \secref{bib:cav:ref}.
+
+\fielditem{entryset}{separated values}
+
+This field is specific to entry sets. See \secref{use:use:set} for details. This field is consumed by the backend processing and does not appear in the \path{.bbl}.
+
+\fielditem{execute}{code}
+
+A special field which holds arbitrary \tex code to be executed whenever the data of the respective entry is accessed. This may be useful to handle special cases. Conceptually, this field is comparable to the hooks \cmd{AtEveryBibitem}, \cmd{AtEveryLositem}, and \cmd{AtEveryCitekey} from \secref{aut:fmt:hok}, except that it is definable on a per"=entry basis in the \file{bib} file. Any code in this field is executed automatically immediately after these hooks.
+
+\fielditem{gender}{Pattern matching one of: \opt{sf}, \opt{sm}, \opt{sn}, \opt{pf}, \opt{pm}, \opt{pn}, \opt{pp}}
+
+The gender of the author or the gender of the editor, if there is no author. The following identifiers are supported: \opt{sf} (feminine singular, a single female name), \opt{sm} (masculine singular, a single male name), \opt{sn} (neuter singular, a single neuter name), \opt{pf} (feminine plural, a list of female names), \opt{pm} (masculine plural, a list of male names), \opt{pn} (neuter plural, a list of neuter names), \opt{pp} (plural, a mixed gender list of names). This information is only required by special bibliography and citation styles and only in certain languages. For example, a citation style may replace recurrent author names with a term such as <idem>. If the Latin word is used, as is custom in English and French, there is no need to specify the gender. In German publications, however, such key terms are usually given in German and in this case they are gender"=sensitive.

+
+\fielditem{langid}{identifier}
+
+The language id of the bibliography entry. The alias \bibfield{hyphenation} is provided for backwards compatibility. The identifier must be a language name known to the \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} packages. This information may be used to switch hyphenation patterns and localise strings in the bibliography. Note that the language names are case sensitive. The languages currently supported by this package are given in \tabref{bib:fld:tab1}. Note that \sty{babel} treats the identifier \opt{english} as an alias for \opt{british} or \opt{american}, depending on the \sty{babel} version. The \biblatex package always treats it as an alias for \opt{american}. It is preferable to use the language identifiers \opt{american} and \opt{british} (\sty{babel}) or a language specific option to specify a language variant (\sty{polyglossia}, using the \bibfield{langidopts} field) to avoid any possible confusion. Compare \bibfield{language} in \secref{bib:fld:dat}.
+
+\fielditem{langidopts}{literal}
+
+For \sty{polyglossia} users, allows per-entry language specific options. The literal value of this field is passed to \sty{polyglossia}'s language switching facility when using the package option \opt{autolang=langname}. For example, the fields:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+langid = {english},
+langidopts = {variant=british},
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+would wrap the bibliography entry in:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\english[variant=british]
+...
+\endenglish
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+
+\fielditem{ids}{separated list of entrykeys}
+
+Citation key aliases for the main citation key. An entry may be cited by any of its aliases and \biblatex will treat the citation as if it had used the primary citation key. This is to aid users who change their citation keys but have legacy documents which use older keys for the same entry. This field is consumed by the backend processing and does not appear in the \path{.bbl}.
+
+\fielditem{indexsorttitle}{literal}
+
+The title used when sorting the index. In contrast to \bibfield{indextitle}, this field is used for sorting only. The printed title in the index is the \bibfield{indextitle} or the \bibfield{title} field. This field may be useful if the title contains special characters or commands which interfere with the sorting of the index. Consider this example:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+title = {The \LaTeX\ Companion},
+indextitle = {\LaTeX\ Companion, The},
+indexsorttitle = {LATEX Companion},
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Style authors should note that \biblatex automatically copies the value of either the \bibfield{indextitle} or the \bibfield{title} field to \bibfield{indexsorttitle} if the latter field is undefined.
+
+\fielditem{keywords}{separated values}
+
+A separated list of keywords. These keywords are intended for the bibliography filters (see \secref{use:bib:bib, use:use:div}), they are usually not printed. Note that with the default separator (comma), spaces around the separator are ignored.
+
+\fielditem{options}{separated \keyval options}
+
+A separated list of entry options in \keyval notation. This field is used to set options on a per"=entry basis. See \secref{use:opt:bib} for details. Note that citation and bibliography styles may define additional entry options.
+
+\fielditem{presort}{string}
+
+A special field used to modify the sorting order of the bibliography. This field is the first item the sorting routine considers when sorting the bibliography, hence it may be used to arrange the entries in groups. This may be useful when creating subdivided bibliographies with the bibliography filters. Please refer to \secref{use:srt} for further details. Also see \secref{aut:ctm:srt}. This field is consumed by the backend processing and does not appear in the \path{.bbl}.
+
+\fielditem{related}{separated values}
+
+Citation keys of other entries which have a relationship to this entry. The relationship is specified by the \bibfield{relatedtype} field. Please refer to \secref{use:rel} for further details.
+
+\fielditem{relatedoptions}{separated values}
+
+Per"=type options to set for a related entry. Note that this does not set the options on the related entry itself, only the \opt{dataonly} clone which is used as a datasource for the parent entry.
+
+\fielditem{relatedtype}{identifier}
+
+An identifier which specified the type of relationship for the keys listed in the \bibfield{related} field. The identifier is a localised bibliography string printed
+before the data from the related entry list. It is also used to identify type-specific
+formatting directives and bibliography macros for the related entries. Please refer to \secref{use:rel} for further details.
+
+\fielditem{relatedstring}{literal}
+
+A field used to override the bibliography string specified by \bibfield{relatedtype}. Please refer to \secref{use:rel} for further details.
+
+\fielditem{sortkey}{literal}
+
+A field used to modify the sorting order of the bibliography. Think of this field as the master sort key. If present, \biblatex uses this field during sorting and ignores everything else, except for the \bibfield{presort} field. Please refer to \secref{use:srt} for further details. This field is consumed by the backend processing and does not appear in the \path{.bbl}.
+
+\listitem{sortname}{name}
+
+A name or a list of names used to modify the sorting order of the bibliography. If present, this list is used instead of \bibfield{author} or \bibfield{editor} when sorting the bibliography. Please refer to \secref{use:srt} for further details. This field is consumed by the backend processing and does not appear in the \path{.bbl}.
+
+\fielditem{sortshorthand}{literal}
+
+Similar to \bibfield{sortkey} but used in the list of shorthands. If present, \biblatex uses this field instead of \bibfield{shorthand} when sorting the list of shorthands. This is useful if the \bibfield{shorthand} field holds shorthands with formatting commands such as \cmd{emph} or \cmd{textbf}. This field is consumed by the backend processing and does not appear in the \path{.bbl}.
+
+\fielditem{sorttitle}{literal}
+
+A field used to modify the sorting order of the bibliography. If present, this field is used instead of the \bibfield{title} field when sorting the bibliography. The \bibfield{sorttitle} field may come in handy if you have an entry with a title like «An Introduction to\dots» and want that alphabetized under <I> rather than <A>. In this case, you could put «Introduction to\dots» in the \bibfield{sorttitle} field. Please refer to \secref{use:srt} for further details. This field is consumed by the backend processing and does not appear in the \path{.bbl}.
+
+\fielditem{sortyear}{integer}
+
+A field used to modify the sorting order of the bibliography. In the default sorting templates, if this field is present, it is used instead of the \bibfield{year} field when sorting the bibliography. Please refer to \secref{use:srt} for further details. This field is consumed by the backend processing and does not appear in the \path{.bbl}.
+
+\fielditem{xdata}{separated list of entrykeys}
+
+This field inherits data from one or more \bibtype{xdata} entries. Conceptually, the \bibfield{xdata} field is related to \bibfield{crossref} and \bibfield{xref}: \bibfield{crossref} establishes a logical parent/child relation and inherits data; \bibfield{xref} establishes as logical parent/child relation without inheriting data; \bibfield{xdata} inherits data without establishing a relation. The value of the \bibfield{xdata} may be a single entry key or a separated list of keys. See \secref{use:use:xdat} for further details. This field is consumed by the backend processing and does not appear in the \path{.bbl}.
+
+\fielditem{xref}{entry key}
+
+This field is an alternative cross"=referencing mechanism. It differs from \bibfield{crossref} in that the child entry will not inherit any data from the parent entry specified in the \bibfield{xref} field. If the number of child entries referencing a specific parent entry hits a certain threshold, the parent entry is automatically added to the bibliography even if it has not been cited explicitly. The threshold is settable with the \opt{minxrefs} package option from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}. Style authors should note that whether or not the \bibfield{xref} fields of the child entries are defined on the \biblatex level depends on the availability of the parent entry. If the parent entry is available, the \bibfield{xref} fields of the child entries will be defined. If not, their \bibfield{xref} fields will be undefined. Whether the parent entry is added to the bibliography implicitly because of the threshold or explicitly because it has been cited does not matter. See also the \bibfield{crossref} field in this section as well as \secref{bib:cav:ref}.
+
+\end{fieldlist}
+
+\subsubsection{Custom Fields}
+\label{bib:fld:ctm}
+
+The fields listed in this section are intended for special bibliography styles. They are not used by the standard bibliography styles.
+
+\begin{fieldlist}
+
+\listitem{name{[a--c]}}{name}
+
+Custom lists for special bibliography styles. Not used by the standard bibliography styles.
+
+\fielditem{name{[a--c]}type}{key}
+
+Similar to \bibfield{authortype} and \bibfield{editortype} but referring to the fields \bibfield{name{[a--c]}}. Not used by the standard bibliography styles.
+
+\listitem{list{[a--f]}}{literal}
+
+Custom lists for special bibliography styles. Not used by the standard bibliography styles.
+
+\fielditem{user{[a--f]}}{literal}
+
+Custom fields for special bibliography styles. Not used by the standard bibliography styles.
+
+\fielditem{verb{[a--c]}}{literal}
+
+Similar to the custom fields above except that these are verbatim fields. Not used by the standard bibliography styles.
+
+\end{fieldlist}
+
+\subsubsection{Field Aliases}
+\label{bib:fld:als}
+
+The aliases listed in this section are provided for backwards compatibility with traditional \bibtex and other applications based on traditional \bibtex styles. Note that these aliases are immediately resolved as the \file{bib} file is processed. All bibliography and citation styles must use the names of the fields they point to, not the alias. In \file{bib} files, you may use either the alias or the field name but not both at the same time.
+
+\begin{fieldlist}
+
+\listitem{address}{literal}
+
+An alias for \bibfield{location}, provided for \bibtex compatibility. Traditional \bibtex uses the slightly misleading field name \bibfield{address} for the place of publication, \ie the location of the publisher, while \biblatex uses the generic field name \bibfield{location}. See \secref{bib:fld:dat,bib:use:and}.
+
+\fielditem{annote}{literal}
+
+An alias for \bibfield{annotation}, provided for \sty{jurabib} compatibility. See \secref{bib:fld:dat}.
+
+\fielditem{archiveprefix}{literal}
+
+An alias for \bibfield{eprinttype}, provided for arXiv compatibility. See \secref{bib:fld:dat,use:use:epr}.
+

+

+
+\subsection{Usage Notes}
+\label{bib:use}
+
+The entry types and fields supported by this package should for the most part be intuitive to use for anyone familiar with \bibtex. However, apart from the additional types and fields provided by this package, some of the familiar ones are handled in a way which is in need of explanation.
+This package includes some compatibility code for \file{bib} files which were generated with a traditional \bibtex style in mind. Unfortunately, it is not possible to handle all legacy files automatically because \biblatex's data model is slightly different from traditional \bibtex. Therefore, such \file{bib} files will most likely require editing in order to work properly with this package. In sum, the following items are different from traditional \bibtex styles:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}
+\item The entry type \bibtype{inbook}. See \secref{bib:typ:blx, bib:use:inb} for details.
+\item The fields \bibfield{institution}, \bibfield{organization}, and \bibfield{publisher} as well as the aliases \bibfield{address} and \bibfield{school}. See \secref{bib:fld:dat, bib:fld:als, bib:use:and} for details.
+\item The handling of certain types of titles. See \secref{bib:use:ttl} for details.
+\item The field \bibfield{series}. See \secref{bib:fld:dat, bib:use:ser} for details.
+\item The fields \bibfield{year} and \bibfield{month}. See \secref{bib:fld:dat, bib:use:dat, bib:use:yearordate, bib:use:iss} for details.
+\item The field \bibfield{edition}. See \secref{bib:fld:dat} for details.
+\item The field \bibfield{key}. See \secref{bib:use:key} for details.
+\end{itemize}
+
+Users of the \sty{jurabib} package should note that the \bibfield{shortauthor} field is treated as a name list by \biblatex, see \secref{bib:use:inc} for details.
+
+\subsubsection{The Entry Type \bibtype{inbook}}
+\label{bib:use:inb}
+
+Use the \bibtype{inbook} entry type for a self"=contained part of a book with its own title only. It relates to \bibtype{book} just like \bibtype{incollection} relates to \bibtype{collection}. See \secref{bib:use:ttl} for examples. If you want to refer to a chapter or section of a book, simply use the \bibfield{book} type and add a \bibfield{chapter} and\slash or \bibfield{pages} field. Whether a bibliography should at all include references to chapters or sections is controversial because a chapter is not a bibliographic entity.
+
+\subsubsection{Missing and Omissible Data}
+\label{bib:use:key}
+
+The fields marked as <required> in \secref{bib:typ:blx} are not strictly required in all cases. The bibliography styles which come with this package can get by with as little as a \bibfield{title} field for most entry types. A book published anonymously, a periodical without an explicit editor, or a software manual without an explicit author should pose no problem as far as the bibliography is concerned. Citation styles, however, may have different requirements. For example, an author"=year citation scheme obviously requires an \bibfield{author}\slash \bibfield{editor} and a \bibfield{year} field.
+
+You may generally use the \bibfield{label} field to provide a substitute for any missing data required for citations. How the \bibfield{label} field is employed depends on the citation style. The author"=year citation styles which come with this package use the \bibfield{label} field as a fallback if either the \bibfield{author}\slash \bibfield{editor} or the \bibfield{year} is missing. The numeric styles, on the other hand, do not use it at all since the numeric scheme is independent of the available data. The author"=title styles ignore it as well, because the bare \bibfield{title} is usually sufficient to form a unique citation and a title is expected to be available in any case. The \bibfield{label} field may also be used to override the non"=numeric portion of the automatically generated \bibfield{labelalpha} field used by alphabetic citation styles. See \secref{aut:bbx:fld} for details.
+
+Note that traditional \bibtex styles support a \bibfield{key} field which is used for alphabetizing if both \bibfield{author} and \bibfield{editor} are missing. The \biblatex package treats \bibfield{key} as an alias for \bibfield{sortkey}. In addition to that, it offers very fine-grained sorting controls, see \secref{bib:fld:spc, use:srt} for details. The \sty{natbib} package employs the \bibfield{key} field as a fallback label for citations. Use the \bibfield{label} field instead.
+
+\subsubsection{Corporate Authors and Editors}
+\label{bib:use:inc}
+
+Corporate authors and editors are given in the \bibfield{author} or \bibfield{editor} field, respectively. Note that they must be wrapped in an extra pair of curly braces to prevent data parsing from treating them as personal names which are to be dissected into their components. Use the \bibfield{shortauthor} field if you want to give an abbreviated form of the name or an acronym for use in citations.
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+author = {<<{National Aeronautics and Space Administration}>>},
+shortauthor = {NASA},
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+The default citation styles will use the short name in all citations while the full name is printed in the bibliography. For corporate editors, use the corresponding fields \sty{editor} and \sty{shorteditor}. Since all of these fields are treated as name lists, it is possible to mix personal names and corporate names, provided that the names of all corporations and institutions are wrapped in braces.
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+editor = {<<{National Aeronautics and Space Administration}>>
+ and Doe, John},
+shorteditor = {NASA and Doe, John},
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Users switching from the \sty{jurabib} package to \biblatex should note that the \bibfield{shortauthor} field is treated as a name list.
+
+\subsubsection{Literal Lists}
+\label{bib:use:and}
+
+The fields \bibfield{institution}, \bibfield{organization}, \bibfield{publisher}, and \bibfield{location} are literal lists in terms of \secref{bib:fld}. This also applies to \bibfield{origlocation}, \bibfield{origpublisher} and to the field aliases \bibfield{address} and \bibfield{school}. All of these fields may contain a list of items separated by the keyword <|and|>. If they contain a literal <|and|>, it must be wrapped in braces.
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+publisher = {William Reid <<{and}>> Company},
+institution = {Office of Information Management <<{and}>> Communications},
+organization = {American Society for Photogrammetry <<{and}>> Remote Sensing
+ and
+ American Congress on Surveying <<{and}>> Mapping},
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Note the difference between a literal <|{and}|> and the list separator <|and|> in the above examples. You may also wrap the entire name in braces:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+publisher = {<<{William Reid and Company}>>},
+institution = {<<{Office of Information Management and Communications}>>},
+organization = {<<{American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing}>>
+ and
+ <<{American Congress on Surveying and Mapping}>>},
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Legacy files which have not been updated for use with \biblatex will still work if these fields do not contain a literal <and>. However, note that you will miss out on the additional features of literal lists in this case, such as configurable formatting and automatic truncation.
+
+\subsubsection{Titles}
+\label{bib:use:ttl}
+
+The following examples demonstrate how to handle different types of titles. Let's start with a five"=volume work which is referred to as a whole:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at MvBook{works,
+ author = {Shakespeare, William},
+ title = {Collected Works},
+ volumes = {5},
+ ...
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+The individual volumes of a multi"=volume work usually have a title of their own. Suppose the fourth volume of the \emph{Collected Works} includes Shakespeare's sonnets and we are referring to this volume only:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at Book{works:4,
+ author = {Shakespeare, William},
+ maintitle = {Collected Works},
+ title = {Sonnets},
+ volume = {4},
+ ...
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+If the individual volumes do not have a title, we put the main title in the \bibfield{title} field and include a volume number:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at Book{works:4,
+ author = {Shakespeare, William},
+ title = {Collected Works},
+ volume = {4},
+ ...
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+In the next example, we are referring to a part of a volume, but this part is a self"=contained work with its own title. The respective volume also has a title and there is still the main title of the entire edition:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at InBook{lear,
+ author = {Shakespeare, William},
+ bookauthor = {Shakespeare, William},
+ maintitle = {Collected Works},
+ booktitle = {Tragedies},
+ title = {King Lear},
+ volume = {1},
+ pages = {53-159},
+ ...
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Suppose the first volume of the \emph{Collected Works} includes a reprinted essay by a well"=known scholar. This is not the usual introduction by the editor but a self"=contained work. The \emph{Collected Works} also have a separate editor:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at InBook{stage,
+ author = {Expert, Edward},
+ title = {Shakespeare and the Elizabethan Stage},
+ bookauthor = {Shakespeare, William},
+ editor = {Bookmaker, Bernard},
+ maintitle = {Collected Works},
+ booktitle = {Tragedies},
+ volume = {1},
+ pages = {7-49},
+ ...
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+See \secref{bib:use:ser} for further examples.
+
+\subsubsection{Editorial Roles}
+\label{bib:use:edr}
+
+The type of editorial role performed by an editor in one of the \bibfield{editor} fields (\ie \bibfield{editor}, \bibfield{editora}, \bibfield{editorb}, \bibfield{editorc}) may be specified in the corresponding \bibfield{editor...type} field. The following roles are supported by default. The role <\texttt{editor}> is the default. In this case, the \bibfield{editortype} field is omissible.
+
+\begin{marglist}
+\setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}
+\item[editor] The main editor. This is the most generic editorial role and the default value.
+\item[compiler] Similar to \texttt{editor} but used if the task of the editor is mainly compiling.
+\item[founder] The founding editor of a periodical or a comprehensive publication project such as a <Collected Works> edition or a long"=running legal commentary.
+\item[continuator] An editor who continued the work of the founding editor (\texttt{founder}) but was subsequently replaced by the current editor (\texttt{editor}).
+\item[redactor] A secondary editor whose task is redacting the work.
+\item[reviser] A secondary editor whose task is revising the work.
+\item[collaborator] A secondary editor or a consultant to the editor.
+\item[organizer] Similar to \texttt{editor} but used if the task of the editor is mainly organizing.
+\end{marglist}
+%
+For example, if the task of the editor is compiling, you may indicate that in the corresponding \bibfield{editortype} field:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at Collection{...,
+ editor = {Editor, Edward},
+ editortype = {compiler},
+ ...
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+There may also be secondary editors in addition to the main editor:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at Book{...,
+ author = {...},
+ editor = {Editor, Edward},
+ editora = {Redactor, Randolph},
+ editoratype = {redactor},
+ editorb = {Consultant, Conrad},
+ editorbtype = {collaborator},
+ ...
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Periodicals or long"=running publication projects may see several generations of editors. For example, there may be a founding editor in addition to the current editor:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at Book{...,
+ author = {...},
+ editor = {Editor, Edward},
+ editora = {Founder, Frederic},
+ editoratype = {founder},
+ ...
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Note that only the \bibfield{editor} is considered in citations and when sorting the bibliography. If an entry is typically cited by the founding editor (and sorted accordingly in the bibliography), the founder goes into the \bibfield{editor} field and the current editor moves to one of the \bibfield{editor...} fields:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at Collection{...,
+ editor = {Founder, Frederic},
+ editortype = {founder},
+ editora = {Editor, Edward},
+ ...
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+You may add more roles by initializing and defining a new localisation key whose name corresponds to the identifier in the \bibfield{editor...type} field. See \secref{use:lng,aut:lng:cmd} for details.
+
+\subsubsection{Publication and Journal Series}
+\label{bib:use:ser}
+
+The \bibfield{series} field is used by traditional \bibtex styles both for the main title of a multi"=volume work and for a publication series, \ie a loosely related sequence of books by the same publisher which deal with the same general topic or belong to the same field of research. This may be ambiguous. This package introduces a \bibfield{maintitle} field for multi"=volume works and employs \bibfield{series} for publication series only. The volume or number of a book in the series goes in the \bibfield{number} field in this case:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at Book{...,
+ author = {Expert, Edward},
+ title = {Shakespeare and the Elizabethan Age},
+ series = {Studies in English Literature and Drama},
+ number = {57},
+ ...
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+The \bibtype{article} entry type makes use of the \bibfield{series} field as well, but handles it in a special way. First, a test is performed to determine whether the value of the field is an integer. If so, it will be printed as an ordinal. If not, another test is performed to determine whether it is a localisation key. If so, the localised string is printed. If not, the value is printed as is. Consider the following example of a journal published in numbered series:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at Article{...,
+ journal = {Journal Name},
+ series = {3},
+ volume = {15},
+ number = {7},
+ year = {1995},
+ ...
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+This entry will be printed as «\emph{Journal Name}. 3rd ser. 15.7 (1995)». Some journals use designations such as «old series» and «new series» instead of a number. Such designations may be given in the \bibfield{series} field as well, either as a literal string or as a localisation key. Consider the following example which makes use of the localisation key \texttt{newseries}:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at Article{...,
+ journal = {Journal Name},
+ series = {newseries},
+ volume = {9},
+ year = {1998},
+ ...
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+This entry will be printed as «\emph{Journal Name}. New ser. 9 (1998)». See \secref{aut:lng:key} for a list of localisation keys defined by default.

+\bottomrule
+\end{tabularx}
+\end{table}
+
+Date fields such as the default data model dates \bibfield{date}, \bibfield{origdate}, \bibfield{eventdate}, and \bibfield{urldate} adhere to \acr{ISO8601-2} Extended Format specification level 1. In addition to the \acr{ISO8601-2} empty date range markers, you may also specify an open ended/start date range by giving the range separator and omitting the end/start date (\eg \texttt{YYYY/}, \texttt{/YYYY}). See \tabref{bib:use:tab1} for some examples of valid date specifications and the formatted dates automatically generated by \biblatex. The formatted date is language specific and will be adapted automatically. If there is no \bibfield{date} field in an entry, \biblatex will also consider the fields \bibfield{year} and \bibfield{month} for backwards compatibility with traditional \bibtex but this is not encouraged as explicit \bibfield{year} and \bibfield{month} are not parsed for date meta-information markers or times and are used as-is. Style authors should note that date fields like \bibfield{date} or \bibfield{origdate} are only available in the \file{bib} file. All dates are parsed and dissected into their components as the \file{bib} file is processed. The date and time components are made available to styles by way of the special fields discussed in \secref{aut:bbx:fld:dat}. See this section and \tabref{aut:bbx:fld:tab1} on page~\pageref{aut:bbx:fld:tab1} for further information.
+
+\acr{ISO8601-2} Extended Format dates are astronomical dates in which year <0> exists. When outputting dates in BCE or BC era (see the \opt{dateera} option below), note that they will typically be one year earlier since BCE/BC era do not have a year 0 (year 0 is 1 BCE/BC). This conversion is automatic. See examples in \tabref{bib:use:tab2}.
+
+Date field names \emph{must} end with the string <date>, as with the default date fields. Bear this in mind when adding new date fields to the datamodel (see \secref{aut:ctm:dm}). \biblatex will check all date fields after reading the data model and will exit with an error if it finds a date field which does not adhere to this naming convention.
+
+\acr{ISO8601-2} supports dates before common era (BCE/BC) by way of a negative date format and supports <approximate> (circa) and uncertain dates. Such date formats set internal markers which can be tested for so that appropriate localised markers (such as \opt{circa} or \opt{beforecommonera}) can be inserted. Also supported are <unspecified> dates (\acr{ISO8601-2} 4.3) which are automatically expanded into appropriate data ranges accompanied by a field \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$dateunspecified} which details the granularity of the unspecified data. Styles may use this information to format such dates appropriately but the standard styles do not do this. See \tabref{bib:use:tab3} on page~\pageref{bib:use:tab3} for the allowed \acr{ISO8601-2} <unspecified> formats, their range expansions and \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$dateunspecified} values (see \secref{aut:bbx:fld:gen}).

+
+The output of <circa>, uncertainty and era information in standard styles (or custom styles not customising the internal \cmd{mkdaterange*} macros) is controlled by the package options \opt{datecirca}, \opt{dateuncertain}, \opt{dateera} and \opt{dateeraauto} (see \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}).

+\subsubsection{Year, Month and Date}
+\label{bib:use:yearordate}
+
+The fields \bibfield{year} and \bibfield{month} are still supported by \biblatex, but the full set of date features (day and time precision, ranges, \dots) can only be used with \bibfield{date}. It is therefore recommended to prefer \bibfield{date} over \bibfield{year} and \bibfield{month} unless backwards compatibility of the \file{bib} file with classical \bibtex is required.
+
+\subsubsection{Months and Journal Issues}
+\label{bib:use:iss}
+
+The \bibfield{month} field is an integer field. The bibliography style converts the month to a language"=dependent string as required. For backwards compatibility, you may also use the following three"=letter abbreviations in the \bibfield{month} field: \texttt{jan}, \texttt{feb}, \texttt{mar}, \texttt{apr}, \texttt{may}, \texttt{jun}, \texttt{jul}, \texttt{aug}, \texttt{sep}, \texttt{oct}, \texttt{nov}, \texttt{dec}. Note that these abbreviations are \bibtex strings which must be given without any braces or quotes. When using them, don't say |month={jan}| or |month="jan"| but |month=jan|. It is not possible to specify a month such as |month={8/9}|. Use the \bibfield{date} field for date ranges instead. Quarterly journals are typically identified by a designation such as <Spring> or <Summer> which should be given in the \bibfield{issue} field. The placement of the \bibfield{issue} field in \bibtype{article} entries is similar to and overrides the \bibfield{month} field.
+
+\subsubsection{Journal Numbers and Issues}
+\label{bib:use:issnum}
+
+The terms <number>, <issue> and even <issue number> are often used synonymously by journals to refer to the subdvision of a \bibfield{volume}. The fact that \biblatex's data model has fields of both names can sometimes lead to confusion about which field should be used. First and foremost the word that the journal uses for the subdivsion of a \bibfield{volume} should be of minor importance, what matters is the role in the data model. As a rule of thumb \bibfield{number} is the right field in most circumstances. In the standard styles \bibfield{number} modifies \bibfield{volume}, whereas \bibfield{issue} modifies the date (year) of the entry. Numeric identifiers and short designators that are not necessarily (entirely) numeric such as <A>, <S1>, <C2>, <Suppl.\ 3>, <4es> would go into the \bibfield{number} field, because they usually modify the \bibfield{volume}. The output of---especially longer---non-numeric input for \bibfield{number} should be checked since it could potentially look odd with some styles. The field \bibfield{issue} can be used for designations such as <Spring>, <Winter> or <Michaelmas term> if that is commonly used to refer to the journal.
+
+The <article number> or <paper number>, which can be used instead of---or along with---a page range to pinpoint a specific article within another work, goes into the \bibfield{eid} field, whose placement in the standard styles is similar to the analogous \bibfield{pages} field.
+
+\subsubsection{Pagination}
+\label{bib:use:pag}
+
+When specifying a page or page range, either in the \bibfield{pages} field of an entry or in the \prm{postnote} argument to a citation command, it is convenient to have \biblatex add prefixes like <p.> or <pp.> automatically and this is indeed what this package does by default. However, some works may use a different pagination scheme or may not be cited by page but rather by verse or line number. This is when the \bibfield{pagination} and \bibfield{bookpagination} fields come into play. As an example, consider the following entry:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at InBook{key,
+ title = {...},
+ pagination = {verse},
+ booktitle = {...},
+ bookpagination = {page},
+ pages = {53--65},
+ ...
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+The \bibfield{bookpagination} field affects the formatting of the \bibfield{pages} and \bibfield{pagetotal} fields in the list of references. Since \texttt{page} is the default, this field is omissible in the above example. In this case, the page range will be formatted as <pp.~53--65>. Suppose that, when quoting from this work, it is customary to use verse numbers rather than page numbers in citations. This is reflected by the \bibfield{pagination} field, which affects the formatting of the \prm{postnote} argument to any citation command. With a citation like |\cite[17]{key}|, the postnote will be formatted as <v.~17>. Setting the \bibfield{pagination} field to \texttt{section} would yield <\S~17>. See \secref{use:cav:pag} for further usage instructions.
+
+The \bibfield{pagination} and \bibfield{bookpagination} fields are key fields. This package will try to use their value as a localisation key, provided that the key is defined. Always use the singular form of the key name in \file{bib} files, the plural is formed automatically. The keys \texttt{page}, \texttt{column}, \texttt{line}, \texttt{verse}, \texttt{section}, and \texttt{paragraph} are predefined, with \texttt{page} being the default. The string <\texttt{none}> has a special meaning when used in a \bibfield{pagination} or \bibfield{bookpagination} field. It suppresses the prefix for the respective entry. If there are no predefined localisation keys for the pagination scheme required by a certain entry, you can simply add them. See the commands \cmd{NewBibliographyString} and \cmd{DefineBibliographyStrings} in \secref{use:lng}. You need to define two localisation strings for each additional pagination scheme: the singular form (whose localisation key corresponds to the value of the \bibfield{pagination} field) and the plural form (whose localisation key must be the singular plus the letter <\texttt{s}>). See the predefined keys in \secref{aut:lng:key} for examples.
+
+\subsection{Hints and Caveats}
+\label{bib:cav}
+
+This section provides some additional hints concerning the data interface of this package. It also addresses some common problems.
+
+\subsubsection{Cross-referencing}
+\label{bib:cav:ref}
+
+\biber features a highly customizable cross-referencing mechanism with flexible data inheritance rules. Duplicating certain fields in the parent entry or adding empty fields to the child entry is no longer required. Entries are specified in a natural way:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at Book{book,
+ author = {Author},
+ title = {Booktitle},
+ subtitle = {Booksubtitle},
+ publisher = {Publisher},
+ location = {Location},
+ date = {1995},
+}
+ at InBook{inbook,
+ crossref = {book},
+ title = {Title},
+ pages = {5--25},
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+The \bibfield{title} field of the parent will be copied to the \bibfield{booktitle} field of the child, the \bibfield{subtitle} becomes the \bibfield{booksubtitle}. The \bibfield{author} of the parent becomes the \bibfield{bookauthor} of the child and, since the child does not provide an \bibfield{author} field, it is also duplicated as the \bibfield{author} of the child. After data inheritance, the child entry is similar to this:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+author = {Author},
+bookauthor = {Author},
+title = {Title},
+booktitle = {Booktitle},
+booksubtitle = {Booksubtitle},
+publisher = {Publisher},
+location = {Location},
+date = {1995},
+pages = {5--25},
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+See \apxref{apx:ref} for a list of mapping rules set up by default. Note that all of this is customizable. See \secref{aut:ctm:ref} on how to configure \biber's cross"=referencing mechanism. See also \secref{bib:fld:spc}.
+
+\paragraph{The \bibfield{xref} field}
+\label{bib:cav:ref:ref}
+
+In addition to the \bibfield{crossref} field, \biblatex supports a simplified cross"=referencing mechanism based on the \bibfield{xref} field. This is useful if you want to establish a parent\slash child relation between two associated entries but prefer to keep them independent as far as the data is concerned. The \bibfield{xref} field differs from \bibfield{crossref} in that the child entry will not inherit any data from the parent. If the parent is referenced by a certain number of child entries, \biblatex will automatically add it to the bibliography. The threshold is controlled by the \opt{minxrefs} package option from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}.u See also \secref{bib:fld:spc}.
+
+\subsubsection{Sorting and Encoding Issues}
+\label{bib:cav:enc}
+
+\biber handles \acr{US-ASCII}, 8-bit encodings such as Latin\,1, and \utf. It features true Unicode support and is capable of reencoding the \file{bib} data on the fly in a robust way. For sorting, \biber uses a Perl implementation of the Unicode Collation Algorithm (\acr{UCA}), as outlined in Unicode Technical Standard \#10.\fnurl{https://unicode.org/reports/tr10/} Collation tailoring based on the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (\acr{CLDR}) is also supported.\fnurl{http://cldr.unicode.org/}
+
+Supporting Unicode implies much more than handling \utf input. Unicode is a complex standard covering more than its most well-known parts, the Unicode character encoding and transport encodings such as \utf. It also standardizes aspects such as string collation, which is required for language-sensitive sorting. For example, by using the Unicode Collation Algorithm, \biber can handle the character <ß> without any manual intervention. All you need to do to get localised sorting is specify the locale:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\usepackage[sortlocale=de]{biblatex}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+or if you are using German as the main document language via \sty{babel} or \sty{polyglossia}:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\usepackage[sortlocale=auto]{biblatex}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This will make \biblatex pass the \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} main document language
+as the locale which \biber will map into a suitable default locale. \biber
+will not try to get locale information from its environment as this makes
+document processing dependent on something not in the document which is
+against \tex's spirit of reproducibility. This also makes sense since
+\sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} are in fact the relevant environment for a document. Note
+that this will also work with 8-bit encodings such as Latin\,9, \ie you can
+take advantage of Unicode-based sorting even though you are not using \utf
+input. See \secref{bib:cav:enc:enc} on how to specify input and data
+encodings properly.
+
+\paragraph{Specifying Encodings}
+\label{bib:cav:enc:enc}
+When using a non-\acr{US-ASCII} encoding in the \file{bib} file, it is important to understand what \biblatex can do for you and what may require manual intervention. The package takes care of the \latex side, \ie it ensures that the data imported from the \file{bbl} file is interpreted correctly, provided that the \opt{bibencoding} package option (or the datasource specific override for this, see \secref{use:bib:res}) is set properly. All of this is handled automatically and no further steps, apart from setting the \opt{bibencoding} option in certain cases (namely when the encoding of the \file{bib} file differs from the encoding of the \file{tex} file), are required provided that you set up your document encoding (\ie load \sty{inputenc} or related packages if required) \emph{before} \biblatex is loaded. Here are a few typical usage scenarios along with the relevant lines from the document preamble:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}
+
+\item \acr{US-ASCII} notation in both the \file{tex} and the \file{bib} file with \pdftex or traditional \tex:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\usepackage{biblatex}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\item Latin\,1 encoding (\acr{ISO}-8859-1) in the \file{tex} file, \acr{US-ASCII} notation in the \file{bib} file with \pdftex or traditional \tex :
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
+\usepackage[bibencoding=ascii]{biblatex}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\item Latin\,9 encoding (\acr{ISO}-8859-15) in both the \file{tex} and the \file{bib} file with \pdftex or traditional:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
+\usepackage[bibencoding=auto]{biblatex}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Since \kvopt{bibencoding}{auto} is the default setting, the option is omissible. The following setup will have the same effect:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
+\usepackage{biblatex}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\item \utf encoding in the \file{tex} file, Latin\,1 (\acr{ISO}-8859-1) in the \file{bib} file with \pdftex or traditional \tex:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
+\usepackage[bibencoding=latin1]{biblatex}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+The same scenario with \latex release 2018-04-01 or above, \xetex or \luatex in native \utf mode:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\usepackage[bibencoding=latin1]{biblatex}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+\biber can handle \acr{US-ASCII} notation, 8-bit encodings such as Latin\,1, and \utf. It is also capable of reencoding the \file{bib} data on the fly (replacing the limited macro-level reencoding feature of \biblatex). This will happen automatically if required, provided that you specify the encoding of the \file{bib} files properly. In addition to the scenarios discussed above, \biber can also handle the following cases:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item Transparent \utf workflow, \ie \utf encoding in both the \file{tex} and the \file{bib} file with \pdftex or traditional \tex:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
+\usepackage[bibencoding=auto]{biblatex}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Since \kvopt{bibencoding}{auto} is the default setting, the option is omissible:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
+\usepackage{biblatex}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+The same scenario with \xetex or \luatex in native \utf mode:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\usepackage{biblatex}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\item It is even possible to combine an 8-bit encoded \file{tex} file with \utf encoding in the \file{bib} file, provided that all characters in the \file{bib} file are also covered by the selected 8-bit encoding:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
+\usepackage[bibencoding=utf8]{biblatex}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+Some workarounds may be required when using traditional \tex or \pdftex with \utf encoding because \sty{inputenc}'s \file{utf8} module does not cover all of Unicode. Roughly speaking, it only covers the Western European Unicode range. When loading \sty{inputenc} with the \file{utf8} option, \biblatex will normally instruct \biber to reencode the \file{bib} data to \utf. This may lead to \sty{inputenc} errors if some of the characters in the \file{bib} file are outside the limited Unicode range supported by \sty{inputenc}.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item If you are affected by this problem, try setting the \opt{safeinputenc} option:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
+\usepackage[safeinputenc]{biblatex}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+If this option is enabled, \biblatex will ignore \sty{inputenc}'s \opt{utf8} option and use \acr{US-ASCII}. \biber will then try to convert the \file{bib} data to \acr{US-ASCII} notation. For example, it will convert \k{S} to |\k{S}|. This option is similar to setting \kvopt{texencoding}{ascii} but will only take effect in this specific scenario (\sty{inputenc}\slash \sty{inputenx} with \utf). This workaround takes advantage of the fact that both Unicode and the \utf transport encoding are backwards compatible with \acr{US-ASCII}.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+This solution may be acceptable as a workaround if the data in the \file{bib} file is mostly \acr{US-ASCII} anyway, with only a few strings, such as some authors' names, causing problems. However, keep in mind that it will not magically make traditional \tex or \pdftex support Unicode. It may help if the occasional odd character is not supported by \sty{inputenc}, but may still be processed by \tex when using an accent command (\eg |\d{S}| instead of \d{S}). If you need full Unicode support, however, switch to \xetex or \luatex.
+
+Typical errors when \sty{inputenc} cannot handle a certain UTF-8 character are:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char <char> (U+<codepoint>)
+(inputenc) not set up for use with LaTeX.
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+but also less obvious things like:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+! Argument of \UTFviii at three@octets has an extra }.
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\section{User Guide}
+\label{use}
+
+This part of the manual documents the user interface of the \biblatex package. The user guide covers everything you need to know in order to use \biblatex with the default styles that come with this package. You should read the user guide first in any case. If you want to write your own citation and\slash or bibliography styles, continue with the author guide afterwards.
+
+\subsection{Package Options}
+\label{use:opt}
+
+All package options are given in \keyval notation. The value \texttt{true} is omissible with all boolean keys. For example, giving \opt{sortcites} without a value is equivalent to \kvopt{sortcites}{true}.
+
+\subsubsection{Load-time Options}
+\label{use:opt:ldt}
+
+The following options must be used as \biblatex is loaded, \ie in the optional argument to \cmd{usepackage}.
+
+\begin{optionlist}
+
+\optitem[biber]{backend}{\opt{bibtex}, \opt{bibtex8}, \opt{biber}}
+
+Specifies the database backend. The following backends are supported:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+
+\item[biber] \biber, the default backend of \biblatex, supports \acr{US-ASCII}, 8-bit encodings, \utf, on-the-fly reencoding, locale"=specific sorting, and many other features. Locale"=specific sorting, case"=sensitive sorting, and upper\slash lowercase precedence are controlled by the options \opt{sortlocale}, \opt{sortcase}, and \opt{sortupper}, respectively.
+
+\item[bibtex] Legacy \bibtex. Traditional \bibtex supports \acr{US-ASCII} encoding only. Sorting is always case"=insensitive.
+
+\item[bibtex8] \bin{bibtex8}, the 8-bit implementation of \bibtex, supports \acr{US-ASCII} and 8-bit encodings such as Latin~1.
+
+
+\end{valuelist}
+
+See \secref{use:bibtex} for details of using \bibtex as a backend.
+
+\valitem[numeric]{style}{file}
+
+Loads the bibliography style \prm{file}\path{.bbx} and the citation style \prm{file}\path{.cbx}. See \secref{use:xbx} for an overview of the standard styles.
+
+\valitem[numeric]{bibstyle}{file}
+
+Loads the bibliography style \prm{file}\path{.bbx}. See \secref{use:xbx:bbx} for an overview of the standard bibliography styles.
+
+\valitem[numeric]{citestyle}{file}
+
+Loads the citation style \prm{file}\path{.cbx}. See \secref{use:xbx:cbx} for an overview of the standard citation styles.
+
+\boolitem[false]{natbib}
+
+Loads compatibility module which provides aliases for the citation commands of the \sty{natbib} package. See \secref{use:cit:nat} for details.
+
+\boolitem[false]{mcite}
+
+Loads a citation module which provides \sty{mcite}\slash\sty{mciteplus}-like citation commands. See \secref{use:cit:mct} for details.
+
+\optitem[auto]{casechanger}{\opt{auto}, \opt{latex2e}, \opt{expl3}}
+
+This option selects the implementation of \biblatex's case changing functions, most prominently \cmd{MakeSentenceCase*}. \opt{expl3} selects the new implementation based on the \latex3 module \sty{l3text}. Note that the \sty{l3text} module assumes \utf input and that your \sty{expl3} version should be new enough (at least version 2020-04-06). \opt{latex2e} selects the original implementation, which has tricky brace protection behaviour and some shortcomings when dealing with non-\acr{US-ASCII} characters. The default \opt{auto} selects the case changing code based on the available \sty{expl3} version and detected document encoding (\opt{expl3} is selected if \sty{expl3} is at least version 2020-04-06 and the document encoding is detected as \utf).
+
+\end{optionlist}
+
+\subsubsection{Preamble Options}
+\label{use:opt:pre}
+
+\paragraph{General}
+\label{use:opt:pre:gen}
+
+The following options may be used in the optional argument to \cmd{usepackage} as well as in the configuration file and the document preamble. The default value listed to the right is the package default. Note that bibliography and citation styles may modify the default setting at load time, see \secref{use:xbx} for details.
+
+\begin{optionlist}
+
+\valitem[default]{msform}{form}
+
+The default multiscript field alternate <form>. Must be one of the forms declared in <multiscriptforms> constant. This controls the default <form> selected by \biber and also the default <form> selected by citations. Can be overridden on a per-refcontext basis. See \ref{use:multiscript}.
+
+\valitem[en]{mslang}{bcp47tag}
+
+The default multiscript field alternate <language> as a BCP47 tag. This controls the default <language> selected by \biber and also the default <language> selected by citations. Can be overridden on a per-refcontext basis. See \ref{use:multiscript}. If \sty{babel} or \sty{polyglossia} are used, this is determined from the main language selected at the beginning of the document. If neither \sty{babel} or \sty{polyglossia} is loaded, the default is as show above.
+
+\boolitem[false]{dynamiclabel}
+
+Normally the multiscript entryfield alternates pointed to by \bibfield{labelname} and \bibfield{labeltitle} are determined for the document via the \cmd{DeclareLabelname} and \cmd{DeclareLabeltitle} commands and this determination is static. If this option is <true>, then the multiscript alternate entryfield pointed by \bibfield{labelname} and \bibfield{labeltitle} are determined dynamically by the setting of the \opt{msform} and \opt{mslang} options at the point where the \bibfield{labelname} or \bibfield{labeltitle} are printed. See \secref{use:multiscript}.
+
+\optitem[nty]{sorting}{\opt{nty}, \opt{nyt}, \opt{nyvt}, \opt{anyt}, \opt{anyvt}, \opt{ynt}, \opt{ydnt}, \opt{count}, \opt{none}, \opt{debug}, \prm{name}}
+
+The sorting order of the bibliography. Unless stated otherwise, the entries are sorted in ascending order. The following choices are available by default:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[nty] Sort by name, title, year.
+\item[nyt] Sort by name, year, title.
+\item[nyvt] Sort by name, year, volume, title.
+\item[anyt] Sort by alphabetic label, name, year, title.
+\item[anyvt] Sort by alphabetic label, name, year, volume, title.
+\item[ynt] Sort by year, name, title.
+\item[ydnt] Sort by year (descending), name, title.
+\item[none] Do not sort at all. All entries are processed in citation order.
+\item[count] Sort in descending order of number of times cited
+\item[debug] Sort by entry key. This is intended for debugging only.
+\item[\prm{name}] Use \prm{name}, as defined with \cmd{DeclareSortingTemplate} (\secref{aut:ctm:srt})
+\end{valuelist}
+
+Using any of the <alphabetic> sorting templates only makes sense in conjunction with a bibliography style which prints the corresponding labels. Note that some bibliography styles initialize this package option to a value different from the package default (\opt{nty}). See \secref{use:xbx:bbx} for details. Please refer to \secref{use:srt} for an in"=depth explanation of the above sorting options as well as the fields considered in the sorting process. See also \secref{aut:ctm:srt} on how to adapt the predefined templates or define new ones.
+
+\boolitem[true]{sortcase}
+
+Whether or not to sort the bibliography and the list of shorthands case"=sensitively.
+
+\boolitem[true]{sortupper}
+
+This option corresponds to \biber's \opt{--sortupper} command-line option. If enabled, the bibliography is sorted in <uppercase before lowercase> order. Disabling this option means <lowercase before uppercase> order.
+
+\optitem[auto]{sortlocale}{\opt{auto}, \prm{locale}}
+
+This option sets the global sorting locale. Every sorting template inherits this locale if none is specified using the \prm{locale} option to \cmd{printbibliography}. Setting this to \opt{auto} requests that it be set to the \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} main document language identifier, if these packages are used and \texttt{en\_US} otherwise. \biber will map \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} language identifiers into sensible locale identifiers (see the \biber documentation). You can therefore specify either a normal locale identifier like \texttt{de\_DE\_phonebook}, \texttt{es\_ES} or one of the supported \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} language identifiers if the mapping \biber makes of this is fine for you.
+
+\boolitem[false]{sortcites}
+
+Whether or not to sort citations if multiple entry keys are passed to a citation command. If this option is enabled, citations are sorted according to the current bibliography context sorting template (see \secref{use:bib:context}). This feature works with all citation styles.
+
+\boolitem[false]{sortsets}
+
+Whether or not to sort set members according to the active reference context sorting scheme. By default this is false and set members appear in the order given in the data source.
+
+\boolitem[false]{pluralothers}
+
+Controls whether the localised <and others> string (e.g. <et al>) is forced
+to be plural. If true, it will only be printed in place of two or more
+names and if there is only one name it would replace, the name itself is
+printed instead. Defaults to false.
+
+\intitem[3]{maxnames}
+
+A threshold affecting all lists of names (\bibfield{author}, \bibfield{editor}, etc.). If a list exceeds this threshold, \ie if it holds more than \prm{integer} names, it is automatically truncated according to the setting of the \opt{minnames} option. \opt{maxnames} is the master option which sets \opt{maxbibnames}, \opt{maxcitenames} and \opt{maxsortnames}. Note that the \opt{uniquelist} feature can locally override \opt{maxnames}, see the documentation of the \opt{uniquelist} option in \secref{use:opt:pre:int} and \secref{aut:cav:amb}.
+
+\intitem[1]{minnames}
+
+A limit affecting all lists of names (\bibfield{author}, \bibfield{editor}, etc.). If a list holds more than \prm{maxnames} names, it is automatically truncated to \prm{minnames} names. The \prm{minnames} value must be smaller than or equal to \prm{maxnames}. \opt{minnames} is the master option which sets both \opt{minbibnames} and \opt{mincitenames}. Like \opt{maxnames} the value of \opt{minnames} can be overridden by \opt{uniquelist}.
+
+\intitem[\prm{maxnames}]{maxbibnames}
+
+Similar to \opt{maxnames} but affects only the bibliography.
+
+\intitem[\prm{minnames}]{minbibnames}
+
+Similar to \opt{minnames} but affects only the bibliography.
+
+\intitem[\prm{maxnames}]{maxcitenames}
+
+Similar to \opt{maxnames} but affects only the citations in the document body.
+
+
+\intitem[\prm{minnames}]{mincitenames}
+
+Similar to \opt{minnames} but affects only the citations in the document body.
+
+\intitem[\prm{maxbibnames}]{maxsortnames}
+
+Similar to \opt{maxnames} but affects only the names visible to sorting. Since this defaults to \prm{maxbibnames}, you should set this after \opt{maxbibnames} if \opt{maxbibnames} is explicitly set.
+
+\intitem[\prm{minbibnames}]{minsortnames}
+
+Similar to \opt{minnames} but affects only the names visible to sorting. Since this defaults to \prm{minbibnames}, you should set this after \opt{minbibnames} if \opt{minbibnames} is explicitly set.
+
+\intitem[3]{maxitems}
+
+Similar to \opt{maxnames}, but affecting all literal lists (\bibfield{publisher}, \bibfield{location}, etc.).
+
+\intitem[1]{minitems}
+
+Similar to \opt{minnames}, but affecting all literal lists (\bibfield{publisher}, \bibfield{location}, etc.).
+
+\optitem{autocite}{\opt{plain}, \opt{inline}, \opt{footnote}, \opt{superscript}, \opt{...}}
+
+This option controls the behavior of the \cmd{autocite} command discussed in \secref{use:cit:aut}. The \opt{plain} option makes \cmd{autocite} behave like \cmd{cite}, \opt{inline} makes it behave like \cmd{parencite}, \opt{footnote} makes it behave like \cmd{footcite}, and \opt{superscript} makes it behave like \cmd{supercite}. The options \opt{plain}, \opt{inline}, and \opt{footnote} are always available, the \opt{superscript} option is only provided by the numeric citation styles which come with this package. The citation style may also define additional options. The default setting of this option depends on the selected citation style, see \secref{use:xbx:cbx}.
+
+\boolitem[true]{autopunct}
+
+This option controls whether the citation commands scan ahead for punctuation marks. See \secref{use:cit} and \cmd{DeclareAutoPunctuation} in \secref{aut:pct:cfg} for details.
+
+\optitem[autobib]{language}{\opt{autobib}, \opt{autocite}, \opt{auto}, \prm{language}}
+
+This option controls multilingual support. By default \biblatex automatically picks up the active surrounding language from the \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} package\footnote{Note that \biblatex has only limited support for \sty{polyglossia} versions prior to v1.45. If \sty{polyglossia} is used, it should be updated to version~1.45 (2019/10/27) or above.} (and fall back to English if \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} is not available). \opt{autobib} switches the language for each entry in the bibliography using the \bibfield{langid} field and the language environment specified by the \opt{autolang} option. \opt{autocite} switches the language for each citation using the \bibfield{langid} field and the language environment specified by the \opt{autolang} option. \opt{auto} is a shorthand to set both \opt{autobib} and \opt{autocite}. It is also possible to select the package language manually. In this case, the language chosen will override the \bibfield{langid} of entries and you should still choose a language switching environment with the \opt{autolang} option to select how the switch to the manually chosen language is handled. Please refer to \tabref{bib:fld:tab1} for a list of supported languages and the corresponding identifiers.
+
+\boolitem[true]{clearlang}
+
+If this option is enabled, \biblatex will automatically clear the \bibfield{language} field of all entries whose language matches the \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} language of the document (or the language specified explicitly with the \opt{language} option) in order to omit redundant language specifications. The language mappings required by this feature are provided by the \cmd{DeclareRedundantLanguages} command from \secref{aut:lng:cmd}.
+This option is also settable on a per-type and per-entry basis.
+
+\optitem[none]{autolang}{\opt{none}, \opt{hyphen}, \opt{other}, \opt{other*}, \opt{langname}}
+
+This option controls which \sty{babel} language environment\footnote{\sty{polyglossia} understands the \sty{babel} language environments too and so this option controls both the \sty{babel} and \sty{polyglossia} language environments.} is used if the \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} package is loaded and a bibliography entry includes a \bibfield{langid} field (see \secref{bib:fld:spc}). Note that regardless of the selected value \biblatex automatically adjusts to the main document language if \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} is loaded. In multilingual documents, it will also continually adjust to the current language as far as citations and the default language of the bibliography is concerned. The effect of additional language adjustment, which can negate the effect of picking up the surrounding language, depends on the language environment selected by this option. The possible choices are:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+
+\item[none]
+Do not use any additional enclosing language environment at all. This means that citations and the bibliography are set in the currently active language---this need not be the main language.
+
+\item[hyphen]
+Enclose the entry in a \env{hyphenrules} environment. This will load hyphenation patterns for the language specified in the \bibfield{langid} field of the entry, if available. Localisation strings and extra language definitions are not changed and taken from the surrounding language environment.
+
+\item[other]
+Enclose the entry in an \env{otherlanguage} environment. This will load hyphenation patterns for the specified language, enable all extra definitions which \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} and \biblatex provide for the respective language, and translate key terms such as <editor> and <volume>. The extra definitions include localisations of the date format, of ordinals, and similar things.
+
+\item[other*]
+Enclose the entry in an \env{otherlanguage*} environment. Please note that \biblatex treats \env{otherlanguage*} like \env{otherlanguage} if \opt{langhook} is set to \opt{extras}.
+
+\item[langname]
+\sty{polyglossia} only. Enclose the entry in a \env{$<$languagename$>$} environment. The benefit of this option value for \sty{polyglossia} users is that it takes note of the \bibfield{langidopts} field so that you can add per-language options to an entry (like selecting a language variant). When using \sty{babel}, this option does the same as the \opt{other} option value.
+
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\optitem[captions]{langhook}{\opt{captions}, \opt{extras}}
+
+This option controls whether bibliography strings and extras are written to \cmd{captions$<$language$>$} or \cmd{extras$<$language$>$}. The exact effect of this option depend on the language package (\sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia}). Broadly speaking, the language switching environments provided by those packages (except \env{hyphenrules}) either switch language captions and extras or only language extras. Hence, if this option is set to \opt{extras}, all language switches will affect \biblatex, whereas with \opt{captions} only language switches that also switch other parts of the document language affect \biblatex.
+
+\optitem[none]{autofieldlang}{\opt{none}, \opt{hyphen}, \opt{other}, \opt{other*}, \opt{langname}}
+
+As \opt{autolang} but controls the language environment at the level of individual multiscript fields or list items in a multiscript field. This environment overrides \opt{autolang} at a more granular level.
+
+\boolitem[false]{autofieldlangstrings}
+
+Whether to also switch \biblatex languages strings when \opt{autofieldlang} is set to <none> or <hyphen> (with \opt{autolang}, this only happens with <other> or <other*>). This allows more fine-grained control over language switching at the entryfield and entryfield item level.
+
+\optitem[none]{block}{\opt{none}, \opt{space}, \opt{par}, \opt{nbpar}, \opt{ragged}}
+
+This option controls the extra spacing between blocks, \ie larger segments of a bibliography entry. The possible choices are:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+
+\item[none] Do not add anything at all.
+
+\item[space] Insert additional horizontal space between blocks. This is similar to the default behavior of the standard \latex document classes.
+
+\item[par] Start a new paragraph for every block. This is similar to the \opt{openbib} option of the standard \latex document classes.
+
+\item[nbpar] Similar to the \opt{par} option, but disallows page breaks at block boundaries and within an entry.
+
+\item[ragged] Inserts a small negative penalty to encourage line breaks at block boundaries and sets the bibliography ragged right.
+
+\end{valuelist}
+
+The \cmd{newblockpunct} command may also be redefined directly to achieve different results, see \secref{use:fmt:fmt}. Also see \secref{aut:pct:new} for additional information.
+
+\boolitem[false]{locallabelwidth}
+
+This option controls whether \cmd{printbibliography} uses a locally calculated value for \cmd{labelnumberwidth} and \cmd{labelalphawidth} or the global value calculated from all entries. The local value is calculated separately for each bibliography and takes into account only the entries displayed in that bibliography. This option is useful if there are several bibliographies with wildly varying label lengths in the same document.
+
+\optitem[foot+end]{notetype}{\opt{foot+end}, \opt{footonly}, \opt{endonly}}
+
+This option controls the behavior of \cmd{mkbibfootnote}, \cmd{mkbibendnote}, and similar wrappers from \secref{aut:fmt:ich}. The possible choices are:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[foot+end] Support both footnotes and endnotes, \ie \cmd{mkbibfootnote} will generate footnotes and \cmd{mkbibendnote} will generate endnotes.
+\item[footonly] Force footnotes, \ie make \cmd{mkbibendnote} generate footnotes.
+\item[endonly] Force endnotes, \ie make \cmd{mkbibfootnote} generate endnotes.
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\optitem[auto]{hyperref}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}, \opt{auto}, \opt{manual}}
+
+Whether or not to transform citations and back references into clickable hyperlinks. This feature requires the \sty{hyperref} package. It also requires support by the selected citation style. All standard styles which ship with this package support hyperlinks. \kvopt{hyperref}{auto} automatically detects if the \sty{hyperref} package has been loaded. This is the default setting. \kvopt{hyperref}{false} explicitly disables links even if \sty{hyperref} is loaded. \kvopt{hyperref}{true} enables links when \sty{hyperref} is loaded, it cannot explicitly enable links if \sty{hyperref} is not loaded, as such it works exactly like \kvopt{hyperref}{auto} except that it will issue a warning if \sty{hyperref} is not loaded. \kvopt{hyperref}{manual} gives full manual control over \sty{hyperref} interaction, it should only be needed by package authors in very special circumstances. With the \kvopt{hyperref}{manual} setting you are responsible to enable or disable \sty{hyperref} support manually with \cmd{BiblatexManualHyperrefOn} or \cmd{BiblatexManualHyperrefOff} yourself. One of the two commands must be called exactly once; \cmd{BiblatexManualHyperrefOn} can only be called after \sty{hyperref} is loaded.
+
+\boolitem[false]{backref}
+
+Whether or not to print back references in the bibliography. The back references are a list of page numbers indicating the pages on which the respective bibliography entry is cited. If there are \env{refsection} environments in the document, the back references are local to the reference sections. Strictly speaking, this option only controls whether the \biblatex package collects the data required to print such references. This feature still has to be supported by the selected bibliography style. All standard styles which come with this package do so.
+
+\optitem[three]{backrefstyle}{\opt{none}, \opt{three}, \opt{two}, \opt{two+}, \opt{three+}, \opt{all+}}
+
+This option controls how sequences of consecutive pages in the list of back references are formatted. The following styles are available:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+
+\item[none] Disable this feature, \ie do not compress the page list.
+
+\item[three] Compress any sequence of three or more consecutive pages to a range, \eg the list <1, 2, 11, 12, 13, 21, 22, 23, 24> is compressed to <1, 2, 11--13, 21--24>.
+
+\item[two] Compress any sequence of two or more consecutive pages to a range, \eg the above list is compressed to <1--2, 11--13, 21--24>.
+
+\item[two+] Similar in concept to \opt{two} but a sequence of exactly two consecutive pages is printed using the starting page and the localisation string \texttt{sequens}, \eg the above list is compressed to <1\,sq., 11--13, 21--24>.
+
+\item[three+] Similar in concept to \opt{two+} but a sequence of exactly three consecutive pages is printed using the starting page and the localisation string \texttt{sequentes}, \eg the above list is compressed to <1\,sq., 11\,sqq., 21--24>.
+
+\item[all+] Similar in concept to \opt{three+} but any sequence of consecutive pages is printed as an open-ended range, \eg the above list is compressed to <1\,sq., 11\,sqq., 21\,sqq.>.
+
+\end{valuelist}
+
+All styles support both Arabic and Roman numerals. In order to avoid potentially ambiguous lists, different sets of numerals will not be mixed when generating ranges, \eg the list <iii, iv, v, 6, 7, 8> is compressed to <iii--v, 6--8>.
+
+\optitem[setonly]{backrefsetstyle}{\opt{setonly}, \opt{memonly}, \opt{setormem}, \opt{setandmem}, \opt{memandset}, \opt{setplusmem}}
+
+This option controls how back references to \bibtype{set} entries and their members are handled. The following options are available:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+
+\item[setonly] All back references are added to the \bibtype{set} entry. The \bibfield{pageref} lists of set members remain blank.
+
+\item[memonly] References to set members are added to the respective member. References to the \bibtype{set} entry are added to all members. The \bibfield{pageref} list of the \bibtype{set} entry remains blank.
+
+\item[setormem] References to the \bibtype{set} entry are added to the \bibtype{set} entry. References to set members are added to the respective member.
+
+\item[setandmem] References to the \bibtype{set} entry are added to the \bibtype{set} entry. References to set members are added to the respective member and to the \bibtype{set} entry.
+
+\item[memandset] References to the \bibtype{set} entry are added to the \bibtype{set} entry and to all members. References to set members are added to the respective member.
+
+\item[setplusmem] References to the \bibtype{set} entry are added to the \bibtype{set} entry and to all members. References to set members are added to the respective member and to the \bibtype{set} entry.
+
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\boolitem[true]{backreffloats}
+
+Whether to enable back references to citations in floats.
+
+
+\optitem[false]{indexing}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}, \opt{cite}, \opt{bib}}
+
+This option controls indexing in citations and in the bibliography. More precisely, it affects the \cmd{ifciteindex} and \cmd{ifbibindex} commands from \secref{aut:aux:tst}. The option is settable on a global, a per-type, or on a per-entry basis. The possible choices are:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] Enable indexing globally.
+\item[false] Disable indexing globally.
+\item[cite] Enable indexing in citations only.
+\item[bib] Enable indexing in the bibliography only.
+\end{valuelist}
+
+This feature requires support by the selected citation style. All standard styles which come with this package support indexing of both citations and entries in the bibliography. Note that you still need to enable indexing globally with \cmd{makeindex} to get an index.
+
+\boolitem[false]{loadfiles}
+
+This option controls whether external files requested by way of the \cmd{printfile} command are loaded. See also \secref{use:use:prf} and \cmd{printfile} in \secref{aut:bib:dat}. Note that this feature is disabled by default for performance reasons.
+
+\optitem[none]{refsection}{\opt{none}, \opt{part}, \opt{chapter}, \opt{chapter+}, \opt{section}, \opt{section+}, \opt{subsection}, \opt{subsection+}}
+
+This option automatically starts a new reference section at a document division such as a chapter or a section. This is equivalent to the \cmd{newrefsection} command, see \secref{use:bib:sec} for details. The following choice of document divisions is available:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[none] Disable this feature.
+\item[part] Start a reference section at every \cmd{part} command.
+\item[chapter] Start a reference section at every \cmd{chapter} command.
+\item[chapter+] Start a reference section at every \cmd{chapter} and every higher level of sectioning, i.e. \cmd{part}.
+\item[section] Start a reference section at every \cmd{section} command.
+\item[section+] Start a reference section at every \cmd{section} and every higher level of sectioning, i.e. \cmd{part} and \cmd{chapter} (if available).
+\item[subsection] Start a reference section at every \cmd{subsection} command.
+\item[subsection+] Start a reference section at every \cmd{subsection} and every higher level of sectioning, i.e. \cmd{part}, \cmd{chapter} (if available) and \cmd{section}.
+\end{valuelist}
+%
+The starred versions of these commands will not start a new reference section.
+
+\optitem[none]{refsegment}{\opt{none}, \opt{part}, \opt{chapter}, \opt{chapter+}, \opt{section}, \opt{section+}, \opt{subsection}, \opt{subsection+}}
+
+Similar to the \opt{refsection} option but starts a new reference segment. This is equivalent to the \cmd{newrefsegment} command, see \secref{use:bib:seg} for details. When using both options, note that you can only apply this option to a lower"=level document division than the one \opt{refsection} is applied to and that nested reference segments will be local to the enclosing reference section.
+
+\optitem[none]{citereset}{\opt{none}, \opt{part}, \opt{chapter}, \opt{chapter+}, \opt{section}, \opt{section+}, \opt{subsection}, \opt{subsection+}}
+
+This option automatically executes the \cmd{citereset} command from \secref{use:cit:msc} at a document division such as a chapter or a section. The following choice of document divisions is available:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[none] Disable this feature.
+\item[part] Perform a reset at every \cmd{part} command.
+\item[chapter] Perform a reset at every \cmd{chapter} command.
+\item[chapter+] Perform a reset at every \cmd{chapter} and \cmd{part} command.
+\item[section] Perform a reset at every \cmd{section} command.
+\item[section+] Perform a reset at every \cmd{section}, \prm{chapter} (if supported by the class) and \cmd{part} command.
+\item[subsection] Perform a reset at every \cmd{subsection} command.
+\item[subsection+] Perform a reset at every \cmd{subsection}, \cmd{section}, \prm{chapter} (if supported by the class) and \cmd{part} command.
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\boolitem[true]{abbreviate}
+
+Whether or not to use long or abbreviated strings in citations and in the bibliography. This option affects the localisation modules. If this option is enabled, key terms such as <editor> are abbreviated. If not, they are written out.
+This option is also settable on a per-type or per-entry basis.
+
+\optitem[comp]{date}{\opt{year}, \opt{short}, \opt{long}, \opt{terse}, \opt{comp}, \opt{ymd}, \opt{iso}}
+
+This option controls the basic format of printed date specifications. The following choices are available:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[year] Use only years, for example:\par
+2010\par
+2010--2012\par
+\item[short] Use the short format with verbose ranges, for example:\par
+01/01/2010\par
+21/01/2010--30/01/2010\par
+01/21/2010--01/30/2010
+\item[long] Use the long format with verbose ranges, for example:\par
+1st January 2010\par
+21st January 2010--30th January 2010\par
+January 21, 2010--January 30, 2010\par
+\item[terse] Use the short format with compact ranges, for example:\par
+21--30/01/2010\par
+01/21--01/30/2010
+\item[comp] Use the long format with compact ranges, for example:\par
+21st--30th January 2010\par
+January 21--30, 2010\par
+\item[iso] Use ISO8601 Extended Format (\texttt{yyyy-mm-dd}), for example:\par
+2010-01-01\par
+2010-01-21/2010-01-30
+\item[ymd] A year-month-day format which can be modified by other options unlike strict \acr{ISO8601-2}, for example:\par
+2010-1-1\par
+2010-1-21/2010-1-30
+\end{valuelist}
+%
+Note that \opt{iso} format will enforce \kvopt{dateera}{astronomical}, \kvopt{datezeros}{true}, \kvopt{timezeros}{true}, \kvopt{seconds}{true}, \kvopt{$<$datetype$>$time}{24h} and \kvopt{julian}{false}. \opt{ymd} is an EDTF-like format but which can change the various options which the strict \opt{iso} option does not allow for.
+
+As seen in the above examples, the actual date format is language specific. Note that the month name in all long formats is responsive to the \opt{abbreviate} package option. The leading zeros for months and days in all short formats may be controlled separately with the \opt{datezeros} package option. The leading zeros for hours, minutes and seconds in all short formats may be controlled separately with the \opt{timezeros} package option. If outputting times, the printing of seconds and timezones is controlled by the \opt{seconds} and \opt{timezones} options respectively.
+
+The options \opt{julian} and \opt{gregorianstart} may be used to control when to output Julian Calendar dates.
+
+\optitem[year]{labeldate}{\opt{year}, \opt{short}, \opt{long}, \opt{terse}, \opt{comp}, \opt{ymd}, \opt{iso}}
+
+Similar to the \opt{date} option but controls the format of the date field selected with \cmd{DeclareLabeldate}.
+
+\optitem[comp]{$<$datetype$>$date}{\opt{year}, \opt{short}, \opt{long}, \opt{terse}, \opt{comp}, \opt{ymd}, \opt{iso}}
+
+Similar to the \opt{date} option but controls the format of the \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$date} field in the datamodel.
+
+\optitem{alldates}{\opt{year}, \opt{short}, \opt{long}, \opt{terse}, \opt{comp}, \opt{ymd}, \opt{iso}}
+
+Sets the option for all dates in the datamodel to the same value. The date fields in the default data model are \bibfield{date}, \bibfield{origdate}, \bibfield{eventdate} and \bibfield{urldate}.
+
+\boolitem[false]{julian}
+
+This option controls whether dates before the date specified in the \opt{gregorianstart} option will be converted automatically to the Julian Calendar. Dates so changed will return <true> for the \cmd{ifdatejulian} and \cmd{if$<$datetype$>$datejulian} tests (see \secref{aut:aux:tst}). Please bear in mind that dates consisting of just a year like <1565> will never be converted to a Julian Calendar date because a date without a month and day has an ambiguous Julian Calendar representation\footnote{This is potentially true for dates missing times too but this is not relevant for bibliographic work.}. For example, in the case of <1565>, this is Julian year <1564> until after the Gregorian date <10th January 1565> when the Julian year becomes <1565>.
+
+\valitem{gregorianstart}{YYYY-MM-DD}
+
+This option controls the date before which dates are converted to the Julian Calendar. It is a strict format string, 4-digit year, 2-digit month and day, separated by a single dash character (any valid Unicode character with the <Dash> property). The default is '1582-10-15', the date of the instigation of the standard Gregorian Calendar. This option does not nothing unless \opt{julian} is set to <true>.
+
+\boolitem[true]{datezeros}
+
+This option controls whether \texttt{short} and \texttt{terse} date components are printed with leading zeros unless overridden by specific formatting.
+
+\boolitem[true]{timezeros}
+
+This option controls whether time components are printed with leading zeros unless overridden by specific formatting.
+
+\boolitem[false]{timezones}
+
+This option controls whether timezones are printed when printing times.
+
+\boolitem[false]{seconds}
+
+This option controls whether seconds are printed when printing times.
+
+\boolitem[true]{dateabbrev}
+
+This option controls whether \texttt{long} and \texttt{comp} dates are printed with long or abbreviated month/yeardivision names. The option is similar to the generic \opt{abbreviate} option but specific to the date formatting.
+This option is also settable on a per-type and per-entry basis.
+
+\boolitem[false]{datecirca}
+
+This option controls whether to output <circa> information about dates. If set to \opt{true}, dates will be preceded by the expansion of the \cmd{datecircaprint} macro (\secref{use:fmt:fmt}).
+
+\boolitem[false]{dateuncertain}
+
+This option controls whether to output uncertainty information about dates. If set to \opt{true}, dates will be followed by the expansion of the \cmd{dateuncertainprint} macro and end dates will be followed by the \cmd{enddateuncertainprint} macro (\secref{use:fmt:fmt}).
+
+\optitem[astronomical]{dateera}{\opt{astronomical}, \opt{secular}, \opt{christian}}
+
+This option controls how date era information is printed. <astronomical> uses \cmd{dateeraprintpre} to print era information \emph{before} start/end dates. <secular> and <christian> uses \cmd{dateeraprint} to print era information \emph{after} the start/end/dates. By default <astronomical> results in a minus sign before BCE/BC dates and <secular>/<christian> results in the relevant localisation strings like <BCE> or <BC> after BCE/BC dates. See the relevant comments in \secref{use:fmt:fmt} and the localisation strings in \secref{aut:lng:key:dt}.
+
+\intitem[0]{dateeraauto}
+
+This option sets the astronomical year, below which era localisation strings are automatically added. This option does nothing without \opt{dateera} being set to <secular> or <christian>.
+
+\optitem[24h]{time}{\opt{12h}, \opt{24h}, \opt{24hcomp}}
+
+This option controls the basic format of printed time specifications. The following choices are available:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[24h] 24-hour format, for example:\par
+14:03:23\par
+14:3:23\par
+14:03:23+05:00\par
+14:03:23Z\par
+14:21:23--14:23:45\par
+14:23:23--14:23:45\par
+\item[24hcomp] 24-hour format with compressed ranges, for example:\par
+14:21--23 (hours are the same)\par
+14:23:23--45 (hour and minute are the same)\par
+\item[12h] 12-hour format with (localised) AM/PM markers, for example:\par
+2:34 PM\par
+2:34 PM--3:50 PM\par
+\end{valuelist}
+%
+As seen in the above examples, the actual time format is language specific. Note that the AM/PM string is responsive to the \opt{abbreviate} package option, if this makes a difference in the specific locale. The leading zeros in the 24-hour formats may be controlled separately with the \opt{timezeros} package option. The separator between time components (\cmd{bibtimesep} and \cmd{bibtzminsep}) and between the time and any timezone (\cmd{bibtimezonesep}) are also language specific and customisable, see \secref{use:fmt:lng}. There are global package options which determine whether seconds and timezones are printed (\opt{seconds} and \opt{timezones}, respectively, see \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}). Timezones, if present, are either <Z> or a numeric positive or negative offset. No default styles print time information. Custom styles may print times by using the \cmd{print$<$datetype$>$time} commands, see \secref{aut:bib:dat}.
+
+\optitem[24h]{labeltime}{\opt{12h}, \opt{24h}, \opt{24hcomp}}
+
+Similar to the \opt{time} option but controls the format of the time part fields obtained from the field selected with \cmd{DeclareLabeldate}.
+
+\optitem[24h]{$<$datetype$>$time}{\opt{12h}, \opt{24h}, \opt{24hcomp}}
+
+Similar to the \opt{time} option but controls the format of the time part fields obtained from the \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$date} field in the datamodel.
+
+\optitem{alltimes}{\opt{12h}, \opt{24h}, \opt{24hcomp}}
+
+Sets \opt{labeltime} and the \opt{$<$datetype$>$time} option for all times in the datamodel to the same value. The date fields supporting time parts in the default data model are \bibfield{date}, \bibfield{origdate}, \bibfield{eventdate} and \bibfield{urldate}.
+
+\boolitem[false]{dateusetime}
+
+Specifies whether to print any time component of a date field after the date component. The separator between the date and time components is \cmd{bibdatetimesep} from \secref{use:fmt:lng}.
+
+\boolitem[false]{labeldateusetime}
+
+Similar to the \opt{dateusetime} option but controls the whether to print time components for the field selected with \cmd{DeclareLabeldate}.
+
+\boolitem[false]{$<$datetype$>$dateusetime}
+
+Similar to the \opt{dateusetime} option but controls the whether to print time components for the \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$date} field in the datamodel.
+
+\boolitem[false]{alldatesusetime}
+
+Sets \opt{labeldateusetime} and the \opt{$<$datetype$>$dateusetime} option for all \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$date} fields in the datamoel.
+
+\boolitem[false]{defernumbers}
+
+In contrast to standard \latex, the numeric labels generated by this package are normally assigned to the full list of references at the beginning of the document body. If this option is enabled, numeric labels (\ie the \bibfield{labelnumber} field discussed in \secref{aut:bbx:fld}) are assigned the first time an entry is printed in any bibliography. See \secref{use:cav:lab} for further explanation. This option requires two \latex runs after the data has been exported to the \file{bbl} file by the backend (in addition to any other runs required by page breaks changing etc.). An important thing to note is that if you are using this option, then changes to options, the \file{bib} file or certain commands like \cmd{printbibliography} will usually require that you delete your current \file{aux} file and re-run \latex to obtain the correct numbering. See \secref{aut:int}.
+
+\boolitem[false]{punctfont}
+
+This option enables an alternative mechanism for dealing with unit punctuation after a field printed in a different font (for example, a title printed in italics). See \cmd{setpunctfont} in \secref{aut:pct:new} for details.
+
+\optitem[abs]{arxiv}{\opt{abs}, \opt{ps}, \opt{pdf}, \opt{format}}
+
+Path selector for arXiv links. If hyperlink support is enabled, this option controls which version of the document the arXiv \bibfield{eprint} links will point to. The following choices are available:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[abs] Link to the abstract page.
+\item[ps] Link to the PostScript version.
+\item[pdf] Link to the \pdf version.
+\item[format] Link to the format selector page.
+\end{valuelist}
+
+See \secref{use:use:epr} for details on support for arXiv and electronic publishing information.
+
+\optitem[auto]{texencoding}{\opt{auto}, \prm{encoding}}
+
+Specifies the encoding of the \file{tex} file. This option affects the data transferred from the backend to \biblatex. This corresponds to \biber's \opt{--output-encoding} option. The following choices are available:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+
+\item[auto] Try to auto-detect the input encoding. If the \sty{inputenc}\slash \sty{inputenx}\slash \sty{luainputenc} package is available, \biblatex will get the main encoding from that package. If not, it assumes \utf encoding if a \latex format using at least the April 2018 version of the kernel, \xetex or \luatex has been detected, and \acr{US-ASCII} otherwise.
+
+\item[\prm{encoding}] Specifies the \prm{encoding} explicitly. This is for odd cases in which auto-detection fails or you want to force a certain encoding for some reason.
+
+\end{valuelist}
+%
+Note that setting \kvopt{texencoding}{\prm{encoding}} will also affect the \opt{bibencoding} option if \kvopt{bibencoding}{auto}.
+
+\optitem[auto]{bibencoding}{\opt{auto}, \prm{encoding}}
+
+Specifies the default encoding of the \file{bib} files. This can be overridden on a per-datasource basis using the \opt{bibencoding} option to \cmd{addbibresource}, see \secref{use:bib:res}. This option corresponds to \biber's \opt{--input-encoding} option. The following choices are available:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+
+\item[auto] Use this option if the workflow is transparent, \ie if the encoding of the \file{bib} file is identical to the encoding of the \file{tex} file.
+
+\item[\prm{encoding}] If the encoding of the \file{bib} file is different from the one of the \file{tex} file, you need to specify it explicitly.
+
+\end{valuelist}
+
+By default, \biblatex assumes that the \file{tex} file and the \file{bib} file use the same encoding (\kvopt{bibencoding}{auto}).
+
+\boolitem[false]{safeinputenc}
+
+If this option is enabled, \biblatex will automatically force \kvopt{texencoding}{ascii} if the \sty{inputenc}\slash \sty{inputenx} package has been loaded and the input encoding is \utf, \ie it will ignore any macro-based \utf support and use \acr{US-ASCII} only. \biber will then try to convert any non-\acr{US-ASCII} data in the \file{bib} file to \acr{US-ASCII}. For example, it will convert \texttt{\d{S}} to |\d{S}|. See \secref{bib:cav:enc:enc} for an explanation of why you may want to enable this option.
+
+\boolitem[true]{bibwarn}
+
+By default, \biblatex will report warnings issued by the backend concerning the data in the \file{bib} file as \latex warnings. Use this option to suppress such warnings.
+
+\intitem[2]{mincrossrefs}
+
+Sets the minimum number of cross references to \prm{integer} when requesting a backend run.\footnote{If an entry which is cross-referenced by other entries in the \file{bib} file hits this threshold, it is included in the bibliography even if it has not been cited explicitly. This is a standard feature of the \bibtex format and not specific to \biblatex. See the description of the \bibfield{crossref} field in \secref{bib:fld:spc} for further information.} This option also affects the handling of the \bibfield{xref} field. See the field description in \secref{bib:fld:spc} as well as \secref{bib:cav:ref} for details.
+
+\intitem[2]{minxrefs}
+
+As \opt{mincrossrefs} but for \bibfield{xref} fields.
+
+\boolitem[true]{bibtexcaseprotection}
+
+This option only has an effect when the \sty{expl3} implementation of the case changing functions is selected. If the option is set to \opt{true}, \cmd{MakeSentenceCase*} supports brace protection of words from case change as in classical \bibtex. If the option is set to \opt{false}, pairs of braces no longer imply case protection, which can now be enforced by wrapping the relevant word in \cmd{NoCaseChange}---this makes for a less confusing, if more verbose, markup of case protection.
+
+\end{optionlist}
+
+\paragraph{Style-specific}
+\label{use:opt:pre:bbx}
+
+The following options are provided by all standard bibliography styles (as opposed to the core package). The options are available as preamble options like those in \secref{use:opt:pre:gen} and at a per-type and per-entry scope.
+
+\begin{optionlist}
+
+\boolitem[true]{isbn}
+
+This option controls whether the fields \bibfield{isbn}\slash \bibfield{issn}\slash \bibfield{isrn} are printed.
+
+\boolitem[true]{url}
+
+This option controls whether the \bibfield{url} field and the access date is printed. The option only affects entry types whose \bibfield{url} information is optional. The \bibfield{url} field of \bibtype{online} entries is always printed.
+
+\boolitem[true]{doi}
+
+This option controls whether the field \bibfield{doi} is printed.
+
+\boolitem[true]{eprint}
+
+This option controls whether \bibfield{eprint} information is printed.
+
+\boolitem[true]{related}
+
+Whether to use information from related entries or not. See \secref{use:rel}.
+
+\end{optionlist}
+
+\subparagraph{\texttt{alphabetic}/\texttt{numeric}} Additionally, styles of the \texttt{alphabetic} and \texttt{numeric} family support the \opt{subentry} option in global, per-type and per-entry scope.
+
+\begin{optionlist}
+
+\boolitem[false]{subentry}
+
+This option affects the handling of citations to set members and the display of sets in the bibliography. If the option is enabled, citations to individual set members feature an additional letter that identifies the member, that letter is also printed in the bibliography. If the option is disabled, a citation to the member of a set will display just as a citation to the entire set and there will be no additional letters in the bibliography entries enumerating the members.
+
+Suppose \texttt{key1} and \texttt{key2} are members of the set \texttt{set1}. With \opt{subentry} set to \texttt{true} in a numeric style a citation to \texttt{key1} will show as <[1a]> and a citation to \texttt{key2} as <[1b]>, while the entire set \texttt{set1} will be cited as <[1]>. Furthermore <(a)> and <(b)> will be added in front of the entry data for the set members in the bibliography entry for the set. With \opt{subentry} set to \texttt{false} citations to all three keys will show as <[1]>, no additional letter will be printed in the bibliography.
+
+\end{optionlist}
+
+\subparagraph{\texttt{numeric-comp}} The citation style \texttt{numeric-comp} supports the \opt{subentrycomp} option in global, per-type and per-entry scope.
+
+\begin{optionlist}
+
+\boolitem[true]{subentrycomp}
+
+This option determines whether or not citations to set members are compressed similar to non-set citations. The option only has an effect if \opt{subentry} is set to \texttt{true}.
+
+Suppose \texttt{key1}, \texttt{key2} and \texttt{key3} are members of the set \texttt{set1}. With \opt{subentrycomp} set to \texttt{true} the three entries will be compressed to <[1a--c]> in citations. With \opt{subentry} set to \texttt{false} the citation will show in the more verbose form <[1a, 1b, 1c]>.
+
+The option is intended mainly for backwards compatibility, because earlier versions of \biblatex did not compress set member citations.
+
+\end{optionlist}
+
+\subparagraph{\texttt{authortitle}/\texttt{authoryear}} All bibliography styles of the \texttt{authoryear} and \texttt{authortitle} family as well as all bibliography styles of the \texttt{verbose} family---whose bibliography styles are based on \texttt{authortitle}---support the option \opt{dashed} in global scope.
+
+\begin{optionlist}
+
+\boolitem[true]{dashed}
+
+This option controls whether recurrent the same author\slash editor list in the bibliography are replaced by a dash (\cmd{bibnamdeash}, see \secref{use:fmt:fmt}). If the option is enabled, subsequent mentions of the same name list at the beginning of an entry are replaced by a dash provided the entry is not the first on the current page. If the option is disabled, name lists are never replaced by a dash.
+
+\end{optionlist}
+
+\subparagraph{\texttt{authoryear}} Bibliography styles of the \texttt{authoryear} family provide the option \opt{mergedate} in global, per-type and per-entry scope.
+
+\begin{optionlist}
+
+\optitem[true]{mergedate}{\opt{false}, \opt{minimum}, \opt{basic}, \opt{compact}, \opt{maximum}, \opt{true}}
+
+This option controls whether and how the date specification in the entry is merged with the date label shown directly after the author\slash editor list.
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[false] Strictly separate the date specification shown in the entry (styled with \opt{date}) from the date label (styled with \opt{labeldate}). The date will always be shown twice.
+\item[minimum] Omit the date specification whenever it coincides \emph{exactly}---including \bibfield{extradate} information---with the output of the date label.
+\item[basic] Similar to \opt{minimum}, but the date specification will also be omitted if it differs from the date label only by the absence of the \bibfield{extradate} letter.
+\item[compact] Merges all date specifications with the date label. The date format of that merged date label is controlled by \opt{date}, not \opt{labeldate}, even if it is printed in the position of the date label. The \bibfield{issue} field is not merged.
+\item[maximum] Like \opt{compact}, but if present the \bibfield{issue} field will also be moved into the date label at the beginning of the entry.
+\item[true] An alias for \opt{compact}.
+\end{valuelist}
+
+More in-depth examples of this option can be found in the style examples.
+\end{optionlist}
+
+\subparagraph{<ibid> styles} Citation styles with <ibid.>\ function, namely \texttt{authortitle-ibid}, \texttt{author\allowbreakhere title-icomp}, \texttt{author\allowbreakhere year-ibid}, \texttt{authoryear-icomp}, \texttt{ver\allowbreakhere bose-ibid}, \texttt{verbose-inote}, \texttt{verbose-trad1}, \texttt{verbose-trad2} and \texttt{verbose-trad3} provide the global \opt{ibidpage} option.
+
+\begin{optionlist}
+
+\boolitem[false]{ibidpage}
+
+Whether \emph{ibidem} without page reference means <same work> or <same work + same page>. If set to \texttt{true} a page range postnote will be suppressed in an \emph{ibidem} citation if the last citation was to the same page range. With \texttt{ibidpage=false} the postnote is not omitted. Citations to different page ranges than the previous always produce the page ranges with either setting.
+
+\end{optionlist}
+
+\subparagraph{\texttt{verbose}} All citation styles of the \texttt{verbose} family provide the global option \opt{citepages}.
+
+\begin{optionlist}
+
+\optitem[permit]{citepages}{\opt{permit}, \opt{suppress}, \opt{omit}, \opt{separate}}
+
+This option controls the output of the \bibfield{page}\slash\bibfield{pagetotal} field in the full citation in combination with a postnote containing a page range. The option can be used to suppress references to two page ranges in full citations like the following
+
+\begin{quote}
+Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} pp.\,100--150, p.\,125.
+\end{quote}
+
+Here <p.\,125> is the \bibfield{postnote} argument and <pp.\,100--150> is the value of the \bibfield{pages} field.
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[permit] Allow duplication of page specifications, i.e.\ print both \bibfield{page}\slash\bibfield{pagetotal} and \bibfield{postnote}.
+\item[suppress] Unconditionally suppress the \bibfield{pages}\slash \bibfield{pagetotal} fields in citations, regardless of the \bibfield{postnote}.
+\item[omit] Suppress the \bibfield{pages}\slash \bibfield{pagetotal} if the \bibfield{postnote} contains a page range. They are still printed if there is no \bibfield{postnote} or if the \bibfield{postnote} is not a number or range.
+\item[separate] Separate the \bibfield{pages}\slash \bibfield{pagetotal} from the \bibfield{postnote} if the latter contains a page range. The string \texttt{thiscite} is added to separate the two page ranges.
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\end{optionlist}
+
+\subparagraph{\texttt{verbose-trad}} The citation styles of the \texttt{verbose-trad} family support the global option \opt{strict}.
+
+\begin{optionlist}
+
+\boolitem[false]{strict}
+
+This option allows to restrict the use of the scholarly abbreviations <ibid.> and <op.~cit.> to avoid ambiguities. If the option is set to \texttt{true} these terms will only be used if the relevant work was cited in the same or previous footnote.
+
+\end{optionlist}
+
+\subparagraph{\texttt{reading}} The \texttt{reading} style supports a number of additional options, but these are not of general interest and can be found in the style example.
+
+
+\paragraph{Internal}
+\label{use:opt:pre:int}
+
+The default settings of the following preamble options are controlled by bibliography and citation styles. Apart from the \opt{pagetracker} and \opt{$<$name$>$inits} options, which you may want to adapt, there is normally no need to set them explicitly.
+
+\begin{optionlist}
+
+\optitem[false]{pagetracker}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}, \opt{page}, \opt{spread}}
+
+This option controls the page tracker which is required by the \cmd{ifsamepage} and \cmd{iffirstonpage} tests from \secref{aut:aux:tst}. The possible choices are:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] Enable the tracker in automatic mode. This is like \opt{spread} if \latex is in twoside mode, and like \opt{page} otherwise.
+\item[false] Disable the tracker.
+\item[page] Enable the tracker in page mode. In this mode, tracking works on a per"=page basis.
+\item[spread] Enable the tracker in spread mode. In this mode, tracking works on a per"=spread (double page) basis.
+\end{valuelist}
+
+Note that this tracker is disabled in all floats unless explicitly requested with \opt{trackfloats}, see \secref{aut:cav:flt}.
+
+\optitem[false]{citecounter}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}, \opt{context}}
+
+This option controls the citation counter which is required by \cnt{citecounter} from \secref{aut:aux:tst}. The possible choices are:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] Enable the citation counter in global mode.
+\item[false] Disable the citation counter.
+\item[context] Enable the citation counter in context"=sensitive mode. In this mode, citations in footnotes and in the body text are counted independently.
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\optitem[false]{citetracker}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}, \opt{context}, \opt{strict}, \opt{constrict}}
+
+This option controls the citation tracker which is required by the \cmd{ifciteseen} and \cmd{ifentryseen} tests from \secref{aut:aux:tst}. The possible choices are:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] Enable the tracker in global mode.
+\item[false] Disable the tracker.
+\item[context] Enable the tracker in context"=sensitive mode. In this mode, citations in footnotes and in the body text are tracked independently.
+\item[strict] Enable the tracker in strict mode. In this mode, an item is only considered by the tracker if it appeared in a stand-alone citation, \ie if a single entry key was passed to the citation command.
+\item[constrict] This mode combines the features of \opt{context} and \opt{strict}.
+\end{valuelist}
+
+Note that this tracker is disabled in all floats unless explicitly requested with \opt{trackfloats}, see \secref{aut:cav:flt}.
+This option is also settable on a per-type or per-entry basis.
+
+\optitem[false]{ibidtracker}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}, \opt{context}, \opt{strict}, \opt{constrict}}
+
+This option controls the <ibidem> tracker which is required by the \cmd{ifciteibid} test from \secref{aut:aux:tst}. The possible choices are:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] Enable the tracker in global mode.
+\item[false] Disable the tracker.
+\item[context] Enable the tracker in context"=sensitive mode. In this mode, citations in footnotes and in the body text are tracked separately.
+\item[strict] Enable the tracker in strict mode. In this mode, potentially ambiguous references are suppressed. A reference is considered ambiguous if either the current citation (the one including the <ibidem>) or the previous citation (the one the <ibidem> refers to) consists of a list of references.\footnote{For example, suppose the initial citation is «Jones, \emph{Title}; Williams, \emph{Title}» and the following one «ibidem». From a technical point of view, it is fairly clear that the <ibidem> refers to <Williams> because this is the last reference processed by the previous citation command. To a human reader, however, this may not be obvious because the <ibidem> may also refer to both titles. The strict mode avoids such ambiguous references.}
+\item[constrict] This mode combines the features of \opt{context} and \opt{strict}. It also keeps track of footnote numbers and detects potentially ambiguous references in footnotes in a stricter way than the \opt{strict} option. In addition to the conditions imposed by the \opt{strict} option, a reference in a footnote will only be considered as unambiguous if the current citation and the previous citation are given in the same footnote or in immediately consecutive footnotes.
+\end{valuelist}
+
+Note that this tracker is disabled in all floats unless explicitly requested with \opt{trackfloats}, see \secref{aut:cav:flt}.
+This option is also settable on a per-type or per-entry basis.
+
+\optitem[false]{opcittracker}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}, \opt{context}, \opt{strict}, \opt{constrict}}
+
+This option controls the <opcit> tracker which is required by the \cmd{ifopcit} test from \secref{aut:aux:tst}. This feature is similar to the <ibidem> tracker, except that it tracks citations on a per-author/editor basis, \ie \cmd{ifopcit} will yield \texttt{true} if the cited item is the same as the last one by this author\slash editor. The possible choices are:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] Enable the tracker in global mode.
+\item[false] Disable the tracker.
+\item[context] Enable the tracker in context"=sensitive mode. In this mode, citations in footnotes and in the body text are tracked separately.
+\item[strict] Enable the tracker in strict mode. In this mode, potentially ambiguous references are suppressed. See \kvopt{ibidtracker}{strict} for details.
+\item[constrict] This mode combines the features of \opt{context} and \opt{strict}. See the explanation of \kvopt{ibidtracker}{constrict} for details.
+\end{valuelist}
+
+Note that this tracker is disabled in all floats unless explicitly requested with \opt{trackfloats}, see \secref{aut:cav:flt}.
+This option is also settable on a per-type or per-entry basis.
+
+\optitem[false]{loccittracker}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}, \opt{context}, \opt{strict}, \opt{constrict}}
+
+This option controls the <loccit> tracker which is required by the \cmd{ifloccit} test from \secref{aut:aux:tst}. This feature is similar to the <opcit> tracker except that it also checks whether the \prm{postnote} arguments match, \ie \cmd{ifloccit} will yield \texttt{true} if the citation refers to the same page cited before. The possible choices are:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] Enable the tracker in global mode.
+\item[false] Disable the tracker.
+\item[context] Enable the tracker in context"=sensitive mode. In this mode, citations in footnotes and in the body text are tracked separately.
+\item[strict] Enable the tracker in strict mode. In this mode, potentially ambiguous references are suppressed. See \kvopt{ibidtracker}{strict} for details. In addition to that, this mode also checks if the \prm{postnote} argument is numerical (based on \cmd{ifnumerals} from \secref{aut:aux:tst}).
+\item[constrict] This mode combines the features of \opt{context} and \opt{strict}. See the explanation of \kvopt{ibidtracker}{constrict} for details. In addition to that, this mode also checks if the \prm{postnote} argument is numerical (based on \cmd{ifnumerals} from \secref{aut:aux:tst}).
+\end{valuelist}
+
+Note that this tracker is disabled in all floats unless explicitly requested with \opt{trackfloats}, see \secref{aut:cav:flt}.
+This option is also settable on a per-type or per-entry basis.
+
+\optitem[false]{idemtracker}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}, \opt{context}, \opt{strict}, \opt{constrict}}
+
+This option controls the <idem> tracker which is required by the \cmd{ifciteidem} test from \secref{aut:aux:tst}. The possible choices are:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] Enable the tracker in global mode.
+\item[false] Disable the tracker.
+\item[context] Enable the tracker in context"=sensitive mode. In this mode, citations in footnotes and in the body text are tracked separately.
+\item[strict] This is an alias for \texttt{true}, provided only for consistency with the other trackers. Since <idem> replacements do not get ambiguous in the same way as <ibidem> or <op.~cit.>, the \texttt{strict} tracking mode does not apply to them.
+\item[constrict] This mode is similar to \opt{context} with one additional condition: a reference in a footnote will only be considered as unambiguous if the current citation and the previous citation are given in the same footnote or in immediately consecutive footnotes.
+\end{valuelist}
+
+Note that this tracker is disabled in all floats unless explicitly requested with \opt{trackfloats}, see \secref{aut:cav:flt}.
+This option is also settable on a per-type or per-entry basis.
+
+\boolitem[false]{trackfloats}
+
+Whether to enable citation tracking in floats. Citation tracking in floats can be tricky, so this option should only be enabled if absolutely necessary and the output should be scrutinised carefully, see also \secref{aut:cav:flt}.
+
+\boolitem[true]{parentracker}
+
+This option controls the parenthesis tracker which keeps track of nested parentheses and brackets. This information is used by \cmd{parentext} and \cmd{brackettext} from \secref{use:cit:txt}, \cmd{mkbibparens} and \cmd{mkbibbrackets} from \secref{aut:fmt:ich} and \cmd{bibopenparen}, \cmd{bibcloseparen}, \cmd{bibopenbracket}, \cmd{bibclosebracket} (also \secref{aut:fmt:ich}).
+
+\intitem[3]{maxparens}
+
+The maximum permitted nesting level of parentheses and brackets. If parentheses and brackets are nested deeper than this value, \biblatex will issue errors.
+
+\boolitem[false]{$<$namepart$>$inits}
+
+The option sets the \cmd{if$<$namepart$>$inits} test from \secref{aut:aux:tst}. \texttt{$<$namepart$>$} is any valid name part as defined in the data model by the \cmd{DeclareDatamodelConstant} command (\secref{aut:bbx:drv}). For the given name, for example, the option becomes \opt{giveninits}.
+This option is also settable on a per-type, per-entry, per-namelist and per-name basis.
+
+If \opt{giveninits} is set to \opt{true}, the default name formats will only render the given name initials and not the full given name. The standard styles only use the test \cmd{ifgiveninits} and hence only respond to the option \opt{giveninits}. Setting the option for a name part different from \texttt{given} has no effect on the default name formats.
+
+Note that sorting and name uniqueness are not automatically affected by this option, these have to be requested explicitly via \cmd{DeclareSortingNamekeyTemplate} and the \opt{uniquename} option (or \cmd{DeclareUniquenameTemplate}), respectively. A warning will be issued if \opt{giveninits} is used together with \opt{uniquename} set to one of the \opt{full} values and \opt{uniquename} is automatically set to the corresponding \opt{init} value.
+
+\boolitem[false]{terseinits}
+
+This option controls the format of all initials generated by \biblatex. If enabled, initials are rendered using a terse format without dots and spaces. For example, the initials of Donald Ervin Knuth would be rendered as <D.~E.> by default, and as <DE> if this option is enabled. The option will affect the \cmd{ifterseinits} test from \secref{aut:aux:tst}. The option works by redefining some macros which control the format of initials. See \secref{use:cav:nam} for details.
+This option is also settable on a per-type, per-entry, per-name and per-namelist basis.
+
+\boolitem[false]{labelalpha}
+
+Whether or not to provide the special fields \bibfield{labelalpha} and \bibfield{extraalpha}, see \secref{aut:bbx:fld} for details.
+This option is also settable on a per-type and per-entry basis. See also \opt{maxalphanames} and \opt{minalphanames}. Table \ref{use:opt:tab1} summarises the various \opt{extra*} disambiguation counters and what they track.
+
+\intitem[3]{maxalphanames}
+
+Similar to the \opt{maxnames} option but customizes the format of the \bibfield{labelalpha} field.
+
+\intitem[1]{minalphanames}
+
+Similar to the \opt{minnames} option but customizes the format of the \bibfield{labelalpha} field.
+
+\boolitem[false]{labelnumber}
+
+Whether or not to provide the special field \bibfield{labelnumber}, see \secref{aut:bbx:fld} for details.
+This option is also settable on a per-type and per-entry basis.
+
+\boolitem[false]{noroman}
+
+Whether or not to try to parse roman numerals encountered in integer fields for sorting purposes. Since \biber also tries to parse alphanumeric values when sorting integer fields, this roman numeral parsing can be a problem when, for example, <C> is encountered as this could be a roman numeral or a simple alphanumeric string which would have a different integer value depending on how it was parsed. It is likely that this is most useful on a per-entry basis for entries that have, for example, a \bibfield{volume} field with values such as <A>, <B>, <C>, <D> which should not be parsed as roman numerals since this would give incorrect integer values for <C> and <D>.
+
+This option is also settable on a per-type and per-entry basis.
+
+\boolitem[false]{labeltitle}
+
+Whether or not to provide the special field \bibfield{extratitle}, see \secref{aut:bbx:fld} for details. Note that the special field \bibfield{labeltitle} is always provided and this option controls rather whether \bibfield{labeltitle} is used to generate \bibfield{extratitle} information. This option is also settable on a per-type and per-entry basis. Table \ref{use:opt:tab1} summarises the various \opt{extra*} disambiguation counters and what they track.
+
+\boolitem[false]{labeltitleyear}
+
+Whether or not to provide the special field \bibfield{extratitleyear}, see \secref{aut:bbx:fld} for details. Note that the special field \bibfield{labeltitle} is always provided and this option controls rather whether \bibfield{labeltitle} is used to generate \bibfield{extratitleyear} information. This option is also settable on a per-type and per-entry basis. Table \ref{use:opt:tab1} summarises the various \opt{extra*} disambiguation counters and what they track.
+
+\boolitem[false]{labeldateparts}
+
+Whether or not to provide the special fields \bibfield{labelyear}, \bibfield{labelmonth}, \bibfield{labelday}, \bibfield{labelendyear}, \bibfield{labelendmonth}, \bibfield{labelendday}, \bibfield{labelhour}, \bibfield{labelendhour}, \bibfield{labelminute}, \bibfield{labelendminute}, \bibfield{labelsecond}, \bibfield{labelendsecond}, \bibfield{labelyeardivision}, \bibfield{labelendyeardivision}, \bibfield{labeltimezone}, \bibfield{labelendtimeone} and \bibfield{extradate}, see \secref{aut:bbx:fld} for details.
+This option is also settable on a per-type and per-entry basis. Table \ref{use:opt:tab1} summarises the various \opt{extra*} disambiguation counters and what they track.

+Whether or not to update the \cnt{uniquename} counter, see \secref{aut:aux:tst} for details. This feature will disambiguate individual names in the \bibfield{labelname} list. This option is also settable on a per-type, per-entry, per-namelist and per-name basis. The possible choices are:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] An alias for \opt{full}.
+\item[false] Disable this feature.
+\item[init] Disambiguate using initials only.
+\item[full] Disambiguate using initials or full names, as required.
+\item[allinit] Similar to \opt{init} but disambiguates all names in the \bibfield{labelname} list, beyond \opt{maxnames}\slash \opt{minnames}\slash \opt{uniquelist}.
+\item[allfull] Similar to \opt{full} but disambiguates all names in the \bibfield{labelname} list, beyond \opt{maxnames}\slash \opt{minnames}\slash \opt{uniquelist}.
+\item[mininit] A variant of \texttt{init} which only disambiguates names in identical lists of base nameparts (by default, lists of family names).
+\item[minfull] A variant of \texttt{full} which only disambiguates names in identical lists of base nameparts (by default, lists of family names).
+\end{valuelist}
+%
+Note that the \opt{uniquename} option will also affect \opt{uniquelist}, the \cmd{ifsingletitle} test, and the \bibfield{extradate} and \bibfield{extraname} fields. See \secref{aut:cav:amb} for further details and practical examples.
+
+\optitem[false]{uniquelist}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}, \opt{minyear}}
+
+Whether or not to update the \cnt{uniquelist} counter, see \secref{aut:aux:tst} for details. This feature will disambiguate the \bibfield{labelname} list if it has become ambiguous after \opt{maxnames}\slash \opt{minnames} truncation. Essentially, it overrides \opt{maxnames}\slash \opt{minnames} on a per-field basis. This option is also settable on a per-type, per-entry and per-namelist basis. The possible choices are:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[true] Disambiguate the \bibfield{labelname} list.
+\item[false] Disable this feature.
+\item[minyear] Disambiguate the \bibfield{labelname} list only if the truncated list is identical to another one with the same \bibfield{labelyear}. This mode of operation is useful for author-year styles and requires \kvopt{labeldateparts}{true}.
+\end{valuelist}
+%
+Note that the \opt{uniquelist} option will also affect the \cmd{ifsingletitle} test and the \bibfield{extradate} and \bibfield{extraname} fields. See \secref{aut:cav:amb} for further details and practical examples.
+
+\boolitem[false]{nohashothers}
+
+By default, name lists which are truncated with <et al>--either explicitly by <and others> in the data source or the \opt{uniquelist} and \opt{min/maxnames} options--result in different name list hashes (and therefore different \opt{extraname} and \opt{extradate} values) and different sorting. This option allows this behaviour to be tuned. When set to \prm{true}, \biber ignores <et al> truncations for the purposes of generating name list hashes. Consider:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Jones 1972
+Jones/and others 1972
+Smith 2000
+Smith/Vogel/Beast/Tremble 2000
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+With \kvopt{maxnames}{3}, \kvopt{minnames}{1}, \kvopt{nohashothers}{false}, the result would be:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+ Jones 1972
+ Jones et al. 1972
+ Smith 2000
+ Smith et al. 2000
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Whereas with \kvopt{maxnames}{3}, \kvopt{minnames}{1}, \kvopt{nohashothers}{true}, the result would be:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+ Jones 1972a
+ Jones et al. 1972b
+ Smith 2000a
+ Smith et al. 2000b
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+If desired, this could be further simplified by removing the <et al.\@>
+to obtain:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+ Jones 1972a
+ Jones 1972b
+ Smith 2000a
+ Smith 2000b
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Note that the \opt{nohashothers} option will affect the \bibfield{extradate} and \bibfield{extraname} fields.
+
+This option is also settable on a per-type, per-entry and per-namelist basis.
+
+\boolitem[false]{nosortothers}
+
+The option has a related to effect to \opt{nohashothers} but applies to sorting--the visible list of names (which is the \opt{minsortnames} value) used to determine sorting will ignore any truncation. This means that with \kvopt{nosortothers}{true}, the name lists:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Jones, Smith
+Jones, Smith et al
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+will sort exactly the same. The default setting of \opt{nosortothers} always sorts in the order shown in the example, that is, by default, truncated names lists always sort after any name lists identical to the point of truncation.
+
+This option is also settable on a per-type, per-entry and per-namelist basis.

+\subsubsection{Entry Options}
+\label{use:opt:bib}
+
+Entry options are package options which determine how bibliography data entries are handled. They may be set at various scopes defined below.
+
+\paragraph{Preamble/Type/Entry Options}
+\label{use:opt:bib:hyb}
+
+The following options are settable on a per"=type basis or on a per"=entry in the \bibfield{options} field. In addition to that, they may also be used in the optional argument to \cmd{usepackage} as well as in the configuration file and the document preamble. This is useful if you want to change the default behaviour globally.
+
+\begin{optionlist}
+
+\boolitem[true]{useauthor}
+
+Whether the \bibfield{author} is used in labels and considered during sorting. This may be useful if an entry includes an \bibfield{author} field but is usually not cited by author for some reason. Setting \kvopt{useauthor}{false} does not mean that the \bibfield{author} is ignored completely. It means that the \bibfield{author} is not used in labels and ignored during sorting. The entry will then be alphabetized by \bibfield{editor} or \bibfield{title}. With the standard styles, the \bibfield{author} is printed after the title in this case. See also \secref{use:srt}.
+This option is also settable on a per-type and per-entry basis.
+
+\boolitem[true]{useeditor}
+
+Whether the \bibfield{editor} replaces a missing \bibfield{author} in labels and during sorting. This may be useful if an entry includes an \bibfield{editor} field but is usually not cited by editor. Setting \kvopt{useeditor}{false} does not mean that the \bibfield{editor} is ignored completely. It means that the \bibfield{editor} does not replace a missing \bibfield{author} in labels and during sorting. The entry will then be alphabetized by \bibfield{title}. With the standard styles, the \bibfield{editor} is printed after the title in this case. See also \secref{use:srt}.
+This option is also settable on a per-type and per-entry basis.
+
+\boolitem[false]{usetranslator}
+
+Whether the \bibfield{translator} replaces a missing \bibfield{author}\slash \bibfield{editor} in labels and during sorting. Setting \kvopt{usetranslator}{true} does not mean that the \bibfield{translator} overrides the \bibfield{author}\slash \bibfield{editor}. It means that the \bibfield{translator} is considered as a fallback if the \bibfield{author}\slash \bibfield{editor} is missing or if \opt{useauthor} and \opt{useeditor} are set to \texttt{false}. In other words, in order to cite a book by translator rather than by author, you need to set the following options:
+This option is also settable on a per-type and per-entry basis.
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at Book{...,
+ options = {useauthor=false,usetranslator=true},
+ author = {...},
+ translator = {...},
+ ...
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+With the standard styles, the \bibfield{translator} is printed after the title by default. See also \secref{use:srt}.
+
+\boolitem[true]{use$<$name$>$}
+
+As per \opt{useauthor}, \opt{useeditor} and \opt{usetranslator}, all name lists defined in the data model have an option controlling their behaviour in sorting and labelling automatically
+defined. Global, per-type and per-entry options called <use$<$name$>$>are automatically created.
+
+\boolitem[false]{useprefix}
+
+Whether the default data model name part <prefix> (von, van, of, da, de, della, etc.) is considered when:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Printing the family name in citations
+\item Sorting
+\item Generation of certain types of labels
+\item Generating name uniqueness information
+\item Formatting aspects of the bibliography
+\end{itemize}
+%
+For example, if this option is enabled, \biblatex precedes the family name with the prefix---Ludwig van Beethoven would be cited as «van Beethoven» and alphabetized as «Van Beethoven, Ludwig». If this option is disabled (the default), he is cited as «Beethoven» and alphabetized as «Beethoven, Ludwig van» instead.
+This option is also settable on a per-type scope. With \biblatexml datasources and the \bibtex extended name format supported by \biber (see \secref{use:enf}), this is also settable on per-namelist and per-name scopes.
+
+\optitem{indexing}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}, \opt{cite}, \opt{bib}}
+
+The \opt{indexing} option is also settable per-type or per-entry basis. See \secref{use:opt:pre:gen} for details.
+
+\boolitem[false]{skipbib}
+
+If this option is enabled, the entry is excluded from the bibliography but it may still be cited.
+This option is also settable on a per-type basis.
+
+\boolitem[false]{skipbiblist}
+
+If this option is enabled, the entry is excluded from bibliography lists. It is still included in the bibliography and it may also be cited by shorthand etc.
+This option is also settable on a per-type basis.
+
+\boolitem[false]{skiplab}
+
+If this option is enabled, \biblatex will not assign any labels to the entry. It is not required for normal operation. Use it with care. If enabled, \biblatex can not guarantee unique citations for the respective entry and citations styles which require labels may fail to create valid citations for the entry.
+This option is also settable on a per-type basis.
+
+\boolitem[false]{dataonly}
+
+Setting this option is equivalent to \kvopt{uniquename}{false}, \kvopt{uniquelist}{false, }\opt{skipbib}, \opt{skipbiblist}, and \opt{skiplab}. It is not required for normal operation. Use it with care.
+This option is also settable on a per-type basis.
+
+\paragraph{Entry Only Options}
+\label{use:opt:bib:entry}
+
+The following options are settable only on a per"=entry in the \bibfield{options} field. They are not available globally or per"=type.
+
+\valitem{labelnamefield}{fieldname}
+
+Specifies the field to consider first when looking for a \bibfield{labelname} candidate. It is essentially prepended to the search list created by \cmd{DeclareLabelname} for just this entry.
+
+\valitem{labeltitlefield}{fieldname}
+
+Specifies the field to consider first when looking for a \bibfield{labeltitle} candidate. It is essentially prepended to the search list created by \cmd{DeclareLabeltitle} for just this entry.
+
+\end{optionlist}
+
+\subsubsection{Legacy Options}
+
+The following legacy option may be used globally in the optional argument to \cmd{documentclass} or locally in the optional argument to \cmd{usepackage}:
+
+\begin{optionlist}
+
+\legitem{openbib}\DeprecatedMark This option is provided for backwards compatibility with the standard LaTeX document classes. \opt{openbib} is similar to \kvopt{block}{par}.
+
+\end{optionlist}
+
+\subsection{Global Customization}
+\label{use:cfg}
+
+Apart from writing new citation and bibliography styles, there are numerous ways to customize the styles which come with this package. Customization will usually take place in the preamble, but there is also a configuration file for permanent adaptions. The configuration file may also be used to initialize the package options to a value different from the package default.
+
+\subsubsection{Configuration File}
+\label{use:cfg:cfg}
+
+If available, this package will load the configuration file \path{biblatex.cfg}. This file is read at the end of the package, immediately after the citation and bibliography styles have been loaded.
+
+\subsubsection{Setting Package Options}
+\label{use:cfg:opt}
+
+The load-time package options in \secref{use:opt:ldt} must be given in the optional argument to \cmd{usepackage}. The package options in \secref{use:opt:pre} may also be given in the preamble. The options are executed with the following command:
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{ExecuteBibliographyOptions}[entrytype, \dots]{key=value, \dots}
+
+This command may also be used in the configuration file to modify the default setting of a package option. Certain options are also settable on a per-type basis. In this case, the optional \prm{entrytype} argument specifies the entry type. The \prm{entrytype} argument may be a comma"=separated list of values.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsection{Standard Styles}
+\label{use:xbx}
+
+This section provides a short description of all bibliography and citation styles which come with the \biblatex package. Each style is further illustrated in a style example which is linked in the right margin. The local link may not be available if this document does not reside in the expected folder structure. If you want to write your own styles, see \secref{aut}.
+
+\subsubsection{Citation Styles}
+\label{use:xbx:cbx}
+
+The citation styles which come with this package implement several common citation schemes. All standard styles cater for the \bibfield{shorthand} field and support hyperlinks as well as indexing.
+
+\begin{marglist}
+
+\item[numeric]\seestyleexample{30-style-numeric-biber}
+This style implements a numeric citation scheme similar to the standard bibliographic facilities of \latex. It should be employed in conjunction with a numeric bibliography style which prints the corresponding labels in the bibliography. It is intended for in-text citations. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{inline}, \kvopt{labelnumber}{true}. This style also provides an additional preamble option called \opt{subentry} which affects the handling of entry sets. If this option is disabled, citations referring to a member of a set will point to the entire set. If it is enabled, the style supports citations like «[5c]» which point to a subentry in a set (the third one in this example). See the style example for details.
+
+\item[numeric-comp]\seestyleexample{31-style-numeric-comp-biber}
+A compact variant of the \texttt{numeric} style which prints a list of more than two consecutive numbers as a range. This style is similar to the \sty{cite} package and the \opt{sort\&compress} option of the \sty{natbib} package in numerical mode. For example, instead of «[8, 3, 1, 7, 2]» this style would print «[1--3, 7, 8]». It is intended for in-text citations. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{inline}, \kvopt{sortcites}{true}, \kvopt{labelnumber}{true}. It also provides the \opt{subentry} and \opt{subentrycomp} options.
+
+\item[numeric-verb]\seestyleexample{32-style-numeric-verb-biber}
+A verbose variant of the \texttt{numeric} style. The difference affects the handling of a list of citations and is only apparent when multiple entry keys are passed to a single citation command. For example, instead of «[2, 5, 6]» this style would print «[2]; [5]; [6]». It is intended for in-text citations. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{inline}, \kvopt{labelnumber}{true}. It also provides the \opt{subentry} option.
+
+\item[alphabetic]\seestyleexample{40-style-alphabetic-biber}
+This style implements an alphabetic citation scheme similar to the \path{alpha.bst} style of traditional \bibtex. The alphabetic labels resemble a compact author"=year style to some extent, but the way they are employed is similar to a numeric citation scheme. For example, instead of «Jones 1995» this style would use the label «[Jon95]». «Jones and Williams 1986» would be rendered as «[JW86]». This style should be employed in conjunction with an alphabetic bibliography style which prints the corresponding labels in the bibliography. It is intended for in-text citations. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{inline}, \kvopt{labelalpha}{true}. This style also provides an additional preamble option called \opt{subentry} which affects the handling of entry sets. If this option is disabled, citations referring to a member of a set will point to the entire set. If it is enabled, the style supports citations like «[SGW(c)]» which point to a subentry in a set (the third one in this example). See the style example for details.
+
+\item[alphabetic-verb]\seestyleexample{41-style-alphabetic-verb-biber}
+A verbose variant of the \texttt{alphabetic} style. The difference affects the handling of a list of citations and is only apparent when multiple entry keys are passed to a single citation command. For example, instead of «[Doe92; Doe95; Jon98]» this style would print «[Doe92]; [Doe95]; [Jon98]». It is intended for in-text citations. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{inline}, \kvopt{labelalpha}{true}. It also provides the subentry option.
+
+\item[authoryear]\seestyleexample{50-style-authoryear-biber}
+This style implements an author"=year citation scheme. If the bibliography contains two or more works by the same author which were all published in the same year, a letter is appended to the year. For example, this style would print citations such as «Doe 1995a; Doe 1995b; Jones 1998». This style should be employed in conjunction with an author"=year bibliography style which prints the corresponding labels in the bibliography. It is primarily intended for in-text citations, but it could also be used with citations given in footnotes. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{inline}, \kvopt{labeldateparts}{true}, \kvopt{uniquename}{full}, \kvopt{uniquelist}{true}.
+
+\item[authoryear-comp]\seestyleexample{52-style-authoryear-comp-biber}
+A compact variant of the \texttt{authoryear} style which prints the author only once if subsequent references passed to a single citation command share the same author. If they share the same year as well, the year is also printed only once. For example, instead of «Doe 1995b; Doe 1992; Jones 1998; Doe 1995a» this style would print «Doe 1992, 1995a,b; Jones 1998». It is primarily intended for in-text citations, but it could also be used with citations given in footnotes. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{inline}, \kvopt{sortcites}{true}, \kvopt{labeldateparts}{true}, \kvopt{uniquename}{full}, \kvopt{uniquelist}{true}.
+
+\item[authoryear-ibid]\seestyleexample{51-style-authoryear-ibid-biber}
+A variant of the \texttt{authoryear} style which replaces repeated citations by the abbreviation \emph{ibidem} unless the citation is the first one on the current page or double-page spread, or the \emph{ibidem} would be ambiguous in the sense of the package option \kvopt{ibidtracker}{constrict}. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{inline}, \kvopt{labeldateparts}{true}, \kvopt{uniquename}{full}, \kvopt{uniquelist}{true}, \kvopt{ibidtracker}{constrict}, \kvopt{pagetracker}{true}. This style also provides an additional preamble option called \opt{ibidpage}. See the style example for details.
+
+\item[authoryear-icomp]\seestyleexample{53-style-authoryear-icomp-biber}
+A style combining \texttt{authoryear-comp} and \texttt{authoryear-ibid}. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{inline}, \kvopt{labeldateparts}{true}, \kvopt{uniquename}{full}, \kvopt{uniquelist}{true}, \kvopt{ibidtracker}{constrict}, \kvopt{pagetracker}{true}, \kvopt{sortcites}{true}. This style also provides an additional preamble option called \opt{ibidpage}. See the style example for details.
+
+\item[authortitle]\seestyleexample{60-style-authortitle-biber}
+This style implements a simple author"=title citation scheme. It will make use of the \bibfield{shorttitle} field, if available. It is intended for citations given in footnotes. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{footnote}, \kvopt{uniquename}{full}, \kvopt{uniquelist}{true}.
+
+\item[authortitle-comp]\seestyleexample{62-style-authortitle-comp-biber}
+A compact variant of the \texttt{authortitle} style which prints the author only once if subsequent references passed to a single citation command share the same author. For example, instead of «Doe, \emph{First title}; Doe, \emph{Second title}» this style would print «Doe, \emph{First title}, \emph{Second title}». It is intended for citations given in footnotes. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{footnote}, \kvopt{sortcites}{true}, \kvopt{uniquename}{full}, \kvopt{uniquelist}{true}.
+
+\item[authortitle-ibid]\seestyleexample{61-style-authortitle-ibid-biber}
+A variant of the \texttt{authortitle} style which replaces repeated citations by the abbreviation \emph{ibidem} unless the citation is the first one on the current page or double-page spread, or the \emph{ibidem} would be ambiguous in the sense of the package option \kvopt{ibidtracker}{constrict}. It is intended for citations given in footnotes. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{footnote}, \kvopt{uniquename}{full}, \kvopt{uniquelist}{true}, \kvopt{ibidtracker}{constrict}, \kvopt{pagetracker}{true}. This style also provides an additional preamble option called \opt{ibidpage}. See the style example for details.
+
+\item[authortitle-icomp]\seestyleexample{63-style-authortitle-icomp-biber}
+A style combining the features of \texttt{authortitle-comp} and \texttt{authortitle-ibid}. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{footnote}, \kvopt{uniquename}{full}, \kvopt{uniquelist}{true}, \kvopt{ibidtracker}{constrict}, \kvopt{pagetracker}{true}, \kvopt{sortcites}{true}. This style also provides an additional preamble option called \opt{ibidpage}. See the style example for details.
+
+\item[authortitle-terse]\seestyleexample{64-style-authortitle-terse-biber}
+A terse variant of the \texttt{authortitle} style which only prints the title if the bibliography contains more than one work by the respective author\slash editor. This style will make use of the \bibfield{shorttitle} field, if available. It is suitable for in-text citations as well as citations given in footnotes. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{inline}, \kvopt{singletitle}{true}, \kvopt{uniquename}{full}, \kvopt{uniquelist}{true}.
+
+\item[authortitle-tcomp]\seestyleexample{65-style-authortitle-tcomp-biber}
+A style combining the features of \texttt{authortitle-comp} and \texttt{authortitle-terse}. This style will make use of the \bibfield{shorttitle} field, if available. It is suitable for in-text citations as well as citations given in footnotes. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{inline}, \kvopt{sortcites}{true}, \kvopt{singletitle}{true}, \kvopt{uniquename}{full}, \kvopt{uniquelist}{true}.
+
+\item[authortitle-ticomp]\seestyleexample{66-style-authortitle-ticomp-biber}
+A style combining the features of \texttt{authortitle-icomp} and \texttt{authortitle-terse}. In other words: a variant of the \texttt{authortitle-tcomp} style with an \emph{ibidem} feature. This style is suitable for in-text citations as well as citations given in footnotes. It will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{inline}, \kvopt{ibidtracker}{constrict}, \kvopt{pagetracker}{true}, \kvopt{sortcites}{true}, \kvopt{singletitle}{true}, \kvopt{uniquename}{full}, \kvopt{uniquelist}{true}. This style also provides an additional preamble option called \opt{ibidpage}. See the style example for details.
+
+\item[verbose]\seestyleexample{70-style-verbose-biber}
+A verbose citation style which prints a full citation similar to a bibliography entry when an entry is cited for the first time, and a short citation afterwards. If available, the \bibfield{shorttitle} field is used in all short citations. If the \bibfield{shorthand} field is defined, the shorthand is introduced on the first citation and used as the short citation thereafter. This style may be used without a list of references and shorthands since all bibliographic data is provided on the first citation. It is intended for citations given in footnotes. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{footnote}, \kvopt{citetracker}{context}. This style also provides an additional preamble option called \opt{citepages}. See the style example for details.
+
+\item[verbose-ibid]\seestyleexample{71-style-verbose-ibid-biber}
+A variant of the \texttt{verbose} style which replaces repeated citations by the abbreviation \emph{ibidem} unless the citation is the first one on the current page or double-page spread, or the \emph{ibidem} would be ambiguous in the sense of \kvopt{ibidtracker}{strict}. This style is intended for citations given in footnotes. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{footnote}, \kvopt{citetracker}{context}, \kvopt{ibidtracker}{constrict}, \kvopt{pagetracker}{true}. This style also provides additional preamble options called \opt{ibidpage} and \opt{citepages}. See the style example for details.
+
+\item[verbose-note]\seestyleexample{72-style-verbose-note-biber}
+This style is similar to the \texttt{verbose} style in that it prints a full citation similar to a bibliography entry when an entry is cited for the first time, and a short citation afterwards. In contrast to the \texttt{verbose} style, the short citation is a pointer to the footnote with the full citation. If the bibliography contains more than one work by the respective author\slash editor, the pointer also includes the title. If available, the \bibfield{shorttitle} field is used in all short citations. If the \bibfield{shorthand} field is defined, it is handled as with the \texttt{verbose} style. This style may be used without a list of references and shorthands since all bibliographic data is provided on the first citation. It is exclusively intended for citations given in footnotes. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{footnote}, \kvopt{citetracker}{context}, \kvopt{singletitle}{true}. This style also provides additional preamble options called \opt{pageref} and \opt{citepages}. See the style example for details.
+
+\item[verbose-inote]\seestyleexample{73-style-verbose-inote-biber}
+A variant of the \texttt{verbose"=note} style which replaces repeated citations by the abbreviation \emph{ibidem} unless the citation is the first one on the current page or double-page spread, or the \emph{ibidem} would be ambiguous in the sense of \kvopt{ibidtracker}{strict}. This style is exclusively intended for citations given in footnotes. It will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{footnote}, \kvopt{citetracker}{context}, \kvopt{ibidtracker}{constrict}, \kvopt{singletitle}{true}, \kvopt{pagetracker}{true}. This style also provides additional preamble options called \opt{ibidpage}, \opt{pageref}, and \opt{citepages}. See the style example for details.
+
+\item[verbose-trad1]\seestyleexample{74-style-verbose-trad1-biber}
+This style implements a traditional citation scheme. It is similar to the \texttt{verbose} style in that it prints a full citation similar to a bibliography entry when an item is cited for the first time, and a short citation afterwards. Apart from that, it uses the scholarly abbreviations \emph{ibidem}, \emph{idem}, \emph{op.~cit.}, and \emph{loc.~cit.} to replace recurrent authors, titles, and page numbers in repeated citations in a special way. If the \bibfield{shorthand} field is defined, the shorthand is introduced on the first citation and used as the short citation thereafter. This style may be used without a list of references and shorthands since all bibliographic data is provided on the first citation. It is intended for citations given in footnotes. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{footnote}, \kvopt{citetracker}{context}, \kvopt{ibidtracker}{constrict}, \kvopt{idemtracker}{constrict}, \kvopt{opcittracker}{context}, \kvopt{loccittracker}{context}. This style also provides additional preamble options called \opt{ibidpage}, \opt{strict}, and \opt{citepages}. See the style example for details.
+
+\item[verbose-trad2]\seestyleexample{75-style-verbose-trad2-biber}
+Another traditional citation scheme. It is also similar to the \texttt{verbose} style but uses scholarly abbreviations like \emph{ibidem} and \emph{idem} in repeated citations. In contrast to the \texttt{verbose-trad1} style, the logic of the \emph{op.~cit.} abbreviations is different in this style and \emph{loc.~cit.} is not used at all. It is in fact more similar to \texttt{verbose-ibid} and \texttt{verbose-inote} than to \texttt{verbose-trad1}. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{footnote}, \kvopt{citetracker}{context}, \kvopt{ibidtracker}{constrict}, \kvopt{idemtracker}{constrict}. This style also provides additional preamble options called \opt{ibidpage}, \opt{strict}, and \opt{citepages}. See the style example for details.
+
+\item[verbose-trad3]\seestyleexample{76-style-verbose-trad3-biber}
+Yet another traditional citation scheme. It is similar to the \texttt{verbose-trad2} style but uses the scholarly abbreviations \emph{ibidem} and \emph{op.~cit.} in a slightly different way. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{footnote}, \kvopt{citetracker}{context}, \kvopt{ibidtracker}{constrict}, \kvopt{loccittracker}{constrict}. This style also provides additional preamble options called \opt{strict} and \opt{citepages}. See the style example for details.
+
+\item[reading]\seestyleexample{80-style-reading-biber}
+A citation style which goes with the bibliography style by the same name. It simply loads the \texttt{authortitle} style.
+
+\end{marglist}
+
+The following citation styles are special purpose styles. They are not intended for the final version of a document:
+
+\begin{marglist}
+
+\item[draft]\seestyleexample{81-style-draft-biber}
+A draft style which uses the entry keys in citations. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{plain}.
+
+\item[debug]\seestyleexample{82-style-debug-biber}
+This style prints the entry key rather than some kind of label. It is intended for debugging only and will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{autocite}{plain}.
+
+\end{marglist}
+
+\subsubsection{Bibliography Styles}
+\label{use:xbx:bbx}
+
+All bibliography styles which come with this package use the same basic format for the individual bibliography entries. They only differ in the kind of label printed in the bibliography and the overall formatting of the list of references. There is a matching bibliography style for every citation style. Note that some bibliography styles are not mentioned below because they simply load a more generic style. For example, the bibliography style \texttt{authortitle-comp} will load the \texttt{authortitle} style.
+
+\begin{marglist}
+
+\item[numeric]\seestyleexample{30-style-numeric-biber}
+This style prints a numeric label similar to the standard bibliographic facilities of \latex. It is intended for use in conjunction with a numeric citation style. Note that the \bibfield{shorthand} field overrides the default label. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{labelnumber}{true}. This style also provides an additional preamble option called \opt{subentry} which affects the formatting of entry sets. If this option is enabled, all members of a set are marked with a letter which may be used in citations referring to a set member rather than the entire set. See the style example for details.
+
+\item[alphabetic]\seestyleexample{40-style-alphabetic-biber}
+This style prints an alphabetic label similar to the \path{alpha.bst} style of traditional \bibtex. It is intended for use in conjunction with an alphabetic citation style. Note that the \bibfield{shorthand} field overrides the default label. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{labelalpha}{true}, \kvopt{sorting}{anyt}.
+
+\item[authoryear]\seestyleexample{50-style-authoryear-biber}
+This style differs from the other styles in that the publication date is not printed towards the end of the entry but rather after the author\slash editor. It is intended for use in conjunction with an author"=year citation style. Recurring author and editor names are replaced by a dash unless the entry is the first one on the current page or double-page spread. This style provides an additional preamble option called \opt{dashed} which controls this feature. It also provided a preamble option called \opt{mergedate}. See the style example for details. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{labeldateparts}{true}, \kvopt{sorting}{nyt}, \kvopt{pagetracker}{true}, \kvopt{mergedate}{true}.
+
+\item[authortitle]\seestyleexample{60-style-authortitle-biber}
+This style does not print any label at all. It is intended for use in conjunction with an author"=title citation style. Recurring author and editor names are replaced by a dash unless the entry is the first one on the current page or double-page spread. This style also provides an additional preamble option called \opt{dashed} which controls this feature. See the style example for details. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{pagetracker}{true}.
+
+\item[verbose]\seestyleexample{70-style-verbose-biber}
+This style is similar to the \texttt{authortitle} style. It also provides an additional preamble option called \opt{dashed}. See the style example for details. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{pagetracker}{true}.
+
+\item[reading]\seestyleexample{80-style-reading-biber}
+This special bibliography style is designed for personal reading lists, annotated bibliographies, and similar applications. It optionally includes the fields \bibfield{annotation}, \bibfield{abstract}, \bibfield{library}, and \bibfield{file} in the bibliography. If desired, it also adds various kinds of short headers to the bibliography. This style also provides the additional preamble options \opt{entryhead}, \opt{entrykey}, \opt{annotation}, \opt{abstract}, \opt{library}, and \opt{file} which control whether or not the corresponding items are printed in the bibliography. See the style example for details. See also \secref{use:use:prf}. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{loadfiles}{true}, \kvopt{entryhead}{true}, \kvopt{entrykey}{true}, \kvopt{annotation}{true}, \kvopt{abstract}{true}, \kvopt{library}{true}, \kvopt{file}{true}.
+
+\end{marglist}
+
+The following bibliography styles are special purpose styles. They are not intended for the final version of a document:
+
+\begin{marglist}
+
+\item[draft]\seestyleexample{81-style-draft-biber}
+This draft style includes the entry keys in the bibliography. The bibliography will be sorted by entry key. The style will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{sorting}{debug}.
+
+\item[debug]\seestyleexample{82-style-debug-biber}
+This style prints all bibliographic data in tabular format. It is intended for debugging only and will set the following package options at load time: \kvopt{sorting}{debug}.
+
+\end{marglist}
+
+\subsection{Extended Name Format}
+\label{use:enf}
+The parsing rules for \bibtex names are rather archaic and not suited to
+many international name formats. \biber supports an extended name format
+which allows explicit specification of the parts of names. This allows the
+use of custom name parts apart from the four standard \bibtex parts. Extended
+name formats are supported in all name fields and can be used along with
+the usual \bibtex name format. Recognition of extended name format can be
+disabled with the \biber option \opt{--noxname} in case you do not need the
+extended format and the auto-detection causes problems with normal name
+parsing. The separator \verb+=+ which comes between the namepart names and
+values is customisable with the \biber option \opt{--xnamesep}. Here is an
+example:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+AUTHOR = {Hans Harman and Simon de Beumont}
+AUTHOR = {given=Hans, family=Harman and given=Simon, prefix=de, family=Beumont}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+These two name specifications are equivalent but the extended format
+explicitly names the parts. The supported parts are those specified by the
+\biblatex data mode constant \opt{nameparts}, see \secref{aut:bbx:drv}. As
+with traditional \bibtex name parsing, initials are automatically generated
+but it is also possible to specify these explicitly:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+AUTHOR = {given=Jean, prefix=de la, prefix-i=d, family=Rousse}
+AUTHOR = {given={Jean Pierre Simon}, given-i=JPS}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Initials are specified by adding the suffix \verb+-i+ to the namepart name.
+Compound parts may be protected with braces:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+AUTHOR = {given={Jean Pierre}}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+If a namepart contains a comma, the whole namepart should be protected with
+quotes:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+AUTHOR = {"family={Robert and Sons, Inc.}"}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Traditional \bibtex name formats and the extended form may be used together:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+AUTHOR = {Hans Harman and given=Simon, prefix=de, family=Beumont}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Per-namelist and per-name options may be specified in the extended name
+format, see \secref{use:opt:bib:hyb}:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+AUTHOR = {nosortothers=true and Hans Harman and
+ given=Simon, family=Beumont, prefix=de, useprefix=true}
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+\subsection{Related Entries}
+\label{use:rel}
+
+Almost all bibliography styles require authors to specify certain types of relationship between entries such as «Reprint of», «Reprinted in» etc. It is impossible to provide data fields to cover all of these relationships and so \biblatex provides a general mechanism for this using the entry fields \bibfield{related}, \bibfield{relatedtype} and \bibfield{relatedstring}. A related entry does not need to be cited and does not appear in the bibliography itself (unless of course it is also cited itself independently) as a clone is taken of the related entry to be used as a data source. The \bibfield{relatedtype} field should specify a localisation string which will be printed before the information from the related entries is printed, for example «Orig. Pub. as». The \bibfield{relatedstring} field can be used to override the string determined via \bibfield{relatedtype}. Some examples:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at Book{key1,
+ ...
+ related = {key2},
+ relatedtype = {reprintof},
+ ...
+}
+
+ at Book{key2,
+ ...
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Here we specify that entry \texttt{key1} is a reprint of entry \texttt{key2}. In the bibliography driver for \texttt{Book} entries, when \cmd{usebibmacro\{related\}} is called for entry \texttt{key1}:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item If the localisation string «\texttt{reprintof}» is defined, it is printed in the \texttt{relatedstring:reprintof} format. If this formatting directive is undefined, the string is printed in the \texttt{relatedstring:default} format.
+\item If the \texttt{related:reprintof} macro is defined, it is used to format the information contained in entry \texttt{key2}, otherwise the \texttt{related:default} macro is used
+\item If the \texttt{related:reprintof} format is defined, it is used to format both the localisation string and data. If this format is not defined, then the \texttt{related} format is used instead.
+\end{itemize}
+%
+It is also supported to have cascading and/or circular relations:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at Book{key1,
+ ...
+ related = {key2},
+ relatedtype = {reprintof},
+ ...
+}
+
+ at Book{key2,
+ ...
+ related = {key3},
+ relatedtype = {translationof},
+ ...
+}
+
+ at Book{key3,
+ ...
+ related = {key2},
+ relatedtype = {translatedas},
+ ...
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Multiple relations to the same entry are also possible:
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at MVBook{key1,
+ ...
+ related = {key2,key3},
+ relatedtype = {multivolume},
+ ...
+}
+
+ at Book{key2,
+ ...
+}
+
+ at Book{key3,
+ ...
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Note the order of the keys in lists of multiple related entries is important. The data from multiple related entries is printed in the order of the keys listed in this field. See \secref{aut:ctm:rel} for a more details on the mechanisms behind this feature. You can turn this feature off using the package option \opt{related} from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}.
+
+You can use the \bibfield{relatedoptions} to set options on the related entry data clone. This is useful if you need to override the \opt{dataonly} option which is set by default on all related entry clones. For example, if you will expose some of the names in the related clone in your document, you may want to have them disambiguated from names in other entries but normally this won't happen as related clones have the per"=entry \opt{dataonly} option set and this in turn sets \kvopt{uniquename}{false} and \kvopt{uniquelist}{false}. In such a case, you can set \bibfield{relatedoptions} to just \opt{skiplab, skipbib, skipbiblist}.
+
+\subsection{Sorting Options}
+\label{use:srt}
+
+This package supports fully customisable sorting templates for the bibliography. The default global sorting template is selected with the \opt{sorting} package option from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}. Apart from the regular data fields there are also some special fields which may be used to optimize the sorting of the bibliography. \Apxref{apx:srt:a1, apx:srt:a2} give an outline of the default alphabetic sorting templates supported by \biblatex. Chronological sorting templates are listed in \apxref{apx:srt:chr}. A few explanations concerning the default templates are in order.
+
+The first item considered in the sorting process is always the \bibfield{presort} field of the entry. If this field is undefined, \biblatex will use the default value <\texttt{mm}> as a presort string. The next item considered is the \bibfield{sortkey} field. If this field is defined, it serves as the master sort key. Apart from the \bibfield{presort} field, no further data is considered in this case. If the \bibfield{sortkey} field is undefined, sorting continues with the name. The package will try using the \bibfield{sortname}, \bibfield{author}, \bibfield{editor}, and \bibfield{translator} fields, in this order. Which fields are considered also depends on the setting of the \opt{use$<$name$>$} options. If all such options are disabled, the \bibfield{sortname} field is ignored as well. Note that all name fields are responsive to \opt{maxnames} and \opt{minnames}. If no name field is available, either because all of them are undefined or because all \opt{use$<$name$>$} options are disabled, \biblatex will fall back to the \bibfield{sorttitle} and \bibfield{title} fields as a last resort. The remaining items are, in various order: the \bibfield{sortyear} field, if defined, or the first four digits of the \bibfield{year} field otherwise; the \bibfield{sorttitle} field, if defined, or the \bibfield{title} field otherwise; the \bibfield{volume} field. Note that the sorting templates shown in \apxref{apx:srt:a2} include an additional item: \bibfield{labelalpha} is the label used by <alphabetic> bibliography styles. Strictly speaking, the string used for sorting is \bibfield{labelalpha}~+ \bibfield{extraalpha}. The sorting templates in \apxref{apx:srt:a2} are intended to be used in conjunction with alphabetic styles only.
+
+The chronological sorting templates presented in \apxref{apx:srt:chr} also make use of the \bibfield{presort} and \bibfield{sortkey} fields, if defined. The next item considered is the \bibfield{sortyear} or the \bibfield{year} field, depending on availability. The \opt{ynt} template extracts the first four Arabic figures from the field. If both fields are undefined, the string \texttt{9999} is used as a fallback value. This means that all entries without a year will be moved to the end of the list. The \opt{ydnt} template is similar in concept but sorts the year in descending order. As with the \opt{ynt} template, the string \texttt{9999} is used as a fallback value. The remaining items are similar to the alphabetic sorting templates discussed above. Note that the \opt{ydnt} sorting template will only sort the date in descending order. All other items are sorted in ascending order as usual.
+
+Using special fields such as \bibfield{sortkey}, \bibfield{sortname}, or \bibfield{sorttitle} is usually not required. The \biblatex package is quite capable of working out the desired sorting order by using the data found in the regular fields of an entry. You will only need them if you want to manually modify the sorting order of the bibliography or if any data required for sorting is missing. Please refer to the field descriptions in \secref{bib:fld:spc} for details on possible uses of the special fields.
+
+\subsection{Data Annotations}
+\label{use:annote}
+Ideally, there should be no formatting information in a bibliography data file, however, sometimes such questionable practice seems to the only way in which the desired results can be achieved. Data annotations are a way of addressing this by allowing users to attach semantic information (rather than typographical markup) to information in a bibliography data source so that the information can be used at markup time by a style. For example, if you wanted to highlight certain names in a work depending on whether they were a student author (indicated by a superscript asterisk in the references) or a corresponding author (indicated by bold face), then you might be tempted to try:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at MISC{Article1,
+ AUTHOR = {Last1\textsuperscript{*}, First1 and \textbf{Last2}, \textbf{First2} and Last3, First3}
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+There are several problems with this. Firstly, it will break \bibtex's fragile name parsing routines and probably won't compile at all. Secondly, it is not only mixing up data with markup, it does so in a hard-coded way: this data can't easily be shared and used with other styles. While it is possible to achieve this formatting using \biblatex internals in a style or document, this is a complex and unreliable method which many users will not wish to use.
+
+In order to address these issues, \biblatex has a general data annotation facility which allows you to attach any number of a comma"=separated list of annotations to data fields, items within data field lists (like names) and even parts of specific items such as parts of names (given name, family name etc.). There are macros provided to check for annotations which can be used in formatting directives.
+
+There are three «scopes» for data annotations, in order of increasing specificity:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \opt{field}---applied to top-level fields in a data source entry
+\item \opt{item}---applied to items within a list field in a data source entry
+\item \opt{part}---applied to parts within items within a list field in a data source entry
+\end{itemize}
+%
+Data annotations are supported for \bibtex and \biblatexml data sources.
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at MISC{ann1,
+ AUTHOR = {Last1, First1 and Last2, First2 and Last3, First3},
+ AUTHOR+an = {1:family=student;2=corresponding},
+ TITLE = {The Title},
+ TITLE+an:default = {=titleannotation},
+ TITLE+an:cat = {="Provisional"}
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Here the field name suffix \texttt{+an} is a user-definable\footnote{See \biber's \opt{--annotation-marker} option.} suffix which marks a data field as an annotation of the unsuffixed field. Multiple annotations can be provided for the same field since all annotations are named. After the annotation marker is the optional named annotation marker \footnote{See \biber's \opt{--named-annotation-marker} option.} and an optional annotation name. The annotation name is <default> if not specified and so in the above example the following two are equivalent:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+TITLE+an = {=titleannotation},
+TITLE+an:default = {=titleannotation},
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+The format of annotation fields in \bibtex data sources is is as follows:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+<annotationspecs> ::= <annotationspec> [ ";" <annotationspec> ]
+<annotationspec> ::= [ <itemcount> [ ":" <part> ] ] "=" <annotations>
+<annotations> ::= <annotation> [ "," <annotation> ]
+<annotation> ::= ["] (string) ["]
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+That is, one or more specifications separated by semicolons. Each specification is an equals sign followed by a comma"=separated list of annotation keywords or a string enclosed in double-quotes (a <literal> annotation, see below). To annotate a specific item in a list, put the number of the list item before the equals sign (lists start at 1). If you need to annotate a specific part of the list item, give its name after the list item number, preceded by a colon. Name part names are defined in the data model, see \secref{aut:bbx:drv}. Some further examples:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+AUTHOR = {Last1, First1 and Last2, First2 and Last3, First3},
+AUTHOR+an = {3:given=annotation1, annotation2},
+TITLE = {A title},
+TITLE+an = {=a title annotation, another title annotation},
+LANGUAGE = {english and french},
+LANGUAGE+an = {1=annotation3; 2=annotation4}
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Attaching annotations to data is similar in \biblatexml data sources. Using the example above, we would have:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=xml]
+<bltx:entries xmlns:bltx="http://biblatex-biber.sourceforge.net/biblatexml">
+ <bltx:entry id="test" entrytype="misc">
+ <bltx:names type="author">
+ <bltx:name>
+ <bltx:namepart type="given" initial="F">First1</bltx:namepart>
+ <bltx:namepart type="family" initial="L">Last1</bltx:namepart>
+ </bltx:name>
+ <bltx:name>
+ <bltx:namepart type="given" initial="F">First2</bltx:namepart>
+ <bltx:namepart type="family" initial="L">Last2</bltx:namepart>
+ </bltx:name>
+ <bltx:name>
+ <bltx:namepart type="given" initial="F">First3</bltx:namepart>
+ <bltx:namepart type="family" initial="L">Last3</bltx:namepart>
+ </bltx:name>
+ </bltx:names>
+ </bltx:annotation field="author" item="1" part="family">student</bltx:annotation>
+ </bltx:annotation field="author" item="2">corresponding</bltx:annotation>
+ </bltx:entry>
+</bltx:entries>
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+To access the annotation information when formatting bibliography data, macros are provided, corresponding to the three annotation scopes:
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{iffieldannotation}[msform][mslang][entryfield][annotationname]{annotation}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the data field \prm{entryfield} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) has an annotation \prm{annotation} for the annotation called \prm{annotationname} and false otherwise. If \prm{annotationname} is not given, then the annotation named <default> is assumed (this is the name given to annotations defined without an explicit name). If \prm{entryfield} is not given, the current data field as indicated by \cmd{currentfield}, \cmd{currentlist} or \cmd{currentname} (see \secref{aut:bib:fmt}) is assumed. Of course, this is only possible if these commands are defined, that is, inside formatting directives.
+
+\cmditem{ifitemannotation}[msform][mslang][entryfield][annotationname][item]{annotation}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the item \prm{item} in the data field \prm{entryfield} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) has an annotation \prm{annotation} and false otherwise. If \prm{annotationname} is not given, then the annotation named <default> is assumed (this is the name given to annotations defined without an explicit name). The optional argument \prm{entryfield} can be inferred if not provided as with \cmd{iffieldannotation}. If \prm{item} is not given, the number of the item currently being processed as given by \cnt{listcount} is used.
+
+\cmditem{ifpartannotation}[msform][mslang][entryfield][annotationname][item]{part}{annotation}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the part named \prm{part} in item \prm{item} in the data field \prm{entryfield} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) has an annotation \prm{annotation} and false otherwise. If \prm{annotationname} is not given, then the annotation named <default> is assumed (this is the name given to annotations defined without an explicit name). The two optional arguments \prm{entryfield} and \prm{item} can be inferred as in \cmd{ifitemannotation}. The parameter \prm{part} can never be inferred and is therefore a mandatory argument.
+
+Date fields are special and handled in a context where \cmd{currentfield} is not accessible. Thus there is a fourth command to test annotations for dates.
+
+\cmditem{ifdateannotation}[annotationname]{datetype}{annotation}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the date field \prm{datetype} has an annotation \prm{annotation} and false otherwise. If \prm{annotationname} is not given, then the annotation named <default> is assumed (this is the name given to annotations defined without an explicit name). The \prm{datetype} argument is mandatory, because it cannot be inferred in most contexts where \cmd{ifdateannotation} will be used.
+
+\cmditem{hasfieldannotation}[msform][mslang][entryfield][annotationname]{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the data field \prm{entryfield} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) has a literal annotation \prm{annotationname} defined and false otherwise. If \prm{annotationname} is not given, then the annotation named <default> is assumed (this is the name given to annotations defined without an explicit name). If \prm{entryfield} is not given, the current data field as indicated by \cmd{currentfield}, \cmd{currentlist} or \cmd{currentname} (see \secref{aut:bib:fmt}) is assumed. Of course, this is only possible if these commands are defined, that is, inside formatting directives.
+
+\cmditem{hasitemannotation}[msform][mslang][entryfield][annotationname][item]{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the item \prm{item} in the data field \prm{entryfield} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) has a literal annotation \prm{annotationname} defined and false otherwise. If \prm{annotationname} is not given, then the annotation named <default> is assumed (this is the name given to annotations defined without an explicit name). The optional argument \prm{entryfield} can be inferred if not provided as with \cmd{iffieldannotation}. If \prm{item} is not given, the number of the item currently being processed as given by \cnt{listcount} is used.
+
+\cmditem{haspartannotation}[msform][mslang][entryfield][annotationname][item]{part}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the part named \prm{part} in the item \prm{item} in the data field \prm{entryfield} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) has a literal annotation \prm{annotationname} defined and false otherwise. If \prm{annotationname} is not given, then the annotation named <default> is assumed (this is the name given to annotations defined without an explicit name). The two optional arguments \prm{entryfield} and \prm{item} can be inferred as in \cmd{ifitemannotation}. The parameter \prm{part} can never be inferred and is therefore a mandatory argument.
+
+Date fields are special and handled in a context where \cmd{currentfield} is not accessible. Thus there is a fourth command to test the existence of annotations for dates.
+
+\cmditem{hasdateannotation}[annotationname]{datetype}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the date field \prm{datetype} has any annotation \prm{annotationname} defined and false otherwise. If \prm{annotationname} is not given, then the annotation named <default> is assumed (this is the name given to annotations defined without an explicit name). The \prm{datetype} argument is mandatory, because it cannot be inferred in most contexts where \cmd{ifdateannotation} will be used.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+%
+As an example of how to use the annotation information to solve the problem originally presented in this section, this could be used in the name formatting directives to put an asterisk after all family names annotated as «student»:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=latex]{}
+ \ifpartannotation{family}{student}
+ {\textsuperscript{*}}
+ {}%
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+To put the given and family names of name list items annotated as «corresponding» in boldface:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=latex]{}
+\renewcommand*{\mkbibnamegiven}[1]{%
+ \ifitemannotation{corresponding}
+ {\textbf{#1}}
+ {#1}}
+
+\renewcommand*{\mkbibnamefamily}[1]{%
+ \ifitemannotation{corresponding}
+ {\textbf{#1}}
+ {#1}}
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+\subsubsection{Literal Annotations}
+
+If the annotation is a string enclosed in double-quotes, the annotation is a <literal> annotation. In this case the annotation can be retrieved and used as a string rather than as meta-information used to determine formatting. This is useful in order to be able to attached specific annotations to data which are to be printed as-is. For example:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+AUTHOR = {{American Educational Research Association} and {American Psychological Association}
+ and {National Council on Measurement in Education}},
+AUTHOR+an = {1:family="AERA"; 2:family="APA"; 3:family="NCME"}
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Such annotations are not keys whose presence can be tested for but are rather literal information attached to the data. The values are retrieved by the following macros
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{getfieldannotation}[msform][mslang][entryfield][annotationname]
+
+Retrieves any literal annotation for the field \prm{entryfield} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}). If \prm{annotationname} is not given, then the annotation named <default> is assumed (this is the name given to annotations defined without an explicit name). If \prm{entryfield} is not given, the current data field as indicated by \cmd{currentfield}, \cmd{currentlist} or \cmd{currentname} (see \secref{aut:bib:fmt}) is assumed. Of course, this is only possible if these commands are defined, that is, inside formatting directives.
+
+\cmditem{getitemannotation}[entryfield][annotationname][item]
+
+Retrieves any literal annotation for the item \prm{item} in the field \prm{entryfield} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}). If \prm{annotationname} is not given, then the annotation named <default> is assumed (this is the name given to annotations defined without an explicit name). The optional argument \prm{entryfield} can be inferred if not provided as with \cmd{getfieldannotation}. If \prm{item} is not given, the number of the item currently being processed as given by \cnt{listcount} is used.
+
+\cmditem{getpartannotation}[msform][mslang][entryfield][annotationname][item]{part}
+
+Retrieves any literal annotation for the part \prm{part} of the item number \prm{item} in the field \prm{entryfield} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}). If \prm{annotationname} is not given, then the annotation named <default> is assumed (this is the name given to annotations defined without an explicit name). The two optional arguments \prm{entryfield} and \prm{item} can be inferred as in \cmd{getitemannotation}. The parameter \prm{part} can never be inferred and is therefore a mandatory argument.
+
+Date fields are special and handled in a context where \cmd{currentfield} is not accessible. Thus there is a fourth command to access literal annotations for dates.
+
+\cmditem{getdateannotation}[annotationname]{datetype}
+
+Retrieve a literal annotation for the datefield \prm{datetype}. If \prm{annotationname} is not given, then the annotation named <default> is assumed (this is the name given to annotations defined without an explicit name). The \prm{datetype} argument is mandatory, because it cannot be inferred in most contexts where \cmd{getdateannotation} will be used.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+%
+So, for example, given the bibliography entry above, we could put the following in the preamble:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}[style=latex]
+\renewcommand*{\mkbibnamefamily}[1]{%
+ #1\space\mkbibparens{\getpartannotation{family}}}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+In order to get something like this in the bibliography when formatting names:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ American Educational Research Association (AERA) and
+ American Psychological Association (APA), and
+ National Council on Measurement in Education (NCME)
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Naturally there are semantically more elegant ways of dealing with corporate authors without using the <family> namepart (see \secref{aut:bbx:drv}) but this example demonstrates clearly a use for literal annotations.
+
+\subsection{Bibliography Commands}
+\label{use:bib}
+
+\subsubsection{Resources}
+\label{use:bib:res}
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{addbibresource}[options]{resource}
+
+Adds a \prm{resource}, such as a \file{.bib} file, to the default resource list. This command is only available in the preamble. It replaces the \cmd{bibliography} legacy command. Note that files must be specified with their full name, including the extension. With \biber, the resource name can be a BSD-style glob pattern. This only makes sense when resources refer to files with an absolute or relative path and does not work when looking for data resources in \biber s input/output directories or with resources located by \prm{kpsewhich} etc. When running on Windows, \biber will switch to a Windows compatible globbing mode where backslashes are also useable as path separators and case does not matter. If the resources contain duplicate entries (that is, duplicate \bibfield{entrykey}s), it is backend dependent what then happens. For example, by default \biber will ignore further occurrence of \bibfield{entrykey}s unless its \opt{--noskipduplicates} options is used. Invoke \cmd{addbibresource} multiple times to add more resources, for example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\addbibresource{bibfile1.bib}
+\addbibresource{bibfile2.bib}
+\addbibresource[glob]{bibfiles/bibfile*.bib}
+\addbibresource[glob]{bibfile-num?.bib}
+\addbibresource[glob]{bibfile{1,2,3}.bib}
+\addbibresource[location=remote]{https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plk/biblatex/master/bibtex/bib/biblatex/biblatex-examples.bib}
+\addbibresource[location=remote,label=lan]{ftp://192.168.1.57/~user/file.bib}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Since the \prm{resource} string is read in a verbatim-like mode, it may contain arbitrary characters. The only restriction is that any curly braces must be balanced. The following \prm{options} are available:
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\valitem{bibencoding}{bibencoding}
+
+This option can be used to override the global \opt{bibencoding} option for a particular \prm{resource}.
+
+\valitem{label}{identifier}
+
+Assigns a label to a resource. The \prm{identifier} may be used in place of the full resource name in the optional argument of \env{refsection} (see \secref{use:bib:sec}). The label is a \emph{unique} identifier for the \prm{resource}, so each label should only be used once.
+
+\valitem[local]{location}{location}
+
+The location of the resource. The \prm{location} may be either \texttt{local} for local resources or \texttt{remote} for \acr{URL}s. Remote resources require \biber. The protocols \acr{HTTP/HTTPS} and \acr{FTP} are supported. The remote \acr{URL} must be a fully qualified path to a \file{bib} file or a \acr{URL} which returns a \file{bib} file.
+
+\valitem[file]{type}{type}
+
+The type of resource. Currently, the only supported type is \texttt{file}.
+
+\valitem[bibtex]{datatype}{datatype}
+
+The data type (format) of the resource. The following formats are currently supported:
+
+\begin{valuelist}
+
+\item[bibtex] \bibtex format.
+
+\item[biblatexml] Experimental XML format for \biblatex. See \secref{apx:biblatexml}.
+
+\end{valuelist}
+
+\boolitem{glob}
+
+Whether \biber should glob (expand according to pattern) the datasource name. There is
+a global setting for this in \biber (false by default and settable to true
+using the \opt{--glob-datasources} option). This option allows overriding
+the \biber default on a per-resource basis.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\cmditem{addglobalbib}[options]{resource}
+
+This command differs from \cmd{addbibresource} in that the \prm{resource} is added to the global resource list. The difference between default resources and global resources is only relevant if there are reference sections in the document and the optional argument of \env{refsection} (\secref{use:bib:sec}) is used to specify alternative resources which replace the default resource list. Any global resources are added to all reference sections.
+
+\cmditem{addsectionbib}[options]{resource}
+
+This command differs from \cmd{addbibresource} in that the resource \prm{options} are registered but the \prm{resource} not added to any resource list. This is only required for resources which 1) are given exclusively in the optional argument of \env{refsection} (\secref{use:bib:sec}) and 2) require options different from the default settings. In this case, \cmd{addsectionbib} is employed to qualify the \prm{resource} prior to using it by setting the appropriate \prm{options} in the preamble. The \opt{label} option may be useful to assign a short name to the resource.
+
+\cmditem{bibliography}{bibfile, \dots}\DeprecatedMark
+
+The legacy command for adding bibliographic resources, supported for backwards compatibility. Like \cmd{addbibresource}, this command is only available in the preamble and adds resources to the default resource list. Its argument is a comma"=separated list of \file{bib} files. The \file{.bib} extension may be omitted from the filename. Invoking this command multiple times to add more files is permissible. This command is deprecated. Please consider using \cmd{addbibresource} instead.
+
+\subsubsection{The Bibliography}
+\label{use:bib:bib}
+
+\cmditem{printbibliography}[key=value, \dots]
+
+This command prints the bibliography. It takes one optional argument, which is a list of options given in \keyval notation. The following options are available:
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\valitem[bibliography/shorthands]{env}{name}
+
+The <high-level> layout of the bibliography and the list of shorthands is controlled by environments defined with \cmd{defbibenvironment}. This option selects an environment. The \prm{name} corresponds to the identifier used when defining the environment with \cmd{defbibenvironment}. By default, the \cmd{printbibliography} command uses the identifier \texttt{bibliography}; \cmd{printbiblist} uses \texttt{shorthands}. See also \secref{use:bib:biblist,use:bib:hdg}.
+
+\valitem[bibliography/shorthands]{heading}{name}
+
+The bibliography and the list of shorthands typically have a chapter or section heading. This option selects the heading \prm{name}, as defined with \cmd{defbibheading}. By default, the \cmd{printbibliography} command uses the heading \texttt{bibliography}; \cmd{printbiblist} uses \texttt{shorthands}. See also \secref{use:bib:biblist,use:bib:hdg}.
+
+\valitem{title}{text}
+
+This option overrides the default title provided by the heading selected with the \opt{heading} option, if supported by the heading definition. See \secref{use:bib:hdg} for details.
+
+\valitem{label}{label}
+
+If \prm{label} is nonempty, issue \texttt{\textbackslash label\{\prm{label}\}} after typesetting the heading. No sanity checking is done whether or not it is useful to set a label after the heading (\eg if the heading is not numbered a \texttt{\textbackslash ref} to the label might not result in useful output).
+
+\optitem[\normalfont\emph{global setting} (\opt{none})]{block}{\opt{none}, \opt{space}, \opt{par}, \opt{nbpar}, \opt{ragged}}
+
+This option overrides the global \opt{block} option (see \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}, the meaning of the settings is explained there as well).
+
+\valitem{prenote}{name}
+
+The prenote is an arbitrary piece of text to be printed after the heading but before the list of references. This option selects the prenote \prm{name}, as defined with \cmd{defbibnote}. By default, no prenote is printed. The note is printed in the standard text font. It is not affected by \cmd{bibsetup} and \cmd{bibfont} but it may contain its own font declarations. See \secref{use:bib:nts} for details.
+
+\valitem{postnote}{name}
+
+The postnote is an arbitrary piece of text to be printed after the list of references. This option selects the postnote \prm{name}, as defined with \cmd{defbibnote}. By default, no postnote is printed. The note is printed in the standard text font. It is not affected by \cmd{bibsetup} and \cmd{bibfont} but it may contain its own font declarations. See \secref{use:bib:nts} for details.
+
+\intitem[\normalfont\em current section]{section}
+
+Print only entries cited in reference section \prm{integer}. The reference sections are numbered starting at~1. All citations given outside a \env{refsection} environment are assigned to section~0. See \secref{use:bib:sec} for details and \secref{use:use:mlt} for usage examples.
+
+\intitem{segment}
+
+Print only entries cited in reference segment \prm{integer}. The reference segments are numbered starting at~1. All citations given outside a \env{refsegment} environment are assigned to segment~0. See \secref{use:bib:seg} for details and \secref{use:use:mlt} for usage examples. Remember that segments within a section are numbered local to the section so the segment you request will be the nth segment in the requested (or currently active enclosing) section.
+
+\valitem{type}{entrytype}
+
+Print only entries whose entry type is \prm{entrytype}.
+
+\valitem{nottype}{entrytype}
+
+Print only entries whose entry type is not \prm{entrytype}. This option may be used multiple times.
+
+\valitem{subtype}{subtype}
+
+Print only entries whose \bibfield{entrysubtype} is defined and \prm{subtype}.
+
+\valitem{notsubtype}{subtype}
+
+Print only entries whose \bibfield{entrysubtype} is undefined or not \prm{subtype}. This option may be used multiple times.
+
+\valitem{keyword}{keyword}
+
+Print only entries whose \bibfield{keywords} field includes \prm{keyword}. This option may be used multiple times.
+
+\valitem{notkeyword}{keyword}
+
+Print only entries whose \bibfield{keywords} field does not include \prm{keyword}. This option may be used multiple times.
+
+\valitem{category}{category}
+
+Print only entries assigned to category \prm{category}. This option may be used multiple times.
+
+\valitem{notcategory}{category}
+
+Print only entries not assigned to category \prm{category}. This option may be used multiple times.
+
+\valitem{filter}{name}
+
+Filter the entries with filter \prm{name}, as defined with \cmd{defbibfilter}. See \secref{use:bib:flt} for details.
+
+\valitem{check}{name}
+
+Filter the entries with check \prm{name}, as defined with \cmd{defbibcheck}. See \secref{use:bib:flt} for details.
+
+\valitem{resetnumbers}{true,false,number}
+
+This option applies to numerical citation\slash bibliography styles only and requires that the \opt{defernumbers} option from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen} be enabled globally. If enabled, it will reset the numerical labels assigned to the entries in the respective bibliography, \ie the numbering will restart at~1. You can also pass a number to this option, for example: \texttt{resetnumbers=10} to reset numbering to the specified number to aid numbering continuity across documents. Use this option with care as \biblatex can not guarantee unique labels globally if they are reset manually.
+
+\boolitem{omitnumbers}
+
+This option applies to numerical citation\slash bibliography styles only and requires that the \opt{defernumbers} option from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen} be enabled globally. If enabled, \biblatex will not assign a numerical label to the entries in the respective bibliography. This is useful when mixing a numerical subbibliography with one or more subbibliographies using a different scheme (\eg author-title or author-year).
+
+\boolitem[false]{locallabelwidth}
+
+Calculate \cmd{labelnumberwidth}, \cmd{labelalphawidth} and similar lengths locally for the present bibliography and not globally for all entries. See also \opt{labelnumberwidth} in \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{bibbysection}[key=value, \dots]
+
+This command automatically loops over all reference sections. This is equivalent to giving one \cmd{printbibliography} command for every section but has the additional benefit of automatically skipping sections without references. Note that \cmd{bibbysection} starts looking for references in section \texttt{1}. It will ignore references given outside of \env{refsection} environments since they are assigned to section~0. See \secref{use:use:mlt} for usage examples. The options are a subset of those supported by \cmd{printbibliography}. Valid options are \opt{env}, \opt{heading}, \opt{prenote}, \opt{postnote}. The current bibliography context sorting template is used for all sections (see \secref{use:bib:context}).
+
+\cmditem{bibbysegment}[key=value, \dots]
+
+This command automatically loops over all reference segments. This is equivalent to giving one \cmd{printbibliography} command for every segment in the current \env{refsection} but has the additional benefit of automatically skipping segments without references. Note that \cmd{bibbysegment} starts looking for references in segment \texttt{1}. It will ignore references given outside of \env{refsegment} environments since they are assigned to segment~0. See \secref{use:use:mlt} for usage examples. The options are a subset of those supported by \cmd{printbibliography}. Valid options are \opt{env}, \opt{heading}, \opt{prenote}, \opt{postnote}. The current bibliography context sorting template is used for all segments (see \secref{use:bib:context}).
+
+\cmditem{bibbycategory}[key=value, \dots]
+
+This command loops over all bibliography categories. This is equivalent to giving one \cmd{printbibliography} command for every category but has the additional benefit of automatically skipping empty categories. The categories are processed in the order in which they were declared. See \secref{use:use:mlt} for usage examples. The options are a subset of those supported by \cmd{printbibliography}. Valid options are \opt{env}, \opt{prenote}, \opt{postnote}, \opt{section}. Note that \opt{heading} is not available with this command. The name of the current category is automatically used as the heading name. This is equivalent to passing \texttt{heading=\prm{category}} to \cmd{printbibliography} and implies that there must be a matching heading definition for every category. The current bibliography context sorting template is used for all categories (see \secref{use:bib:context}).
+
+\cmditem{printbibheading}[key=value, \dots]
+
+This command prints a bibliography heading defined with \cmd{defbibheading}. It takes one optional argument, which is a list of options given in \keyval notation. The options are a small subset of those supported by \cmd{printbibliography}. Valid options are \opt{heading}, \opt{title} and \opt{label}. By default, this command uses the heading \texttt{bibliography}. See \secref{use:bib:hdg} for details. Also see \secref{use:use:mlt,use:use:div} for usage examples.
+
+\cmditem{DeclarePrintbibliographyDefaults}{key=value, \dots}
+
+This command can be used to globally set defaults for some options to \cmd{printbibliography}, the \cmd{bibby...} bibliography commands and \cmd{printbibheading}.
+The supported keys are
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item \opt{env}
+ \item \opt{heading}
+ \item \opt{title}
+ \item \opt{prenote}
+ \item \opt{postnote}
+ \item \opt{filter}
+\end{itemize}
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+%
+To print a bibliography with a different sorting template than the global sorting template, use the bibliography context switching commands from \secref{use:bib:context}.
+
+\subsubsection{Bibliography Lists}
+\label{use:bib:biblist}
+
+\biblatex can, in addition to printing normal bibliographies, also print arbitrary lists of information derived from the bibliography data such as a list of shorthand abbreviations for particular entries or a list of abbreviations of journal titles.
+
+A bibliography list differs from a normal bibliography in that the same bibliography driver is used to print all entries rather than a specific driver being used for each entry depending on the entry type.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{printbiblist}[key=value, \dots]{biblistname}
+
+This command prints a bibliography list. It takes an optional argument, which is a list of options given in \keyval notation. Valid options are all options supported by \cmd{printbibliography} (\secref{use:bib:bib}) except \opt{resetnumbers} and \opt{omitnumbers}. Additionaly, the two options \opt{driver} and \opt{biblistfilter} are available. If there are any \env{refsection} environments in the document, the bibliography list will be local to these environments; see \secref{use:bib:sec} for details. By default, this command uses the heading \texttt{biblist}. See \secref{use:bib:hdg} for details.
+
+
+The \prm{biblistname} is a mandatory argument which names the bibliography list. This name is used to identify:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item The default bibliography driver used to print the list entries
+\item A default bibliography list filter declared with \cmd{DeclareBiblistFilter} (see \secref{aut:ctm:bibfilt}) used to filter the entries returned from \biber
+\item A default check declared with \cmd{defbibcheck} (see \secref{use:bib:flt}) used to post-process the list entries
+\item The default bib environment to use
+\item The default sorting template to use
+\end{itemize}
+
+The two additional options can be used to change some of the defaults set by the mandatory argument.
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+\valitem[\prm{biblistname}]{driver}{driver}
+
+Change the bibliography driver used to print the list entries.
+% \prm{driver} must be a valid driver declared with \cmd{DeclareBibliographyDriver} (see \secref{aut:bbx:bbx}).
+
+\valitem[\prm{biblistname}]{biblistfilter}{biblistfilter}
+
+Change the bibliography list filter used to filter the entries. \prm{biblistfilter} must be a valid bibliography list filter defined with \cmd{DeclareBiblistFilter} (see \secref{aut:ctm:bibfilt}).
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+In terms of sorting the list, the default is to sort using the sorting template named after the bibliography list (if it exists) and only then to fall back to the current context sorting template if this is not defined (see \secref{use:bib:context}).
+
+The most common bibliography list is a list of shorthand abbreviations for certain entries and so this has a convenience alias \cmd{printshorthands[\dots]} for backwards compatibility which is defined as:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\printbiblist[...]{shorthand}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\biblatex provides automatic support for data source fields in the default data model marked as <Label fields> (See \secref{bib:fld:dat}). Such fields automatically have defined for them:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item A default bib environment (See \secref{use:bib:hdg})
+\item A bibliography list filter (See \secref{aut:ctm:bibfilt})
+\item Some supporting formats and lengths (See \secref{aut:fmt:ilc} and \secref{aut:fmt:ich})
+\end{itemize}
+%
+Therefore only a minimal setup is required to print bibliography lists with such fields. For example, to print a list of journal title abbreviations, you can minimally put this in your preamble:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareBibliographyDriver{shortjournal}{%
+ \printfield{journaltitle}}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Then you can put this in your document where you want to print the list:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\printbiblist[title={Journal Shorthands}]{shortjournal}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Since \bibfield{shortjournal} is defined in the default data model as a <Label field>, this example:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Uses the automatically created <shortjournal> bib environment
+\item Uses the automatically created <shortjournal> bibliography list filter to return only entries with a \bibfield{shortjournal} field in the \file{.bbl}
+\item Uses the defined <shortjournal> bibliography driver to print the entries
+\item Uses the default <biblist> heading but overrides the title with <Journal Shorthands>
+\item Uses the current bibliography context sorting template if no template exists with the name \bibfield{shortjournal}
+\end{itemize}
+%
+Often, you will want to sort on the label field of the list and since a sorting template is automatically picked up if it is named after the list, in this case you could simply do:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSortingTemplate{shortjournal}{
+ \sort{
+ \field{shortjournal}
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+Naturally all defaults can be overridden by options to \cmd{printbiblist} and definitions of the environments, filters etc. and in this way arbitrary types of bibliography lists can be printed containing a variety of information from the bibliography data.
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+Bibliography lists are often used to print lists of various kinds of shorthands and this can result in duplicate entries if more than one bibliography entry has the same shorthand. For example, several journal articles in the same journal would result in duplicate entries in a list of journal shorthands. You can use the fact that such lists automatically pick up a \cmd{bibcheck} with the same name as the list to define a check to remove duplicates. If you are defining a list to print all of the journal shorthands using the \bibfield{shortjournal} field, you could define a \cmd{bibcheck} like this:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}[basicstyle=\displayverbfont\footnotesize]
+\defbibcheck{shortjournal}{%
+ \iffieldundef{shortjournal}
+ {\skipentry}
+ {\iffieldundef{journaltitle}
+ {\skipentry}
+ {\ifcsdef{sjcheck@\therefsection
+ -\strfield{shortjournal}=\strfield{journaltitle}}
+ {\skipentry}
+ {\savefieldcs{journaltitle}{sjcheck@\therefsection
+ -\strfield{shortjournal}=\strfield{journaltitle}}}}}}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\subsubsection{Bibliography Sections}
+\label{use:bib:sec}
+
+The \env{refsection} environment is used in the document body to mark a reference section. This environment is useful if you want separate, independent bibliographies and bibliography lists in each chapter, section, or any other part of a document. Within a reference section, all cited works are assigned labels which are local to the environment. Technically, reference sections are completely independent from document divisions such as \cmd{chapter} and \cmd{section} even though they will most likely be used per chapter or section. See the \opt{refsection} package option in \secref{use:opt:pre:gen} for a way to automate this. Also see \secref{use:use:mlt} for usage examples.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\envitem{refsection}[resource, \dots]
+
+The optional argument is a comma"=separated list of resources specific to the reference section. If the argument is omitted, the reference section will use the default resource list, as specified with \cmd{addbibresource} in the preamble. If the argument is provided, it replaces the default resource list. Global resources specified with \cmd{addglobalbib} are always considered. \env{refsection} environments may not be nested, but you may use \env{refsegment} environments within a \env{refsection} to subdivide it into segments. Use the \opt{section} option of \cmd{printbibliography} to select a section when printing the bibliography, and the corresponding option of \cmd{printbiblist} when printing bibliography lists. Bibliography sections are numbered starting at~\texttt{1}. The number of the current section is also written to the transcript file. All citations given outside a \env{refsection} environment are assigned to section~0. If \cmd{printbibliography} is used within a \env{refsection}, it will automatically select the current section. The \opt{section} option is not required in this case. This also applies to \cmd{printbiblist}. Beginning a new reference section automatically ends the active reference context (see \secref{use:bib:context}).
+
+\cmditem{newrefsection}[resource, \dots]
+
+This command is similar to the \env{refsection} environment except that it is a stand"=alone command rather than an environment. It automatically ends the previous reference section (if any) and immediately starts a new one. Note that the reference section started by the last \cmd{newrefsection} command in the document will extend to the very end of the document. Use \cmd{endrefsection} if you want to terminate it earlier.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Bibliography Segments}
+\label{use:bib:seg}
+
+The \env{refsegment} environment is used in the document body to mark a reference segment. This environment is useful if you want one global bibliography which is subdivided by chapter, section, or any other part of the document. Technically, reference segments are completely independent from document divisions such as \cmd{chapter} and \cmd{section} even though they will typically be used per chapter or section. See the \opt{refsegment} package option in \secref{use:opt:pre:gen} for a way to automate this. Also see \secref{use:use:mlt} for usage examples.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\envitem{refsegment}
+
+The difference between a \env{refsection} and a \env{refsegment} environment is that the former creates labels which are local to the environment whereas the latter provides a target for the \opt{segment} filter of \cmd{printbibliography} without affecting the labels. They will be unique across the entire document. \env{refsegment} environments may not be nested, but you may use them in conjunction with \env{refsection} to subdivide a reference section into segments. In this case, the segments are local to the enclosing \env{refsection} environment. Use the \env{segment} option of \cmd{printbibliography} to select a segment when printing the bibliography. Within a section, the reference segments are numbered starting at~\texttt{1} and the number of the current segment will be written to the transcript file. All citations given outside a \env{refsegment} environment are assigned to segment~0. In contrast to the \env{refsection} environment, the current segment is not selected automatically if \cmd{printbibliography} is used within a \env{refsegment} environment.
+
+\csitem{newrefsegment}
+
+This command is similar to the \env{refsegment} environment except that it is a stand"=alone command rather than an environment. It automatically ends the previous reference segment (if any) and immediately starts a new one. Note that the reference segment started by the last \cmd{newrefsegment} command will extend to the end of the document. Use \cmd{endrefsegment} if you want to terminate it earlier.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Bibliography Categories}
+\label{use:bib:cat}
+
+Bibliography categories allow you to split the bibliography into multiple parts dedicated to different topics or different types of references, for example primary and secondary sources. See \secref{use:use:div} for usage examples.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareBibliographyCategory}{category}
+
+Declares a new \prm{category}, to be used in conjunction with \cmd{addtocategory} and the
+\opt{category} and \opt{notcategory} filters of \cmd{printbibliography}. This command is used in the document preamble.
+
+\cmditem{addtocategory}{category}{key}
+
+Assigns a \prm{key} to a \prm{category}, to be used in conjunction with the \opt{category} and \opt{notcategory} filters of \cmd{printbibliography}. This command may be used in the preamble and in the document body. The \prm{key} may be a single entry key or a comma"=separated list of keys. The assignment is global.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Bibliography Headings and Environments}
+\label{use:bib:hdg}
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{defbibenvironment}{name}{begin code}{end code}{item code}
+
+This command defines bibliography environments. The \prm{name} is an identifier passed to the \opt{env} option of \cmd{printbibliography} and \cmd{printbiblist} when selecting the environment. The \prm{begin code} is \latex code to be executed at the beginning of the environment; the \prm{end code} is executed at the end of the environment; the \prm{item code} is code to be executed at the beginning of each entry in the bibliography or a bibliography list. Here is an example of a definition based on the standard \latex \env{list} environment:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\defbibenvironment{bibliography}
+ {\list{}
+ {\setlength{\leftmargin}{\bibhang}%
+ \setlength{\itemindent}{-\leftmargin}%
+ \setlength{\itemsep}{\bibitemsep}%
+ \setlength{\parsep}{\bibparsep}}}
+ {\endlist}
+ {\item}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+As seen in the above example, usage of \cmd{defbibenvironment} is roughly similar to \cmd{newenvironment} except that there is an additional mandatory argument for the \prm{item code}.
+
+\cmditem{defbibheading}{name}[title]{code}
+
+This command defines bibliography headings. The \prm{name} is an identifier to be passed to the \opt{heading} option of \cmd{printbibliography} or \cmd{printbibheading} and \cmd{printbiblist} when selecting the heading. The \prm{code} should be \latex code generating a fully"=fledged heading, including page headers and an entry in the table of contents, if desired. If \cmd{printbibliography} or \cmd{printbiblist} are invoked with a \opt{title} option, the title will be passed to the heading definition as |#1|. If not, the default title specified by the optional \prm{title} argument is passed as |#1| instead. The \prm{title} argument will typically be \cmd{bibname}, \cmd{refname}, or \cmd{biblistname} (see \secref{aut:lng:key:bhd}). This command is often needed after changes to document headers in the preamble. Here is an example of a simple heading definition:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\defbibheading{bibliography}[\bibname]{%
+ \chapter*{#1}%
+ \markboth{#1}{#1}}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+The following headings, which are intended for use with \cmd{printbibliography} and \cmd{printbibheading}, are predefined:
+
+\begin{valuelist*}
+
+\item[bibliography]
+This is the default heading used by \cmd{printbibliography} if the \opt{heading} option is not given. Its default definition depends on the document class. If the class provides a \cmd{chapter} command, the heading is similar to the bibliography heading of the standard \latex \texttt{book} class, \ie it uses \cmd{chapter*} to create an unnumbered chapter heading which is not included in the table of contents. If there is no \cmd{chapter} command, it is similar to the bibliography heading of the standard \latex \texttt{article} class, \ie it uses \cmd{section*} to create an unnumbered section heading which is not included in the table of contents. The string used in the heading also depends on the document class. With \texttt{book}-like classes the localisation string \texttt{bibliography} is used, with other classes it is \texttt{references} (see \secref{aut:lng:key}). See also \secref{use:cav:scr, use:cav:mem} for class-specific hints.
+
+\item[subbibliography]
+Similar to \texttt{bibliography} but one sectioning level lower. This heading definition uses \cmd{section*} instead of \cmd{chapter*} with a \texttt{book}-like class and \cmd{subsection*} instead of \cmd{section*} otherwise.
+
+\item[bibintoc]
+Similar to \texttt{bibliography} above but adds an entry to the table of contents.
+
+\item[subbibintoc]
+Similar to \texttt{subbibliography} above but adds an entry to the table of contents.
+
+\item[bibnumbered]
+Similar to \texttt{bibliography} above but uses \cmd{chapter} or \cmd{section} to create a numbered heading which is also added to the table of contents.
+
+\item[subbibnumbered]
+Similar to \texttt{subbibliography} above but uses \cmd{section} or \cmd{subsection} to create a numbered heading which is also added to the table of contents.
+
+\item[none]
+A blank heading definition. Use this to suppress the heading.
+
+\end{valuelist*}
+
+The following headings intended for use with \cmd{printbiblist} are predefined:
+
+\begin{valuelist*}
+
+\item[biblist]
+This is the default heading used by \cmd{printbiblist} if the \opt{heading} option is not given. It is similar to \texttt{bibliography} above except that it uses the localisation string \texttt{shorthands} instead of \texttt{bibliography} or \texttt{references} (see \secref{aut:lng:key}). See also \secref{use:cav:scr, use:cav:mem} for class-specific hints.
+
+\item[biblistintoc]
+Similar to \texttt{biblist} above but adds an entry to the table of contents.
+
+\item[biblistnumbered]
+Similar to \texttt{biblist} above but uses \cmd{chapter} or \cmd{section} to create a numbered heading which is also added to the table of contents.
+
+\end{valuelist*}
+
+\subsubsection{Bibliography Notes}
+\label{use:bib:nts}
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{defbibnote}{name}{text}
+
+Defines the bibliography note \prm{name}, to be used via the \opt{prenote} and \opt{postnote} options of \cmd{printbibliography} and \cmd{printbiblist}. The \prm{text} may be any arbitrary piece of text, possibly spanning several paragraphs and containing font declarations. Also see \secref{use:cav:act}.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Bibliography Filters and Checks}
+\label{use:bib:flt}
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{defbibfilter}{name}{expression}
+
+Defines the custom bibliography filter \prm{name}, to be used via the \opt{filter} option of \cmd{printbibliography}. The \prm{expression} is a complex test based on the logical operators \texttt{and}, \texttt{or}, \texttt{not}, the group separator \texttt{(...)}, and the following atomic tests:
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\valitem{segment}{integer}
+
+Matches all entries cited in reference segment \prm{integer}.
+
+\valitem{type}{entrytype}
+
+Matches all entries whose entry type is \prm{entrytype}.
+
+\valitem{subtype}{subtype}
+
+Matches all entries whose \bibfield{entrysubtype} is \prm{subtype}.
+
+\valitem{keyword}{keyword}
+
+Matches all entries whose \bibfield{keywords} field includes \prm{keyword}. If the \prm{keyword} contains spaces, it needs to be wrapped in braces.
+
+\valitem{category}{category}
+
+Matches all entries assigned to \prm{category} with \cmd{addtocategory}.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+Here is an example of a filter expression:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}[style=latex,keywords={and,or,not,type,keyword}]
+\defbibfilter{example}{%
+ ( type=book or type=inbook )
+ and keyword=abc
+ and not keyword={x y z}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This filter will match all entries whose entry type is either \bibtype{book} or \bibtype{inbook} and whose \bibfield{keywords} field includes the keyword <\texttt{abc}> but not <\texttt{x y z}>. As seen in the above example, all elements are separated by whitespace (spaces, tabs, or line endings). There is no spacing around the equal sign. The logical operators are evaluated with the \cmd{ifboolexpr} command from the \sty{etoolbox} package. See the \sty{etoolbox} manual for details about the syntax. The syntax of the \cmd{ifthenelse} command from the \sty{ifthen} package, which has been employed in older versions of \biblatex, is still supported. This is the same test using \sty{ifthen}-like syntax:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}[style=ifthen,morekeywords={\\type,\\keyword}]
+\defbibfilter{example}{%
+ \( \type{book} \or \type{inbook} \)
+ \and \keyword{abc}
+ \and \not \keyword{x y z}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Note that custom filters are local to the reference section in which they are used. Use the \texttt{section} filter of \cmd{printbibliography} to select a different section. This is not possible from within a custom filter.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{defbibcheck}{name}{code}
+
+Defines the custom bibliography filter \prm{name}, to be used via the \opt{check} option of \cmd{printbibliography}. \cmd{defbibcheck} is similar in concept to \cmd{defbibfilter} but much more low-level. Rather than a high-level expression, the \prm{code} is \latex code, much like the code used in driver definitions, which may perform arbitrary tests to decide whether or not a given entry is to be printed. The bibliographic data of the respective entry is available when the \prm{code} is executed. Issuing the command \cmd{skipentry} in the \prm{code} will cause the current entry to be skipped. For example, the following filter will only output entries with an \bibfield{abstract} field:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\defbibcheck{<<abstract>>}{%
+ \iffieldundef{abstract}{<<\skipentry>>}{}}
+...
+\printbibliography[<<check=abstract>>]
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The following check will exclude all entries published before the year 2000:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\defbibcheck{recent}{%
+ \iffieldint{year}
+ {\ifnumless{\thefield{year}}{2000}
+ {\skipentry}
+ {}}
+ {\skipentry}}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+See the author guide, in particular \secref{aut:aux:tst,aut:aux:ife}, for further details.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Reference Contexts}
+\label{use:bib:context}
+
+References in a bibliography are cited and printed in a <context>. The context determines the data which is actually used to cite or provide bibliographic data for an entry. A context consists of the following information:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item A sorting template
+ \item A template for constructing the sorting keys for names
+ \item A string prefix for citation schemes which use alphabetic or numeric labels
+ \item A template for calculating name uniqueness information
+ \item A template for constructing alphabetic labels for names
+ \item A multiscript default <form>
+ \item A multiscript default <language>
+\end{itemize}
+%
+The purpose of bibliography contexts is twofold. Firstly, they are used to set options which influence a printed bibliography and secondly to influence the data printed by citation commands.
+The former use is the most common when one needs to print more than one bibliography list with different, for example, sorting.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\usepackage[sorting=nyt]{biblatex}
+\begin{document}
+\cite{one}
+\cite{two}
+\printbibliography
+\newrefcontext[sorting=ydnt]
+\printbibliography
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Here we print two bibliographies, one with the default <nyt> sorting template and one with the <ydnt> sorting template.
+
+To demonstrate the second type of use of bibliography contexts, we have to understand that the actual data for an entry can vary depending on the context. This is most obvious in the case of the \bibfield{extra*} fields like \bibfield{extradate} which are generated by the backend according to the order of entries \emph{after} sorting so that they come out in the expected <a, b, c> order. This clearly shows that the \emph{data} in an entry can be different between sorting templates. If a document contains more than one bibliography list with different sorting templates, it can happen then that the \file{.bbl} contains sorting lists with the same entry but containing different data (a different value for \bibfield{extradate}, for example). The purpose of bibliography contexts is to encapsulate things inside a context so that \biblatex can use the correct entry data. An example is printing a bibliography list with a different sorting order to the global sorting order where the \opt{extra*} fields are different for the same entry between sorting lists:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\usepackage[sorting=nyt,style=authoryear]{biblatex}
+\DeclareSortingTemplate{yntd}{
+ \sort{
+ \field[strside=left,strwidth=4]{sortyear}
+ \field[strside=left,strwidth=4]{year}
+ \literal{9999}
+ }
+ \sort{
+ \field{sortname}
+ \field{author}
+ \field{editor}
+ }
+ \sort[direction=descending]{
+ \field{sorttitle}
+ \field{title}
+ }
+}
+\begin{document}
+\cite{one}
+\cite{two}
+\printbibliography
+\newrefcontext[sorting=yntd]
+\cite{one}
+\cite{two}
+\printbibliography
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Here, the second use of the citations, along with the \cmd{printbibliography} command will use data from the context of the custom <yntd> sorting template which may well be different from the data associated with the default <nyt> template. That is, the citation labels (in an authoryear style which uses \opt{extradate}) may be different \emph{for the exact same entries} between different bibliography contexts and so the citations themselves may look different.
+
+Reference contexts can be declared with \cmd{DeclareRefcontext} and referred to by name, see below.
+
+By default, data for a citation is drawn from the reference context of the last bibliography in which it was printed. For example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}[style=latex]
+\DeclareRefcontext{ap}{labelprefix=A}
+\begin{document}
+
+\cite{book, article, misc}
+
+\printbibliography[type=book]
+
+\newrefcontext{ap}
+\printbibliography[type=article]
+
+\newrefcontext[sorting=ydnt]
+\printbibliography[type=misc]
+
+\end{document}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This example also shows the declaration and use of a named reference context. Assuming the entrykeys are indicative of their entrytypes, this is the default situation for the citations which corresponds to what users normally expect:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item The citation of entry \bibfield{book} would draw its data from the global reference context, because the last bibliography in which it was printed was the one in the global reference context.
+\item The citation of entry \bibfield{article} would draw its data from reference context with \opt{labelprefix=A} and would therefore have a <A> prefix when cited.
+\item The citation of entry \bibfield{misc} would draw its data from the reference context with \opt{sorting=ydnt}
+\end{itemize}
+%
+In cases where the user has entries which occur in multiple bibliographies in different forms or with potentially different labels (in a numeric scheme with different \bibfield{labelprefix} values for example), it may be necessary to tell \biblatex from which reference context you wish to draw the citation information. As shown above this can be done by explicitly putting citations inside reference contexts. This can be onerous in a large document and so there is specific functionality for assigning citations to reference contexts programatically, see the \cmd{assignrefcontext*} macros below.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareRefcontext}{name}{key=value, \dots}
+
+Declares a named reference context with name \prm{name}. The \prm{key=value} options define the context attributes. All context attributes are optional and default to the global settings if absent. The valid options are:
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\valitem[default]{msform}{form}
+
+The default multiscript field alternate <form>. Must be one of the forms declared in <multiscriptforms> constant. This controls the default <form> for multiscript aware macros and citations within the scope of the refcontext. See \ref{use:multiscript}.
+
+\valitem[en-us]{mslang}{bcp47tag}
+
+The default multiscript field alternate <language> as a BCP47 tag. This controls the default <language> for multiscript aware macros and citations within the scope of the refcontext. See \ref{use:multiscript}.
+
+\valitem{sorting}{name}
+
+Specify a sorting template defined previously with \cmd{DeclareSortingTemplate}. This template is used to determine which data to retrieve and/or print for an entry in the commands inside the context.
+
+\valitem{sortingnamekeytemplatename}{name}
+
+Specify a sorting name key template defined previously with \cmd{DeclareSortingNamekeyTemplate}. This template is used to construct sorting keys for names inside the context. The template name can also be specified (in increasing order of preference) per"=entry, per"=name list and per"=name. See \secref{apx:opt} for information on setting per"=option, per"=namelist and per"=name options.
+
+\valitem{uniquenametemplatename}{name}
+
+Specify a uniquename template defined previously with \cmd{DeclareUniquenameTemplate} (see \secref{aut:cav:amb}). This template is used to calculate uniqueness information for names inside the context. The template name can also be specified (in increasing order of preference) per"=entry, per"=name list and per"=name. See \secref{apx:opt} for information on setting per"=option, per"=namelist and per"=name options.
+
+\valitem{labelalphanametemplatename}{name}
+
+Specify a template defined previously with \cmd{DeclareLabelalphaNameTemplate} (see \secref{aut:ctm:lab}). This template is used to construct name parts of alphabetic labels for names inside the context. The template name can also be specified (in increasing order of preference) per"=entry, per"=name list and per"=name. See \secref{apx:opt} for information on setting per"=option, per"=namelist and per"=name options.
+
+\valitem{nametemplates}{name}
+
+A convenience meta-option which sets \opt{sortingnamekeytemplate}, \opt{uniquenametemplate} and \opt{labelalphanametemplate} to the same template name. This option can also be specified (in increasing order of preference) per"=entry, per"=name list and per"=name. See \secref{apx:opt} for information on setting per"=option, per"=namelist and per"=name options.
+
+\valitem{labelprefix}{string}
+
+This option applies to numerical citation\slash bibliography styles only and requires that the \opt{defernumbers} option from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen} be enabled globally. Setting this option will implicitly enable \opt{resetnumbers} for the any \cmd{printbibliography} in the scope of the context (unless overridden by a user-specified value for \opt{resetnumbers}). The option assigns the \prm{string} as a prefix to all entries in the reference context. For example, if the \prm{string} is \texttt{A}, the numerical labels printed will be \texttt{[A1]}, \texttt{[A2]}, \texttt{[A3]}, etc. This is useful for subdivided numerical bibliographies where each subbibliography uses a different prefix. The \prm{string} is available to styles in the \bibfield{labelprefix} field of all affected entries. Note that the \prm{string} is fully expanded, which means that you can use context-dependent macros like \cmd{thechapter}, but not unexpandable commands such as \cmd{dag}. If you need to pass unexpandable code to \prm{string}, protect it from expansion with \cmd{detokenize}. See \secref{aut:bbx:fld:lab} for details.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+%
+
+\envitem{refcontext}[key=value, \dots]{name}
+
+Wraps a reference context environment. The possible \prm{key=value} optional arguments are as for \cmd{DeclareRefcontext} and override options given for the named reference context \prm{name}. \prm{name} can also be omitted as \verb+{}+ or by omitting even the empty braces\footnote{This slightly odd syntax possibility is a result of backwards compatibility with \biblatex $<$3.5}.
+
+The \opt{refcontext} environment cannot be nested and \biblatex will generate an error if you try to do so.
+
+\cmditem{newrefcontext}[key=value, \dots]{name}
+
+This command is similar to the \env{refcontext} environment except that it is a stand"=alone command rather than an environment. It automatically ends any previous reference context section begun with \cmd{newrefcontext} (if any) and immediately starts a new one. Note that the context section started by the last \cmd{newrefcontext} command in the document will extend to the very end of the document. Use \cmd{endrefcontext} if you want to terminate it earlier.
+
+\cmditem{localrefcontext}[key=value, \dots]{name}
+
+This command is similar to the \env{newrefcontext} command except that it sets up the reference context only locally.
+This is useful if the reference context needs to be changed within a group. There is no need to end a local reference context, it will automatically be reset once the group ends.
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+%
+At the beginning of the document, there is always a global context containing global settings for each of the reference context options. Here is an example summarising the reference contexts with various settings:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}[style=latex]
+\usepackage[sorting=nty]{biblatex}
+
+\DeclareRefcontext{testrc}{sorting=nyt}
+
+% Global reference context:
+% sorting=nty
+% sortingnamekeytemplate=global
+% labelprefix=
+
+\begin{document}
+
+\begin{refcontext}{testrc}
+% reference context:
+% sorting=nyt
+% sortingnamekeytemplate=global
+% labelprefix=
+\end{refcontext}
+
+\begin{refcontext}[labelprefix=A]{testrc}
+% reference context:
+% sorting=nyt
+% sortingnamekeytemplate=global
+% labelprefix=A
+\end{refcontext}
+
+\begin{refcontext}[sorting=ydnt,labelprefix=A]
+% reference context:
+% sorting=ydnt
+% sortingnamekeytemplate=global
+% labelprefix=A
+\end{refcontext}
+
+\newrefcontext}[labelprefix=B]
+% reference context:
+% sorting=nty
+% sortingnamekeytemplate=global
+% labelprefix=B
+\endrefcontext
+
+\newrefcontext}[sorting=ynt,labelprefix=C]{testrc}
+% reference context:
+% sorting=ynt
+% sortingnamekeytemplate=global
+% labelprefix=C
+\endrefcontext
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{assignrefcontextkeyws}[key=value, \dots]{keyword1,keyword2, ...}
+\cmditem{assignrefcontextkeyws*}[key=value, \dots]{keyword1,keyword2, ...}
+\cmditem{assignrefcontextcats}[key=value, \dots]{category1, category2, ...}
+\cmditem{assignrefcontextcats*}[key=value, \dots]{category1, category2, ...}
+\cmditem{assignrefcontextentries}[key=value, \dots]{entrykey1, entrykey2, ...}
+\cmditem{assignrefcontextentries*}[key=value, \dots]{entrykey1, entrykey2, ...}
+\cmditem{assignrefcontextentries}[key=value, \dots]{*}
+\cmditem{assignrefcontextentries*}[key=value, \dots]{*}
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+These commands automate putting citations into refcontexts when the default behaviour is not sufficient. The \prm{key=value} options are as for \cmd{DeclareRefcontext} with the addition of the \kvopt{name}{refcontextname} option which sets all options from those defined for the named refcontext \prm{refcontextname}. Use \kvopt{name}{default} to use the global default refcontext options. The specific \keyval options override those set by any named \prm{refcontextname}. The default behaviour is that the data for a citation is drawn from the refcontext of the most recently processed bibliography in which it was printed\footnote{This does not always mean what one might think. In a document containing multiple bibliographies, the last bibliography will be the context for any citations \emph{before} the first bibliography because all bibliographies are processed when the \file{.bbl} is read.}. For citations that are used in some way but not printed in a bibliography or bibliography list, they default to drawing their data from the global refcontext established at the beginning of the document. To override this behaviour, instead of manually wrapping citation commands in \env{refcontext} environments, which might be error-prone and tedious, you can register a comma"=separated list of \prm{keywords}, \prm{categories} or \prm{entrykeys} which, respectively, make the entries with any of the specified keywords, entries in any of the specified categories (see \secref{use:use:div}) or entries with any of the specified citation keys draw their data from a particular named refcontext and/or specified \prm{refcontext key/values}. Such refcontext auto-assignments are specific to the current refsection. You may specify the same citation key in any of these commands but be aware that assignment is done in the order \prm{keywords}, \prm{categories}, \prm{entrykeys} with the later specifications overriding the earlier. \cmd{assignrefcontextentries} accepts a single asterisk instead of a list of entrykeys which allows the as!
signment of all keys in a refsection to a refcontext with having to explicitly list them. An example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}[style=latex]
+\assignrefcontextentries[labelprefix=A]{key2}
+\cite{key1}
+\begin{refcontext}[labelprefix=B]
+\cite{key2}
+\end{refcontext}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Here, the data for the citation of \bibfield{key2} will be drawn from refcontext \opt{labelprefix=A} and not \opt{labelprefix=B} (resulting in a label with prefix <A> and not <B>).
+The starred versions do not override a local refcontext and so with:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}[style=latex]
+\assignrefcontextentries*[labelprefix=A]{key2}
+\cite{key1}
+\begin{refcontext}[labelprefix=B]
+\cite{key2}
+\end{refcontext}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+the data for the citation of \bibfield{key2} will be drawn from refcontext \opt{labelprefix=B}. Note that these commands are rarely necessary unless you have multiple bibliographies in which the same citations occur and \biblatex\ cannot by default tell which bibliography list a citation should refer to. See the example file \file{94-labelprefix.tex} for more details.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}[style=latex]
+\DeclareRefcontext{testrc}{labelprefix=A}
+\assignrefcontextentries[name=testrc]{key2}
+\cite{key1}
+\begin{refcontext}[labelprefix=B]
+\cite{key2}
+\end{refcontext}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Here, the data for the citation of \bibfield{key2} will be drawn from the refcontext named <testrc> which has \opt{labelprefix=A} and not \opt{labelprefix=B} (resulting in a label with prefix <A> and not <B>).
+
+\begin{ltxexample}[style=latex]
+\DeclareRefcontext{testrc}{labelprefix=A}
+\assignrefcontextentries[name=testrc,labelprefix=C]{key2}
+\cite{key1}
+\begin{refcontext}[labelprefix=B]
+\cite{key2}
+\end{refcontext}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Here, the data for the citation of \bibfield{key2} will be drawn from refcontext with \opt{labelprefix=C} and not \opt{labelprefix=A} since the explicit options override the named refcontext (resulting in a label with prefix <C> and not <A> or <B>).
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+\cmditem{GenRefcontextData}{key=value, \dots}
+
+This command takes the same key/value options as \cmd{DeclareRefcontext}. It forces the currently active refcontext, optionally modified by the key/value options, to be written to the \file{.bcf} so that \biber will create a sorted data list for the specified refcontext. Normally this is automatic when \cmd{printbibliography}/\cmd{prinbiblist} is used in a reference context but there are situations where the data for a refcontext will be needed but no reference list is generated in that context e.g. to sort citations with the \opt{sortcites} option when the sorting of citations requires a different refcontext to that used for the actual reference list.
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Dynamic Entry Sets}
+\label{use:bib:set}
+
+In addition to the \bibtype{set} entry type, \biblatex also supports dynamic entry sets defined on a per-document\slash per-refsection basis. The following command, which may be used in the document preamble or the document body, defines the set \prm{key}:
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{defbibentryset}{key}{key1,key2,key3, \dots}
+
+The \prm{key} is the entry key of the set, which is used like any other entry key when referring to the set. The \prm{key} must be unique and it must not conflict with any other entry key. The second argument is a comma"=separated list of the entry keys which make up the set. \cmd{defbibentryset} implies the equivalent of a \cmd{nocite} command, \ie all sets which are declared are also added to the bibliography. When declaring the same set more than once, only the first invocation of \cmd{defbibentryset} will define the set. Subsequent definitions of the same \prm{key} are ignored and work like \cmd{nocite}\prm{key}. Dynamic entry sets defined in the document body are local to the enclosing \env{refsection} environment, if any. Otherwise, they are assigned to reference section~0. Those defined in the preamble are assigned to reference section~0. See \secref{use:use:set} for further details.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsection{Citation Commands}
+\label{use:cit}
+
+All citation commands generally take one mandatory and two optional arguments. The \prm{prenote} is text to be printed at the beginning of the citation. This is usually a notice such as <see> or <compare>. The \prm{postnote} is text to be printed at the very end of the citation. This is usually a page number. If only one of these arguments is given, it is taken as a postnote. If you want to specify a prenote but no postnote, you need to leave the second optional argument empty, as in |\cite[see][]{key}|. The \prm{key} argument to all citation commands is mandatory. This is the entry key or a comma"=separated list of keys corresponding to the entry keys in the \file{bib} file. In sum, all basic citations commands listed further down have the following syntax:
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem*{command}[prenote][postnote]{keys}<punctuation>
+
+If the \opt{autopunct} package option from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen} is enabled, they will scan ahead for any \prm{punctuation} immediately following their last argument. This is useful to avoid spurious punctuation marks after citations. This feature is configured with \cmd{DeclareAutoPunctuation}, see \secref{aut:pct:cfg} for details.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Standard Commands}
+\label{use:cit:std}
+
+The following commands are defined by the citation style. Citation styles may provide any arbitrary number of specialized commands, but these are the standard commands typically provided by general-purpose styles.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{cite}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem{Cite}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+These are the bare citation commands. They print the citation without any additions such as parentheses. The numeric and alphabetic styles still wrap the label in square brackets since the reference may be ambiguous otherwise. \cmd{Cite} is similar to \cmd{cite} but capitalizes the name prefix of the first name in the citation if the \opt{useprefix} option is enabled, provided that there is a name prefix and the citation style prints any name at all.
+
+\cmditem{parencite}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem{Parencite}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+These commands use a format similar to \cmd{cite} but enclose the entire citation in parentheses. The numeric and alphabetic styles use square brackets instead. \cmd{Parencite} is similar to \cmd{parencite} but capitalizes the name prefix of the first name in the citation if the \opt{useprefix} option is enabled, provided that there is a name prefix and the citation style prints any name at all.
+
+\cmditem{footcite}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem{footcitetext}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+These command use a format similar to \cmd{cite} but put the entire citation in a footnote and add a period at the end. In the footnote, they automatically capitalize the name prefix of the first name if the \opt{useprefix} option is enabled, provided that there is a name prefix and the citation style prints any name at all. \cmd{footcitetext} differs from \cmd{footcite} in that it uses \cmd{footnotetext} instead of \cmd{footnote}.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Style-specific Commands}
+\label{use:cit:cbx}
+
+The following additional citation commands are only provided by some of the citation styles which come with this package.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{textcite}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem{Textcite}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+These citation commands are provided by all styles that come with this package. They are intended for use in the flow of text, replacing the subject of a sentence. They print the authors or editors followed by a citation label which is enclosed in parentheses. Depending on the citation style, the label may be a number, the year of publication, an abridged version of the title, or something else. The numeric and alphabetic styles use square brackets instead of parentheses. In the verbose styles, the label is provided in a footnote. Trailing punctuation is moved between the author or editor names and the footnote mark. \cmd{Textcite} is similar to \cmd{textcite} but capitalizes the name prefix of the first name in the citation if the \opt{useprefix} option is enabled, provided that there is a name prefix.
+
+\cmditem{smartcite}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem{Smartcite}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+Like \cmd{parencite} in a footnote and like \cmd{footcite} in the body.
+
+\cmditem{cite*}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+This command is provided by all author-year and author-title styles. It is similar to the regular \cmd{cite} command but merely prints the year or the title, respectively.
+
+\cmditem{parencite*}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+This command is provided by all author-year and author-title styles. It is similar to the regular \cmd{parencite} command but merely prints the year or the title, respectively.
+
+\cmditem{supercite}{key}
+
+This command, which is only provided by the numeric styles, prints numeric citations as superscripts without brackets. It uses \cmd{supercitedelim} instead of \cmd{multicitedelim} as citation delimiter. Note that any \prm{prenote} and \prm{postnote} arguments are ignored. If they are given, \cmd{supercite} will discard them and issue a warning message.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Qualified Citation Lists}
+\label{use:cit:mlt}
+
+This package supports a class of special citation commands called <multicite> commands. The point of these commands is that their argument is a list of citations where each item forms a fully qualified citation with a pre- and\slash or postnote. This is particularly useful with parenthetical citations and citations given in footnotes. It is also possible to assign a pre- and\slash or postnote to the entire list. The multicite commands are built on top of backend commands like \cmd{parencite} and \cmd{footcite}. The citation style provides a multicite definition with \cmd{DeclareMultiCiteCommand} (see \secref{aut:cbx:cbx}). The following example illustrates the syntax of multicite commands:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\parencites[35]{key1}[88--120]{key2}[23]{key3}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The format of the arguments is similar to that of the regular citation commands, except that only one citation command is given. If only one optional argument is given for an item in the list, it is taken as a postnote. If you want to specify a prenote but no postnote, you need to leave the second optional argument of the respective item empty:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\parencites[35]{key1}[chapter 2 in][]{key2}[23]{key3}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+In addition to that, the entire citation list may also have a pre- and\slash or postnote. The syntax of these global notes differs from other optional arguments in that they are given in parentheses rather than the usual brackets:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\parencites<<(>>and chapter 3<<)>>[35]{key1}[78]{key2}[23]{key3}
+\parencites<<(>>Compare<<)()>>[35]{key1}[78]{key2}[23]{key3}
+\parencites<<(>>See<<)(>>and the introduction<<)>>[35]{key1}[78]{key2}[23]{key3}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Note that the multicite commands keep on scanning for arguments until they encounter a token that is not the start of an optional or mandatory argument. If a left brace or bracket follows a multicite command, you need to mask it by adding \cmd{relax} or a control space (a backslash followed by a space) after the last valid argument. This will cause the scanner to stop.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}[style=latex,showspaces]
+\parencites[35]{key1}[78]{key2}<<\relax>>[...]
+\parencites[35]{key1}[78]{key2}<<\ >>{...}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+By default, this package provides the following multicite commands which correspond to regular commands from \secref{use:cit:std, use:cit:cbx}:
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{cites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote][postnote]{key}|...|[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem{Cites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote][postnote]{key}|...|[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+The multicite version of \cmd{cite} and \cmd{Cite}, respectively.
+
+\cmditem{parencites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote][postnote]{key}|...|[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem{Parencites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote][postnote]{key}|...|[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+The multicite version of \cmd{parencite} and \cmd{Parencite}, respectively.
+
+\cmditem{footcites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote][postnote]{key}|...|[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem{footcitetexts}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote][postnote]{key}|...|[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+The multicite version of \cmd{footcite} and \cmd{footcitetext}, respectively.
+
+\cmditem{smartcites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote][postnote]{key}|...|[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem{Smartcites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote][postnote]{key}|...|[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+The multicite version of \cmd{smartcite} and \cmd{Smartcite}, respectively.
+
+\cmditem{textcites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote][postnote]{key}|...|[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem{Textcites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote][postnote]{key}|...|[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+The multicite version of \cmd{textcite} and \cmd{Textcite}, respectively.
+
+\cmditem{supercites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote][postnote]{key}|...|[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+The multicite version of \cmd{supercite}. This command is only provided by the numeric styles.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Style-independent Commands}
+\label{use:cit:aut}
+
+Sometimes it is desirable to give the citations in the source file in a format that is not tied to a specific citation style and can be modified globally in the preamble. The format of the citations is easily changed by loading a different citation style. However, when using commands such as \cmd{parencite} or \cmd{footcite}, the way the citations are integrated with the text is still effectively hard"=coded. The idea behind the \cmd{autocite} command is to provide higher"=level citation markup which makes global switching from inline citations to citations given in footnotes (or as superscripts) possible. The \cmd{autocite} command is built on top of backend commands like \cmd{parencite} and \cmd{footcite}. The citation style provides an \cmd{autocite} definition with \cmd{DeclareAutoCiteCommand} (see \secref{aut:cbx:cbx}). This definition may be activated with the \opt{autocite} package option from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}. The citation style will usually initialize this package option to a value which is suitable for the style, see \secref{use:xbx:cbx} for details. Note that there are certain limits to high"=level citation markup. For example, inline author-year citation schemes often integrate citations so tightly with the text that it is virtually impossible to automatically convert them to footnotes. The \cmd{autocite} command is only applicable in cases in which you would normally use \cmd{parencite} or \cmd{footcite} (or \cmd{supercite}, with a numeric style). The citations should be given at the end of a sentence or a partial sentence, immediately preceding the terminal punctuation mark, and they should not be a part of the sentence in a grammatical sense (like \cmd{textcite}, for example).
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{autocite}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem{Autocite}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+In contrast to other citation commands, the \cmd{autocite} command does not only scan ahead for punctuation marks following its last argument to avoid double punctuation marks, it actually moves them around if required. For example, with \kvopt{autocite}{footnote}, a trailing punctuation mark will be moved such that the footnote mark is printed after the punctuation. \cmd{Autocite} is similar to \cmd{autocite} but capitalizes the name prefix of the first name in the citation if the \opt{useprefix} option is enabled, provided that there is a name prefix and the citation style prints any name at all.
+
+\cmditem*{autocite*}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem*{Autocite*}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+The starred variants of \cmd{autocite} do not behave differently from the regular ones. The asterisk is simply passed on to the backend command. For example, if \cmd{autocite} is configured to use \cmd{parencite}, then \cmd{autocite*} will execute \cmd{parencite*}.
+
+\cmditem{autocites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote][postnote]{key}|...|[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem{Autocites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote][postnote]{key}|...|[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+This is the multicite version of \cmd{autocite}. It also detects and moves punctuation if required. Note that there is no starred variant. \cmd{Autocites} is similar to \cmd{autocites} but capitalizes the name prefix of the first name in the citation if the \opt{useprefix} option is enabled, provided that there is a name prefix and the citation style prints any name at all.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Text Commands}
+\label{use:cit:txt}
+
+The following commands are provided by the core of \biblatex. They are intended for use in the flow of text. Note that all text commands are excluded from citation tracking.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{citeauthor}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem*{citeauthor*}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem{Citeauthor}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem*{Citeauthor*}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+These commands print the authors. Strictly speaking, it prints the \bibfield{labelname} list, which may be the
+\bibfield{author}, the \bibfield{editor}, or the \bibfield{translator}. \cmd{Citeauthor} is similar to \cmd{citeauthor} but capitalizes the name prefix of the first name in the citation if the \opt{useprefix} option is enabled, provided that there is a name prefix. The starred variants effectively force maxcitenames to 1 for just this command on so only print the first name in the labelname list (potentially followed by the «et al» string if there are more names). This allows more natural textual flow when refering to a paper in the singular when otherwise \cmd{citeauthor} would generate a (naturally plural) list of names.
+
+\cmditem{citetitle}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem*{citetitle*}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+This command prints the title. It will use the abridged title in the \bibfield{shorttitle} field, if available. Otherwise it falls back to the full title found in the \bibfield{title} field. The starred variant always prints the full title.
+
+\cmditem{citeyear}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem*{citeyear*}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+This command prints the year (\bibfield{year} field or year component of \bibfield{date}). The starred variant includes the \bibfield{extradate} information, if any.
+
+\cmditem{citedate}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem*{citedate*}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+This command prints the full date (\bibfield{date} or \bibfield{year}). The starred variant includes the \bibfield{extradate} information, if any.
+
+\cmditem{citeurl}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+This command prints the \bibfield{url} field.
+
+\cmditem{parentext}{text}
+
+This command wraps the \prm{text} in context sensitive parentheses.
+
+\cmditem{brackettext}{text}
+
+This command wraps the \prm{text} in context sensitive brackets.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Special Commands}
+\label{use:cit:spc}
+
+The following special commands are also provided by the core of \biblatex.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{nocite}{key}
+\cmditem*{nocite}|\{*\}|
+
+This command is similar to the standard \latex \cmd{nocite} command. It
+adds the \prm{key} to the bibliography without printing a citation. If the
+\prm{key} is an asterisk, all entries available in the in-scope bibliography datasource(s) are added to the bibliography. Like all other citation commands, \cmd{nocite} commands in the document body are local to the enclosing \env{refsection} environment, if any. In contrast to standard \latex, \cmd{nocite} may also be used in the document preamble. In this case, the references are assigned to reference section~0. For the purposes of ordering citations by appearance \cmd{nocite} will behave like all other cite commands, with the added rule that a \cmd{nocite} issued in the preamble is treated as coming before all explicit citations in reference section~0 from the document body.
+
+\cmditem{fullcite}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+This command uses the bibliography driver for the respective entry type to create a full citation similar to the bibliography entry. It is thus related to the bibliography style rather than the citation style.
+
+\cmditem{footfullcite}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{fullcite} but puts the entire citation in a footnote and adds a period at the end.
+
+\cmditem{volcite}[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+\cmditem{Volcite}[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+
+These commands are similar to \cmd{cite} and \cmd{Cite} but intended for references to multi"=volume works which are cited by volume and page number. Instead of the \prm{postnote}, they take a mandatory \prm{volume} and an optional \prm{pages} argument. Since they merely compose the postnote and pass it to the \cmd{cite} command provided by the citation style as a \prm{postnote} argument, these commands are style independent. The volume and pages/text portion are formatted with the macro \cmd{mkvolcitenote} when they are passed on to the citation command. Additionally they are made available in the special fields \bibfield{volcitevolume} and \bibfield{volcitevolume} (\secref{aut:cbx:fld}) The format of the volume portion is controlled by the field formatting directive \opt{volcitevolume}, the format of the pages/text portion is controlled by the field formatting directive \opt{volcitepages} (\secref{aut:fmt:ich}). The delimiter printed between the volume portion and the pages/text portion may be modified by redefining the macro \cmd{volcitedelim} (\secref{aut:fmt:fmt}).
+
+\cmditem{volcites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}|\\...|[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+\cmditem{Volcites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}|\\...|[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+
+The multicite version of \cmd{volcite} and \cmd{Volcite}, respectively.
+
+\cmditem{pvolcite}[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+\cmditem{Pvolcite}[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{volcite} but based on \cmd{parencite}.
+
+\cmditem{pvolcites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}|\\...|[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+\cmditem{Pvolcites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}|\\...|[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+
+The multicite version of \cmd{pvolcite} and \cmd{Pvolcite}, respectively.
+
+\cmditem{fvolcite}[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+\cmditem{ftvolcite}[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{volcite} but based on \cmd{footcite} and \cmd{footcitetext}, respectively.
+
+\cmditem{fvolcites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}|\\...|[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+\cmditem{Fvolcites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}|\\...|[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+
+The multicite version of \cmd{fvolcite} and \cmd{Fvolcite}, respectively.
+
+\cmditem{svolcite}[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+\cmditem{Svolcite}[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{volcite} but based on \cmd{smartcite}.
+
+\cmditem{svolcites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}|\\...|[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+\cmditem{Svolcites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}|\\...|[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+
+The multicite version of \cmd{svolcite} and \cmd{Svolcite}, respectively.
+
+\cmditem{tvolcite}[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+\cmditem{Tvolcite}[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{volcite} but based on \cmd{textcite}.
+
+\cmditem{tvolcites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}|\\...|[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+\cmditem{Tvolcites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}|\\...|[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+
+The multicite version of \cmd{tvolcite} and \cmd{Tvolcite}, respectively.
+
+\cmditem{avolcite}[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+\cmditem{Avolcite}[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{volcite} but based on \cmd{autocite}.
+
+\cmditem{avolcites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}|\\...|[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+\cmditem{Avolcites}(multiprenote)(multipostnote)[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}|\\...|[prenote]{volume}[pages]{key}
+
+The multicite version of \cmd{avolcite} and \cmd{Avolcite}, respectively.
+
+\cmditem{notecite}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem{Notecite}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+These commands print the \prm{prenote} and \prm{postnote} arguments but no citation. This may be useful for authors who incorporate implicit citations in their writing, only giving information not mentioned before in the running text, but who still want to take advantage of the automatic \prm{postnote} formatting and citation tracking. This is a generic, style"=independent citation command. Special citation styles may provide smarter facilities for the same purpose. The capitalized version forces capitalization (note that this is only applicable if the note starts with a command which is sensitive to \biblatex's punctuation tracker).
+
+\cmditem{pnotecite}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+\cmditem{Pnotecite}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{notecite} but the notes are printed in parentheses.
+
+\cmditem{fnotecite}[prenote][postnote]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{notecite} but the notes are printed in a footnote.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Low-level Commands}
+\label{use:cit:low}
+
+The following commands are also provided by the core of \biblatex. They grant access to all lists and fields at a lower level.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{citefield}[prenote][postnote]{key}[format][msform][mslang]{field}
+
+The \prm{format} is a formatting directive defined with \cmd{DeclareFieldFormat}. Formatting directives are discussed in \secref{aut:bib:fmt}. If this optional argument is omitted, this command falls back to the format \texttt{citefield}. The last argument is the name of a \prm{field} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}), in the sense explained in \secref{bib:fld}.
+
+\cmditem{citelist}[prenote][postnote]{key}[format][msform][mslang]{literal list}
+
+The \prm{format} is a formatting directive defined with \cmd{DeclareListFormat}. Formatting directives are discussed in \secref{aut:bib:fmt}. If this optional argument is omitted, this command falls back to the format \texttt{citelist}. The last argument is the name of a \prm{literal list} (optionally a multiscript list of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}), in the sense explained in \secref{bib:fld}.
+
+\cmditem{citename}[prenote][postnote]{key}[format][msform][mslang]{name list}
+
+The \prm{format} is a formatting directive defined with \cmd{DeclareNameFormat}. Formatting directives are discussed in \secref{aut:bib:fmt}. If this optional argument is omitted, this command falls back to the format \texttt{citename}. The last argument is the name of a \prm{name list} (optionally a multiscript name of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}), in the sense explained in \secref{bib:fld}.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Miscellaneous Commands}
+\label{use:cit:msc}
+
+The commands in this section are little helpers related to citations.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\csitem{citereset}
+
+This command resets the citation style. This may be useful if the style replaces repeated citations with abbreviations like \emph{ibidem}, \emph{idem}, \emph{op. cit.}, etc. and you want to force a full citation at the beginning of a new chapter, section, or some other location. The command executes a style specific initialization hook defined with the \cmd{InitializeCitationStyle} command from \secref{aut:cbx:cbx}. It also resets the internal citation trackers of this package. The reset will affect the \cmd{ifciteseen}, \cmd{ifentryseen}, \cmd{ifciteibid}, and \cmd{ifciteidem} tests discussed in \secref{aut:aux:tst}. When used inside a \env{refsection} environment, the reset of the citation tracker is local to the current \env{refsection} environment. Also see the \opt{citereset} package option in \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}.
+
+\csitem{citereset*}
+
+Similar to \cmd{citereset} but only executes the style's initialization hook, without resetting the internal citation trackers.
+
+\csitem{mancite}
+
+Use this command to mark manually inserted citations if you mix automatically generated and manual citations. This is particularly useful if the citation style replaces repeated citations by an abbreviation like \emph{ibidem} which may get ambiguous or misleading otherwise. Always use \cmd{mancite} in the same context as the manual citation, \eg if the citation is given in a footnote, include \cmd{mancite} in the footnote. The \cmd{mancite} command executes a style specific reset hook defined with the \cmd{OnManualCitation} command from \secref{aut:cbx:cbx}. It also resets the internal <ibidem> and <idem> trackers of this package. The reset will affect the \cmd{ifciteibid} and \cmd{ifciteidem} tests discussed in \secref{aut:aux:tst}.
+
+\csitem{pno}
+
+This command forces a single page prefix in the \prm{postnote} argument to a citation command. See \secref{use:cav:pag} for further details and usage instructions. Note that this command is only available locally in citations and the bibliography.
+
+\csitem{ppno}
+
+Similar to \cmd{pno} but forces a range prefix. See \secref{use:cav:pag} for further details and usage instructions. Note that this command is only available locally in citations and the bibliography.
+
+\csitem{nopp}
+
+Similar to \cmd{pno} but suppresses all prefixes. See \secref{use:cav:pag} for further details and usage instructions. Note that this command is only available locally in citations and the bibliography.
+
+\csitem{psq}
+
+In the \prm{postnote} argument to a citation command, this command indicates a range of two pages where only the starting page is given. See \secref{use:cav:pag} for further details and usage instructions. The suffix printed is the localisation string \texttt{sequens}, see \secref{aut:lng:key}. The spacing inserted between the suffix and the page number may be modified by redefining the macro \cmd{sqspace}. The default is an unbreakable interword space. Note that this command is only available locally in citations and the bibliography.
+
+\csitem{psqq}
+
+Similar to \cmd{psq} but indicates an open-ended page range. See \secref{use:cav:pag} for further details and usage instructions. The suffix printed is the localisation string \texttt{sequentes}, see \secref{aut:lng:key}. This command is only available locally in citations and the bibliography.
+
+\cmditem{pnfmt}{text}
+
+This command formats its argument \prm{text} in the same format as \bibfield{postnote}. The command can be used to format a page range while adding additional text in the postnote argument of a cite command.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\autocite[\pnfmt{378-381, 383} and more]{sigfridsson}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{RN}{integer}
+
+This command prints an integer as an uppercase Roman numeral. The formatting applied to the numeral may be modified by redefining the macro \cmd{RNfont}.
+
+\cmditem{Rn}{integer}
+
+Similar to \cmd{RN} but prints a lowercase Roman numeral. The formatting applied to the numeral may be modified by redefining the macro \cmd{Rnfont}.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{\sty{natbib} Compatibility Commands}
+\label{use:cit:nat}
+
+The \opt{natbib} package option loads a \sty{natbib} compatibility module. The module defines aliases for the citation commands provided by the \sty{natbib} package. This includes aliases for the core citation commands \cmd{citet} and \cmd{citep} as well as the variants \cmd{citealt} and \cmd{citealp}. The starred variants of these commands, which print the full author list, are also supported. The \cmd{cite} command, which is handled in a particular way by \sty{natbib}, is not treated in a special way. The text commands (\cmd{citeauthor}, \cmd{citeyear}, etc.) are also supported, as are all commands which capitalize the name prefix (\cmd{Citet}, \cmd{Citep}, \cmd{Citeauthor}, etc.). Aliasing with \cmd{defcitealias}, \cmd{citetalias}, and \cmd{citepalias} is possible as well. Note that the compatibility commands will not emulate the citation format of the \sty{natbib} package. They merely alias \sty{natbib}'s commands to functionally equivalent facilities of the \biblatex package. The citation format depends on the main citation style. However, the compatibility style will adapt \cmd{nameyeardelim} to match the default style of the \sty{natbib} package.
+
+\subsubsection[\sty{mcite}-like Citation Commands]{\sty{mcite}-like Citation Commands}
+\label{use:cit:mct}
+
+The \opt{mcite} package option loads a special citation module which provides \sty{mcite}\slash \sty{mciteplus}-like citation commands. Strictly speaking, what the module provides are wrappers for the commands of the main citation style. For example, the following command:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\mcite{key1,setA,*keyA1,*keyA2,*keyA3,key2,setB,*keyB1,*keyB2,*keyB3}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+is essentially equivalent to this:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\defbibentryset{setA}{keyA1,keyA2,keyA3}%
+\defbibentryset{setB}{keyB1,keyB2,keyB3}%
+\cite{key1,setA,key2,setB}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The \cmd{mcite} command will work with any style since the \cmd{cite} backend command is controlled by the main citation style as usual. The \texttt{mcite} module provides wrappers for the standard commands in \secref{use:cit:std,use:cit:cbx}. See \tabref{use:cit:mct:tab2} for an overview. Pre and postnotes as well as starred variants of all commands are also supported. The parameters will be passed to the backend command. For example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\mcite*[pre][post]{setA,*keyA1,*keyA2,*keyA3}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+will execute:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\defbibentryset{setA}{keyA1,keyA2,keyA3}%
+\cite*[pre][post]{setA}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Note that the \texttt{mcite} module is not a compatibility module. It provides commands which are very similar but not identical in syntax and function to \sty{mcite}'s commands. When migrating from \sty{mcite}\slash\sty{mciteplus} to \biblatex, legacy files must be updated. With \sty{mcite}, the first member of the citation group is also the identifier of the group as a whole. Borrowing an example from the \sty{mcite} manual, this group:
+
+\begin{table}
+\caption{\sty{mcite}-like commands}

+\begin{ltxexample}
+\cite{<<glashow>>,*salam,*weinberg}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+consists of three entries and the entry key of the first one also serves as identifier of the entire group. In contrast to that, a \biblatex entry set is an entity in its own right. Therefore, it requires a unique entry key which is assigned to the set as it is defined:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\mcite{<<set1>>,*glashow,*salam,*weinberg}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Once defined, an entry set is handled like any regular entry in a \file{bib} file. When using one of the \texttt{numeric} styles which come with \biblatex and activating its \opt{subentry} option, it is even possible to refer to set members. See \tabref{use:cit:mct:tab2} for some examples. Restating the original definition of the set is redundant, but permissible. In contrast to \sty{mciteplus}, however, restating a part of the original definition is invalid. Use the entry key of the set instead.

+\subsection{Localization Commands}
+\label{use:lng}
+
+The \biblatex package provides translations for key terms such as <edition> or <volume> as well as definitions for language specific features such as the date format and ordinals. These definitions, which are loaded automatically, may be modified or extended in the document preamble or the configuration file with the commands introduced in this section.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DefineBibliographyStrings}{language}{definitions}
+
+This command is used to define localisation strings. The \prm{language} must be a language name known to the \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} packages, \ie one of the identifiers listed in \tabref{bib:fld:tab1} on page \pageref{bib:fld:tab1}. The \prm{definitions} are \keyval pairs which assign an expression to an identifier:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DefineBibliographyStrings{american}{%
+ bibliography = {Bibliography},
+ shorthands = {Abbreviations},
+ editor = {editor},
+ editors = {editors},
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+A complete list of all keys supported by default is given is \secref{aut:lng:key}. Note that all expressions should be capitalized as they usually are when used in the middle of a sentence. The \biblatex package will automatically capitalize the first word when required at the beginning of a sentence. Expressions intended for use in headings should be capitalized in a way that is suitable for titling. In contrast to \cmd{DeclareBibliographyStrings}, \cmd{DefineBibliographyStrings} overrides both the full and the abbreviated version of the string. See \secref{aut:lng:cmd} for further details.
+
+\cmditem{DefineBibliographyExtras}{language}{code}
+
+This command is used to adapt language specific features such as the date format and ordinals. The \prm{language} must be a language name known to the \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} packages. The \prm{code}, which may be arbitrary \latex code, will usually consist of redefinitions of the formatting commands from \secref{use:fmt:lng}.
+
+\cmditem{UndefineBibliographyExtras}{language}{code}
+
+This command is used to restore the original definition of any commands modified with \cmd{DefineBibliographyExtras}. If a redefined command is included in \secref{use:fmt:lng}, there is no need to restore its previous definition since these commands are adapted by all language modules anyway.
+
+\cmditem{DefineHyphenationExceptions}{language}{text}
+
+This is a \latex frontend to \tex's \cmd{hyphenation} command which defines hyphenation exceptions.
+The \prm{language} must be a language name known to the \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} packages. The \prm{text} is a whitespace"=separated list of words. Hyphenation points are marked with a dash:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DefineHyphenationExceptions{american}{%
+ hy-phen-ation ex-cep-tion
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{NewBibliographyString}{key}
+
+This command declares new localisation strings, \ie it initializes a new \prm{key} to be used in the
+\prm{definitions} of \cmd{DefineBibliographyStrings}. The \prm{key} argument may also be a comma"=separated
+list of key names. The keys listed in \secref{aut:lng:key} are defined by default.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsection{Entry Querying Commands}
+\label{use:eq}
+The commands in this section are user-facing equivalents of the identically-named commands in section \secref{aut:aux:tst}. They can be used to test for the presence and attributes of specific bibliography entries. See section \secref{aut:aux:tst} for usage.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+\cmditem{ifentryseen}{entrykey}{true}{false}
+\cmditem{ifentryinbib}{entrykey}{true}{false}
+\cmditem{ifentrycategory}{entrykey}{category}{true}{false}
+\cmditem{ifentrykeyword}{entrykey}{keyword}{true}{false}
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsection{Formatting Commands}
+\label{use:fmt}
+
+The commands and facilities presented in this section may be used to adapt the format of citations and the bibliography.
+
+\subsubsection{Generic Commands and Hooks}
+\label{use:fmt:fmt}
+
+The commands in this section may be redefined with \cmd{renewcommand} in the document preamble. Those marked as <Context Sensitive> in the margin can also (and generally should) be customised with \cmd{DeclareDelimFormat} and are printed with \cmd{printdelim} (\secref{use:fmt:csd}). Note that all commands starting with \cmd{mk\dots} take one argument. All of these commands are defined in \path{biblatex.def}.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\csitem{bibsetup}
+Arbitrary code to be executed at the beginning of the bibliography, intended for commands which affect the layout of the bibliography.
+
+\csitem{bibfont}
+Arbitrary code setting the font used in the bibliography. This is very similar to \cmd{bibsetup} but intended for switching fonts.
+
+\csitem{citesetup}
+Arbitrary code to be executed at the beginning of each citation command.
+
+\csitem{newblockpunct}
+The separator inserted between <blocks> in the sense explained in \secref{aut:pct:new}. The default definition is controlled by the package option \opt{block} (see \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}).
+
+\csitem{newunitpunct}
+The separator inserted between <units> in the sense explained in \secref{aut:pct:new}. This will usually be a period or a comma plus an interword space. The default definition is a period and a space.
+
+\csitem{finentrypunct}
+The punctuation printed at the very end of every bibliography entry, usually a period. The default definition is a period.
+
+\csitem{entrysetpunct}
+The punctuation printed between bibliography subentries of an entry set. The default definition is a semicolon and a space.
+
+\csitem{bibnamedelima}
+This delimiter controls the spacing between the elements which make up a name part. It is inserted automatically by the backend after the first name element if the element is less than three characters long and before the last element. The default definition is \cmd{addhighpenspace}, \ie a space penalized by the value of the \cnt{highnamepenalty} counter (\secref{use:fmt:len}). Please refer to \secref{use:cav:nam} for further details.
+
+\csitem{bibnamedelimb}
+This delimiter controls the spacing between the elements which make up a name part. It is inserted automatically by the backend between all name elements where \cmd{bibnamedelima} does not apply. The default definition is \cmd{addlowpenspace}, \ie a space penalized by the value of the \cnt{lownamepenalty} counter (\secref{use:fmt:len}). Please refer to \secref{use:cav:nam} for further details.
+
+\csitem{bibnamedelimc}
+This delimiter controls the spacing between name parts. The default name formats use it between the name prefix and the family name if \kvopt{useprefix}{true}. The default definition is \cmd{addhighpenspace}, \ie a space penalized by the value of the \cnt{highnamepenalty} counter (\secref{use:fmt:len}). Please refer to \secref{use:cav:nam} for further details.
+
+\csitem{bibnamedelimd}
+This delimiter controls the spacing between name parts. The default name formats use it between all name parts where \cmd{bibnamedelimc} does not apply. The default definition is \cmd{addlowpenspace}, \ie a space penalized by the value of the \cnt{lownamepenalty} counter (\secref{use:fmt:len}). Please refer to \secref{use:cav:nam} for further details.
+
+\csitem{bibnamedelimi}
+This delimiter replaces \cmd{bibnamedelima/b} after initials. Note that this only applies to initials given as such in the \file{bib} file, not to the initials automatically generated by \biblatex which use their own set of delimiters.
+
+\csitem{bibinitperiod}
+The punctuation inserted automatically by the backend after all initials unless \cmd{bibinithyphendelim} applies. The default definition is a period (\cmd{adddot}). Please refer to \secref{use:cav:nam} for further details.
+
+\csitem{bibinitdelim}
+The spacing inserted automatically by the backend between multiple initials unless \cmd{bibinithyphendelim} applies. The default definition is an unbreakable interword space. Please refer to \secref{use:cav:nam} for further details.
+
+\csitem{bibinithyphendelim}
+The punctuation inserted automatically by the backend between the initials of hyphenated name parts, replacing \cmd{bibinitperiod} and \cmd{bibinitdelim}. The default definition is a period followed by an unbreakable hyphen. Please refer to \secref{use:cav:nam} for further details.
+
+\csitem{bibindexnamedelima}
+Replaces \cmd{bibnamedelima} in the index.
+
+\csitem{bibindexnamedelimb}
+Replaces \cmd{bibnamedelimb} in the index.
+
+\csitem{bibindexnamedelimc}
+Replaces \cmd{bibnamedelimc} in the index.
+
+\csitem{bibindexnamedelimd}
+Replaces \cmd{bibnamedelimd} in the index.
+
+\csitem{bibindexnamedelimi}
+Replaces \cmd{bibnamedelimi} in the index.
+
+\csitem{bibindexinitperiod}
+Replaces \cmd{bibinitperiod} in the index.
+
+\csitem{bibindexinitdelim}
+Replaces \cmd{bibinitdelim} in the index.
+
+\csitem{bibindexinithyphendelim}
+Replaces \cmd{bibinithyphendelim} in the index.
+
+\csitem{revsdnamepunct}
+The punctuation to be printed between the given and family name parts when a name is reversed. The default is a comma. Here is an example showing a name with the default comma as \cmd{revsdnamedelim}:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+Jones<<,>> Edward
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+This command should be used with \cmd{bibnamedelimd} as a reversed-name separator in formatting directives for name lists. Please refer to \secref{use:cav:nam} for further details.
+
+\csitem{bibnamedash}
+The dash to be used as a replacement for recurrent authors or editors in the bibliography. The default is an <em> or an <en> dash, depending on the indentation of the list of references.
+
+\csitem{labelnamepunct}\DeprecatedMark
+A separator to be printed after the name used for alphabetizing in the bibliography (\bibfield{author} or \bibfield{editor}, if the \bibfield{author} field is undefined) instead of \cmd{newunitpunct}. The default is \cmd{newunitpunct}, \ie it is not handled differently from regular unit punctuation but permits convenient reconfiguration. This punctuation command is deprecated and has been superseded by the context-sensitive \cmd{nametitledelim} (see \secref{use:fmt:csd}). For backwards compatibility reasons, however, \cmd{nametitledelim} still defaults to \cmd{labelnamepunct} in the \texttt{bib} and \texttt{biblist} contexts. Style authors may want to consider replacing \cmd{labelnampunct} with \texttt{\textbackslash printdelim\{nametitledelim\}} and users may want to prefer modifying the context-sensitive \texttt{nametitledelim} in the \texttt{bib} context with \cmd{DeclareDelimFormat} over redefining \cmd{labelnamepunct}, \eg
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareDelimFormat[bib]{nametitledelim}{%
+ \addcolon\space}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\csitem{subtitlepunct}
+The separator printed between the fields \bibfield{title} and \bibfield{subtitle}, \bibfield{booktitle} and \bibfield{booksubtitle}, as well as \bibfield{maintitle} and \bibfield{mainsubtitle}. With the default styles, this separator replaces \cmd{newunitpunct} at this location. The default definition is \cmd{newunitpunct}, \ie it is not handled differently from regular unit punctuation.
+
+\csitem{intitlepunct}
+The separator between the word «in» and the following title in entry types such as \bibtype{article}, \bibtype{inbook}, \bibtype{incollection}, etc. The default definition is a colon plus an interword space (\eg «Article, in: \emph{Journal}» or «Title, in: \emph{Book}»). Note that this is the separator string, not only the punctuation mark. If you don't want a colon after «in», \cmd{intitlepunct} should still insert a space.
+
+\csitem{bibpagespunct}
+The separator printed before the \bibfield{pages} field. The default is a comma plus an interword space.
+
+\csitem{bibpagerefpunct}
+The separator printed before the \bibfield{pageref} field. The default is an interword space.
+
+\csitem{bibeidpunct}
+The separator printed before the \bibfield{eid} field (similar to \cmd{bibpagespunct}). The default is a comma plus an interword space.
+
+\csitem{multinamedelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed between multiple items in a name list like \bibfield{author} or \bibfield{editor} if there are more than two names in the list. The default is a comma plus an interword space. See \cmd{finalnamedelim} for an example.\footnote{Note that \cmd{multinamedelim} is not used at all if there are only two names in the list. In this case, the default styles use the \cmd{finalnamedelim}.}
+
+\csitem{finalnamedelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed instead of \cmd{multinamedelim} before the final name in a name list. The default is the localised term <and>, separated by interword spaces. Here is an example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+Michel Goossens<<,>> Frank Mittelbach <<and>> Alexander Samarin
+Edward Jones <<and>> Joe Williams
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The comma in the first example is the \cmd{multinamedelim} whereas the string <and> in both examples is the \cmd{finalnamedelim}. See also \cmd{finalandcomma} in \secref{use:fmt:lng}.
+
+\csitem{revsdnamedelim}\CSdelimMark
+An extra delimiter printed after the first name in a name list if the first name is reversed (only in lists with two names). The default is an empty string, \ie no extra delimiter will be printed. Here is an example showing a name list with a comma as \cmd{revsdnamedelim}:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+Jones, Edward<<, and>> Joe Williams
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+In this example, the comma after <Edward> is the \cmd{revsdnamedelim} whereas the string <and> is the \cmd{finalnamedelim}, printed in addition to the former.
+
+\csitem{andothersdelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed before the localisation string <\texttt{andothers}> if a name list like \bibfield{author} or \bibfield{editor} is truncated. The default is an interword space.
+
+\csitem{multilistdelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed between multiple items in a literal list like \bibfield{publisher} or \bibfield{location} if there are more than two items in the list. The default is a comma plus an interword space. See \cmd{multinamedelim} for further explanation.
+
+\csitem{finallistdelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed instead of \cmd{multilistdelim} before the final item in a literal list. The default is the localised term <and>, separated by interword spaces. See \cmd{finalnamedelim} for further explanation.
+
+\csitem{andmoredelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed before the localisation string <\texttt{andmore}> if a literal list like \bibfield{publisher} or \bibfield{location} is truncated. The default is an interword space.
+
+\csitem{multicitedelim}
+The delimiter printed between citations if multiple entry keys are passed to a single citation command. The default is a semicolon plus an interword space.
+
+\csitem{multiciterangedelim}
+The delimiter printed between two citations if they are compressed to a range. The default is \cmd{bibrangedash}.
+
+\csitem{multicitesubentrydelim}
+The delimiter printed between subentry citations of the same set. This delimiter is only used in citation styles that reduce citations of the same set to a more compact form (\opt{subentry} of \texttt{numeric-comp}). The default is a comma.
+
+\csitem{multicitesubentryrangedelim}
+The delimiter printed between two citations of the same set if they are compressed to a range. The default is \cmd{multiciterangedelim}.
+
+\csitem{supercitedelim}
+Similar to \cmd{multicitedelim}, but used by the \cmd{supercite} command only. The default is a comma.
+
+\csitem{superciterangedelim}
+Analogue of \cmd{multiciterangedelim} for \cmd{supercite}. The default is \cmd{bibrangedash}.
+
+\csitem{supercitesubentrydelim}
+Analogue of \cmd{multicitesubentrydelim} for \cmd{supercite}. The default is \cmd{supercitedelim}.
+
+\csitem{supercitesubentryrangedelim}
+Analogue of \cmd{multicitesubentryrangedelim} for \cmd{supercite}. The default is \cmd{superciterangedelim}.
+
+\csitem{compcitedelim}
+Similar to \cmd{multicitedelim}, but used by certain citation styles when <compressing> multiple citations. The default definition is a comma plus an interword space.
+
+\csitem{textcitedelim}
+Similar to \cmd{multicitedelim}, but used by \cmd{textcite} and related commands (\secref{use:cit:cbx}). The default is a comma plus an interword space. The standard styles modify this provisional definition to ensure that the delimiter before the final citation is the localised term <and>, separated by interword spaces. See also \cmd{finalandcomma} and \cmd{finalandsemicolon} in \secref{use:fmt:lng}.
+
+\csitem{nametitledelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed between the author\slash editor and the title by author-title and some verbose citation styles and in the bibliography. In author-year bibliography styles this delimiter is placed after the author\slash editor and year and before the title. The default definition inside bibliographies is the now deprecated \cmd{labelnamepunct} and is a comma plus an interword space otherwise.
+
+\csitem{nameyeardelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed between the author\slash editor and the year by author-year citation and bibliography styles. The default definition is an interword space.
+
+\csitem{namelabeldelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed between the name\slash title and the label by alphabetic and numeric citation styles. The default definition is an interword space.
+
+\csitem{nonameyeardelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed between the substitute for the labelname when it does not exist (usually the label or title in standard styles) and the year in author-year citation and bibliography styles. This is only used when there is no labelname since when the labelname exists, \cmd{nameyeardelim} is used. The default definition is an interword space.
+
+\csitem{authortypedelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed between the author and the \texttt{authortype}. The default is a comma followed by a space.
+
+\csitem{editortypedelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed between the editor and the \texttt{editor} or \texttt{editortype} string. The default is a comma followed by a space.
+
+\csitem{translatortypedelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed between the translator and the \texttt{translator} string. The default is a comma followed by a space.
+
+\csitem{labelalphaothers}
+A string to be appended to the non"=numeric portion of the \bibfield{labelalpha} field (\ie the field holding the citation label used by alphabetic citation styles) if the number of authors\slash editors exceeds the \opt{maxalphanames} threshold or the \bibfield{author}\slash \bibfield{editor} list was truncated in the \file{bib} file with the keyword <\texttt{and others}>. This will typically be a single character such as a plus sign or an asterisk. The default is a plus sign. This command may also be redefined to an empty string to disable this feature. In any case, it must be redefined in the preamble.
+
+\csitem{sortalphaothers}
+Similar to \cmd{labelalphaothers} but used in the sorting process. Setting it to a different value is advisable if the latter contains formatting commands, for example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\renewcommand*{\labelalphaothers}{\textbf{+}}
+\renewcommand*{\sortalphaothers}{+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+If \cmd{sortalphaothers} is not redefined, it defaults to \cmd{labelalphaothers}.
+
+\csitem{volcitedelim}
+The delimiter printed between the volume portion and the page/text portion of \cmd{volcite} and related commands (\secref{use:cit:spc}).
+
+\cmditem{mkvolcitenote}{volume}{pages}
+
+This macro formats the \prm{volume} and \prm{pages} arguments of \cmd{volcite} and related commands (\secref{use:cit:spc}) when they are passed on to the underlying citation command.
+
+\csitem{prenotedelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed after the \prm{prenote} argument of a citation command. See \secref{use:cit} for details. The default is an interword space.
+
+\csitem{postnotedelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed before the \prm{postnote} argument of a citation command. See \secref{use:cit} for details. The default is a comma plus an interword space.
+
+\csitem{extpostnotedelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed between the citation and the parenthetical \prm{postnote} argument of a citation command when the postnote occurs outside of the citation parentheses. In the standard styles, this occurs when the citation uses the shorthand field of the entry. See \secref{use:cit} for details. The default is an interword space.
+
+\csitem{multiprenotedelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed after the \prm{multiprenote} argument of a citation command. See \secref{use:cit} for details. The default is \cs{prenotedelim}.
+
+\csitem{multipostnotedelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed before the \prm{multipostnote} argument of a citation command. See \secref{use:cit} for details. The default is \cs{postnotedelim}.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibname<namepart>}{text}
+This command, which takes one argument, is used to format the name part <namepart> of name list fields. The default datamodel defines the name parts <family>, <given>, <prefix> and <suffix> and therefore the following macros are automatically defined:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\mkbibnamefamily
+\mkbibnamegiven
+\mkbibnameprefix
+\mkbibnamesuffix
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+For backwards compatibility with the legacy \bibtex name parts, the following are also defined, will generate warnings and will set the correct macro:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\mkbibnamelast
+\mkbibnamefirst
+\mkbibnameaffix
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{mkbibcompletenamefamily}{text}
+This command, which takes one argument, is used to format the complete name in \texttt{family} format order.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibcompletenamefamilygiven}{text}
+This command, which takes one argument, is used to format the complete name in \texttt{family-given} format order.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibcompletenamegivenfamily}{text}
+This command, which takes one argument, is used to format the complete name in \texttt{given-family} format order.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibcompletename}{text}
+The initial value of all default formatting hooks \cmd{mkbibcompletename<formatorder>}.
+
+\csitem{datecircadelim}\CSdelimMark
+When formatting dates with the global option \opt{datecirca} enabled, the delimiter printed after any localised <circa> term. Defaults to interword space.
+
+\csitem{dateeradelim}\CSdelimMark
+When formatting dates with the global option \opt{dateera} set, the delimiter printed before the localisation era term. Defaults to interword space.
+
+\csitem{dateuncertainprint}
+Prints date uncertainty information when the global option \opt{dateuncertain} is enabled and the \cmd{ifdateuncertain} test is true. By default, prints the language specific \cmd{bibdateuncertain} string (\secref{use:fmt:lng}).
+
+\csitem{enddateuncertainprint}
+Prints date uncertainty information when the global option \opt{dateuncertain} is enabled and the \cmd{ifenddateuncertain} test is true. By default, prints the language specific \cmd{bibdateuncertain} string (\secref{use:fmt:lng}).
+
+\csitem{datecircaprint}
+Prints date circa information when the global option \opt{datecirca} is enabled and the \cmd{ifdatecirca} test is true. By default, prints the <circa> localised term (\secref{aut:lng:key:dt}) and the \opt{datecircadelim} delimiter.
+
+\csitem{enddatecircaprint}
+Prints date circa information when the global option \opt{datecirca} is enabled and the \cmd{ifenddatecirca} test is true. By default, prints the <circa> localised term (\secref{aut:lng:key:dt}) and the \opt{datecircadelim} delimiter.
+
+\csitem{datecircaprintiso}
+Prints \acr{ISO8601-2} format date circa information when the global option \opt{datecirca} is enabled and the \cmd{ifdatecirca} test is true. Prints \cmd{textasciitilde}.
+
+\csitem{enddatecircaprintiso}
+Prints \acr{ISO8601-2} format date circa information when the global option \opt{datecirca} is enabled and the \cmd{ifenddatecirca} test is true. Prints \cmd{textasciitilde}.
+
+\cmditem{dateeraprint}{yearfield}
+Prints date era information when the global option \opt{dateera} is set to <secular> or <christian>. By default, prints the \opt{dateeradelim} delimiter and the appropriate localised era term (\secref{aut:lng:key:dt}). If the \opt{dateeraauto} option is set, then the passed \prm{yearfield} (which is the name of a year field such as <year>, <origyear>, <endeventyear> etc.) is tested to see if its value is earlier than the \opt{dateeraauto} threshold and if so, then the BCE/CE localisation will be output too. The default setting for \opt{dateeraauto} is 0 and so only BCE/BC localisation strings are candidates for output. Detects whether the start or end year era information is to be printed by looking at the \prm{yearfield} name passed to it.
+
+\csitem{dateeraprintpre}
+Prints date era information when the global option \opt{dateera} is set to <astronomical>. By default, prints \opt{bibdataeraprefix}. Detects whether the start or end year era information is to be printed by looking at the \prm{yearfield} name passed to it.
+
+\csitem{relatedpunct}
+The separator between the \bibfield{relatedtype} bibliography localisation string and the data from the first related entry. Here is an example with \cmd{relatedpunct} set to a dash:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+A. Smith. Title. 2000, (Orig. pub. as<<->>Origtitle)
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\csitem{relateddelim}
+The generic separator between the data of multiple related entries. The default definition is an optional dot plus linebreak. Here is an example where volumes A-E are related entries of the 5 volume main work:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+Donald E. Knuth. Computers & Typesetting. 5 vols. Reading, Mass.: Addison-Wesley, 1984-1986.
+Vol. A: The TEXbook. 1984.
+Vol. B: TEX: The Program. 1986.
+Vol. C: The METAFONTbook. By. 1986.
+Vol. D: METAFONT: The Program. 1986.
+Vol. E: Computer Modern Typefaces. 1986.
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\csitem{relateddelim$<$relatedtype$>$}
+The separator between the data of multiple related entries inside related entries of type <relatedtype>. There is no default, if such a type-specific delimiter does not exist, \cmd{relateddelim} is used.
+
+\csitem{begrelateddelim}
+The generic separator before the block of related entries. The default definition is \cmd{newunitpunct}.
+
+\csitem{begrelateddelim$<$relatedtype$>$}
+The separator between the block of related entries of type <relatedtype>. There is no default, if such a type-specific delimiter does not exist, \cmd{relateddelim} is used.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Context-sensitive Delimiters}
+\label{use:fmt:csd}
+Many delimiters described in \secref{use:fmt:fmt} are globally defined. That is, no matter where you use them, they print the same thing. This is not necessarily desirable for delimiters which you might want to print different things in different contexts. Here <context> means things like <inside a text citation> or <inside a bibliography item>. For this reason, \biblatex\ provides a more sophisticated delimiter specification and user interface alongside the standard one based on normal macros defined with \cmd{newcommand}.
+
+ For backwards compatibility reasons all context-sensitive delimiters (\ie all delimiters marked as <context sensitive> in \secref{use:fmt:fmt}) can be redefined with \cmd{renewcommand} in the global context. It is, however, strongly recommended to use the interface documented below (primarily \cmd{DeclareDelimFormat}) to redefine these delimiters---even if \cmd{renewcommand} would suffice for the job at hand.
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareDelimFormat}[context, \dots]{name}{code}
+\cmditem*{DeclareDelimFormat}*[context, \dots]{name}{code}
+
+Declares the delimiter macro \prm{name} with the replacement text \prm{code}. If the optional comma"=separated list of \prm{contexts} is given, declare \prm{name} only for those contexts. \prm{name} defined without any \prm{contexts} behaves just like the global delimiter definitions which \cmd{newcommand} gives---just a plain macro with a replacement which can be used as \cmd{name}. However, you can also call delimiter macros defined in this way by using \cmd{printdelim}, which is context-aware. The starred version clears all \prm{context} specific declarations for all \prm{names} first.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareDelimAlias}[alias context, \dots]{alias}[delim context]{delim}
+
+Declares \prm{alias} to be an alias for the delimiter \prm{delim}. If the optional \prm{alias context, \dots} nor \prm{delim context} are given, the assigment is performed for all existing contexts of the target \prm{delim} separately, so that \prm{alias} becomes an exact copy of \prm{delim} in all contexts. If only the second optional argument \prm{delim context} is given, all existing contexts of \prm{alias} will be cleared and the global/empty context becomes an alias of \prm{delim} in the context \prm{delim context}. The first optional argument \prm{alias context, \dots} may hold a list of contexts for which the alias is assigned. In that case the second optional argument \prm{delim context} specifies the context of the target delimiter. This argument may not be a list, it can only hold one context. If it is missing, the \prm{alias context} is assumed (if \prm{alias context} is a list, the assignment is performed separately for each list item), if it is empty the global context is used.
+
+
+\begin{ltxexample}[style=latex]
+\DeclareDelimAlias[bib,biblist]{finalnamedelim}[]{multinamedelim}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Defines the \opt{bib} and \opt{biblist} contexts of \cmd{finalnamedelim} as aliases of \cmd{multinamedelim} in global context.
+On the other hand
+\begin{ltxexample}[style=latex]
+\DeclareDelimAlias[bib,biblist]{finalnamedelim}{multinamedelim}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+defines \cmd{finalnamedelim} in the context \opt{bib} to be an alias of \cmd{multinamedelim} in the \opt{bib} context and defines \cmd{finalnamedelim} in \opt{biblist} context to be an alias of \cmd{multinamedelim} in \opt{biblist}.
+
+\cmditem*{DeclareDelimAlias}*[alias context, \dots]{alias}[delim context]{delim}\DeprecatedMark
+
+The starred version of \cmd{DeclareDelimAlias} is deprecated in favour of using unstarred \cmd{DeclareDelimAlias} with optional arguments.
+
+It assigns the delimiter alias for specific contexts only. The first optional argument \prm{alias context} holds a list of contexts for which the assignment is going to be performed. If it is empty or missing the global/empty context is assumed. The second optional argument \prm{delim context} specifies the context of the target delimiter. This argument may not be a list, it can only hold one context. If it is missing the \prm{alias context} is assumed (if \prm{alias context} is a list, the assignment is performed separately for each list item), if it is empty the global context is used.
+
+\cmditem{printdelim}[context]{name}
+
+Prints a delimiter with name \prm{name}, locally establishing a optional \prm{context} first. Without the optional \prm{context}, \cmd{printdelim} uses the currently active delimiter context.
+
+Delimiter contexts are simply a string, the value of the internal macro \cmd{blx at delimcontext} which can be set manually by the command \cmd{delimcontext}
+
+\cmditem{delimcontext}{context}
+
+Set the delimiter context to \prm{context}. This setting is not global so that delimiter contexts can be nested using the usual \latex group method.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareDelimcontextAlias}{alias}{name}
+
+The context-sensitive delimiter system creates delimiter contexts based on
+the name of citation commands (<parencite>, <textcite> etc.) passed to
+\cmd{DeclareCiteCommand}. In certain cases where there are nested
+definitions of citation commands where \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand} calls
+itself (see the definition of \cmd{textcite} in \sty{authoryear-icomp}
+for example). The delimiter context is then usually incorrect and the
+delimiter specifications do not work. For example, the definition of
+\cmd{textcite} in fact defines and uses \cmd{cbx at textcite} and so the
+context is automatically set to \opt{cbx at textcite} when printing the
+citation. Delimiter definitions expecting to see the context \opt{textcite}
+therefore do not work. Therefore this command is provided for style authors
+which aliases the context \prm{alias} to the context \prm{name}. For
+example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}[style=latex]
+\DeclareDelimcontextAlias{cbx at textcite}{textcite}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This (which is a default setting), makes sure that when inside the
+\cmd{cbx at textcite} citation command, the context is in fact \opt{textcite}
+as expected.
+
+\cmditem{UndeclareDelimcontextAlias}{alias}
+
+Removes the delimiter context alias declared for \prm{alias}.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+%
+\biblatex\ has several default contexts which are established automatically in various places:
+
+\begin{description}
+\item[none] At begin document
+\item[bib] Inside a bibliography begun with \cmd{printbibliography} or inside a \cmd{usedriver}
+\item[biblist] Inside a bibliography list begun with \cmd{printbiblist}
+\item[<citecommand>] Inside a citation command \cmd{citecommand} defined with \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand}
+\end{description}
+
+For example, the defaults for \cmd{nametitledelim} are:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}[style=latex]
+\DeclareDelimFormat{nametitledelim}{\addcomma\space}
+\DeclareDelimFormat[bib,biblist]{nametitledelim}{\labelnamepunct}
+\DeclareDelimFormat[textcite]{nametitledelim}{\addspace}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This means that \cmd{nametitledelim} is defined globally as <\cmd{addcomma}\cmd{space}> as per the standard delimiter interface. However, in addition, the delimiter can be printed using \cmd{printdelim} which would print the same as \cmd{nametitledelim} apart from inside a \cmd{textcite}, in which it would print \cmd{addspace} which is more suitable for running text, and in a bibliography (list) in which it takes the value of \cmd{labelnamepunct} for compatibility reasons. If desired, a context can be forced with the optional argument to \cmd{printdelim}, so
+
+\begin{ltxexample}[style=latex]
+\printdelim[textcite]{nametitledelim}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+would print \cmd{addspace} regardless of the surrounding context of the \cmd{printdelim}. Contexts are just arbitrary strings and so you can establish them at any time, using \cmd{delimcontext}. If \cmd{printdelim} finds no special value for the delimiter \prm{name} in the current context, it simply prints \cmd{name}. This means that style authors can use \cmd{printdelim} and users expecting to be able to use \cmd{renewcommand} to redefine delimiters can do so with one caveat---such a definition won't change any context-specific delimiters which are defined:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}[style=latex]
+\DeclareDelimFormat{delima}{X}
+\DeclareDelimFormat[textcite]{delima}{Y}
+\renewcommand*{\delima}{Z}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Here, \cmd{delima} always prints <Z>. \verb+\printdelim{delima}+ in any context other than <textcite> also prints \cmd{delima} and hence <Z> but in a <textcite> context prints <Y>. See the \file{04-delimiters.tex} example file that comes with \biblatex\ for more information.
+
+\subsubsection{Language-specific Commands}
+\label{use:fmt:lng}
+
+The commands in this section are language specific. When redefining them, you need to wrap the new definition in a \cmd{DeclareBibliographyExtras} command (in an \file{.lbx} file) or a \cmd{DefineBibliographyExtras} command (user documents), see \secref{use:lng} for details. Note that all commands starting with \cmd{mk\dots} take one or more arguments.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\csitem{bibrangedash}
+
+The language specific dash to be used for ranges of numbers. Defaults to \cmd{textendash}.
+
+\csitem{bibrangessep}
+
+The language specific separator to be used between multiple ranges. Defaults to a comma followed by a space.
+
+\csitem{bibdatesep}
+
+The language specific separator used between date components in terse date formats. Defaults to \cmd{hyphen}.
+
+\csitem{bibdaterangesep}
+
+The language specific separator to be used for date ranges. Defaults to \cmd{textendash} for all date formats apart from \opt{ymd} which defaults to a \cmd{slash}. The date format option \opt{iso} is hard-coded to \cmd{slash} since this is a standards compliant format.
+
+\csitem{mkbibdatelong}
+
+Takes the names of three field as arguments which correspond to three date components (in the order year\slash month\slash day) and uses their values to print the date in the language specific long date format.
+
+\csitem{mkbibdateshort}
+
+Similar to \cmd{mkbibdatelong} but using the language specific short date format.
+
+\csitem{mkbibtimezone}
+
+Modifies a timezone string passed in as the only argument. By default this changes <Z> to the value of \cmd{bibtimezone}.
+
+\csitem{bibdateuncertain}
+
+The language specific marker to be used after uncertain dates when the global option \opt{dateuncertain} is enabled. Defaults to a space followed by a question mark.
+
+\csitem{bibdateeraprefix}
+
+The language specific marker which is printed as a prefix to beginning BCE/BC dates in a date range when the option \opt{dateera} is set to <astronomical>. Defaults to \cmd{textminus}, if defined and \cmd{textendash} otherwise.
+
+\csitem{bibdateeraendprefix}
+
+The language specific marker which is printed as a prefix to end BCE/BC dates in a date range when the option \opt{dateera} is set to <astronomical>. Defaults to a thin space followed by \cmd{bibdateeraprefix} when \cmd{bibdaterangesep} is set to a dash and to \cmd{bibdateeraprefix} otherwise. This is a separate macro so that you may add extra space before a negative date marker which, for example follows a dash date range marker as this can look a little odd.
+
+\csitem{bibtimesep}
+
+The language specific marker which separates time components. Defaults to a colon.
+
+\csitem{bibutctimezone}
+
+The language specific string printed for the UTC timezone. Defaults to <Z>.
+
+\csitem{bibtimezonesep}
+
+The language specific marker which separates an optional time zone component from a time. Empty by default.
+
+\csitem{bibtzminsep}
+
+The language specific marker which separates hour and minute component of offset timezones. Defaults to a \cmd{bibtimesep}.
+
+\csitem{bibdatetimesep}
+
+The language specific separator printed between date and time components when printing time components along with date components (see the \opt{$<$datetype$>$dateusetime} option in \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}). Defaults to a space for non-\acr{ISO8601-2} output formats, and 'T' for \acr{ISO8601-2} output format.
+
+\csitem{finalandcomma}
+
+Prints the comma to be inserted before the final <and> in a list, if applicable in the respective language. Here is an example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+Michel Goossens, Frank Mittelbach<<,>> and Alexander Samarin
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+\cmd{finalandcomma} is the comma before the word <and>. See also \cmd{multinamedelim}, \cmd{finalnamedelim}, \cmd{textcitedelim}, and \cmd{revsdnamedelim} in \secref{use:fmt:fmt}.
+
+\csitem{finalandsemicolon}
+
+Prints the semicolon to be inserted before the final <and> in a list of lists, if applicable in the respective language. Here is an example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+Goossens, Mittelbach, and Samarin; Bertram and Wenworth<<;>> and Knuth
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+\cmd{finalandsemicolon} is the semicolon before the word <and>. See also \cmd{textcitedelim} in \secref{use:fmt:fmt}.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibordinal}{integer}
+
+This command, which takes an integer as its argument, prints an ordinal number.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibmascord}{integer}
+
+Similar to \cmd{mkbibordinal}, but prints a masculine ordinal, if applicable in the respective language.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibfemord}{integer}
+
+Similar to \cmd{mkbibordinal}, but prints a feminine ordinal, if applicable in the respective language.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibneutord}{integer}
+
+Similar to \cmd{mkbibordinal}, but prints a neuter ordinal, if applicable in the respective language.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibordedition}{integer}
+
+Similar to \cmd{mkbibordinal}, but intended for use with the term <edition>.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibordseries}{integer}
+
+Similar to \cmd{mkbibordinal}, but intended for use with the term <series>.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Lengths and Counters}
+\label{use:fmt:len}
+
+The length registers and counters in this section may be changed in the document preamble with \cmd{setlength} and \cmd{setcounter}, respectively.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\lenitem{bibhang}
+
+The hanging indentation of the bibliography, if applicable. This length is initialized to \cmd{parindent} at load-time. If \cmd{parindent} is zero length for some reason, \cmd{bibhang} will default to \texttt{1em}.
+
+\lenitem{biblabelsep}
+
+The horizontal space between entries and their corresponding labels in the bibliography. This only applies to bibliography styles which print labels, such as the \texttt{numeric} and \texttt{alphabetic} styles. This length is initialized to twice the value of \cmd{labelsep} at load-time.
+
+\lenitem{bibitemsep}
+
+The vertical space between the individual entries in the bibliography. This length is initialized to \cmd{itemsep} at load-time. Note that \len{bibitemsep}, \len{bibnamesep}, and \len{bibinitsep} obey the rules for \cmd{addvspace}, that is, when vertical space introduced by any of these commands immediately follows on from space introduced by another of them, the resulting total space is equal to the largest of them.
+
+\lenitem{bibnamesep}
+
+Vertical space to be inserted between two entries in the bibliography whenever an entry starts with a name which is different from the initial name of the previous entry. The default value is zero. Setting this length to a positive value greater than \len{bibitemsep} will group the bibliography by author\slash editor name. Note that \len{bibitemsep}, \len{bibnamesep}, and \len{bibinitsep} obey the rules for \cmd{addvspace}, that is, when vertical space introduced by any of these commands immediately follows on from space introduced by another of them, the resulting total space is equal to the largest of them.
+
+\lenitem{bibinitsep}
+
+Vertical space to be inserted between two entries in the bibliography whenever an entry starts with a letter which is different from the initial letter of the previous entry. The default value is zero. Setting this length to a positive value greater than \len{bibitemsep} will group the bibliography alphabetically. Note that \len{bibitemsep}, \len{bibnamesep}, and \len{bibinitsep} obey the rules for \cmd{addvspace}, that is, when vertical space introduced by any of these commands immediately follows on from space introduced by another of them, the resulting total space is equal to the largest of them.
+
+\lenitem{bibparsep}
+
+The vertical space between paragraphs within an entry in the bibliography. The default value is zero.
+
+\cntitem{abbrvpenalty}
+
+This counter, which is used by the localisation modules, holds the penalty used in short or abbreviated localisation strings. For example, a linebreak in expressions such as «et al.» or «ed. by» is unfortunate, but should still be possible to prevent overfull boxes. This counter is initialized to \cmd{hyphenpenalty} at load-time. The idea is making \tex treat the whole expression as if it were a single, hyphenatable word as far as line"=breaking is concerned. If you dislike such linebreaks, use a higher value. If you do not mind them at all, set this counter to zero. If you want to suppress them unconditionally, set it to <infinite> (10\,000 or higher).\footnote{The default values assigned to \cnt{abbrvpenalty}, \cnt{lownamepenalty}, and \cnt{highnamepenalty} are deliberately very low to prevent overfull boxes. This implies that you will hardly notice any effect on line-breaking if the text is set justified. If you set these counters to 10\,000 to suppress the respective breakpoints, you will notice their effect but you may also be confronted with overfull boxes. Keep in mind that line-breaking in the bibliography is often more difficult than in the body text and that you can not resort to rephrasing a sentence. In some cases it may be preferable to set the entire bibliography \cmd{raggedright} to prevent suboptimal linebreaks. In this case, even the fairly low default penalties will make a visible difference.}
+
+\cntitem{highnamepenalty}
+
+This counter holds a penalty affecting line"=breaking in names. Please refer to \secref{use:cav:nam,use:fmt:fmt} for explanation. The counter is initialized to \cmd{hyphenpenalty} at load-time. Use a higher value if you dislike the respective linebreaks. If you do not mind them at all, set this counter to zero. If you prefer the traditional \bibtex behavior (no linebreaks at \cnt{highnamepenalty} breakpoints), set it to <infinite> (10\,000 or higher).
+
+\cntitem{lownamepenalty}
+
+Similar to \cnt{highnamepenalty}. Please refer to \secref{use:cav:nam,use:fmt:fmt} for explanation. The counter is initialized to half the \cmd{hyphenpenalty} at load-time. Use a higher value if you dislike the respective linebreaks. If you do not mind them at all, set this counter to zero.
+
+\cntitem{biburlnumpenalty}
+
+If this counter is set to a value greater than zero, \biblatex will permit linebreaks after numbers in all strings formatted with the \cmd{url} command from the \sty{url} package. This will affect \acr{url}s and \acr{doi}s in the bibliography. The breakpoints will be penalized by the value of this counter. If \acr{url}s and/or \acr{doi}s in the bibliography run into the margin, try setting this counter to a value greater than zero but less than 10000 (you normally want to use a high value like 9000). Setting the counter to zero disables this feature. This is the default setting.
+
+\cntitem{biburlucpenalty}
+
+Similar to \cnt{biburlnumpenalty}, except that it will add a breakpoint after all uppercase letters.
+
+\cntitem{biburllcpenalty}
+
+Similar to \cnt{biburlnumpenalty}, except that it will add a breakpoint after all lowercase letters.
+
+\cntitem{biburlbigbreakpenalty}
+
+The \sty{biblatex} version of \sty{url}'s \len{UrlBigBreakPenalty}. The default value is \texttt{100}.
+
+\cntitem{biburlbreakpenalty}
+
+The \sty{biblatex} version of \sty{url}'s \len{UrlBreakPenalty}. The default value is \texttt{200}.
+
+\lenitem{biburlbigskip}
+
+The \sty{biblatex} version of \len{Urlmuskip}. This length holds the additional (stretchable) space inserted around breakable characters in the \cmd{url} command from the \sty{url} package. The default value is \texttt{0mu plus 3mu}.
+
+\lenitem{biburlnumskip}
+
+The additional space inserted after numbers in strings formatted with the \cmd{url} command from the \sty{url} package. This will affect \acr{url}s and \acr{doi}s in the bibliography. If \acr{url}s and/or \acr{doi}s in the bibliography run into the margin, it may help to set this length to add some small stretchable space, for example \texttt{0mu plus 1mu}. The default setting is \texttt{0mu}. This value is only used if \cnt{biburlnumpenalty} is set to a value different from zero.
+
+\lenitem{biburlucskip}
+
+Similar to \cnt{biburlnumskip}, except that it will add space after all uppercase letters.
+
+\lenitem{biburllcskip}
+
+Similar to \cnt{biburlnumskip}, except that it will add space after all uppercase letters.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{All-purpose Commands}
+\label{use:fmt:aux}
+
+The commands in this section are all-purpose text commands which are generally available, not only in citations and the bibliography.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\csitem{bibellipsis}
+
+An ellipsis symbol with brackets: <[\dots\unkern]>.
+
+\csitem{noligature}
+
+Disables ligatures at this position and adds some space. Use this command to break up standard ligatures like <fi> and <fl>. It is similar to the \verb+"|+ shorthand provided by some language modules of the \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} packages.
+
+\csitem{hyphenate}
+
+A conditional hyphen. In contrast to the standard \cmd{-} command, this one allows hyphenation in the rest of the word. It is similar to the \verb|"-| shorthand provided by some language modules of the \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} packages.
+
+\csitem{hyphen}
+
+An explicit, breakable hyphen intended for compound words. In contrast to a literal <\texttt{-}>, this command allows hyphenation in the rest of the word. It is similar to the \verb|"=| shorthand provided by some language modules of the \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} packages.
+
+\csitem{nbhyphen}
+
+An explicit, non-breakable hyphen intended for compound words. In contrast to a literal <\texttt{-}>, this command does not permit line breaks at the hyphen but still allows hyphenation in the rest of the word. It is similar to the \verb|"~| shorthand provided by some language modules of the \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} packages.
+
+\csitem{nohyphenation}
+
+A generic switch which suppresses hyphenation locally. Its scope should normally be confined to a group. The command uses a language without hyphenation patterns to suppress hyphenation. The idea was taken from Peter Wilson's \sty{hyphenat} package. Note that this command should only be used for small portions of text and that its effects are negated if \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} is used to switch the language while it is active.
+
+\cmditem{textnohyphenation}{text}
+
+Similar to \cmd{nohyphenation} but restricted to the \prm{text} argument.
+
+\cmditem{mknumalph}{integer}
+
+Takes an integer in the range 1--702 as its argument and converts it to a string as follows: 1=a, \textellipsis, 26=z, 27=aa, \textellipsis, 702=zz. This is intended for use in formatting directives for the \bibfield{extradate}, \bibfield{extraname} and \bibfield{extraalpha} fields.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibacro}{text}
+
+Generic command which typesets an acronym using the small caps variant of the current font, if available, and as-is otherwise. The acronym should be given in uppercase letters.
+
+\cmditem{autocap}{character}
+
+Automatically converts the \prm{character} to its uppercase form if \biblatex's punctuation tracker would capitalize a localisation string at the current location. This command is robust. It is useful for conditional capitalization of certain strings in an entry. Note that the \prm{character} argument is a single character given in lowercase. For example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\autocap{s}pecial issue
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+will yield <Special issue> or <special issue>, as appropriate. If the string to be capitalized starts with an inflected character given in \acr{US-ASCII} notation, include the accent command in the \prm{character} argument as follows:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\autocap{\'e}dition sp\'eciale
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This will yield <Édition spéciale> or <édition spéciale>. If the string to be capitalized starts with a command which prints a character, such as \cmd{ae} or \cmd{oe}, simply put the command in the \prm{character} argument:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\autocap{\oe}uvres
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This will yield <Œuvres> or <œuvres>.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsection[Language notes]{Language-specific Notes}
+\label{use:loc}
+
+The facilities discussed in this section are specific to certain localisation modules.
+
+\subsubsection{American}
+\label{use:loc:us}
+
+The American localisation module uses \cmd{uspunctuation} from \secref{aut:pct:cfg} to enable <American-style> punctuation. If this feature is enabled, all trailing commas and periods after \cmd{mkbibquote} will be moved inside the quotes. If you want to disable this feature, use \cmd{stdpunctuation} as follows:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DefineBibliographyExtras{american}{%
+ \stdpunctuation
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+By default, the <American punctuation> feature is enabled by the \texttt{american} localisation module only. The above code is only required if you want American localisation without American punctuation. Since standard punctuation is the package default, it would be redundant with any other language.
+
+It is highly advisable to always specify \texttt{american}, \texttt{british}, \texttt{australian}, etc. rather than \texttt{english} when loading the \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} packages to avoid any possible confusion. Older versions of the \sty{babel} package used to treat \opt{english} as an alias for \opt{british}; more recent ones treat it as an alias for \opt{american}. The \biblatex package essentially treats \texttt{english} as an alias for \opt{american}, except for the above feature which is only enabled if \texttt{american} is requested explicitly.
+
+\subsubsection{Bulgarian}
+\label{use:loc:bul}
+
+Like the Greek localisation module, the Bulgarian module also requires \utf support. It will not work with any other encoding.
+
+\subsubsection{Greek}
+\label{use:loc:grk}
+
+The Greek localisation module requires \utf support. It will not work with any other encoding. Generally speaking, the \biblatex package is compatible with the \sty{inputenc} package and with the Unicode engines \lualatex and \xelatex. The \sty{ucs} package will not work. Note that you may need to load additional packages which set up Greek fonts. As a rule of thumb, a setup which works for regular Greek documents should also work with \biblatex. However, there is one fundamental limitation. As of this writing, \biblatex has no support for switching scripts. Greek titles in the bibliography should work fine, but English and other titles in the bibliography may be rendered in Greek letters. If you need multi-script bibliographies, using a Unicode engine is the only sensible choice.
+
+\subsubsection{Hungarian}
+\label{use:loc:hun}
+
+The Hungarian localisation module needs to redefine certain field formats to obtain the grammatically correct word order. This means that these field formats are overwritten whenever the Hungarian localisation is active, no matter whether they were defined in the preamble or by a custom style. So please be aware that using the Hungarian localisation module may cause the bibliography output to deviate from the format dictated by the loaded style and preamble definitions. Changes to this behaviour need to be made using \cmd{DefineBibliographyExtras}. In particular \cmd{mkpageprefix} is redefined to output the <page> or <pages> string as a suffix after the page number following Hungarian conventions, and all formats of fields involving pages, chapters and volumes were modified so that numbers are printed as ordinals.
+
+\subsubsection{Latvian}
+\label{use:loc:lav}
+
+The Latvian localisation module, like the Hungarian language module, needs to redefine certain field formats to obtain the grammatically correct word order. This means that these field formats are overwritten whenever the Latvian localisation is active, no matter whether they were defined in the preamble or by a custom style. So please be aware that using the Latvian localisation module may cause the bibliography output to deviate from the format dictated by the loaded style and preamble definitions. Changes to this behaviour need to be made using \cmd{DefineBibliographyExtras}. In particular \cmd{mkpageprefix} is redefined to output the <page> or <pages> string as a suffix after the page number following Latvian conventions, and all formats of fields involving pages, chapters and volumes were modified so that numbers are printed as ordinals.
+
+\subsubsection{Lithuanian}
+\label{use:loc:lit}
+
+The Lithuanian localisation module needs \utf support and will only work with this encoding.
+
+\subsubsection{Marathi}
+\label{use:loc:mar}
+
+The Marathi localisation module needs \utf support and will only work with this encoding, but users typesetting significant portions of Marathi will probably be using a Unicode engine anyway.
+
+Like the Hungarian language module, the Marathi localisation needs to redefine certain field formats and internal formatting macros to obtain acceptable output. This means that these field formats are overwritten whenever the Marathi localisation is active, no matter whether they were defined in the preamble or by a custom style. So please be aware that using the Marathi localisation module may cause the bibliography output to deviate from the format dictated by the loaded style and preamble definitions. Changes to this behaviour need to be made using \cmd{DefineBibliographyExtras}.
+
+There is some limited support for numeric operations with non-\acr{US-ASCII} Devanagari numerals. Due to the limitations of arithmetic operations to \acr{US-ASCII} numerals and backwards compatibility reasons additional work may be needed to support Devanagari numerals in places where they do not work at the moment.
+
+\subsubsection{Romanian}
+\label{use:loc:ron}
+
+The Romanian localisation module needs \utf support and will only work with this encoding.
+
+Like the Hungarian and Latvian localisation modules, the Romanian \file{lbx} file applies some changes to macros that are usually not affected by localisation. \cmd{newunitpunct} is set to produce a comma followed by a space. \cmd{intitlepunct} only produces a space.
+
+\subsubsection{Russian}
+\label{use:loc:rus}
+
+Like the Greek and Lithuanian localisation module, the Russian module also requires \utf support. It will not work with any other encoding.
+
+\subsubsection{Spanish}
+\label{use:loc:esp}
+
+Handling the word <and> is more difficult in Spanish than in the other languages supported by this package because it may be <y> or <e>, depending on the initial sound of the following word. Therefore, the Spanish localisation module does not use the localisation string <\texttt{and}> but a special internal <smart and> command. The behavior of this command is controlled by the \cnt{smartand} counter.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cntitem{smartand}
+
+This counter controls the behavior of the internal <smart and> command. When set to 1, it prints <y> or <e>, depending on the context. When set to 2, it always prints <y>. When set to 3, it always prints <e>. When set to 0, the <smart and> feature is disabled. This counter is initialized to 1 at load-time and may be changed in the preamble. Note that setting this counter to a positive value implies that the Spanish localisation module ignores \cmd{finalnamedelim} and \cmd{finallistdelim}.
+
+\csitem{forceE}
+
+Use this command in \file{bib} files if \biblatex gets the <and> before a certain name wrong. As its name suggests, it will enforce <e>. This command must be used in a special way to be correct \bibtex datafile format. Here is an example:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+author = {Edward Jones and Eoin Maguire},
+author = {Edward Jones and <<{\forceE{E}}>>oin Maguire},
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Note that the initial letter of the respective name component is given as an argument to \cmd{forceE} and that the entire construct is wrapped in an additional pair of curly braces.
+
+\csitem{forceY}
+
+Similar to \cmd{forceE} but enforces <y>.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Turkish}
+\label{use:loc:tur}
+
+By default \sty{babel}'s Turkish localisation module makes <\texttt{=}> a <shorthand>, which breaks the \keyval parser uses by \biblatex. This problem can be resolved by telling \sty{babel} not to make <\texttt{=}> a shorthand (for example by loading \sty{babel} with the option \texttt{shorthands=:!}) or by loading a \keyval package that can deal with active characters (\sty{kvsetkeys} and \sty{xkeyval})\fnurl{https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/160428/35864}.
+
+
+\subsection{Usage Notes}
+\label{use:use}
+
+The following sections give a basic overview of the \biblatex package and discuss some typical usage scenarios.
+
+\subsubsection{Overview}
+\label{use:use:int}
+
+Using the \biblatex package is slightly different from using traditional \bibtex styles and related packages. Before we get to specific usage scenarios, we will therefore have a look at the structure of a typical document first:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\documentclass{...}
+\usepackage[...]{biblatex}
+<<\addbibresource>>{<<bibfile.bib>>}
+\begin{document}
+<<\cite>>{...}
+...
+<<\printbibliography>>
+\end{document}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+With traditional \bibtex, the \cmd{bibliography} command serves two purposes. It marks the location of the bibliography and it also specifies the \file{bib} file(s). The file extension is omitted. With \biblatex, resources are specified in the preamble with \cmd{addbibresource} using the full name with \file{.bib} suffix. The bibliography is printed using the \cmd{printbibliography} command which may be used multiple times (see \secref{use:bib} for details). The document body may contain any number of citation commands (\secref{use:cit}). Processing this example file requires that a certain procedure be followed. Suppose our example file is called \path{example.tex} and our bibliographic data is in \path{bibfile.bib}. The procedure, then, is as follows:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+
+\item Run \bin{latex} on \path{example.tex}. If the file contains any citations, \biblatex will request the respective data from \biber by writing commands to the auxiliary file \path{example.bcf}.
+\item Run \bin{biber} on \path{example.bcf}. \biber will retrieve the data from \path{bibfile.bib} and write it to the auxiliary file \path{example.bbl} in a format which can be processed by \biblatex.
+\item Run \bin{latex} on \path{example.tex}. \biblatex will read the data from \path{example.bbl} and print all citations as well as the bibliography.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsubsection{Auxiliary Files}
+\label{use:use:aux}
+
+The \biblatex package uses one auxiliary \file{bcf} file only. Even if there are citation commands in a file included via \cmd{include}, you only need to run \biber on the main \file{bcf} file. All information \biber needs is in the \file{bcf} file, including information about all refsections if using multiple \env{refsection} environments (see \secref{use:use:mlt}).
+
+\subsubsection{Multiple Bibliographies}
+\label{use:use:mlt}
+
+In a collection of articles by different authors, such as a conference proceedings volume for example, it is very common to have one bibliography for each article rather than a global one for the entire book. In the example below, each article would be presented as a separate \cmd{chapter} with its own bibliography.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\documentclass{...}
+\usepackage{biblatex}
+\addbibresource{...}
+\begin{document}
+\chapter{...}
+<<\begin{refsection}>>
+...
+<<\printbibliography[heading=subbibliography]>>
+<<\end{refsection}>>
+\chapter{...}
+<<\begin{refsection}>>
+...
+<<\printbibliography[heading=subbibliography]>>
+<<\end{refsection}>>
+\end{document}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+If \cmd{printbibliography} is used inside a \env{refsection} environment, it automatically restricts the scope of the list of references to the enclosing \env{refsection} environment. For a cumulative bibliography which is subdivided by chapter but printed at the end of the book, use the \opt{section} option of \cmd{printbibliography} to select a reference section, as shown in the next example.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\documentclass{...}
+\usepackage{biblatex}
+<<\defbibheading>>{<<subbibliography>>}{%
+ \section*{References for Chapter \ref{<<refsection:\therefsection>>}}}
+\addbibresource{...}
+\begin{document}
+\chapter{...}
+<<\begin{refsection}>>
+...
+<<\end{refsection}>>
+\chapter{...}
+<<\begin{refsection}>>
+...
+<<\end{refsection}>>
+\printbibheading
+<<\printbibliography>>[<<section=1>>,<<heading=subbibliography>>]
+<<\printbibliography>>[<<section=2>>,<<heading=subbibliography>>]
+\end{document}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Note the definition of the bibliography heading in the above example. This is the definition taking care of the subheadings in the bibliography. The main heading is generated with a plain \cmd{chapter} command in this case. The \biblatex package automatically sets a label at the beginning of every \env{refsection} environment, using the standard \cmd{label} command. The identifier used is the string \texttt{refsection:} followed by the number of the respective \env{refsection} environment. The number of the current section is accessible via the \cnt{refsection} counter. When using the \opt{section} option of \cmd{printbibliography}, this counter is also set locally. This means that you may use the counter in heading definitions to print subheadings like «References for Chapter 3», as shown above. You could also use the title of the respective chapter as a subheading by loading the \sty{nameref} package and using \cmd{nameref} instead of \cmd{ref}:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\usepackage{<<nameref>>}
+\defbibheading{subbibliography}{%
+ \section*{<<\nameref{refsection:\therefsection}>>}}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Since giving one \cmd{printbibliography} command for each part of a subdivided bibliography is tedious, \biblatex provides a shorthand. The \cmd{bibbysection} command automatically loops over all reference sections. This is equivalent to giving one \cmd{printbibliography} command for every section but has the additional benefit of automatically skipping sections without references. In the example above, the bibliography would then be generated as follows:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\printbibheading
+<<\bibbysection[heading=subbibliography]>>
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+When using a format with one cumulative bibliography subdivided by chapter (or any other document division) it may be more appropriate to use \env{refsegment} rather than \env{refsection} environments. The difference is that the \env{refsection} environment generates labels local to the environment while \env{refsegment} does not affect the generation of labels, hence they will be unique across the entire document. The next example could also be given in \secref{use:use:div} because, visually, it creates one global bibliography subdivided into multiple segments.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\documentclass{...}
+\usepackage{biblatex}
+<<\defbibheading>>{<<subbibliography>>}{%
+ \section*{References for Chapter \ref{<<refsegment:\therefsection\therefsegment>>}}}
+\addbibresource{...}
+\begin{document}
+\chapter{...}
+<<\begin{refsegment}>>
+...
+<<\end{refsegment}>>
+\chapter{...}
+<<\begin{refsegment}>>
+...
+<<\end{refsegment}>>
+\printbibheading
+<<\printbibliography>>[<<segment=1>>,<<heading=subbibliography>>]
+<<\printbibliography>>[<<segment=2>>,<<heading=subbibliography>>]
+\end{document}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The use of \env{refsegment} is similar to \env{refsection} and there is also a corresponding \opt{segment} option for \cmd{printbibliography}. The \biblatex package automatically sets a label at the beginning of every \env{refsegment} environment using the string \texttt{refsegment:} followed by the number of the respective \env{refsegment} environment as an identifier. There is a matching \cnt{refsegment} counter which may be used in heading definitions, as shown above. As with reference sections, there is also a shorthand command which automatically loops over all reference segments:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\printbibheading
+<<\bibbysegment[heading=subbibliography]>>
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This is equivalent to giving one \cmd{printbibliography} command for every segment in the current \env{refsection}.
+
+\subsubsection{Subdivided Bibliographies}
+\label{use:use:div}
+
+It is very common to subdivide a bibliography by certain criteria. For example, you may want to list printed and online resources separately or divide a bibliography into primary and secondary sources. The former case is straightforward because you can use the entry type as a criterion for the \opt{type} and \opt{nottype} filters of \cmd{printbibliography}. The next example also demonstrates how to generate matching subheadings for the two parts of the bibliography.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\documentclass{...}
+\usepackage{biblatex}
+\addbibresource{...}
+\begin{document}
+...
+\printbibheading
+\printbibliography[<<nottype=online>>,heading=subbibliography,
+ <<title={Printed Sources}>>]
+\printbibliography[<<type=online>>,heading=subbibliography,
+ <<title={Online Sources}>>]
+
+\end{document}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+You may also use more than two subdivisions:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\printbibliography[<<type=article>>,...]
+\printbibliography[<<type=book>>,...]
+\printbibliography[<<nottype=article>>,<<nottype=book>>,...]
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+It is even possible to give a chain of different types of filters:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\printbibliography[<<section=2>>,<<type=book>>,<<keyword=abc>>,<<notkeyword=xyz>>]
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This would print all works cited in reference section~2 whose entry type is \bibtype{book} and whose \bibfield{keywords} field includes the keyword <abc> but not <xyz>. When using bibliography filters in conjunction with a numeric style, see \secref{use:cav:lab}. If you need complex filters with conditional expressions, use the \opt{filter} option in conjunction with a custom filter defined with \cmd{defbibfilter}. See \secref{use:bib:flt} for details on custom filters.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\documentclass{...}
+\usepackage{biblatex}
+\addbibresource{...}
+\begin{document}
+...
+\printbibheading
+\printbibliography[<<keyword=primary>>,heading=subbibliography,%
+ <<title={Primary Sources}>>]
+\printbibliography[<<keyword=secondary>>,heading=subbibliography,%
+ <<title={Secondary Sources}>>]
+\end{document}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Dividing a bibliography into primary and secondary sources is possible with a \bibfield{keyword} filter, as shown in the above example. In this case, with only two subdivisions, it would be sufficient to use one keyword as filter criterion:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\printbibliography[<<keyword=primary>>,...]
+\printbibliography[<<notkeyword=primary>>,...]
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Since \biblatex has no way of knowing if an item in the bibliography is considered to be primary or secondary literature, we need to supply the bibliography filter with the required data by adding a \bibfield{keywords} field to each entry in the \file{bib} file. These keywords may then be used as targets for the \opt{keyword} and \opt{notkeyword} filters, as shown above. It may be a good idea to add such keywords right away while building a \file{bib} file.
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at Book{key,
+ <<keywords>> = {<<primary>>,some,other,keywords},
+ ...
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+An alternative way of subdividing the list of references are bibliography categories. They differ from the keywords"=based approach shown in the example above in that they work on the document level and do not require any changes to the \file{bib} file.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\documentclass{...}
+\usepackage{biblatex}
+<<\DeclareBibliographyCategory>>{<<primary>>}
+<<\DeclareBibliographyCategory>>{<<secondary>>}
+<<\addtocategory>>{<<primary>>}{key1,key3,key6}
+<<\addtocategory>>{<<secondary>>}{key2,key4,key5}
+\addbibresource{...}
+\begin{document}
+...
+\printbibheading
+\printbibliography[<<category=primary>>,heading=subbibliography,%
+ <<title={Primary Sources}>>]
+\printbibliography[<<category=secondary>>,heading=subbibliography,%
+ <<title={Secondary Sources}>>]
+\end{document}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+In this case it would also be sufficient to use one category only:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\printbibliography[<<category=primary>>,...]
+\printbibliography[<<notcategory=primary>>,...]
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+It is still a good idea to declare all categories used in the bibliography explicitly because there is a \cmd{bibbycategory} command which automatically loops over all categories. This is equivalent to giving one \cmd{printbibliography} command for every category, in the order in which they were declared.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\documentclass{...}
+\usepackage{biblatex}
+<<\DeclareBibliographyCategory>>{<<primary>>}
+<<\DeclareBibliographyCategory>>{<<secondary>>}
+\addtocategory{primary}{key1,key3,key6}
+\addtocategory{secondary}{key2,key4,key5}
+<<\defbibheading>>{<<primary>>}{\section*{Primary Sources}}
+<<\defbibheading>>{<<secondary>>}{\section*{Secondary Sources}}
+\addbibresource{...}
+\begin{document}
+...
+\printbibheading
+<<\bibbycategory>>
+\end{document}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The handling of the headings is different from \cmd{bibbysection} and \cmd{bibbysegment} in this case. \cmd{bibbycategory} uses the name of the current category as a heading name. This is equivalent to passing \texttt{heading=\prm{category}} to \cmd{printbibliography} and implies that you need to provide a matching heading for every category.
+
+\subsubsection{Entry Sets}
+\label{use:use:set}
+
+An entry set is a group of entries which are cited as a single reference and listed as a single item in the bibliography. The individual entries in the set are separated by \cmd{entrysetpunct} (\secref{aut:fmt:fmt}). The \biblatex package supports two types of entry sets. Static entry sets are defined in the \file{bib} file like any other entry. Dynamic entry sets are defined with \cmd{defbibentryset} (\secref{use:bib:set}) on a per-document\slash per-refsection basis in the document preamble or the document body. This section deals with the definition of entry sets; style authors should also see \secref{aut:cav:set} for further information. Please note that entry sets only make sense for styles which refer to entries by labels such as the provided \texttt{numeric} and \texttt{alphabetic} styles. Styles which refer to entries via names, titles etc. (\texttt{authoryear}, \texttt{authortitle}, \texttt{verbose} etc.) rarely employ sets and do not support them by default when they are cited directly. Custom styles may of course choose to implement some manner of set citation support in any manner they choose.
+
+\paragraph{Static entry sets}
+
+Static entry sets are defined in the \file{bib} file like any other entry. Defining an entry set is as simple as adding an entry of type \bibtype{set}. The entry has an \bibfield{entryset} field defining the members of the set as a separated list of entry keys:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+<<@Set>>{<<set1>>,
+ <<entryset>> = {<<key1,key2,key3>>},
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Entries may be part of a set in one document\slash refsection and stand-alone references in another one, depending on the presence of the \bibtype{set} entry. If the \bibtype{set} entry is cited, the set members are grouped automatically. If not, they will work like any regular entry. Note that with \bibtex as the backend, there must also be an \bibfield{entryset} field in the set members which point to the set parent. With \biber, this is not necessary.
+
+\paragraph[Dynamic entry sets]{Dynamic entry sets}
+
+Dynamic entry sets are set up and work much like static ones. The main difference is that they are defined in the document preamble or on the fly in the document body using the \cmd{defbibentryset} command from \secref{use:bib:set}:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+\defbibentryset{set1}{key1,key2,key3}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Dynamic entry sets in the document body are local to the enclosing \env{refsection} environment, if any. Otherwise, they are assigned to reference section~0. Those defined in the preamble are assigned to reference section~0.
+
+\subsubsection[Data Containers]{Data Containers}
+\label{use:use:xdat}
+
+The \bibtype{xdata} entry type serves as a data container holding one or more fields. Data in \bibtype{xdata} entries may be referenced and used by other entries. \bibtype{xdata} entries may not be cited or added to the bibliography, they only serve as a data source for other entries (including other \bibtype{xdata} entries). This data inheritance mechanism is useful for fixed field combinations such as \bibfield{publisher}\slash \bibfield{location} and for other frequently used data:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+<<@XData>>{<<hup>>,
+ publisher = {Harvard University Press},
+ location = {Cambridge, Mass.},
+}
+ at Book{...,
+ author = {...},
+ title = {...},
+ date = {...},
+ <<xdata>> = {<<hup>>},
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Using a separated list of keys in its \bibfield{xdata} field, an entry may inherit data from several \bibtype{xdata} entries. Cascading \bibtype{xdata} entries are supported as well, \ie an \bibtype{xdata} entry may reference one or more other \bibtype{xdata} entries:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at XData{macmillan:name,
+ publisher = {Macmillan},
+}
+ at XData{macmillan:place,
+ location = {New York and London},
+}
+ at XData{macmillan,
+ xdata = {macmillan:name,macmillan:place},
+}
+ at Book{...,
+ author = {...},
+ title = {...},
+ date = {...},
+ xdata = {macmillan},
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+More granular \bibtype{xdata} entry data may be referenced. It is not necessary to reference only entire fields. For example:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at XData{someauthors,
+ author = {John Smith and Brian Brown}
+}
+ at XData{somelocations,
+ location = {Location1 and Location2}
+}
+ at XData{somenotes,
+ note = {A note}
+}
+ at Book{...,
+ author = {Alan Drudge and xdata=someauthors-author-2},
+ editor = {xdata=someauthors-author and Ann Editor},
+ location = {xdata=somelocations-location-1 and Location3},
+ note = {xdata=somenotes-note}
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+The format of granular \bibtype{xdata} references are as follows:
+
+\begin{namesample}
+\item~\delim{x}{1}data\delim{=}{2}\delim{$<$}{3}key$>$\delim{-}{4}\delim{$<$}{5}field$>$\delim{-}{6}\delim{$<$}{7}index$>$
+\end{namesample}
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item The value of the \biber option \opt{--xdatamarker} (by default '\texttt{xdata}')
+ \item The value of the \biber option \opt{--xnamesep} (by default '\texttt{=}')
+ \item A valid entry key of an \bibtype{xdata} entry
+ \item The value of the \biber option \opt{--xdatasep} (by default '\texttt{-}')
+ \item A valid entry field in the source \bibtype {xdata} entry
+ \item (Optional) The value of the \biber option \opt{--xdatasep} (by default '\texttt{-}')
+ \item (Optional) A valid 1-based index into a list/name field in the source \bibtype {xdata} entry
+\end{enumerate}
+%
+There are \opt{--output-*} variants of the above options for \biber tool mode output so that these separators and markers can be programatically changed. Taking the example above, this \bibtype{book} would resolve to:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at Book{...,
+ author = {Alan Drudge and Brian Brown},
+ editor = {John Smith and Brian Brown and Ann Editor},
+ location = {Location1 and Location3},
+ note = {A note}
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Things to note with granular \bibtype{xdata} references:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item References must be made only to \bibtype{xdata} fields. A warning will be generated otherwise and the reference will not be resolved
+ \item References must be made only to \bibtype{xdata} fields of the same type (list/name and datatype) as the referencing field. A warning will be generated otherwise and the reference will not be resolved
+ \item References to fields of datatype 'date' are not possible. References to legacy \bibfield{year} and \bibfield{month} fields are possible
+ \item References to missing entries, fields or list/name indices will generate a warning and the reference will not be resolved
+ \item If an index is missing for a reference to a list/name field, the
+ entire xdata name/list field will be spliced into the referencing field
+ at the desired position.
+\end{itemize}

+
+\subsubsection{Electronic Publishing Information}
+\label{use:use:epr}
+
+The \biblatex package provides three fields for electronic publishing information: \bibfield{eprint}, \bibfield{eprinttype}, and \bibfield{eprintclass}. The \bibfield{eprint} field is a verbatim field similar to \bibfield{doi} which holds the identifier of the item. The \bibfield{eprinttype} field holds the resource name, \ie the name of the site or electronic archive. The optional \bibfield{eprintclass} field is intended for additional information specific to the resource indicated by the \bibfield{eprinttype} field. This could be a section, a path, classification information, etc. If the \bibfield{eprinttype} field is available, the standard styles will use it as a literal label. In the following example, they would print «Resource: identifier» rather than the generic «eprint: identifier»:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+<<eprint>> = {<<identifier>>},
+<<eprinttype>> = {<<Resource>>},
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+The standard styles feature dedicated support for a few online archives. For arXiv references, put the identifier in the \bibfield{eprint} field and the string \texttt{arxiv} in the \bibfield{eprinttype} field:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+<<eprint>> = {<<math/0307200v3>>},
+<<eprinttype>> = {<<arxiv>>},
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+For papers which use the new identifier scheme (April 2007 and later) add the primary classification in the \bibfield{eprintclass} field:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+eprint = {1008.2849v1},
+eprinttype = {arxiv},
+<<eprintclass>> = {<<cs.DS>>},
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+There are two aliases which ease the integration of arXiv entries. \bibfield{archiveprefix} is treated as an alias for \bibfield{eprinttype}; \bibfield{primaryclass} is an alias for \bibfield{eprintclass}. If hyperlinks are enabled, the eprint identifier will be transformed into a link to \nolinkurl{arxiv.org}. See the package option \opt{arxiv} in \secref{use:opt:pre:gen} for further details.
+
+For \acr{JSTOR} references, put the stable \acr{JSTOR} number in the \bibfield{eprint} field and the string \texttt{jstor} in the \bibfield{eprinttype} field:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+<<eprint>> = {<<number>>},
+<<eprinttype>> = {<<jstor>>},
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+When using \acr{JSTOR}'s export feature to export citations in \bibtex format, \acr{JSTOR} uses the \bibfield{url} field by default (where the \prm{number} is a unique and stable identifier):
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+url = {http://www.jstor.org/stable/<<number>>},
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+While this will work as expected, full \acr{URL}s tend to clutter the bibliography. With the \bibfield{eprint} fields, the standard styles will use the more readable «\acr{JSTOR}: \prm{number}» format which also supports hyperlinks. The \prm{number} becomes a clickable link if \sty{hyperref} support is enabled.
+
+For PubMed references, put the stable PubMed identifier in the \bibfield{eprint} field and the string \texttt{pubmed} in the \bibfield{eprinttype} field. This means that:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+url = {http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/<<pmid>>},
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+becomes:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+<<eprint>> = {<<pmid>>},
+<<eprinttype>> = {<<pubmed>>},
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+and the standard styles will print «\acr{PMID}: \prm{pmid}» instead of the lengthy \acr{URL}. If hyperref support is enabled, the \prm{pmid} will be a clickable link to PubMed.
+
+For handles (\acr{HDL}s), put the handle in the \bibfield{eprint} field and the string \texttt{hdl} in the \bibfield{eprinttype} field:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+<<eprint>> = {<<handle>>},
+<<eprinttype>> = {<<hdl>>},
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+For Google Books references, put Google's identifier in the \bibfield{eprint} field and the string \texttt{googlebooks} in the \bibfield{eprinttype} field. This means that, for example:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+url = {http://books.google.com/books?id=<<XXu4AkRVBBoC>>},
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+would become:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+<<eprint>> = {<<XXu4AkRVBBoC>>},
+<<eprinttype>> = {<<googlebooks>>},
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+and the standard styles would print «Google Books: |XXu4AkRVBBoC|» instead of the full \acr{URL}. If hyperref support is enabled, the identifier will be a clickable link to Google Books.\footnote{Note that the Google Books \acr{id} seems to be a bit of an <internal> value. As of this writing, there does not seem to be any way to search for an \acr{id} on Google Books. You may prefer to use the \bibfield{url} in this case.}
+
+Note that \bibfield{eprint} is a verbatim field. Always give the identifier in its unmodified form. For example, there is no need to replace |_| with |\_|. Also see \secref{aut:cav:epr} on how to add dedicated support for other eprint resources.
+
+\subsubsection{External Abstracts and Annotations}
+\label{use:use:prf}
+
+Styles which print the fields \bibfield{abstract} and\slash or \bibfield{annotation} may support an alternative way of adding abstracts or annotations to the bibliography. Instead of including the text in the \file{bib} file, it may also be stored in an external \latex file. For example, instead of saying
+
+\begin{ltxexample}[style=bibtex]
+ at Article{key1,
+ ...
+ abstract = {This is an abstract of entry `key1'.}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+in the \file{bib} file, you may create a file named \path{bibabstract-key1.tex} and put the abstract in this file:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+This is an abstract of entry `key1'.
+\endinput
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The name of the external file must be the entry key prefixed with \texttt{bibabstract-} or \texttt{bibannotation-}, respectively. You can change these prefixes by redefining \cmd{bibabstractprefix} and \cmd{bibannotationprefix}. Note that this feature needs to be enabled explicitly by setting the package option \opt{loadfiles} from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}. The option is disabled by default for performance reasons. Also note that any \bibfield{abstract} and \bibfield{annotation} fields in the \file{bib} file take precedence over the external files. Using external files is strongly recommended if you have long abstracts or a lot of annotations since this may increase memory requirements significantly. It is also more convenient to edit the text in a dedicated \latex file. Style authors should see \secref{aut:cav:prf} for further information.
+
+\subsection{Hints and Caveats}
+\label{use:cav}
+
+This section provides additional usage hints and addresses some common problems and potential misconceptions.
+
+\subsubsection{Usage with \acr{KOMA}-Script Classes}
+\label{use:cav:scr}
+
+When used in conjunction with a recent version\footnote{At least \acr{KOMA}-Script 3.25 (2018/03/30).} one of the \sty{scrbook}, \sty{scrreprt}, or \sty{scrartcl} classes, \biblatex passes control over the (default) headings \texttt{bibliography} and \texttt{biblist} from \secref{use:bib:hdg} to the class. Hence, bibliography-heading-related class options can be used as usual. You can override the default headings by using the \opt{heading} option of \cmd{printbibliography}, \cmd{printbibheading} and \cmd{printbiblist}. See \secref{use:bib:bib, use:bib:biblist, use:bib:hdg} for details.
+
+\biblatex also tries to detect bibliography-related class options and settings itself.\footnote{This applies to the traditional syntax of these options (\opt{bibtotoc} and \opt{bibtotocnumbered}) as well as to the \keyval syntax introduced in \acr{KOMA}-Script 3.x, \ie to \kvopt{bibliography}{nottotoc}, \kvopt{bibliography}{totoc}, and \kvopt{bibliography}{totocnumbered}. The global \kvopt{toc}{bibliography} and \kvopt{toc}{bibliographynumbered} options as well as their aliases are detected as well. In any case, the options must be set globally in the optional argument to \cmd{documentclass}.} This was required to be able to adapt the bibliography headings to the class settings in older versions of \acr{KOMA}-Script. If one of the above classes is detected, \biblatex will provide the following additional tests which may be useful in custom heading definitions. Since these tests rely on the error-prone external detection of \acr{KOMA}-Script settings and are no longer used with newer \acr{KOMA}-Script versions, these tests are deprecated and should no longer be used.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{ifkomabibtotoc}{true}{false}\DeprecatedMark
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the class would add the bibliography to the table of contents, and to \prm{false} otherwise. This test is deprecated.
+
+\cmditem{ifkomabibtotocnumbered}{true}{false}\DeprecatedMark
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the class would add the bibliography to the table of contents as a numbered section, and to \prm{false} otherwise. If this test yields \prm{true}, \cmd{ifkomabibtotoc} will always yield \prm{true} as well, but not vice versa. This test is deprecated.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Usage with the Memoir Class}
+\label{use:cav:mem}
+
+When using \biblatex with the \sty{memoir} class, most class facilities for adapting the bibliography have no effect. Use the corresponding facilities of this package instead (\secref{use:bib:bib, use:bib:hdg, use:bib:nts}). Instead of redefining \sty{memoir}'s \cmd{bibsection}, use the \opt{heading} option of \cmd{printbibliography} and \cmd{defbibheading} (\secref{use:bib:bib, use:bib:hdg}). Instead of \cmd{prebibhook} and \cmd{postbibhook}, use the \opt{prenote} and \opt{postnote} options of \cmd{printbibliography} and \cmd{defbibnote} (\secref{use:bib:bib, use:bib:nts}). All default headings are adapted at load-time such that they blend well with the default layout of this class. The default headings \texttt{bibliography} and \texttt{biblist} (\secref{use:bib:hdg}) are also responsive to \sty{memoir}'s \cmd{bibintoc} and \cmd{nobibintoc} switches. The length register \len{bibitemsep} is used by \biblatex in a way similar to \sty{memoir} (\secref{use:fmt:len}). This section also introduces some additional length registers which correspond to \sty{memoir}'s \cmd{biblistextra}. Lastly, \cmd{setbiblabel} does not map to a single facility of the \biblatex package since the style of all labels in the bibliography is controlled by the bibliography style. See \secref{aut:bbx:env} in the author section of this manual for details. If the \sty{memoir} class is detected, \biblatex will also provide the following additional test which may be useful in custom heading definitions:
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{ifmemoirbibintoc}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} or \prm{false}, depending on \sty{memoir}'s \cmd{bibintoc} and \cmd{nobibintoc} switches. This is a \latex frontend to \sty{memoir}'s \cmd{ifnobibintoc} test. Note that the logic of the test is reversed.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Page Numbers in Citations}
+\label{use:cav:pag}
+
+If the \prm{postnote} argument to a citation command is a page number or page range, \biblatex will automatically prefix it with <p.> or <pp.> by default. This works reliably in typical cases, but sometimes manual intervention may be required. In this case, it is important to understand how this argument is handled in detail. First, \biblatex checks if the postnote is an Arabic or Roman numeral (case insensitive). If this test succeeds, the postnote is considered as a single page or other number which will be prefixed with <p.> or some other string which depends on the \sty{pagination} field (see \secref{bib:use:pag}). If it fails, a second test is performed to find out if the postnote is a range or a list of Arabic or Roman numerals. If this test succeeds, the postnote will be prefixed with <pp.> or some other string in the plural form. If it fails as well, the postnote is printed as is. Note that both tests expand the \prm{postnote}. All commands used in this argument must therefore be robust or prefixed with \cmd{protect}. Here are a few examples of \prm{postnote} arguments which will be correctly recognized as a single number, a range of numbers, or a list of numbers, respectively:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\cite[25]{key}
+\cite[vii]{key}
+\cite[XIV]{key}
+\cite[34--38]{key}
+\cite[iv--x]{key}
+\cite[185/86]{key}
+\cite[XI \& XV]{key}
+\cite[3, 5, 7]{key}
+\cite[vii--x; 5, 7]{key}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+In some other cases, however, the tests may get it wrong and you need to resort to the auxiliary commands \cmd{pnfmt}, \cmd{pno}, \cmd{ppno}, and \cmd{nopp} from \secref{use:cit:msc}. For example, suppose a work is cited by a special pagination scheme consisting of numbers and letters. In this scheme, the string <|27a|> would mean <page~27, part~a>. Since this string does not look like a number or a range to \biblatex, you need to force the prefix for a single number manually:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\cite[\pno~27a]{key}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+There is also a \cmd{ppno} command which forces a range prefix as well as a \cmd{nopp} command which suppresses all prefixes:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\cite[\ppno~27a--28c]{key}
+\cite[\nopp 25]{key}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+These commands may be used anywhere in the \prm{postnote} argument. They may also be used multiple times. For example, when citing by volume and page number, you may want to suppress the prefix at the beginning of the postnote and add it in the middle of the string:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\cite[VII, \pno~5]{key}
+\cite[VII, \pno~3, \ppno~40--45]{key}
+\cite[see][\ppno~37--46, in particular \pno~40]{key}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The command \cmd{pnfmt} can be used for \prm{postnote}s consisting of a page range and some additional text. \cmd{pnfmt} prints its argument in the format specified for the postnote and can be used to format the page range automatically without the need for \cmd{pno} and \cmd{ppno}.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\cite[\pnfmt{37-46}, in particular \pnfmt{40}]{key}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+There are also two auxiliary command for suffixes like <the following page(s)>. Instead of inserting such suffixes literally (which would require \cmd{ppno} to force a prefix):
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\cite[\ppno~27~sq.]{key}
+\cite[\ppno~55~sqq.]{key}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+use the auxiliary commands \cmd{psq} and \cmd{psqq}. Note that there is no space between the number and the command. This space will be inserted automatically and may be modified by redefining the macro \cmd{sqspace}.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\cite[27\psq]{key}
+\cite[55\psqq]{key}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Since the postnote is printed without any prefix if it includes any character which is not an Arabic or Roman numeral, you may also type the prefix manually---though this is discouraged:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\cite[p.~5]{key}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+It is possible to suppress the prefix on a per"=entry basis by setting the \bibfield{pagination} field of an entry to <\texttt{none}>, see \secref{bib:use:pag} for details. If you do not want any prefixes at all or prefer to type them manually, you can also disable the entire mechanism in the document preamble or the configuration file as follows:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareFieldFormat{postnote}{#1}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The \prm{postnote} argument is handled as a field and the formatting of this field is controlled by a field formatting directive which may be freely redefined. The above definition will simply print the postnote as is. See \secref{aut:cbx:fld, aut:bib:fmt} in the author guide for further details.
+
+\subsubsection{Name Parts and Name Spacing}
+\label{use:cav:nam}
+
+The \biblatex package gives users and style authors very fine"=grained control of name spacing and the line"=breaking behavior of names. The commands discussed in the following are documented in \secref{use:fmt:fmt,aut:fmt:fmt}. This section is meant to give an overview of how they are put together. A note on terminology: a name \emph{part} is a basic part of the name, for example the given or the family name. Each part of a name may be a single name or it may be composed of multiple names. For example, the name part \enquote*{given name} may be composed of a given and a middle name. The latter are referred to as name \emph{elements} in this section. Let's consider a simple name first: \enquote{John Edward Doe}. This name is composed of the following parts:
+
+\begin{nameparts}
+Given & John Edward \\
+Prefix & --- \\
+Family & Doe \\
+Suffix & --- \\
+\end{nameparts}
+%
+The spacing, punctuation and line"=breaking behavior of names is controlled by six macros:
+
+\begin{namedelims}
+a & \cmd{bibnamedelima} & Inserted by the backend after the first element of every name part if that element is less than three characters long and before the last element of every name part. \\
+b & \cmd{bibnamedelimb} & Inserted by the backend between all elements of a name part where \cmd{bibnamedelima} does not apply. \\
+c & \cmd{bibnamedelimc} & Inserted by a formatting directive between the name prefix and the family name if \kvopt{useprefix}{true}. If \kvopt{useprefix}{false}, \cmd{bibnamedelimd} is used instead. \\
+d & \cmd{bibnamedelimd} & Inserted by a formatting directive between name parts where \cmd{bibnamedelimc} does not apply. \\
+i & \cmd{bibnamedelimi} & Replaces \cmd{bibnamedelima/b} after initials \\
+p & \cmd{revsdnamepunct} & Inserted by a formatting directive after the family name when the name parts are reversed.
+\end{namedelims}
+%
+This is how the delimiters are employed:
+
+\begin{namesample}
+\item John\delim{~}{a}Edward\delim{ }{d}Doe
+\item Doe\delim{,}{p}\delim{ }{d}John\delim{~}{a}Edward
+\end{namesample}
+%
+Initials in the \file{bib} file get a special delimiter:
+
+\begin{namesample}
+\item J.\delim{~}{i}Edward\delim{ }{d}Doe
+\end{namesample}
+%
+Let's consider a more complex name: \enquote{Charles-Jean Étienne Gustave Nicolas de La Vallée Poussin}. This name is composed of the following parts:
+
+\begin{nameparts}
+Given & Charles-Jean Étienne Gustave Nicolas \\
+Prefix & de \\
+Family & La Vallée Poussin \\
+Suffix & --- \\
+\end{nameparts}
+%
+The delimiters:
+
+\begin{namesample}
+\item Charles-Jean\delim{~}{b}Étienne\delim{~}{b}Gustave\delim{~}{a}Nicolas\delim{ }{d}%
+ de\delim{ }{c}%
+ La\delim{~}{a}Vallée\delim{~}{a}Poussin
+\end{namesample}
+%
+Note that \cmd{bibnamedelima/b/i} are inserted by the backend. The backend processes the name parts and takes care of the delimiters between the elements that make up a name part, processing each part individually. In contrast to that, the delimiters between the parts of the complete name (\cmd{bibnamedelimc/d}) are added by name formatting directives at a later point in the processing chain. The spacing and punctuation of initials is also handled by the backend and may be customized by redefining the following three macros:
+
+\begin{namedelims}
+a & \cmd{bibinitperiod} & Inserted by the backend after initials.\\
+b & \cmd{bibinitdelim} & Inserted by the backend between multiple initials.\\
+c & \cmd{bibinithyphendelim} & Inserted by the backend between the initials of hyphenated name parts, replacing \cmd{bibinitperiod} and \cmd{bibinitdelim}.\\
+\end{namedelims}
+%
+This is how they are employed:
+
+\begin{namesample}
+\item J\delim{.}{a}\delim{~}{b}E\delim{.}{a} Doe
+\item K\delim{.-}{c}H\delim{.}{a} Mustermann
+\end{namesample}
+
+\subsubsection{Split Bibliographies and Citation Labels}
+\label{use:cav:lab}
+
+The citation labels generated by this package are assigned to the full list of references before it is split up by any bibliography filters. They are guaranteed to be unique across the entire document (or a \env{refsection} environment), no matter how many bibliography filters you are using. When using a numeric citation scheme, however, this will most likely lead to discontinuous numbering in split bibliographies. Use the \opt{defernumbers} package option to avoid this problem. If this option is enabled, numeric labels are assigned the first time an entry is printed in any bibliography.
+
+Compare the output of the following example with \texttt{defernumbers=true} and \texttt{defernumbers=false}.
+%
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\documentclass{article}
+\usepackage[defernumbers=true]{biblatex}
+
+\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
+
+\begin{document}
+Lorem \autocite{worman} ipsum \autocite{sigfridsson}
+dolor \autocite{nussbaum} sit \autocite{aksin}
+
+\printbibheading[title={Bibliography}]
+\printbibliography[heading=subbibliography,
+ type=book, title={Books}]
+\printbibliography[heading=subbibliography,
+ type=article, title={Articles}]
+\end{document}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+There are pathological cases where neither \texttt{defernumbers=true} nor \texttt{defernumbers=false} produce fully desirable output. This may be the case when entries can end up in several of the split bibliographies---or if there is an additional global bibliography. But in most cases with non-overlapping split bibliographies \texttt{defernumbers=true} produces better results. \sty{biblatex} will therefore suggest setting \opt{defernumbers} to \opt{true} in a warning when a split bibliography setup is detected. That warning can be suppressed in case setting \opt{defernumbers} to \opt{true} is not desirable.
+
+\subsubsection{Active Characters in Bibliography Headings}
+\label{use:cav:act}
+
+Packages using active characters, such as \sty{babel}, \sty{polyglossia}, \sty{csquotes}, or \sty{underscore}, usually do not make them active until the beginning of the document body to avoid interference with other packages. A typical example of such an active character is the \acr{US-ASCII} quote |"|, which is used by various language modules of the \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} packages. If shorthands such as |"<| and |"a| are used in the argument to \cmd{defbibheading} and the headings are defined in the document preamble, the non-active form of the characters is saved in the heading definition. When the heading is typeset, they do not function as a command but are simply printed literally. The most straightforward solution consists in moving \cmd{defbibheading} after |\begin{document}|. Alternatively, you may use \sty{babel}'s \cmd{shorthandon} and \cmd{shorthandoff} commands to temporarily make the shorthands active in the preamble. The above also applies to bibliography notes and the \cmd{defbibnote} command.
+
+\subsubsection{Grouping in Reference Sections and Segments}
+\label{use:cav:grp}
+
+All \latex environments enclosed in \cmd{begin} and \cmd{end} form a group. This may have undesirable side effects if the environment contains anything that does not expect to be used within a group. This issue is not specific to \env{refsection} and \env{refsegment} environments, but it obviously applies to them as well. Since these environments will usually enclose much larger portions of the document than a typical \env{itemize} or similar environment, they are simply more likely to trigger problems related to grouping. If you observe any malfunctions after adding \env{refsection} environments to a document (for example, if anything seems to be <trapped> inside the environment), try the following syntax instead:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\chapter{...}
+<<\refsection>>
+...
+<<\endrefsection>>
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This will not form a group, but otherwise works as usual. As far as \biblatex is concerned, it does not matter which syntax you use. The alternative syntax is also supported by the \env{refsegment} environment. Note that the commands \cmd{newrefsection} and \cmd{newrefsegment} do not form a group. See \secref{use:bib:sec, use:bib:seg} for details.
+
+\subsection{Using the fallback \bibtex\ backend}
+\label{use:bibtex}
+
+To utilise all of the features described here, \biblatex must be used with the
+\biber program as a backend. Indeed, the documentation in general assumes this. However, for a \emph{limited} subset of use cases it is possible to use the
+long-established \bibtex program (either the 7-bit \texttt{bibtex} or
+8-bit \texttt{bibtex8}) as the supporting backend. This works in much the
+same way as for \biber with the only proviso being that \bibtex is much more
+limited as a backend.
+
+Using \bibtex as the backend requires that the option \opt{backend=bibtex}
+or \opt{backend=bibtex8} is given at load time. The \biblatex package will
+then write appropriate data for use by \bibtex into the auxiliary file(s)
+and a special data file (automatically included in those to be read by
+\bibtex). The \bibtex(8) program should then be run on each auxiliary file:
+\biblatex will list all of the required files in the log.
+
+Key limitations of the \bibtex backend are:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Sorting is global and is limited to \acr{US-ASCII} ordering
+\item No re-encoding is possible and thus database entries must be in
+ LICR form to work reliably
+\item The data model is fixed
+\item Cross-referencing is more limited and entry sets must be written
+ into the \path{.bib} file
+\item Fixed memory capacity (using the \verb|--wolfgang| option with
+ \verb|bibtex8| is strongly recommended to minimize the likelihood of
+ an issue here)
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{Multiscript Support}
+\label{use:multiscript}
+
+\biblatex and \biber allow the user to specify <alternates> for entryfields designated as <multiscript> in the bibliography data. Here and below <entryfield> is any bibliography field, whether a plain field, list or name. The <alternates> are simply alternative <form> and <language> combinations of the same entryfield data. Multiscript support consists of the following features:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Data entryfields in the datasources (\file{.bib}, \file{.bltxml} etc.) may have more than one <alternates>
+\item All macros which accept the name of an entryfield have optional <msform> and <mslang> arguments to allow the specification of a particular <alternate> of the entryfield, with the default <alternate> determined by the global/per-refcontext \opt{msform} and \opt{mslang} options. \item The language of individual items in name list or plain list entryfields can be specified using a dedicated data annotation to allow script/language switching on a per-item basis.
+\item For name list and plain list entryfields, all alternates of the item being printed are available as macros
+\item Options are available to determine how automatic script/language switching is performed at a per-field and per-listitem level.
+\item The alternate for \bibfield{labelname} and \bibfield{labeltitle} can be determined dynamically depending on the current \opt{msform} and \opt{mslang} settings at time of printing.
+\end{itemize}
+
+The <form> of an alternate entryfield value is one of the vales of the <multiscriptforms> constant, the default for which is:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareDatamodelConstant[type=list]{multiscriptforms}{default,transliteration,transcription,translation}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The <language> of an alternate entryfield value is a standard IETF BCP47\footnote{https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47} language tag which specifies a language code along with optional subtags specifying dialects etc. In most cases, these are obvious and well-known tags such as <en> for English, <en-us> for US-english, <fr> for French, <de> for German etc.
+
+The default multiscript language used when selecting entryfields to print etc. is determined from the babel/polyglossia main language with a fallback to <en-us>. The \opt{langid} datasource entry option plays an important role in multiscript support as it determines the default alternate language on a per-entry basis. \biber has a \opt{mslang} option which sets the default alternate language for all multiscript entryfields which do not specify a language explicitly for the field or for the entry using \bibfield{langid} as described above. \biber will by default use the global \opt{mslang} option setting from \biblatex but this can be overridden using \biber's own \opt{mslang} option (which defaults to <en-us>). For maximum control over multiscript functionality, it is recommended to consistently set the \bibfield{langid} field in your datasource entries so that you always know which multiscript language will be used by default when printing data from an entry. See below for details on how alternates are selected for printing.
+
+Bibliographic entryfields which support multiscript alternates are specified in the datamodel using \cmd{DeclareDatamodelMultiscriptEntryfields}. The default includes most name, list and literal fields in the standard datamodel. Multiscript enabled entryfields always have a <form> and <language> associated with them which default to the global \opt{msform} and \opt{mslang} options respectively. These global defaults can be overriden on a per-refcontext basis by the \opt{msform} and \opt{mslang} options to the refcontext macros.
+
+The \biblatex options:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item \cmd{DeclareLabelname}
+ \item \cmd{DeclareLabeltitle}
+ \item \cmd{DeclareSortingTemplate}
+ \item \cmd{DeclareLabelalphaTemplate}
+\end{itemize}
+%
+are multiscript aware and allow the selection of specific entryfield alternates by use of the \opt{form} and \opt{lang} options. For example, declaring the \opt{labelname} template like this:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareLabelname{%
+ \field[form=transliteration,lang=ru-Cyrl]{author}
+ \field{author}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Would set the \opt{labelname} to a Russian Cyrillic alternate of the \bibfield{author} name field, if found, before trying the default alternate <form> and <language> alternate of the \bibfield{author} name field.
+
+Here is an example of the \biber multiscript support syntax for \file{.bib} datasources:
+{\footnotesize
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex,escapeinside={(*@}{@*)}]{}
+ at ARTICLE{mstest,
+ AUTHOR = {Bill Smith and Пушкин, Александр and (*@\quickch{徐冰}@*)},
+ AUTHOR+an:mslang = {2="ru-Cyrl";3="zh-Hant"},
+ AUTHOR_transliteration_ru-Latn = {Bill Smith and Pushkin, Aleksandr and Xu, Bing},
+ AUTHOR_transliteration_ru-Latn+an:mslang = {1="en-US";3="zh-Latn"},
+ AUTHOR_transliteration_ru-Grek = {Bill Smith and Πούσκιν, Ἀλεξάντρ and Ξού, Μπίνγκ},
+ AUTHOR_transliteration_ru-Grek+an:mslang = {1="en-US";3="zh-Grek"},
+ LOCATION = {locationa and Standortb},
+ LOCATION+an:mslang = {2="de"},
+ LOCATION_translation_fr = {emplacementa and Standortb},
+ LOCATION_translation_fr+an:mslang = {2="de"},
+ TITLE = {Title},
+ TITLE_translation_fr = {Titre},
+ DATE = {1995}
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+}
+%
+This example demonstrates the multiscript entryfield alternate syntax where the
+<form> and <language> follow the entryfield name, separated by a (customisable)
+separator (the default is an underscore). Notice that there are alternates
+for the \bibfield{author}, \bibfield{location} and \bibfield{title} entryfields.
+
+It is also possible to override the <language> of an alternate on a
+per-item basis using the \biber data annotation feature (see
+\ref{use:annote}). \biber's multiscript support reserves the \bibfield{mslang}
+named literal annotation for this purpose. These annotations are available via the
+interfaces described in \ref{use:annote}.
+
+Within formats, \cmd{currentmsform} and \cmd{currentmslang} contain the multiscript form and BCP47 language tag respectively for the current field/list item. \cmd{currentmsforms} and \cmd{currentmslangs} contain \sty{etoolbox} lists of all multiscript forms and BCP47 language tags respectively of the current entryfield. The macros are all empty in non-multiscript fields.
+
+The standard \bibfield{langid} entryfield plays a special role in multiscript support as it is a per-entry override for the default alternate <language> for all entryfields in the entry. For example:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at ARTICLE{mstest,
+ LANGID = {russian},
+ AUTHOR = {Bill Smith and Пушкин, Александр},
+ AUTHOR+an:mslang = {1="en-US"},
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+The name <Пушкин, Александр> will be processed by \biber with the <language> \opt{ru-Cyrl} due to the \bibfield{langid} entryfield which overrides the global \opt{mslang} setting of \biblatex which is passed to \biber.
+
+Within field, list and name formatting directives, the macros \cmd{currentmsforms} and \cmd{currentmslangs} are \sty{etoolbox} lists of valid multiscript forms/langs for the current entryfield which allow, for example, looping over valid multiscript forms and languages for the entryfield being processed. See \ref{aut:bib:fmt} and \ref{aut:fmt:ilc}.
+
+Inside the formats for multiscript name list and plain list fields, macros are automatically made available which contain all alternates of the current list item/nameparts. See \ref{aut:bbx:drv} and \ref{aut:bib:fmt}.
+
+Automatic \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} language and \sty{biblatex} bibstring switching on a per-list item/namepart basis is controlled by the options \opt{autofieldlang} and \opt{autofieldlangstrings} which allow switching at a more granular level than \opt{autolang}. Granular automatic language switching relies on a mapping of BCP47 language tags to \biblatex/\sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} language identifiers so that these packages know which language to switch to (this is necessary until BCP47 support is native to \biblatex, \sty{babel} and \sty{polyglossia}. \biblatex has default mappings as defined in Appendix \secref{apx:bcp}. In addition, you may override or add new mappings with the \cmd{maplangtag} command:
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{maplangtag}{BCP47tag}{langid}
+
+Provides a mapping between the BCP47 language tags used in multiscript entryfield alternate specifications and \biblatex/\sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} language identifiers.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+The \biblatex option \opt{dynamiclabel} allows dynamic selection of \bibfield{labelname} and \bibfield{labeltitle} depending on the current \opt{msform} and \opt{mslang} settings. For example, suppose the following:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at ARTICLE{mstest,
+ AUTHOR = {Pushkin, Alexander},
+ AUTHOR_transliteration_ru = {Пушкин, Александр},
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+The default \cmd{DeclareLabelname} setting would select the English \bibfield{author} field alternate as the value of \bibfield{labelname} and the following would print <Pushkin> for both citations in an \sty{authoryear} style since citations in such styles use \bibfield{labelname} by default:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+ \cite{mtest}
+ \begin{refcontext}[msform=transliteration,mslang=ru]
+ \cite{mtest}
+ \end{refcontext}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+\bibfield{labelname} here is the same in both refcontexts, as determined by the \cmd{DeclareLabelname} setting. However, with <\kvopt{dynamiclabel}{true}>, the second citation would determine \bibfield{labelname} from the current (refcontext) settings for \opt{msform} and \opt{mslang} and the second citation would read <Пушкин>. It is also possible to select particular alternates of name list fields using the optional arguments to \cmd{DeclareLabelname} but bear in mind that these are still static settings--\bibfield{labelname} selection will not be dynamic and override the \cmd{DeclareLabelname} choice unless <\kvopt{dynamiclabel}{true}>. Similar considerations apply to \bibfield{labeltitle}.
+
+\subsection{Selection of Multiscript Alternates}
+\label{use:multiscript:select}
+When selecting or printing a multiscript alternate with:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item \cmd{printfield}
+ \item \cmd{printlist}
+ \item \cmd{printname}
+ \item \cmd{indexfield}
+ \item \cmd{indexlist}
+ \item \cmd{indexname}
+\end{itemize}
+%
+the multiscript alternate to use is selected using the following rules:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item If an explicit form/lang is specified, then only this alternate is considered
+\item If no explicit form/lang is specified, then the following are considered, in order
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item The alternate identified by the currently active form/lang (see below)
+ \item The first alternate found in the multiscript select list for the entry \bibfield{langid} (if it exists) or else the currently active multiscript language
+ \item The alternate identified by the currently active multiscipt form and the entry \bibfield{langid} (if it exists) or else the currently active multiscript language
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+
+The active multiscript form/language are determined by, in ascending order of override:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item The global \opt{msform} and \opt{mslang} settings derived respectively from the global option and babel/polyglossia document language
+\item The refcontext \opt{msform}/\opt{mslang} options
+\end{itemize}
+
+The multiscript select list for a \bibfield{langid} is defined using the following macro:
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareMsselect}{langid}{specification}
+
+Defines the multiscript alternates to look for, in order, when attempting to print a multiscript field in the context of the language with \prm{langid}. \prm{langid} can be a babel/polyglossia language specifier or BCP47 language tag. The language context is either the \bibfield{langid} of the entry (if it exists) or the active \bibfield{mslang}. The \prm{specification} is one or more \cmd{alternate} macros:
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\cmditem{alternate}{form}{BCP47tag}
+
+A multiscript alternate to look for, specified by \opt{form} and \opt{BCP47tag}.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+%
+For example, to specify a multiscript select list for entries with \bibfield{langid} of <japanese> (or entries with no \bibfield{langid} field in a context where the active \opt{mslang} is the BCP47 language tag equivalent <ja-jp>).
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareMsselect{japanese}{
+ \alternate{transcription}{ja-hira}
+ \alternate{transliteration}{ja-latn}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This could also be specified as:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareMsselect{ja-jp}{
+ \alternate{transcription}{ja-hira}
+ \alternate{transliteration}{ja-latn}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+For example, consider the following data with two multiscript entryfields
+(the logic is the same for lists and names):
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at ARTICLE{mstest,
+ LANGID = {lang4},
+ MSFIELD1 = {Value1},
+ MSFIELD1_form1_lang1 = {Value2},
+ MSFIELD1_form2_lang2 = {Value3},
+ MSFIELD1_form4_lang4 = {Value4},
+ MSFIELD2 = {Value5},
+ MSFIELD2_form1_lang1 = {Value6},
+ MSFIELD2_form3_lang3 = {Value7},
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+the values selected to be printed would be:
+{\footnotesize
+\begin{ltxexample}
+ % Assume global defaults of form=form1, lang=lang1
+
+ \DeclareMsselect{lang4}{
+ \alternate{form2}{lang2}
+ }
+
+ % Explicit form/lang
+ \printfield[form1][lang1]{MSFIELD1} => "Value2"
+ \printfield[form3][lang3]{MSFIELD1} => ""
+ \printfield[form1][lang1]{MSFIELD2} => "Value6"
+
+ % global form/lang alternates exist for both fields
+ \printfield{MSFIELD1} => "Value2"
+ \printfield{MSFIELD2} => "Value6"
+
+ % refcontext can change defaults for form/lang
+ % but doesn't effect explicit form/lang
+ \newrefcontext[msform=form3,mslang=lang3]
+ \printfield[form1][lang1]{MSFIELD1} => "Value2"
+ \printfield[form3][lang3]{MSFIELD1} => ""
+ \printfield[form1][lang1]{MSFIELD2} => "Value6"
+
+ % MSFIELD2 has a value for refcontext default form3/lang3
+ \printfield{MSFIELD2} => "Value7"
+
+ % MSFIELD1 does not have an alternate for refcontext
+ % default form3/lang3 but due to \DeclareMsselect, we
+ % can use form2/lang2 for MSFIELD1
+ \printfield{MSFIELD1} => "Value3"
+
+ \newrefcontext[msform=form4,mslang=lang4]
+ \printfield{MSFIELD1} => "Value4"
+ % MSFIELD2 does not have an alternate for refcontext
+ % default form4/lang4 alternate for MSFIELD2, also there
+ % is no form2/lang2 in the select list for the LANGID
+ % of the entry and no form1/lang4 alternate
+ \printfield{MSFIELD2} => ""
+\end{ltxexample}
+}
+\section{Author Guide}
+\label{aut}
+
+This part of the manual documents the author interface of the \biblatex package. The author guide covers everything you need to know in order to write new citation and bibliography styles or localisation modules. You should read the user guide first before continuing with this part of the manual.
+
+\subsection{Overview}
+\label{aut:int}
+
+Before we get to the commands and facilities provided by \biblatex, we will have a look at some of its fundamental concepts. The \biblatex package uses auxiliary files in a special way. Most notably, the \file{bbl} file is used differently and there is no concept of a style-dependent \file{bst} file. With \latex's standard bibliographic facilities, a document includes any number of citation commands in the document body plus \cmd{bibliographystyle} and \cmd{bibliography}, usually towards the end of the document. The location of the former is arbitrary, the latter marks the spot where the list of references is to be printed:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\documentclass{...}
+\begin{document}
+\cite{...}
+...
+\bibliographystyle{...}
+\bibliography{...}
+\end{document}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Processing this files requires that a certain procedure be followed. This procedure is as follows:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+
+\item Run \bin{latex}: On the first run, \cmd{bibstyle} and \cmd{bibdata} commands are written to the \file{aux} file, along with \cmd{citation} commands for all citations. At this point, the references are undefined because \latex is waiting for \bibtex to supply the required data. There is also no bibliography yet.
+
+\item Run \bin{bibtex}: \bibtex writes a \env{thebibliography} environment to the \file{bbl} file, supplying all entries from the \file{bib} file which were requested by the \cmd{citation} commands in the \file{aux} file.
+
+\item Run \bin{latex}: Starting with the second run, the \cmd{bibitem} commands in the \env{thebibliography} environment write one \cmd{bibcite} command for each bibliography entry to the \file{aux} file. These \cmd{bibcite} commands define the citation labels used by \cmd{cite}. However, the references are still undefined because the labels are not available until the end of this run.
+
+\item Run \bin{latex}: Starting with the third run, the citation labels are defined as the \file{aux} file is read in at the end of the preamble. All citations can now be printed.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+Note that all bibliographic data is written to the \file{bbl} file in the final format. The \file{bbl} file is read in and processed like any printable section of the document. For example, consider the following entry in a \file{bib} file:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at Book{companion,
+ author = {Michel Goossens and Frank Mittelbach and Alexander Samarin},
+ title = {The LaTeX Companion},
+ publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
+ address = {Reading, Mass.},
+ year = {1994},
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+With the \path{plain.bst} style, \bibtex exports this entry to the \file{bbl} file as follows:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\bibitem{companion}
+Michel Goossens, Frank Mittelbach, and Alexander Samarin.
+\newblock {\em The LaTeX Companion}.
+\newblock Addison-Wesley, Reading, Mass., 1994.
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+By default, \latex generates numeric citation labels, hence \cmd{bibitem} writes lines such as the following to the \file{aux} file:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\bibcite{companion}{1}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Implementing a different citation style implies that more data has to be transferred via the \file{aux} file. With the \sty{natbib} package, for example, the \file{aux} file contains lines like this one:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\bibcite{companion}{{1}{1994}{{Goossens et~al.}}{{Goossens, Mittelbach,
+and Samarin}}}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The \biblatex package supports citations in any arbitrary format, hence citation commands need access to all bibliographic data. What this would mean within the scope of the procedure outlined above becomes obvious when looking at the output of the \sty{jurabib} package which also makes all bibliographic data available in citations:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\bibcite{companion}{{Goossens\jbbfsasep Mittelbach\jbbstasep Samarin}%
+ {}{{0}{}{book}{1994}{}{}{}{}{Reading, Mass.\bpubaddr{}Addison-Wesley%
+ \bibbdsep{} 1994}}{{The LaTeX Companion}{}{}{2}{}{}{}{}{}}{\bibnf
+ {Goossens}{Michel}{M.}{}{}\Bibbfsasep\bibnf{Mittelbach}{Frank}{F.}%
+ {}{}\Bibbstasep\bibnf{Samarin}{Alexander}{A.}{}{}}{\bibtfont{The
+ LaTeX Companion}.\ \apyformat{Reading, Mass.\bpubaddr{}
+ Addison-Wesley\bibbdsep{} 1994}}}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+In this case, the contents of the entire \env{thebibliography} environment are effectively transferred via the \file{aux} file. The data is read from the \file{bbl} file, written to the \file{aux} file, read back from the \file{aux} file and then kept in memory. The bibliography itself is still generated as the \file{bbl} file is read in. The \biblatex package would also be forced to cycle all data through the \file{aux} file. This implies processing overhead and is also redundant because the data has to be kept in memory anyway.
+
+The traditional procedure is based on the assumption that the full bibliographic data of an entry is only required in the bibliography and that all citations use short labels. This makes it very effective in terms of memory requirements, but it also implies that it does not scale well. That is why \biblatex takes a different approach. First of all, the document structure is slightly different. Instead of using \cmd{bibliography} in the document body, database files are specified in the preamble with \cmd{addbibresource}, \cmd{bibliographystyle} is omitted entirely (all features are controlled by package options), and the bibliography is printed using \cmd{printbibliography}:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\documentclass{...}
+\usepackage[...]{biblatex}
+\addbibresource{...}
+\begin{document}
+\cite{...}
+...
+\printbibliography
+\end{document}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+In order to streamline the whole procedure, \biblatex essentially employs the \file{bbl} file like an \file{aux} file, rendering \cmd{bibcite} obsolete. We then get the following procedure:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+
+\item Run \bin{latex}: The first step is similar to the traditional procedure described above: \cmd{bibstyle} and \cmd{bibdata} commands are written to th \file{bcf} file, along with \cmd{citation} commands for all citations. We then wait for the backend to supply the required data.
+
+\item Run \bin{biber}: The backend supplies those entries from the \file{bib} file which were requested by the \cmd{citation} commands in the auxiliary file. However, it does not write a printable bibliography to the \file{bbl} file, but rather a structured representation of the bibliographic data. Just like an \file{aux} file, this \file{bbl} file does not print anything when read in. It merely puts data in memory.
+
+\item Run \bin{latex}: Starting with the second run, the \file{bbl} file is processed right at the beginning of the document body, just like an \file{aux} file. From this point on, all bibliographic data is available in memory so that all citations can be printed right away.\footnote{If the \opt{defernumbers} package option is enabled \biblatex uses an algorithm similar to the traditional procedure to generate numeric labels. In this case, the numbers are assigned as the bibliography is printed and then cycled through the backend auxiliary file. It will take an additional \latex run for them to be picked up in citations.} The citation commands have access to the complete bibliographic data, not only to a predefined label. The bibliography is generated from memory using the same data and may be filtered or split as required.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+Let's consider the sample entry given above once more:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at Book{companion,
+ author = {Michel Goossens and Frank Mittelbach and Alexander Samarin},
+ title = {The LaTeX Companion},
+ publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
+ address = {Reading, Mass.},
+ year = {1994},
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+This entry is essentially exported in the following format:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\entry{companion}{book}{}
+ \labelname{author}{3}{}{%
+ {{uniquename=0,hash=...}{Goossens}{G.}{Michel}{M.}{}{}{}{}}%
+ {{uniquename=0,hash=...}{Mittelbach}{M.}{Frank}{F.}{}{}{}{}}%
+ {{uniquename=0,hash=...}{Samarin}{S.}{Alexander}{A.}{}{}{}{}}%
+ }
+ \name{author}{3}{}{%
+ {{uniquename=0,hash=...}{Goossens}{G.}{Michel}{M.}{}{}{}{}}%
+ {{uniquename=0,hash=...}{Mittelbach}{M.}{Frank}{F.}{}{}{}{}}%
+ {{uniquename=0,hash=...}{Samarin}{S.}{Alexander}{A.}{}{}{}{}}%
+ }
+ \list{publisher}{1}{%
+ {Addison-Wesley}%
+ }
+ \list{location}{1}{%
+ {Reading, Mass.}%
+ }
+ \field{title}{The LaTeX Companion}
+ \field{year}{1994}
+\endentry
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+As seen in this example, the data is presented in a structured format that resembles the structure of a \file{bib} file to some extent. At this point, no decision concerning the final format of the bibliography entry has been made. The formatting of the bibliography and all citations is controlled by \latex macros, which are defined in bibliography and citation style files.
+
+\subsection{Bibliography Styles}
+\label{aut:bbx}
+
+A bibliography style is a set of macros which print the entries in the bibliography. Such styles are defined in files with the suffix \file{bbx}. The \biblatex package loads the selected bibliography style file at the end of the package. Note that a small repertory of frequently used macros shared by several of the standard bibliography styles is included in \path{biblatex.def}. This file is loaded at the end of the package as well, prior to the selected bibliography style.
+
+\subsubsection{Bibliography Style Files}
+\label{aut:bbx:bbx}
+
+Before we go over the individual components of a bibliography style, consider this example of the overall structure of a typical \file{bbx} file:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\ProvidesFile{example.bbx}[2006/03/15 v1.0 biblatex bibliography style]
+
+\defbibenvironment{bibliography}
+ {...}

+%
+The main structure of a bibliography style file consists of the following commands:
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{RequireBibliographyStyle}{style}
+
+This command is optional and intended for specialized bibliography styles built on top of a more generic style. It loads the bibliography style \path{style.bbx}.
+
+\cmditem{InitializeBibliographyStyle}{code}
+
+Specifies arbitrary \prm{code} to be inserted at the beginning of the bibliography, but inside the group formed by the bibliography. This command is optional. It may be useful for definitions which are shared by several bibliography drivers but not used outside the bibliography. Keep in mind that there may be several bibliographies in a document. If the bibliography drivers make any global assignments, they should be reset at the beginning of the next bibliography.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareBibliographyDriver}{entrytype}{code}
+
+Defines a bibliography driver. A <driver> is a macro which handles a specific entry type (when printing bibliography lists) or a specific named bibliography list (when printing bibliography lists). The \prm{entrytype} corresponds to the entry type used in \file{bib} files, specified in lowercase letters (see \secref{bib:typ}). The \prm{entrytype} argument may also be an asterisk. In this case, the driver serves as a fallback which is used if no specific driver for the entry type has been defined. The \prm{code} is arbitrary code which typesets all bibliography entries of the respective \prm{entrytype}. This command is mandatory. Every bibliography style should provide a driver for each entry type.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareBibliographyAlias}{alias}{entrytype}
+
+If a bibliography driver covers more than one entry type, this command may be used to define an alias where \prm{entrytype} is the name of a defined driver. This command is optional. The \prm{alias} argument may also be an asterisk. In this case, the \prm{entrytype} driver serves as a fallback which is used if no specific driver for an entry has been defined.
+
+Note that an alias declared with \cmd{DeclareBibliographyAlias} only <reroutes> the bibliography driver from \prm{alias} to \prm{entrytype}. Type-specific formatting directives still operate with the old \prm{alias} name. \cmd{DeclareBibliographyAlias} thus provides only a <soft> alias. If a complete alias is desired so that \prm{alias} and \prm{entrytype} are completely indistinguishable and use the same type-specific formatting, an approach with source mapping would be more appropriate (cf.~the mappings for \secref{bib:typ:als} in \secref{apx:maps:bibtex}, this would give a <hard> alias).
+
+\cmditem{DeclareBibliographyOption}[datatype]{key}[value]{code}
+
+This command defines additional preamble options in \keyval format. The \prm{key} is the option key. The \prm{code} is arbitrary \tex code to be executed whenever the option is used. The value passed to the option is passed on to the \prm{code} as |#1|. The optional \prm{value} is a default value to be used if the bare key is given without any value. This is useful for boolean switches.
+The \prm{datatype} is a the datatype for the option. If omitted, it defaults to <boolean>. For example, with a definition like the following:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareBibliographyOption[boolean]{somekey}[true]{...}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+giving <\texttt{somekey}> without a value is equivalent to <\kvopt{somekey}{true}>. Valid \prm{datatype} values are defined in the default \biber Datamodel as:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareDatamodelConstant[type=list]{optiondatatypes}{boolean,integer,string,xml}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareTypeOption}[datatype]{key}[value]{code}
+
+Similar to \cmd{DeclareBibliographyOption} but defines options which are settable on a per"=type basis using the optional argument of \cmd{ExecuteBibliographyOptions} (see \secref{use:cfg:opt}). The \prm{code} is executed whenever \biblatex prepares the data of an entry of the type for which the option has been set for use by a citation command or a bibliography driver.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareEntryOption}[datatype]{key}[value]{code}
+
+Similar to \cmd{DeclareBibliographyOption} but defines options which are settable on a per"=entry basis in the \bibfield{options} field from \secref{bib:fld:spc}. The \prm{code} is executed whenever \biblatex prepares the data of the entry for use by a citation command or a bibliography driver.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareBiblatexOption}{scope,\dots}[datatype]{key}[value]{code}
+
+This command is a convenient interface to declare an option for several scopes at once. The \prm{scope} argument may be a comma"=separated list of scopes for which the option will be declared. Currently the scopes \opt{global}, \opt{type}, \opt{entry}, \opt{namelist} and \opt{name} are supported, the first three of which are equivalent to defining the option with \cmd{DeclareBibliographyOption}, \cmd{DeclareTypeOption} and \cmd{DeclareEntryOption}, respectively.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Bibliography Environments}
+\label{aut:bbx:env}
+
+Apart from defining bibliography drivers, the bibliography style is also responsible for the environments which control the layout of the bibliography and bibliography lists. These environments are defined with \cmd{defbibenvironment}. By default, \cmd{printbibliography} uses the environment \opt{bibliography}. Here is a definition suitable for a bibliography style which does not print any labels in the bibliography:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\defbibenvironment{bibliography}
+ {\list
+ {}
+ {\setlength{\leftmargin}{\bibhang}%
+ \setlength{\itemindent}{-\leftmargin}%
+ \setlength{\itemsep}{\bibitemsep}%
+ \setlength{\parsep}{\bibparsep}}}
+ {\endlist}
+ {\item}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This definition employs a \env{list} environment with hanging indentation, using the \cmd{bibhang} length register provided by \biblatex. It allows for a certain degree of configurability by using \cmd{bibitemsep} and \cmd{bibparsep}, two length registers provided by \biblatex for this very purpose (see \secref{aut:fmt:len}). The \texttt{authoryear} and \texttt{authortitle} bibliography styles use a definition similar to this example.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\defbibenvironment{bibliography}
+ {\list
+ {\printfield[labelnumberwidth]{labelnumber}}
+ {\setlength{\labelwidth}{\labelnumberwidth}%
+ \setlength{\leftmargin}{\labelwidth}%
+ \setlength{\labelsep}{\biblabelsep}%
+ \addtolength{\leftmargin}{\labelsep}%
+ \setlength{\itemsep}{\bibitemsep}%
+ \setlength{\parsep}{\bibparsep}}%
+ \renewcommand*{\makelabel}[1]{\hss##1}}
+ {\endlist}
+ {\item}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Some bibliography styles print labels in the bibliography. For example, a bibliography style designed for a numeric citation scheme will print the number of every entry such that the bibliography looks like a numbered list. In the first example, the first argument to \cmd{list} was empty. In this example, we need it to insert the number, which is provided by \biblatex in the \bibfield{labelnumber} field. We also employ several length registers and other facilities provided by \biblatex, see \secref{aut:fmt:ich, aut:fmt:ilc} for details. The \texttt{numeric} bibliography style uses the definition given above. The \texttt{alphabetic} style is similar, except that \textsf{\texttt{labelnumber}} is replaced by \texttt{labelalpha} and \texttt{labelnumberwidth} by \texttt{labelalphawidth}.
+
+Bibliography lists are handled in a similar way. \cmd{printbiblist} uses the environment named after the bibliography list by default. A typical example is given below. See \secref{aut:fmt:ich, aut:fmt:ilc} for details on the length registers and facilities used in this example.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\defbibenvironment{shorthand}
+ {\list
+ {\printfield[shorthandwidth]{shorthand}}
+ {\setlength{\labelwidth}{\shorthandwidth}%
+ \setlength{\leftmargin}{\labelwidth}%
+ \setlength{\labelsep}{\biblabelsep}%
+ \addtolength{\leftmargin}{\labelsep}%
+ \setlength{\itemsep}{\bibitemsep}%
+ \setlength{\parsep}{\bibparsep}%
+ \renewcommand*{\makelabel}[1]{##1\hss}}}
+ {\endlist}
+ {\item}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\subsubsection{Bibliography Drivers}
+\label{aut:bbx:drv}
+
+Before we go over the commands which form the data interface of the \biblatex package, it may be instructive to have a look at the structure of a bibliography driver. Note that the example given below is greatly simplified, but still functional. For the sake of readability, we omit several fields which may be part of a \bibtype{book} entry and also simplify the handling of those which are considered. The main point is to give you an idea of how a driver is structured. For information about the mapping of the \bibtex file format fields to \biblatex's data types, see \secref{bib:fld}.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareBibliographyDriver{book}{%
+ \printnames{author}%
+ \newunit\newblock
+ \printfield{title}%
+ \newunit\newblock
+ \printlist{publisher}%
+ \newunit
+ \printlist{location}%
+ \newunit
+ \printfield{year}%
+ \finentry}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The standard bibliography styles employ two bibliography macros \texttt{begentry} and \texttt{finentry}:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareBibliographyDriver{<<entrytype>>}{%
+ \usebibmacro{begentry}
+ ...
+ \usebibmacro{finentry}}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+with the default definitions
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\newbibmacro*{begentry}{}
+\newbibmacro*{finentry}{\finentry}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Use of these macros is recommended for easy hooks into the beginning and end of the driver.
+
+Returning to the driver for the \texttt{book} entrytype above, there is still one piece missing: the formatting directives used by \cmd{printnames}, \cmd{printlist}, and \cmd{printfield}. To give you an idea of what a formatting directive looks like, here are some fictional ones used by our sample driver. Field formats are straightforward, the value of the field is passed to the formatting directive as an argument which may be formatted as desired. The following directive will simply wrap its argument in an \cmd{emph} command:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareFieldFormat{title}{\emph{#1}}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+List formats are slightly more complex. After splitting up the list into individual items, \biblatex will execute the formatting directive once for every item in the list. The item is passed to the directive as an argument. The separator to be inserted between the individual items in the list is also handled by the corresponding directive, hence we have to check whether we are in the middle of the list or at the end when inserting it.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareListFormat{location}{%
+ #1%
+ \ifthenelse{\value{listcount}<\value{liststop}}
+ {\addcomma\space}
+ {}}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Formatting directives for names are similar to those for literal lists.
+
+Names depend on the datamodel constant <nameparts> which has the default definition:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareDatamodelConstant[type=list]{nameparts}
+ {prefix,family,suffix,given}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This can be customised to add more name parts to deal with things like patronymics (see the example file \file{93-nameparts.tex}). This needs an extended name format for data sources since the standard \bibtex name format is very limited. \biblatexml (\secref{apx:biblatexml}) handles this natively and there is an extended name format which can handle custom nameparts when using \biber (see \secref{use:enf}).
+
+Inside name formats, the <nameparts> constant declaration makes available two or three macros for each name part defined in the datamodel:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\namepart<namepart> \% The full <namepart>
+\namepart<namepart>i \% The initials of the <namepart>
+\namepart<namepart>un \% Numeric value indicating uniqueness level for <namepart>
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+\cmd{namepart<namepart>un} only exists if the package option \opt{uniquename} is not set to <false> and can take the following values.
+
+\begin{argumentlist}{00}
+\item[0] <namepart> was not used in disambiguating the name (because \opt{disambiguation=none} was set in \cmd{DeclareUniquenameTemplate}, see \secref{aut:cav:amb}). In this case the style should decide what to print for this <namepart>
+\item[1] Initials only should be printed for <namepart> to ensure uniqueness according to the \opt{uniquename} package option setting
+\item[2] The full <namepart> should be printed to ensure uniqueness according to the \opt{uniquename} package option setting
+\end{argumentlist}
+
+Note these per-namepart uniqueness macros are essentially an override of the \opt{uniquename} value (see \secref{aut:aux:tst}) for the name as a whole. Styles can choose to use either the less granular \opt{uniquename} value or the more detailed per-namepart values. Usually the general \opt{uniquename} value is enough for ordinary Western names but the more granular information per-namepart is provided to allow sophisticated name uniqueness processing for more complex name schemata.
+
+For multiscript name lists, these macros refer to the particular name list multiscript alternate being printed. It is also useful to be able to access alternates of the particular name list item being printed and so all available alternates of the current name list item are available in name formats via macros:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\namepart<namepart><msform><mslang>
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Note that <mslang> is a BCP47 tag which may contain hyphens and so raw macro use will not work. It is therefore safer to refer to these macros with \cmd{csuse} e.g.:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\csuse{namepartfamilydefaulten-us}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Also note that any \sty{babel} shorthands in the value of these macros will not work as they are automatically defined in the preamble.
+%
+The name formatting directive is executed once for each name in the name list. Here is a simplified example---the standard name formats are more intricate:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareNameFormat{author}{%
+ \ifthenelse{\value{listcount}=1}
+ {\namepartfamily%
+ \ifdefvoid{\namepartgiven}{}{\addcomma\space\namepartgiven}}
+ {\ifdefvoid{\namepartgiven}{}{\namepartgiven\space}%
+ \namepartfamily}%
+ \ifthenelse{\value{listcount}<\value{liststop}}
+ {\addcomma\space}
+ {}}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The above directive reverses the name of the first author («Family, Given») and prints the remaining names in their regular sequence («Given Family»). Note that the only component which is guaranteed to be available is the family name, hence we have to check which parts of the name are actually present. If a certain name part is not available, the corresponding macro will be empty. As with directives for literal lists, the separator to be inserted between the individual items in the name list is also handled by the formatting directive, hence we have to check whether we are in the middle of the list or at the end when inserting it. This is what the second \cmd{ifthenelse} test does. See also \secref{aut:bib:fmt}.
+
+A similar output that also respects the \cmd{multinamedelim} and \cmd{finalnamedelim} commands as well as the <prefix> and <suffix> name parts can be achieved with
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareNameAlias{author}{family-given/given-family}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\subsubsection{Special Fields}
+\label{aut:bbx:fld}
+
+The following lists and fields are used by \biblatex to pass data to bibliography drivers and citation commands. They are not used in \file{bib} files but defined automatically by the package. From the perspective of a bibliography or citation style, they are not different from the fields in a \file{bib} file.
+
+\paragraph{Generic Fields}
+\label{aut:bbx:fld:gen}
+
+\begin{fieldlist}
+
+\fielditem{$<$datetype$>$dateunspecified}{string}
+
+If $<$datetype$>$date held an \acr{ISO8601-2} 4.3 <unspecified>, this field will be set to one of \opt{yearindecade}, \opt{yearincentury}, \opt{monthinyear}, \opt{dayinmonth} or \opt{dayinyear} which specifies the granularity of the unspecified information. These strings can be tested for and along with the date ranges which are automatically created for such <unspecified> dates, a style may choose to format the date in a special way. See \secref{bib:use:dat}. For example, an entry with dates such as:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at book{key,
+ date = {19uu},
+ origdate = {199u}
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+would result in the same information in the \file{.bbl} as:
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at book{key,
+ date = {1900/1999},
+ origdate = {1990/1999}
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+but would additionally have the field \bibfield{dateunspecified} set to <yearincentury> and \bibfield{origdateunspecified} set to <yearindecade>. This information could be used to render the \bibfield{date} as perhaps <20th century> and \bibfield{origdate} as <The 1990s>, information which cannot be derived from the date ranges alone. Since such auto-generated ranges have known values, given the <unspecified> meta-information, it is relatively easy to use the range values to format special cases. While the standard styles do not do this, examples are given in the file \file{96-dates.tex}.
+
+\fielditem{entrykey}{string}
+
+The entry key of an item in the \file{bib} file. This is the string used by \biblatex and the backend to identify an entry in the \file{bib} file.
+
+Note that the set of characters allowed and usable in the string for \bibfield{entrykey} depends on the backend (\biber, \bibtex) as well as the \latex engine (\pdflatex, \lualatex, \xelatex).
+Generally, \acr{US-ASCII}-letters (\texttt{a-z}, \texttt{A-Z}) and numbers (\texttt{0-9}) are safe, so are the punctuation characters full stop (\texttt{.}) and solidus (\texttt{/}). The punctuation characters \texttt{-\_:;!?} are also safe even if they are made active by \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia}. If a Unicode engine is used, non-\acr{US-ASCII} characters are also acceptable.
+Curly braces (\texttt{\{\}}), commas, spaces, backslashes (\texttt{\textbackslash}), hashes (\texttt{\#}), percent characters (\texttt{\%}) and tildes (\texttt{\textasciitilde}) are always forbidden. \biber additionally forbids round brackets (\texttt{()}), quotation marks (\texttt{\textquotedbl}, \texttt{\textquotesingle}), and the equals sign (\texttt{=}).
+The \bibfield{entrykey} is case sensitive, but it is not recommended to exploit that fact too much by introducing two different entries whose key differs only in capitalisation (\eg\ \texttt{sigfridsson} and \texttt{Sigfridsson}).
+For full portability it is advisable to stick to a scheme of lowercase (and if so desired uppercase) \acr{US-ASCII}-letters, numbers and a small set of acceptable punctuation characters, say \texttt{.:-}.
+
+\fielditem{childentrykey}{string}
+
+This field is no longer necessary or recommended.\DeprecatedMark For backwards
+compatibility, it is merely a copy of the \bibfield{entrykey} field in any
+set children.
+
+\fielditem{labelnamesource}{literal}
+
+Holds the name of the field used to populate \bibfield{labelname},
+determined by \cmd{DeclareLabelname}.
+
+\fielditem{labeltitlesource}{literal}
+
+Holds the name of the field used to populate \bibfield{labeltitle},
+determined by \cmd{DeclareLabeltitle}.
+
+\fielditem{labeldatesource}{literal}
+
+Holds one of:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item The prefix coming before <date> of the date field name chosen by
+ \cmd{DeclareLabeldate}
+\item The name of a field
+\item A literal or localisation string
+\end{itemize}
+%
+Normally holds the prefix coming before <date> of the date field name chosen by \cmd{DeclareLabeldate}. For example, if the labeldate field is \bibfield{eventdate}, then \bibfield{labeldatesource} will be <event>. In case \cmd{DeclareLabeldate} selects the \bibfield{date} field, then \bibfield{labeldatesource} will be defined but will be an empty string as the prefix coming before <date> in the date label name is empty. This is so that the contents of \bibfield{labeldatesource} can be used in constructing references to the field which \cmd{DeclareLabeldate} chooses. Since \cmd{DeclareLabeldate} can also select literal strings for fallbacks, \bibfield{labeldatesource} may not refer to a field or may be undefined. Bear in mind that \cmd{DeclareLabeldate} can also be used to select non-date fields as a fallback and so \bibfield{labeldatesource} might contain a field name. So, in summary, the rules are
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\iffieldundef{labeldatesource}
+ {}% labeldate package option is not set
+ {\iffieldundef{\thefield{labeldatesource}year}
+ % \DeclareLabeldate resolved to either a literal/localisation
+ % string or a non-date field since
+ % if a date is defined by a date field, there is
+ % at least a year
+ {\iffieldundef{\thefield{labeldatesource}}
+ {}% \DeclareLabeldate resolved to a literal/localisation string
+ {}% \DeclareLabeldate resolved to a non-date field
+ }
+ {} % \DeclareLabeldate resolved a date field name prefix like "" or "orig"
+ }
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\fielditem{entrytype}{string}
+
+The entry type (\bibtype{book}, \bibtype{inbook}, etc.), given in lowercase letters.
+
+\fielditem{childentrytype}{string}
+
+This field is no longer necessary or recommended.\DeprecatedMark For backwards
+compatibility, it is merely a copy of the \bibfield{entrytype} field in any
+set children.
+
+\fielditem{entrysetcount}{integer}
+
+This field holds an integer indicating the position of a set member in the entry set (starting at \texttt{1}). This field is only available in the subentries of an entry set.
+
+\fielditem{hash}{string}
+
+This field is special in that it is only available locally in name formatting directives. It holds a hash string which uniquely identifies individual names in a name list. This information is available for all names in all name lists. See also \bibfield{namehash} and \bibfield{fullhash}.
+
+\fielditem{namehash}{string}
+
+A hash string which uniquely identifies the \bibfield{labelname} list. This is useful for recurrence checks. For example, a citation style which replaces recurrent authors or editors with a string like <idem> could save the \bibfield{namehash} field with \cmd{savefield} and use it in a comparison with \cmd{iffieldequals} later (see \secref{aut:aux:dat, aut:aux:tst}). The \bibfield{namehash} is derived from the truncated \bibfield{labelname} list, \ie it is responsive to \opt{maxcitenames} and \opt{mincitenames}. See also \bibfield{hash} and \bibfield{fullhash}.
+
+\fielditem{bibnamehash}{string}
+
+As \bibfield{namehash} but responsive to \opt{maxbibnames} and
+\opt{minbibnames}. This is not used in standard styles but may be used to
+make tests in bibliography lists (such as those used to determine whether
+dashes should replace repeated authors) behave differently.
+
+\fielditem{$<$namelist$><$msform$><$mslang$>$namehash}{string}
+
+As \bibfield{namehash} for the name list <namelist> with multiscript form
+<msform> and multiscript language <mslang>. For example <\texttt{authortranslationdenamehash}>.
+
+\fielditem{$<$namelist$><$msform$><$mslang$>$bibnamehash}{string}
+
+As \bibfield{bibnamehash} for the name list <namelist> with multiscript form
+<msform> and multiscript language <mslang>. For example <\texttt{authortransliterationru-cyrlbibnamehash}>.
+
+\fielditem{fullhash}{string}
+
+A hash string which uniquely identifies the \bibfield{labelname} list. This fields differs from \bibfield{namehash} in two details: 1) The \bibfield{shortauthor} and \bibfield{shorteditor} lists are ignored when generating the hash. 2) The hash always refers to the full list, ignoring \opt{maxnames} and \opt{minnames}. See also \bibfield{hash} and \bibfield{namehash}.
+
+\fielditem{$<$namelist$><$msform$><$mslang$>$fullhash}{string}
+
+As \bibfield{fullhash} for the name list <namelist> with multiscript form
+<msform> and multiscript language <mslang>. For example <\texttt{authortranslationdefullhash}>.
+
+\listitem{pageref}{literal}
+
+If the \opt{backref} package option is enabled, this list holds the page numbers of the pages on which the respective bibliography entry is cited. If there are \env{refsection} environments in the document, the back references are local to the reference sections.
+
+\fielditem{sortinit}{literal}
+
+This field holds the initial character of the information used during sorting.
+
+\fielditem{sortinithash}{string}
+
+This field holds a hash of the (locale-specific) Unicode Collation Algorithm primary weight of the first extended grapheme cluster (essentially the first character) of the string used during sorting. This is useful when subdividing the bibliography alphabetically and is used internally by \cmd{bibinitsep} (see \secref{use:fmt:len}).
+
+\fielditem{clonesourcekey}{string}
+
+This field holds the entry key of the entry from which an entry was cloned. Clones are created for
+entries which are mentioned in \bibfield{related} fields as part of related entry processing, for example.
+
+\fielditem{urlraw}{verbatim}
+
+This is the unencoded, raw version of any \bibfield{url}. This is intended for use when the display version and clickable link version of a URL are different. This can be the case when the URL contains special or Unicode characters. In the case where no such characters occur, may be identical to the \bibfield{url}.
+\end{fieldlist}
+
+\paragraph{Fields for Use in Citation Labels}
+\label{aut:bbx:fld:lab}
+
+\begin{fieldlist}
+
+\fielditem{labelalpha}{literal}
+
+A label similar to the labels generated by the \path{alpha.bst} style of traditional \bibtex. This default label consists of initials drawn from the \bibfield{labelname} list plus the last two digits of the publication year. The \bibfield{label} field may be used to override its non"=numeric portion. If the \bibfield{label} field is defined, \biblatex will use its value and append the last two digits of the publication year when generating \bibfield{labelalpha}. The \bibfield{shorthand} field may be used to override the entire label. If defined, \bibfield{labelalpha} is the \bibfield{shorthand} rather than an automatically generated label. Users can specify a template used to construct the alphabetic label (see \secref{aut:ctm:lab}) and the default template mirrors the format mentioned for bibtex above. A complete <alphabetic> label consists of the fields \bibfield{labelalpha} plus \bibfield{extraalpha}. Note that the \bibfield{labelalpha} and \bibfield{extraalpha} fields need to be requested with the package option \opt{labelalpha} (\secref{use:opt:pre:int}). See also \bibfield{extraalpha} as well as \cmd{labelalphaothers} in \secref{use:fmt:fmt}.
+
+\fielditem{extraalpha}{integer}
+
+The <alphabetic> citation scheme usually requires a letter to be appended to the label if the bibliography contains two or more works by the same author which were all published in the same year. In this case, the \bibfield{extraalpha} field holds an integer which may be converted to a letter with \cmd{mknumalph} or formatted in some other way. This field is similar to the role of \bibfield{extradate} in the author"=year scheme. A complete <alphabetic> label consists of the fields \bibfield{labelalpha} plus \bibfield{extraalpha}. Note that the \bibfield{labelalpha} and \bibfield{extraalpha} fields need to be requested with the package option \opt{labelalpha}, see \secref{use:opt:pre:int} for details. See also \bibfield{labelalpha} as well as \cmd{labelalphaothers} in \secref{use:fmt:fmt}. Table \ref{use:opt:tab1} summarises the various \opt{extra*} disambiguation counters and what they track.
+
+\listitem{labelname}{name}
+
+The name to be printed in citations. This list is a copy of either the \bibfield{shortauthor}, the \bibfield{author}, the \bibfield{shorteditor}, the \bibfield{editor}, or the \bibfield{translator} list, which are normally checked for in this order. If no authors and editors are available, this list is undefined. Note that this list is also responsive to the \opt{use$<$name$>$}, options, see \secref{use:opt:bib}. Citation styles should use this list when printing the name in a citation. This list is provided for convenience only and does not carry any additional meaning.
+This field may be customized. See \secref{aut:ctm:fld} for details.
+
+\fielditem{extraname}{integer}
+
+Holds a count of the number of bibliography entries within a refsection which derive from the same \bibfield{labelname} list. This counter takes account of \opt{uniquename} settings (see \secref{use:opt:pre:int}). While not used by any standard styles, this field is useful in styles which wish to number bibliography entries on a per-\bibfield{labelname} basis. This field will only exist if there is a \bibfield{labelname}. The \bibfield{extraname} counter is related to, but conceptually different from \cmd{ifsingletitle} (see \secref{use:opt:pre:int} and \secref{aut:aux:tst}).
+
+\fielditem{labelnumber}{literal}
+
+The number of the bibliography entry, as required by numeric citation schemes. If the \bibfield{shorthand} field is defined, \biblatex does not assign a number to the respective entry. In this case \bibfield{labelnumber} is the shorthand rather than a number. Numeric styles must use the value of this field instead of a counter. Note that this field needs to be requested with the package option \opt{labelnumber}, see \secref{use:opt:pre:int} for details. Also see the package option \opt{defernumbers} in \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}.
+
+\fielditem{labelprefix}{literal}
+
+If the \opt{labelprefix} option of \cmd{newrefcontext} has been set in order to prefix all entries in a subbibliography with a fixed string, this string is available in the \bibfield{labelprefix} field of all affected entries. If no prefix has been set, the \bibfield{labelprefix} field of the respective entry is undefined. See the \opt{labelprefix} option of \cmd{newrefcontext} in \secref{use:bib:context} for details. If the \bibfield{shorthand} field is defined, \biblatex does not assign the prefix to the \bibfield{labelprefix} field of the respective entry. In this case, the \bibfield{labelprefix} field is undefined.
+
+\fielditem{labeltitle}{literal}
+
+The printable title of a work. In some circumstances, a style might need to choose a title from a list of a possible title fields. For example, citation styles printing short titles may want to print the \bibfield{shorttitle} field if it exists but otherwise print the \bibfield{title} field. The list of fields to be considered when constructing \bibfield{labeltitle} may be customized. See \secref{aut:ctm:fld} for details. Note that the \bibfield{extratitle} field needs to be requested with the package option \opt{labeltitle}, see \secref{use:opt:pre:int} for details. See also \bibfield{extratitle}. Note also that the \bibfield{extratitleyear} field needs to be requested with the package option \opt{labeltitleyear}. See also \bibfield{extratitleyear}.
+
+\fielditem{extratitle}{integer}
+
+It is sometimes useful, for example in author"=title citation schemes, to be able to disambiguate works with the same title. For works by the same \bibfield{labelname} with the same \bibfield{labeltitle}, the \bibfield{extratitle} field holds an integer which may be converted to a letter with \cmd{mknumalph} or formatted in some other way (or it can be merely used as a flag to say that some other field such as a date should be used in conjunction with the \bibfield{labeltitle} field). This field is undefined if there is only one work with the same \bibfield{labeltitle} by the same \bibfield{labelname} in the bibliography. Note that the \bibfield{extratitle} field needs to be requested with the package option \opt{labeltitle}, see \secref{use:opt:pre:int} for details. See also \bibfield{labeltitle}. Table \ref{use:opt:tab1} summarises the various \opt{extra*} disambiguation counters and what they track.
+
+\fielditem{extratitleyear}{integer}
+
+It is sometimes useful, for example in author"=title citation schemes, to be able to disambiguate works with the same title in the same year but with no author. For works with the same \bibfield{labeltitle} and with the same \bibfield{labelyear}, the \bibfield{extratitleyear} field holds an integer which may be converted to a letter with \cmd{mknumalph} or formatted in some other way (or it can be merely used as a flag to say that some other field such as a publisher should be used in conjunction with the \bibfield{labelyear} field). This field is undefined if there is only one work with the same \bibfield{labeltitle} and \bibfield{labelyear} in the bibliography. Note that the \bibfield{extratitleyear} field needs to be requested with the package option \opt{labeltitleyear}, see \secref{use:opt:pre:int} for details. See also \bibfield{labeltitleyear}. Table \ref{use:opt:tab1} summarises the various \opt{extra*} disambiguation counters and what they track.
+
+\fielditem{labelyear}{literal}
+
+The year of the date field selected by \cmd{DeclareLabeldate} (\secref{aut:ctm:fld}) or the \bibfield{year} field, for use in author-year labels. A complete author-year label consists of the fields \bibfield{labelyear} plus \bibfield{extradate}. Note that the \bibfield{labelyear} and \bibfield{extradate} fields need to be requested with the package option \opt{labeldateparts}, see \secref{use:opt:pre:int} for details. See also \bibfield{extradate}.
+
+\fielditem{labelendyear}{literal}
+
+The end year of the date field selected by \cmd{DeclareLabeldate} (\secref{aut:ctm:fld}) if the selected date is a range.
+
+\fielditem{labelmonth}{datepart}
+
+The month of the date field selected by \cmd{DeclareLabeldate} (\secref{aut:ctm:fld}), or the \bibfield{month} field for use in author-year labels. Note that the \bibfield{labelmonth} field needs to be requested with the package option \opt{labeldateparts}, see \secref{use:opt:pre:int} for details.
+
+\fielditem{labelendmonth}{datepart}
+
+The end month of the date field selected by \cmd{DeclareLabeldate} (\secref{aut:ctm:fld}) if the selected date is a range.
+
+\fielditem{labelday}{datepart}
+
+The month of the date field selected by \cmd{DeclareLabeldate} (\secref{aut:ctm:fld}) for use in author-year labels. Note that the \bibfield{labelday} field needs to be requested with the package option \opt{labeldateparts}, see \secref{use:opt:pre:int} for details.
+
+\fielditem{labelendday}{datepart}
+
+The end day of the date field selected by \cmd{DeclareLabeldate} (\secref{aut:ctm:fld}) if the selected date is a range.
+
+\fielditem{extradate}{integer}
+
+The author"=year citation scheme usually requires a letter to be appended to the year if the bibliography contains two or more works by the same author (actually the \bibfield{labelname}, which is usually the author by default but which need not be) which were all published in the same year. In this case, the \bibfield{extradate} field holds an integer which may be converted to a letter with \cmd{mknumalph} or formatted in some other way. This field is undefined if there is only one work by the author in the bibliography or if all works by the author have different publication years. A complete author-year label consists of the fields \bibfield{labelyear} plus \bibfield{extradate}. Note that the \bibfield{labelyear} and \bibfield{extradate} fields need to be requested with the package option \opt{labeldateparts}, see \secref{use:opt:pre:int} for details. See also \bibfield{labelyear}. Table \ref{use:opt:tab1} summarises the various \opt{extra*} disambiguation counters and what they track. Note that \biblatex allows a generalisation of this behaviour and the default context for \bibfield{extradate} disambiguation can be changed to allow other contexts than the author. The default will fall back to the \bibfield{labeltitle} if there is no \bibfield{labelname} (which is usually the author). See \cmd{DeclareExtradateContext} in \secref{aut:ctm:fld} to customise the \bibfield{extradate} context.
+
+\fielditem{extradatescope}{literal}
+
+This field contains the name of the most specific date part which determined the value of \bibfield{extradate}. It is not used by the standard styles but may be useful in controlling the placement of the \bibfield{extradate} field value. For example, if two works by the same author with dates <2020-05-04> and <2020-06-04> were disambiguated by \bibfield{extradate}, then \bibfield{extradatascope} would contain <labelyear> for both entries as the most specific difference is the (label)year. If the dates were <2020-05-04> and <2020-05-02>, then \bibfield{extradatascope} would contain <labelmonth>. See also \cmd{DeclareExtradate} (\secref{aut:ctm:fld}) which describes how to change the scope used to track dates.

+
+\paragraph{Date Component Fields}
+\label{aut:bbx:fld:dat}
+
+Note that it is possible to define new date fields in the datamodel which behave exactly like the default data model date fields described in this section.
+
+See \tabref{aut:bbx:fld:tab1} for an overview of how the date fields in \file{bib} files are related to the date fields provided by the style interface. When testing for a field like \bibfield{origdate} in a style, use code like:
+
+\begin{ltxcode}
+<<\iffieldundef>>{orig<<year>>}{...}{...}
+\end{ltxcode}
+%
+This will tell you if the corresponding date is defined at all. This test:
+
+\begin{ltxcode}
+<<\iffieldundef>>{orig<<endyear>>}{...}{...}
+\end{ltxcode}
+%
+will tell you if the corresponding date is defined and a (fully specified) range. This test:
+
+\begin{ltxcode}
+<<\iffieldequalstr>>{orig<<endyear>>}{}{...}{...}
+\end{ltxcode}
+%
+will tell you if the corresponding date is defined and an open"=ended range. Open"=ended ranges are indicated by an empty \texttt{endyear} component (as opposed to an undefined \texttt{endyear} component). See \secref{bib:use:dat} and \tabref{bib:use:tab1} on page~\pageref{bib:use:tab1} for further examples.

+
+\subsection{Citation Styles}
+\label{aut:cbx}
+
+A citation style is a set of commands such as \cmd{cite} which print different types of citations. Such styles are defined in files with the suffix \file{cbx}. The \biblatex package loads the selected citation style file at the end of the package. Note that a small repertory of frequently used macros shared by several of the standard citation styles is also included in \path{biblatex.def}. This file is loaded at the end of the package as well, prior to the selected citation style. It also contains the definitions of the commands from \secref{use:cit:txt}.
+
+\subsubsection{Citation Style Files}
+\label{aut:cbx:cbx}
+
+Before we go over the individual commands available in citation style files, consider this example of the overall structure of a typical \file{cbx} file:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\ProvidesFile{example.cbx}[2006/03/15 v1.0 biblatex citation style]
+
+\DeclareCiteCommand{\cite}{...}{...}{...}{...}
+\DeclareCiteCommand{\parencite}[\mkbibparens]{...}{...}{...}{...}
+\DeclareCiteCommand{\footcite}[\mkbibfootnote]{...}{...}{...}{...}
+\DeclareCiteCommand{\textcite}{...}{...}{...}{...}
+\endinput
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{RequireCitationStyle}{style}
+
+This command is optional and intended for specialized citation styles built on top of a more generic style. It loads the citation style \path{style.cbx}.
+
+\cmditem{InitializeCitationStyle}{code}
+
+Specifies arbitrary \prm{code} required to initialize or reset the citation style. This hook will be executed once at package load-time and every time the \cmd{citereset} command from \secref{use:cit:msc} is used. The \cmd{citereset} command also resets the internal citation trackers of this package. The reset will affect the \cmd{ifciteseen}, \cmd{ifentryseen}, \cmd{ifciteibid}, and \cmd{ifciteidem} tests discussed in \secref{aut:aux:tst}. When used in a \env{refsection} environment, the reset of the citation tracker is local to the current \env{refsection} environment.
+
+\cmditem{OnManualCitation}{code}
+
+Specifies arbitrary \prm{code} required for a partial reset of the citation style. This hook will be executed every time the \cmd{mancite} command from \secref{use:cit:msc} is used. It is particularly useful in citation styles which replace repeated citations by abbreviations like <ibidem> or <op. cit.> which may get ambiguous if automatically generated and manual citations are mixed. The \cmd{mancite} command also resets the internal <ibidem> and <idem> trackers of this package. The reset will affect the \cmd{ifciteibid} and \cmd{ifciteidem} tests discussed in \secref{aut:aux:tst}.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareCiteCommand}{command}[wrapper]{precode}{loopcode}{sepcode}{postcode} \cmditem*{DeclareCiteCommand*}{command}[wrapper]{precode}{loopcode}{sepcode}{postcode}
+
+This is the core command used to define all citation commands. It takes one optional and five mandatory arguments. The \prm{command} is the command to be defined, for example \cmd{cite}. If the optional \prm{wrapper} argument is given, the entire citation will be passed to the \prm{wrapper} as an argument, \ie the wrapper command must take one mandatory argument.\footnote{Typical examples of wrapper commands are \cmd{mkbibparens} and \cmd{mkbibfootnote}.} The \prm{precode} is arbitrary code to be executed at the beginning of the citation. It will typically handle the \prm{prenote} argument which is available in the \bibfield{prenote} field. It may also be used to initialize macros required by the \prm{loopcode}. The \prm{loopcode} is arbitrary code to be executed for each entry key passed to the \prm{command}. This is the core code which prints the citation labels or any other data. The \prm{sepcode} is arbitrary code to be executed after each iteration of the \prm{loopcode}. It will only be executed if a list of entry keys is passed to the \prm{command}. The \prm{sepcode} will usually insert some kind of separator, such as a comma or a semicolon. The \prm{postcode} is arbitrary code to be executed at the end of the citation. The \prm{postcode} will typically handle the \prm{postnote} argument which is available in the \bibfield{postnote} field.\footnote{The bibliographic data available to the \prm{loopcode} is the data of the entry currently being processed. In addition to that, the data of the first entry is available to the \prm{precode} and the data of the last one is available to the \prm{postcode}. <First> and <last> refer to the order in which the citations are printed. If the \opt{sortcites} package option is active, this is the order of the list after sorting. Note that no bibliographic data is available to the \prm{sepcode}.} The starred variant of \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand} defines a starred \prm{command}. For example, |\DeclareCiteCommand*{cite}| would define |\cite*|.\footnote{Note that the r!
egular variant of \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand} defines a starred version of the \prm{command} implicitly, unless the starred version has been defined before. This is intended as a fallback. The implicit definition is an alias for the regular variant.}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareMultiCiteCommand}{command}[wrapper]{cite}{delimiter}
+
+This command defines <multicite> commands (\secref{use:cit:mlt}). The \prm{command} is the multicite command to be defined, for example \cmd{cites}. It is automatically made robust. Multicite commands are built on top of backend commands defined with \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand} and the \prm{cite} argument specifies the name of the backend command to be used. Note that the wrapper of the backend command (\ie the \prm{wrapper} argument passed to \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand}) is ignored. Use the optional \prm{wrapper} argument to specify an alternative wrapper. The \prm{delimiter} is the string to be printed as a separator between the individual citations in the list. This will typically be \cmd{multicitedelim}. The following examples are real definitions taken from \path{biblatex.def}:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareMultiCiteCommand{\cites}%
+ {\cite}{\multicitedelim}
+\DeclareMultiCiteCommand{\parencites}[\mkbibparens]%
+ {\parencite}{\multicitedelim}
+\DeclareMultiCiteCommand{\footcites}[\mkbibfootnote]%
+ {\footcite}{\multicitedelim}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareAutoCiteCommand}{name}[position]{cite}{multicite}
+
+This command provides definitions for the \cmd{autocite} and \cmd{autocites} commands from \secref{use:cit:aut}. The definitions are enabled with the \opt{autocite} package option from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}. The \prm{name} is an identifier which serves as the value passed to the package option. The autocite commands are built on top of backend commands like \cmd{parencite} and \cmd{parencites}. The arguments \prm{cite} and \prm{multicite} specify the backend commands to use. The \prm{cite} argument refers to \cmd{autocite} and \prm{multicite} refers to \cmd{autocites}. The \prm{position} argument controls the handling of any punctuation marks after the citation. Possible values are \texttt{l}, \texttt{r}, \texttt{f}. \texttt{r} means that the punctuation is placed to the right of the citation, \ie it will not be moved around. \texttt{l} means that any punctuation after the citation is moved to the left of the citation. \texttt{f} is like \texttt{r} in a footnote and like \texttt{l} otherwise. This argument is optional and defaults to \texttt{r}. See also \cmd{DeclareAutoPunctuation} in \secref{aut:pct:cfg} and the \opt{autopunct} package option in \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}. The following examples are real definitions taken from \path{biblatex.def}:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareAutoCiteCommand{plain}{\cite}{\cites}
+\DeclareAutoCiteCommand{inline}{\parencite}{\parencites}
+\DeclareAutoCiteCommand{footnote}[l]{\footcite}{\footcites}
+\DeclareAutoCiteCommand{footnote}[f]{\smartcite}{\smartcites}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+A definition provided in the document preamble can be subsequently adopted with the following: (see \secref{use:cfg:opt}).
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\ExecuteBibliographyOptions{autocite=<<name>>}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareCitePunctuationPosition}{command}{position}
+
+Set up the cite command \prm{command} to move punctuation marks after the citation like \cmd{autocite}. The \prm{position} argument can take the values \opt{r}, \opt{l}, \opt{f}, \opt{c}, \opt{o} and \opt{d}.
+If an unknown \prm{position} identifier is used, it defaults to \opt{o}.
+\begin{valuelist}
+\item[r] The punctuation mark is not moved and remains to the right of the citation.
+\item[l] The punctuation mark is moved to the left of the citation and thus appears before it.
+\item[f] Like \opt{r} in footnotes and like \opt{l} otherwise.
+\item[c] Pass the punctuation on to the internal implementation of the citation commands. It will then be executed within the \prm{wrapper} command if given.
+\item[o] Retain the default setup of \opt{c} for citation defined commands without \prm{wrapper} command and \opt{l} for citation commands defined with a \prm{wrapper} command.
+\item[d] Drop the explicit punctuation mark. It will only be available as the field \bibfield{postpunct}.
+\end{valuelist}
+%
+This command can not be used for \cmd{autocite}, to configure \cmd{autocite} use the optional \prm{position} argument for \cmd{DeclareAutoCiteCommand}.
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Special Fields}
+\label{aut:cbx:fld}
+
+The following fields are used by \biblatex to pass data to citation commands. They are not used in \file{bib} files but defined automatically by the package. From the perspective of a citation style, they are not different from the fields in a \file{bib} file. See also \secref{aut:bbx:fld}.
+
+\begin{fieldlist}
+
+\fielditem{prenote}{literal}
+
+The \prm{prenote} argument passed to a citation command. This field is specific to citations and not available in the bibliography. If the \prm{prenote} argument is missing or empty, this field is undefined.
+
+\fielditem{postnote}{literal}
+
+The \prm{postnote} argument passed to a citation command. This field is specific to citations and not available in the bibliography. If the \prm{postnote} argument is missing or empty, this field is undefined.
+
+\fielditem{multiprenote}{literal}
+
+The \prm{multiprenote} argument passed to a multicite command. This field is specific to citations and not available in the bibliography. If the \prm{multiprenote} argument is missing or empty, this field is undefined.
+
+\fielditem{multipostnote}{literal}
+
+The \prm{multipostnote} argument passed to a multicite command. This field is specific to citations and not available in the bibliography. If the \prm{multipostnote} argument is missing or empty, this field is undefined.
+
+\fielditem{volcitevolume}{literal}
+
+The \prm{volume} argument passed to \cmd{volcite} or a related citation command (\secref{use:cit:spc}). This field is specific to \cmd{volcite} citations and not available in the bibliography or other citations.
+
+\fielditem{volcitepages}{literal}
+
+The \prm{pages} argument passed to \cmd{volcite} or a related citation command (\secref{use:cit:spc}). This field is specific to \cmd{volcite} citations and not available in the bibliography or other citations. If the \prm{pages} argument is missing or empty, this field is undefined.
+
+\fielditem{postpunct}{punctuation command}
+
+The trailing punctuation argument implicitly passed to a citation command. This field is specific to citations and not available in the bibliography. If the character following a given citation command is not specified in \cmd{DeclareAutoPunctuation} (\secref{aut:pct:cfg}), this field is undefined.
+
+\end{fieldlist}
+
+\subsection{Data Interface}
+\label{aut:bib}
+
+The data interface are the facilities used to format and print all bibliographic data. These facilities are available in both bibliography and citation styles.
+
+\subsubsection{Data Commands}
+\label{aut:bib:dat}
+
+This section introduces the main data interface of the \biblatex package. These are the commands doing most of the work, \ie they actually print the data provided in lists and fields.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeprecateField}{field}{message}
+\cmditem{DeprecateList}{list}{message}
+\cmditem{DeprecateName}{name}{message}
+
+When an attempt is made to print \prm{field}, \prm{list}, \prm{name}, a
+deprecation warning is issued with the additional \prm{message}. This aids
+style authors who are changing field names in their style. Note that the
+deprecated item must no longer be defined in the datamodel for this to work;
+\prm{field}, \prm{list} or \prm{name} cannot be listed anywhere as an
+argument to \cmd{DeclareDatamodelFields}.
+
+\cmditem{DeprecateFieldWithReplacement}{field}{replacement}
+\cmditem{DeprecateListWithReplacement}{list}{replacement}
+\cmditem{DeprecateNameWithReplacement}{name}{replacement}
+
+Similar to \cmd{DeprecateField}, \cmd{DeprecateList} and
+\cmd{DeprecateName}. The commands do not only issue a deprecation warning,
+they try to define a replacement for the deprecated field that is printed
+in its stead. The \cmd{replacement} must be of the same type as the
+deprecated \prm{field}, \prm{list} or \prm{name}. If the \prm{field},
+\prm{list} or \prm{name} is multiscript enabled, \prm{replacement} must
+also be. If the formatting of \prm{replacement} should be applied when
+printing the deprecated field, that needs to be requested with
+\cmd{DeclareFieldAlias} (see \secref{aut:bib:fmt}). Note that the
+deprecated item must no longer be defined in the datamodel for this work;
+\prm{field}, \prm{list} or \prm{name} cannot be listed anywhere as an
+argument to \cmd{DeclareDatamodelFields}.
+
+\cmditem{printfield}[format][msform][mslang]{field}
+
+This command prints a \prm{field} (for a multiscript field, \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang} may be specified, otherwise, see \secref{use:multiscript:select} for the rules which select the form/lang alternate to print) using the formatting directive \prm{format}, as defined with \cmd{DeclareFieldFormat}. If a type"=specific \prm{format} has been declared, the type"=specific formatting directive takes precedence over the generic one. If the \prm{field} is undefined, nothing is printed. If the \prm{format} is omitted, \cmd{printfield} tries using the name of the field as a format name. For example, if the \bibfield{title} field is to be printed and the \prm{format} is not specified, it will try to use the field format \texttt{title}.\footnote{In other words, \texttt{\textbackslash printfield\{title\}} is equivalent to \texttt{\textbackslash printfield[title]\{title\}}.} In this case, any type"=specific formatting directive will also take precedence over the generic one. If all of these formats are undefined, it falls back to \texttt{default} as a last resort. Note that \cmd{printfield} provides the name of the field currently being processed in \cmd{currentfield} for use in field formatting directives.
+
+\cmditem{printlist}[format][start\ensuremath\rangle--\ensuremath\langle stop][msform][mslang]{literal list}
+
+This command loops over all items in a \prm{literal list} (for a multiscript list, \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang} may be specified, otherwise, see \secref{use:multiscript:select} for the rules which select the form/lang alternate to print), starting at item number \prm{start} and stopping at item number \prm{stop}, including \prm{start} and \prm{stop} (all lists are numbered starting at~1). Each item is printed using the formatting directive \prm{format}, as defined with \cmd{DeclareListFormat}. If a type"=specific \prm{format} has been declared, the type"=specific formatting directive takes precedence over the generic one. If the \prm{literal list} is undefined, nothing is printed. If the \prm{format} is omitted, \cmd{printlist} tries using the name of the list as a format name. In this case, any type"=specific formatting directive will also take precedence over the generic one. If all of these formats are undefined, it falls back to \texttt{default} as a last resort. The \prm{start} argument defaults to 1; \prm{stop} defaults to the total number of items in the list. If the total number is greater than \prm{maxitems}, \prm{stop} defaults to \prm{minitems} (see \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}). See \cmd{printnames} for further details. Note that \cmd{printlist} provides the name of the literal list currently being processed in \cmd{currentlist} for use in list formatting directives.
+
+In multiscript lists, macros of the format:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\listitem<msform><mslang>
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Are available for all valid combinations of <msform> and <mslang>. They refer to alternates of the current list item. Note that <mslang> is a BCP47 tag which may contain hyphens and so raw macro use will not work. It is therefore safer to refer to these macros with \cmd{csuse} e.g.:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\csuse{listitemdefaulten-us}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Note that any \sty{babel} shorthands in the value of these macros will not work as they are automatically defined in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{printnames}[format][start\ensuremath\rangle--\ensuremath\langle stop][msform][mslang]{name list}
+
+This command loops over all items in a \prm{name list} (for a multiscript name, \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang} may be specified, otherwise, see \secref{use:multiscript:select} for the rules which select the form/lang alternate to print), starting at item number \prm{start} and stopping at item number \prm{stop}, including \prm{start} and \prm{stop} (all lists are numbered starting at~1). Each item is printed using the formatting directive \prm{format}, as defined with \cmd{DeclareNameFormat}. If a type"=specific \prm{format} has been declared, the type"=specific formatting directive takes precedence over the generic one. If the \prm{name list} is undefined, nothing is printed. If the \prm{format} is omitted, \cmd{printnames} tries using the name of the list as a format name. In this case, any type"=specific formatting directive will also take precedence over the generic one. If all of these formats are undefined, it falls back to \texttt{default} as a last resort. The \prm{start} argument defaults to 1; \prm{stop} defaults to the total number of items in the list. If the total number is greater than \prm{maxnames}, \prm{stop} defaults to \prm{minnames} (see \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}). If you want to select a range but use the default list format, the first optional argument must still be given, but is left empty:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\printnames[][1-3]{...}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+One of \prm{start} and \prm{stop} may be omitted, hence the following arguments are all valid:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\printnames[...][-1]{...}
+\printnames[...][2-]{...}
+\printnames[...][1-3]{...}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+If you want to override \prm{maxnames} and \prm{minnames} and force printing of the entire list, you may refer to the \cnt{listtotal} counter in the second optional argument:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\printnames[...][-\value{listtotal}]{...}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+Whenever \cmd{printnames} and \cmd{printlist} process a list, information concerning the current state is accessible by way of four counters: the \cnt{listtotal} counter holds the total number of items in the current list, \cnt{listcount} holds the number of the item currently being processed, \cnt{liststart} is the \prm{start} argument passed to \cmd{printnames} or \cmd{printlist}, \cnt{liststop} is the \prm{stop} argument. These counters are intended for use in list formatting directives. \cnt{listtotal} may also be used in the second optional argument to \cmd{printnames} and \cmd{printlist}. Note that these counters are local to list formatting directives and do not hold meaningful values when used anywhere else. For every list, there is also a counter by the same name which holds the total number of items in the corresponding list. For example, the \cnt{author} counter holds the total number of items in the \bibfield{author} list. These counters are similar to \cnt{listtotal} except that they may also be used independently of list formatting directives. There are also \cnt{maxnames} and \cnt{minnames} as well as \cnt{maxitems} and \cnt{minitems} counters which hold the values of the corresponding package options. See \secref{aut:fmt:ilc} for a complete list of such internal counters. Note that \cmd{printnames} provides the name of the name list currently being processed in \cmd{currentname} for use in name formatting directives.
+
+\cmditem{printtext}[format]{text}
+
+This command prints \prm{text}, which may be printable text or arbitrary code generating printable text. It clears the punctuation buffer before inserting \prm{text} and informs \biblatex that printable text has been inserted. This ensures that all preceding and following \cmd{newblock} and \cmd{newunit} commands have the desired effect. \cmd{printfield} and \cmd{printnames} as well as \cmd{bibstring} and its companion commands (see \secref{aut:str}) do that automatically. Using this command is required if a bibliography styles inserts literal text (including the commands from \secref{aut:pct:pct, aut:pct:spc}) to ensure that block and unit punctuation works as advertised in \secref{aut:pct:new}. The optional \prm{format} argument specifies a field formatting directive to be used to format \prm{text}. This may also be useful when several fields are to be printed as one chunk, for example, by enclosing the entire chunk in parentheses or quotation marks. If a type"=specific \prm{format} has been declared, the type"=specific formatting directive takes precedence over the generic one. If the \prm{format} is omitted, the \prm{text} is printed as is. See also \secref{aut:cav:pct} for some practical hints.
+
+\cmditem{printfile}[format]{file}
+
+This command is similar to \cmd{printtext} except that the second argument is a file name rather than literal text. The \prm{file} argument must be the name of a valid \latex file found in \tex's search path. \cmd{printfile} will use \cmd{input} to load this \prm{file}. If there is no such file, \cmd{printfile} does nothing. The optional \prm{format} argument specifies a field formatting directive to be applied to the \prm{file}. If a type"=specific \prm{format} has been declared, the type"=specific formatting directive takes precedence over the generic one. If the \prm{format} is omitted, the \prm{file} is printed as is. Note that this feature needs to be enabled explicitly by setting the package option \opt{loadfiles} from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}. By default, \cmd{printfile} will not input any files.
+
+\csitem{printdate}
+
+This command prints the date of the entry, as specified in the fields \bibfield{date} or \bibfield{month}\slash \bibfield{year}. The date format is controlled by the package option \opt{date} from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}. Additional formatting (fonts etc.) may be applied by adjusting the field format \texttt{date} (\secref{aut:fmt:ich}). Note that this command interfaces with the punctuation tracker. There is no need to wrap it in a \cmd{printtext} command.
+
+\csitem{printdateextra}
+
+Similar to \cmd{printdate} but incorporates the \bibfield{extradate} field in the date specification. This is useful for bibliography styles designed for author-year citations.
+
+\csitem{printlabeldate}
+
+Similar to \cmd{printdate} but prints the date field determined by \cmd{DeclareLabeldate}. The date format is controlled by the package option \opt{labeldate} from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}. Additional formatting may be applied by adjusting the field format \texttt{labeldate} (\secref{aut:fmt:ich}).
+
+\csitem{printlabeldateextra}
+
+Similar to \cmd{printlabeldate} but incorporates the \bibfield{extradate} field in the date specification. This is useful for bibliography styles designed for author-year citations.
+
+\csitem{print$<$datetype$>$date}
+
+As \cmd{printdate} but prints the \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$date} of the entry. The date format is controlled by the package option \opt{$<$datetype$>$date} from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}. Additional formatting may be applied by adjusting the field format \texttt{$<$datetype$>$date} (\secref{aut:fmt:ich}). The $<$datetype$>$s in the default data model are <> (for the main \bibfield{date} field), <orig>, <event> and <url>.
+
+\csitem{printtime}
+
+This command prints the time range of the entry, as specified in the \bibfield{date} field (see \secref{bib:use:dat}). The time format is controlled by the package option \opt{time} from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}. Additional formatting (fonts etc.) may be applied by adjusting the field format \texttt{time} (\secref{aut:fmt:ich}). Relevant to time formatting are the \opt{timezeros} option and the \cmd{bibtimesep} and \cmd{bibtimezonesep} macros (\secref{use:fmt:lng}). Note that this command interfaces with the punctuation tracker. There is no need to wrap it in a \cmd{printtext} command. Note that this command prints a stand-alone time range apart from the date elements. With the \opt{$<$datepart$>$dateusetime} option, you can have the time printed along with a date when printing a date range instead of printing the time range completely separately, which is what this command allows for.
+
+\csitem{print$<$datetype$>$time}
+
+As \cmd{printtime} but prints the \bibfield{$<$datetype$>$time} of the entry. The time format is controlled by the package option \opt{$<$datetype$>$time} from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}. Additional formatting may be applied by adjusting the field format \texttt{$<$datetype$>$time} (\secref{aut:fmt:ich}). The $<$datetype$>$s in the default data model are <> (for the main \bibfield{date} field), <orig>, <event> and <url>.
+
+\cmditem{indexfield}[format][msform][mslang]{field}
+
+This command is similar to \cmd{printfield} except that the \prm{field} is not printed but added to the index using the formatting directive \prm{format}, as defined with \cmd{DeclareIndexFieldFormat}. For a multiscript field, \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang} may be specified, otherwise, the global or refcontext override values of \opt{msform}/\opt{mslang} are used. If a type"=specific \prm{format} has been declared, it takes precedence over the generic one. If the \prm{field} is undefined, this command does nothing. If the \prm{format} is omitted, \cmd{indexfield} tries using the name of the field as a format name. In this case, any type"=specific formatting directive will also take precedence over the generic one. If all of these formats are undefined, it falls back to \texttt{default} as a last resort.
+
+\cmditem{indexlist}[format][start\ensuremath\rangle--\ensuremath\langle stop][msform][mslang]{literal list}
+
+This command is similar to \cmd{printlist} except that the items in the list are not printed but added to the index using the formatting directive \prm{format}, as defined with \cmd{DeclareIndexListFormat}. For a multiscript list, \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang} may be specified, otherwise, the global or refcontext override values of \opt{msform}/\opt{mslang} are used. If a type"=specific \prm{format} has been declared, the type"=specific formatting directive takes precedence over the generic one. If the \prm{literal list} is undefined, this command does nothing. If the \prm{format} is omitted, \cmd{indexlist} tries using the name of the list as a format name. In this case, any type"=specific formatting directive will also take precedence over the generic one. If all of these formats are undefined, it falls back to \texttt{default} as a last resort.
+
+\cmditem{indexnames}[format][start\ensuremath\rangle--\ensuremath\langle stop][msform][mslang]{name list}
+
+This command is similar to \cmd{printnames} except that the items in the list are not printed but added to the index using the formatting directive \prm{format}, as defined with \cmd{DeclareIndexNameFormat}. For a multiscript name, \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang} may be specified, otherwise, the global or refcontext override values of \opt{msform}/\opt{mslang} are used. If a type"=specific \prm{format} has been declared, the type"=specific formatting directive takes precedence over the generic one. If the \prm{name list} is undefined, this command does nothing. If the \prm{format} is omitted, \cmd{indexnames} tries using the name of the list as a format name. In this case, any type"=specific formatting directive will also take precedence over the generic one. If all of these formats are undefined, it falls back to \texttt{default} as a last resort.
+
+\cmditem{entrydata}{key}{code}
+\cmditem*{entrydata*}{key}{code}
+
+Data commands like \cmd{printfield} normally use the data of the entry currently being processed. You may use \cmd{entrydata} to switch contexts locally. The \prm{key} is the entry key of the entry to use locally. The \prm{code} is arbitrary code to be executed in this context. This code will be executed in a group. See \secref{aut:cav:mif} for an example. Note that this command will automatically switch languages if the \opt{autolang} package option is enabled. The starred version \cmd{entrydata*} will clone all fields of the enclosing entry, using field, counter, and other resource names prefixed with the string <\texttt{saved}>. This is useful when comparing two data sets. For example, inside the \prm{code} argument, the \bibfield{author} field holds the author of entry \prm{key} and the author of the enclosing entry is available as \bibfield{savedauthor}. The \cnt{author} counter holds the number of names in the \bibfield{author} field of \prm{key}; the \bibfield{savedauthor} counter refers to the author count of the enclosing entry.
+
+\cmditem{entryset}{precode}{postcode}
+
+This command is intended for use in bibliography drivers handling \bibtype{set} entries. It will loop over all members of the set, as indicated by the \bibfield{entryset} field, and execute the appropriate driver for the respective set member. This is similar to executing the \cmd{usedriver} command from \secref{aut:aux:msc} for each set member. The \prm{precode} is arbitrary code to be executed prior to processing each item in the set. The \prm{postcode} is arbitrary code to be executed immediately after processing each item. Both arguments are mandatory in terms of the syntax but may be left empty. See \secref{aut:cav:set} for usage examples.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareFieldInputHandler}{field}{code}
+
+This command can be used to define a data input handler for \prm{field} when it is read from the \file{.bbl}. The \prm{code} is passed one argument (\lstinline{#1}), which contains the input field value, it should then redefine the command \cmd{NewValue}, which holds the desired output field value. For example, to ignore the \bibfield{volumes} field when it appears, you could do
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareFieldInputHandler{volumes}{\def\NewValue{}}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Generally, you would want to use \cmd{DeclareSourcemap} (see \secref{aut:ctm:map}) to remove and modify fields but this alternative method may be useful in some circumstances when the emphasis is on appearance rather than data since the \prm{code} can be arbitraty \tex.
+
+In general, \cmd{DeclareFieldInputHandler} should not be used to apply formatting to a field, since that should happen with \cmd{DeclareFieldFormat}, so the following is just a toy example that shows how \cmd{DeclareFieldInputHandler} works.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareFieldInputHandler{volumes}{\def\NewValue{\textbf{#1}}}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareListInputHandler}{list}{code}
+
+As \cmd{DeclareFieldInputHandler} but for lists. Within the \prm{code}, the macro \cmd{NewValue}
+contains the value of the list and \cmd{NewCount} contains the number of items in the list.
+Note that \cmd{NewValue} as well as the single argument to \prm{code} contain the internal representation of the list.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareNameInputHandler}{name}{code}
+
+As \cmd{DeclareFieldInputHandler} but for names. Within the \prm{code}, the macro \cmd{NewValue}
+contains the value of the name, \cmd{NewCount} contains the number of individual names in the name and \cmd{NewOption} contains any per-name options passed in the \file{.bbl}.
+Note that \cmd{NewValue} as well as the single argument to \prm{code} contain the internal representation of the name list.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Formatting Directives}
+\label{aut:bib:fmt}
+
+This section introduces the commands used to define the formatting directives required by the data commands from \secref{aut:bib:dat}. Note that all standard formats are defined in \path{biblatex.def}.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareFieldFormat}[entrytype, \dots]{format}{code}
+\cmditem*{DeclareFieldFormat}*{format}{code}
+
+Defines the field format \prm{format}. This formatting directive is arbitrary \prm{code} to be executed by \cmd{printfield}. The value of the field will be passed to the \prm{code} as its first and only argument. The name of the field currently being processed is available to the \prm{code} as \cmd{currentfield}. For multiscript fields, the defined forms/langs of all alternates are provided as \sty{etoolbox} lists \cmd{currentmsforms} and \cmd{currentmslangs}. If an \prm{entrytype} is specified, the format is specific to that type. The \prm{entrytype} argument may be a comma"=separated list of values. The starred variant of this command is similar to the regular version, except that all type-specific formats are cleared. \emph{Do not put any whitespace between the arguments to this macro as the definitions are quite complex and you will get unexpected results}.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareListFormat}[entrytype, \dots]{format}{code}
+\cmditem*{DeclareListFormat}*{format}{code}
+
+Defines the literal list format \prm{format}. This formatting directive is arbitrary \prm{code} to be executed for every item in a list processed by \cmd{printlist}. The current item will be passed to the \prm{code} as its first and only argument. The name of the literal list currently being processed is available to the \prm{code} as \cmd{currentlist}. For multiscript fields, the defined forms/langs of all alternates are provided as \sty{etoolbox} lists \cmd{currentmsforms} and \cmd{currentmslangs}. If an \prm{entrytype} is specified, the format is specific to that type. The \prm{entrytype} argument may be a comma"=separated list of values. Note that the formatting directive also handles the punctuation to be inserted between the individual items in the list. You need to check whether you are in the middle of or at the end of the list, \ie whether \cnt{listcount} is smaller than or equal to \cnt{liststop}. The starred variant of this command is similar to the regular version, except that all type-specific formats are cleared. \emph{Do not put any whitespace between the arguments to this macro as the definitions are quite complex and you will get unexpected results}.
+
+
+\cmditem{DeclareNameFormat}[entrytype, \dots]{format}{code}
+\cmditem*{DeclareNameFormat}*{format}{code}
+
+Defines the name list format \prm{format}. This formatting directive is arbitrary \prm{code} to be executed for every name in a list processed by \cmd{printnames}. If an \prm{entrytype} is specified, the format is specific to that type. The \prm{entrytype} argument may be a comma"=separated list of values. The individual parts of a name will be available in automatically created macros (see below). The default data mode defines four name part which correspond to the standard \bibtex name parts arguments:
+
+\begin{argumentlist}{00}
+\item[family] The family name(s), know as <last> in \bibtex. If a name consists of a single part only (for example, <Aristotle>), this part will be treated as the family name.
+\item[given] The given name(s). Note that given names are referred to as the <first> names in the \bibtex file format documentation.
+\item[prefix] Any name prefices, for example von, van, of, da, de, del, della, etc. Note that name prefices are referred to as the <von> part of the name in the \bibtex file format documentation.
+\item[suffix] Any name suffices, for example Jr, Sr. Note that name suffices are referred to as the <Jr> part of the name in the \bibtex file format documentation.
+\end{argumentlist}
+%
+The value of the datamodel <nameparts> constant (see \secref{aut:bbx:drv}) creates two macros for each name part in the datamodel for the name. So, for example, in the default data model, name formats will have defined the following macros:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\namepartprefix
+\namepartprefixi
+\namepartfamily
+\namepartfamilyi
+\namepartsuffix
+\namepartsuffixi
+\namepartgiven
+\namepartgiveni
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+If a certain part of a name is not available, the corresponding macro will be empty, hence you may use, for example, the \sty{etoolbox} tests like \cmd{ifdefvoid} to check for the individual parts of a name. The name of the name list currently being processed is available to the \prm{code} as \cmd{currentname}. For multiscript fields, the defined forms/langs of all alternates are provided as \sty{etoolbox} lists \cmd{currentmsforms} and \cmd{currentmslangs}.
+
+For multiscript name lists, all available alternates of the current name list item are available in name formats via macros:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\namepart<namepart><msform><mslang>
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Note that <mslang> is a BCP47 tag which may contain hyphens and so raw macro use will not work. It is therefore safer to refer to these macros with \cmd{csuse} e.g.:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\csuse{namepartfamilydefaulten-us}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Also note that any \sty{babel} shorthands in the value of these macros will not work as they are automatically defined in the preamble.
+
+Note that the formatting directive also handles the punctuation to be inserted between separate names and between the individual parts of a name. You need to check whether you are in the middle of or at the end of the list, \ie whether \cnt{listcount} is smaller than or equal to \cnt{liststop}. See also \secref{use:cav:nam}. The starred variant of this command is similar to the regular version, except that all type-specific formats are cleared. \emph{Do not put any whitespace between the arguments to this macro as the definitions are quite complex and you will get unexpected results}.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareListWrapperFormat}[entrytype, \dots]{format}{code}
+\cmditem*{DeclareListWrapperFormat}*{format}{code}
+
+Defines the list wrapper format \prm{format}. This formatting directive is arbitrary \prm{code} to be executed once for the entire list processed by \cmd{printlist}. The name of the literal list currently being processed is available to the \prm{code} as \cmd{currentlist}. If an \prm{entrytype} is specified, the format is specific to that type. The \prm{entrytype} argument may be a comma"=separated list of values. The starred variant of this command is similar to the regular version, except that all type-specific formats are cleared.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareNameWrapperFormat}[entrytype, \dots]{format}{code}
+\cmditem*{DeclareNameWrapperFormat}*{format}{code}
+
+Defines the name list wrapper format \prm{format}. This formatting directive is arbitrary \prm{code} to be executed once for the entire name list processed by \cmd{printnames}. The name of the name list currently being processed is available to the \prm{code} as \cmd{currentname}. If an \prm{entrytype} is specified, the format is specific to that type. The \prm{entrytype} argument may be a comma"=separated list of values. The starred variant of this command is similar to the regular version, except that all type-specific formats are cleared.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareIndexFieldFormat}[entrytype, \dots]{format}{code}
+\cmditem*{DeclareIndexFieldFormat}*{format}{code}
+
+Defines the field format \prm{format}. This formatting directive is arbitrary \prm{code} to be executed by \cmd{indexfield}. The value of the field will be passed to the \prm{code} as its first and only argument. The name of the field currently being processed is available to the \prm{code} as \cmd{currentfield}. If an \prm{entrytype} is specified, the format is specific to that type. The \prm{entrytype} argument may be a comma"=separated list of values. This command is similar to \cmd{DeclareFieldFormat} except that the data handled by the \prm{code} is not intended to be printed but written to the index. Note that \cmd{indexfield} will execute the \prm{code} as is, \ie the \prm{code} must include \cmd{index} or a similar command. The starred variant of this command is similar to the regular version, except that all type-specific formats are cleared.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareIndexListFormat}[entrytype, \dots]{format}{code}
+\cmditem*{DeclareIndexListFormat}*{format}{code}
+
+Defines the literal list format \prm{format}. This formatting directive is arbitrary \prm{code} to be executed for every item in a list processed by \cmd{indexlist}. The current item will be passed to the \prm{code} as its only argument. The name of the literal list currently being processed is available to the \prm{code} as \cmd{currentlist}. If an \prm{entrytype} is specified, the format is specific to that type. The \prm{entrytype} argument may be a comma"=separated list of values. This command is similar to \cmd{DeclareListFormat} except that the data handled by the \prm{code} is not intended to be printed but written to the index. Note that \cmd{indexlist} will execute the \prm{code} as is, \ie the \prm{code} must include \cmd{index} or a similar command. The starred variant of this command is similar to the regular version, except that all type-specific formats are cleared.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareIndexNameFormat}[entrytype, \dots]{format}{code}
+\cmditem*{DeclareIndexNameFormat}*{format}{code}
+
+Defines the name list format \prm{format}. This formatting directive is arbitrary \prm{code} to be executed for every name in a list processed by \cmd{indexnames}. The name of the name list currently being processed is available to the \prm{code} as \cmd{currentname}. If an \prm{entrytype} is specified, the format is specific to that type. The \prm{entrytype} argument may be a comma"=separated list of values. The parts of the name will be passed to the \prm{code} as separate arguments. This command is very similar to \cmd{DeclareNameFormat} except that the data handled by the \prm{code} is not intended to be printed but written to the index. Note that \cmd{indexnames} will execute the \prm{code} as is, \ie the \prm{code} must include \cmd{index} or a similar command. The starred variant of this command is similar to the regular version, except that all type-specific formats are cleared.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareFieldAlias}[entry type]{alias}[format entry type]{format}
+
+Declares \prm{alias} to be an alias for the field format \prm{format}. If an \prm{entrytype} is specified, the alias is specific to that type. The \prm{format entry type} is the entry type of the backend format. This is only required when declaring an alias for a type"=specific formatting directive.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareListAlias}[entry type]{alias}[format entry type]{format}
+

+
+\cmditem{DeclareNameWrapperAlias}[entry type]{alias}[format entry type]{format}

The \prm{format entry type} is the entry type of the backend format. This is only required when declaring an alias for a type"=specific formatting directive.
+
+\cmditem{DeprecateListFormatWithReplacement}[entry type]{alias}[format entry type]{format}

+
+\subsection{Customization}
+\label{aut:ctm}
+
+\subsubsection{Related Entries}
+\label{aut:ctm:rel}
+The related entries feature comprises the following components:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Special fields in an entry to set up and describe relationships
+\item Optionally, localisation strings to prefix the related data
+\item Macros to extract and print the related data
+\item Formats to format the localisation string and related data
+\end{itemize}
+%
+The special fields are \bibfield{related}, \bibfield{relatedtype}, \bibfield{relatedstring} and \bibfield{relatedoptions}:
+\begin{keymarglist}
+\item[related] A separated list of keys of entries which are related to this entry in some way. Note the order of the keys is important. The data from multiple related entries is printed in the order of the keys listed in this field.
+\item[relatedtype] The type of relationship. This serves three purposes. If the value of this field resolves to a localisation string identifier, then the resulting localised string is printed before the data from the related entries. Secondly, if there is a macro called \texttt{related:\prm{relatedtype}}, this is used to format the data from the related entries. If no such macro exists, then the macro \texttt{related:default} is used. Lastly, if there is a format named \texttt{related:\prm{relatedtype}}, then it is used to format both the localised string and related entry data. If there is no related type specific format, the \texttt{related} format is used.
+\item[relatedstring] If an entry contains this field, then if value of the field resolves to a localisation string identifier, the localisation key value specified is printed before data from the related entries. If the field does not specify a localisation key, its value is printed literally. If both \bibfield{relatedtype} and \bibfield{relatedstring} are present in an entry, \bibfield{relatedstring} is used for the pre-data string (but \bibfield{relatedtype} is still used to determine the macro and format to use when printing the data).
+\item[relatedoptions] A list of per"=entry options to set on the related entry (actually on the clone of the related entry which is used as a data source---the actual related entry is not modified because it might be cited directly itself).
+\end{keymarglist}
+
+The related entry feature is enabled by default by the package option \opt{related} from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}. The related information entry data from the related entries is included via a \cmd{usebibmacro\{related\}} call. Standard styles call this macro towards the end of each driver. Style authors should ensure the existence of (or take note of existing) localisation strings which are useful as values for the \bibfield{relatedtype} field, such as \texttt{translationof} or perhaps \texttt{translatedas}. A plural variant can be identified with the localisation key \prm{relatedtype}\texttt{s}. This key's corresponding string is printed whenever more than one entry is specified in \bibfield{related}. Bibliography macros and formatting directives for printing entries related by \prm{relatedtype} should be defined using the name \texttt{related:\prm{relatedtype}}. The file \path{biblatex.def} contains macros and formats for some common relation types which can be used as templates. In particular, the \cmd{entrydata*} command is essential in such macros in order to make the data of the related entries available. Examples of entries using this feature can be found in the \biblatex distribution examples file \path{biblatex-examples.bib}. There are some specific formatting macros for this feature which control delimiters and separators in related entry information, see \secref{aut:fmt:fmt}.
+
+\subsubsection{Datasource Sets}
+\label{aut:ctm:dsets}
+
+It is useful to be able to define named sets of datasource field names for use in loops etc. In addition, \biber can use such sets in order to apply options and perform operations on particular sets of datasource fields. The following macros allow the user to define arbitrary sets of datasource fields, exposed to \biblatex as \sty{etoolbox} lists and to \biber in the \file{.bcf}.
+
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareDatafieldSet}{name}{specification}
+
+Declare a set of datasource fields with name \prm{name}.
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\valitem{name}{set name}
+
+The name of the set.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+The \prm{specification} is one or more \cmd{member} items:
+
+\cmditem{member}
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\valitem{fieldtype}{fieldtype}
+\valitem{datatype}{datatype}
+\valitem{field}{fieldname}
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+A \cmd{member} specification appends fields to the set. Fields can be specified by datamodel \prm{fieldtype} and/or \prm{datatype} (see \secref{aut:ctm:dm}). Alternatively, fields can be explicitly added by name using the \prm{field} option. Once defined, the set is available as an \sty{etoolbox} list called \cmd{datafieldset<setname>} and is also passed via the \file{.bcf} to \biber.
+
+For example, here are the default sets defined by \biblatex for name fields and title fields:
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\begin{ltxexample}[style=latex]
+\DeclareDatafieldSet{setnames}{
+ \member[datatype=name, fieldtype=list]
+}
+
+\DeclareDatafieldSet{settitles}{
+ \member[field=title]
+ \member[field=booktitle]
+ \member[field=eventtitle]
+ \member[field=issuetitle]
+ \member[field=journaltitle]
+ \member[field=maintitle]
+ \member[field=origtitle]
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This defines the macros \cmd{datafieldsetsetnames} and \cmd{datafieldsetsettitles} as \sty{etoolbox} lists containing the names of the member datasource fields specified.

+\subsubsection{Dynamic Modification of Data}
+\label{aut:ctm:map}
+
+Bibliographic data sources which are automatically generated or which you have no control over can be a problem if you need to edit them in some way. For this reason, \biber has the ability to modify data as it is read so that you can apply modifications to the source data stream without actually changing it. The modification can be defined in \biber's config file (see \biber docs), or via \biblatex macros in which case you can apply the modification only for specific documents, styles or globally.
+
+Source mapping happens during data parsing and therefore before any other operation such as inheritance and sorting.
+
+Source mappings can be defined at different «levels» which are applied
+in a defined order. See the \biblatex\ manual regarding these macros:\\[2ex]
+
+\noindent \texttt{user}-level maps defined with \cmd{DeclareSourcemap}$\rightarrow$\\
+\hspace*{1em}\texttt{user}-level maps defined in the \biber config file (see \biber docs)$\rightarrow$\\
+\hspace*{2em}\texttt{style}-level maps defined with \cmd{DeclareStyleSourcemap}$\rightarrow$\\
+\hspace*{3em}\texttt{driver}-level maps defined with \cmd{DeclareDriverSourcemap}\\[2ex]
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareSourcemap}{specification}
+
+Defines source data modification (mapping) rules which can be used to perform any combination of the following tasks:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Map data source entrytypes to different entrytypes
+\item Map datasource fields to different fields
+\item Add new fields to an entry
+\item Remove fields from an entry
+\item Modify the contents of a field using standard Perl regular expression
+ match and replace\footnote{See for example \url{https://perldoc.perl.org/perlretut.html}, \url{https://perldoc.perl.org/perlrequick.html} and \url{https://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html}. There are many more resources available about regular expessions in Perl.}
+\item Restrict any of the above operations to entries coming from
+ particular datasources which you defined in \cmd{addresource} macros
+\item Restrict any of the above operations to entries only of a certain
+ entrytype
+\item Restrict any of the above operations to entries in a particular
+ reference section
+\end{itemize}
+
+The \prm{specification} is an undelimited list of \cmd{maps} directives which specify containers for mappings rules applying to a particular data source type (\secref{use:bib:res}). Spaces, tabs, and line endings may be used freely to visually arrange the \prm{specification}. Blank lines are not permissible. This command may only be used in the preamble and can be used multiple times, the maps being run in order of definition.
+
+\cmditem{maps}[options]{elements}
+
+Contains an ordered set of \cmd{map} elements each of which is a logically related set of mapping steps to apply to the data source. The \prm{options} are:
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\choitem[bibtex]{datatype}{bibtex, biblatexml}
+
+Data source type to which the contained \cmd{map} directives apply (\secref{use:bib:res}).
+
+\boolitem[false]{overwrite}
+
+Specify whether a mapping rule is allowed to overwrite already existing data in an entry. If this option is not specified, the default is \texttt{false}. The short form \opt{overwrite} is equivalent to \kvopt{overwrite}{true}.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\cmditem{map}[options]{restrictions,steps}
+
+A container for an ordered set of map \cmd{step}s, optionally restricted to particular entrytypes or data sources. This is a grouping element to allow a set of mapping steps to apply only to specific entrytypes or data sources. Mapping steps must always be contained within a \cmd{map} element. The \prm{options} are:
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\boolitem{overwrite}
+
+As the same option on the parent \cmd{maps} element. This option allows an override on a per-map group basis. If this option is not specified, the default is the parent \cmd{maps} element option value. The short form \opt{overwrite} is equivalent to \kvopt{overwrite}{true}.
+
+\valitem{foreach}{loopval}
+
+Loop over all \cmd{step}s in this \cmd{map}, setting the special variable |$MAPLOOP| %$
+to each of the comma-separated values contained in \prm{loopval}. \prm{loopval} can either be the name of a datafield set defined with \cmd{DeclareDatafieldSet} (see \secref{aut:ctm:dsets}), a datasource field which is fetched and parsed as a comma"=separated values list or an explicit comma"=separated values list. \prm{loopval} is determined in this order. This allows the user to repeat a group of \cmd{step}s for each value \prm{loopval}. Using regexp maps, it is possible to create a CSV field for use with this functionality. The special variable |$MAPUNIQ| %$
+may also be used in the \cmd{step}s to generate a random unique string. This can be useful when creating keys for new entries. An example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}[style=latex]
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
+ \map[overwrite, foreach={author,editor, translator}]{
+ \step[fieldsource=\regexp{$MAPLOOP}, match={Smith}, replace={Jones}]
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%$<- to stop emacs highlighting breaking
+
+\intitem{refsection}
+
+Only apply the contained \cmd{step} commands to entries in the reference section with number \prm{refsection}.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\cmditem{perdatasource}{datasource}
+
+Restricts all \cmd{step}s in this \cmd{map} element to entries from the named \prm{datasource}. The \prm{datasource} name should be exactly as given in a \cmd{addresource} macro defining a data source for the document. Multiple \cmd{perdatasource} restrictions are allowed within a \cmd{map} element.
+
+\cmditem{pertype}{entrytype}
+
+Restricts all \cmd{step}s in this \cmd{map} element to entries of the named \prm{entrytype}. Multiple \cmd{pertype} restrictions are allowed within a \cmd{map} element.
+
+\cmditem{pernottype}{entrytype}
+
+Restricts all \cmd{step}s in this \cmd{map} element to entries not of the named \prm{entrytype}. Multiple \cmd{pernottype} restrictions are allowed within a \cmd{map} element.
+
+\cmditem{step}[options]
+
+A mapping step. Each step is applied sequentially to every relevant entry where <relevant> means those entries which correspond to the data source type, entrytype and data source name restrictions mentioned above. Each step is applied to the entry as it appears after the application of all previous steps. The mapping performed by the step is determined by the following \prm{option}s:
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\valitem{typesource}{entrytype}
+\valitem{typetarget}{entrytype}
+\valitem{fieldsource}{entryfield}
+\valitem{fieldsourcemsform}{msform}

+%
+For all boolean \cmd{step} options, the short form \opt{option} is equivalent to \kvopt{option}{true}. The following rules for a mapping step apply:
+
+\renewcommand{\labelitemii}{$\circ$}
+
+Note that the options \opt{cited}, \opt{nocited}, \opt{citedornocited},
+\opt{allnocited} and \opt{starnocited} are unique in that they can make the
+results of a sourcemap differ depending on the refsection. This is because
+a datasource to which source mapping applies may be used in several
+refsections and source mappings are applied when fetching the data from the
+datasources for a refsection. Citation commands are local to a refsection
+and therefore may differ for the same entry from refsection to refsection.
+For example, the same entry may be \cmd{cite}d in one refsection but
+\cmd{nocite}d in another, resulting in different source map results and
+therefore data between the refsections. This can be avoided if desired, by
+limiting source maps to specific refsections only (see \opt{refsection}
+option to the \cmd{map} command above).
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item If \texttt{entrynew} is set, a new entry is created with the entry key \texttt{entrynewkey} and the entry type given in the option \texttt{entrynewtype}. This
+ entry is only in-scope during the processing of the current entry and can be referenced by
+ \texttt{entrytarget}. In \texttt{entrynewkey}, you may use standard Perl regular expression
+ backreferences to captures from a previous \texttt{match} step.
+\item When a \texttt{fieldset} step has \texttt{entrytarget} set to the entrykey of an entry
+ created by \texttt{entrynew}, the target for the field set will be the \texttt{entrytarget} entry
+ rather than the entry being currently processed. This allows users to create new entries and set
+ fields in them.
+\item If \texttt{entrynocite} is used in a \texttt{entrynew} or
+ \texttt{entryclone} step, the new/clone entry will be included in the
+ \file{.bbl} as if the entry/clone had been \cmd{nocite}ed in the document.
+\item If \texttt{entrynull} is set, processing of the \cmd{map}
+ immediately terminates and the current entry is not created. It is
+ as if it did not exist in the datasource. Obviously, you should
+ select the entries which you want to apply this to using prior
+ mapping steps.
+\item If \texttt{entryclone} is set, a clone of the entry is created with an entry key
+ \texttt{clonekey}. Obviously this may cause labelling problems in author/year styles etc.
+ and should be used with care. The cloned entry is in-scope during the processing of the
+ current entry and can be modified by passing its key as the value to \texttt{entrytarget}.
+ In \texttt{clonekey}, you may use standard Perl regular expression backreferences to
+ captures from a previous \texttt{match} step.
+\item If \texttt{cited} is used then only apply the step if the entry key
+ of an entry was specifically cited via \cmd{cite}.
+\item If \texttt{nocited} is used then only apply the step if the entry key
+ of an entry was specifically nocited via \cmd{nocite} or was included via \cmd{nocite\{*\}}.
+\item If \texttt{citedornocited} is used then only apply the step if the entry key
+ of an entry was specifically cited via \cmd{cite} or specifically nocited via \cmd{nocite}.
+\item If \texttt{allnocited} is used then only apply the step if the entry key
+ of an entry was included via \cmd{nocite\{*\}}.
+\item If \texttt{starnocited} is used then only apply the step if the entry key
+ of an entry was included solely because of \cmd{nocite\{*\}}. This
+ implies that the entry was neither explicitly \cmd{cite}ed nor explicitly \cmd{nocite}ed.
+\item Change the \texttt{typesource} \prm{entrytype} to the
+ \texttt{typetarget} \prm{entrytype}, if defined. If
+ \texttt{final} is \texttt{true} then if the \prm{entrytype} of the entry is not \texttt{typesource}, processing of the parent \cmd{map} immediately terminates.
+\item Change the \texttt{fieldsource} \prm{entryfield} (optionally a
+ particular alternate of the \texttt{fieldsource} as specified by
+ \texttt{fieldsourcemsform} and \texttt{fieldsourcemslang}) to
+ \texttt{fieldtarget} (optionally a particular alternate of the
+ \texttt{fieldtarget} as specified by \texttt{fieldtargetmsform} and
+ \texttt{fieldtargetmslang}), if defined. Any data annotations of a renamed field are automatically renamed appropriately. If \texttt{final} is
+ \texttt{true} then if there is no \texttt{fieldsource} \prm{entryfield}
+ in the entry, processing of the parent \cmd{map} immediately terminates.
+\item If \texttt{notfield} is true only if the \prm{entryfield} does not
+ exist. Usually used with \texttt{final} so that if an entry does contain
+ \prm{entryfield}, the map terminates.
+\item If \texttt{match} is defined but
+ \texttt{replace} is not, only apply the step if the \texttt{fieldsource} \prm{entryfield} matches the
+ \texttt{match} regular expression (logic is reversed if you use \texttt{notmatch} and case-insensitive if you use the versions ending in <i>)\footnote{Regular expressions are full Perl 5.16 regular expressions. This means you may need to deal with special characters, see examples.}. You may use capture parenthesis as usual and refer to these (\$1\ldots\$9) in later \texttt{fieldvalue} specifications. This allows you to pull out parts of some fields and put these parts in other fields.
+\item Perform a regular expression match and replace on the value of the \texttt{fieldsource} \prm{entryfield} if \texttt{match} and \texttt{replace} are defined.
+\item If \texttt{matches} is defined, it should be a comma-separated list of literal strings which are replaced by corresponding locations in a comma-separated list provided in \texttt{replace}. The lists must have the same number of elements or the step will be skipped. \texttt{matchesi} is the same but case-insensitive.
+\item If \texttt{fieldset} is defined, then its value is \prm{entryfield}
+ which will be set to a value specified by further options. If
+ \texttt{overwrite} is false for this step and the field to set already
+ exists then the map step is ignored. If \texttt{final} is also true for
+ this step, then processing of the parent map stops at this point. If
+ \texttt{append} is true, then the value to set is appended to the current
+ value of \prm{entryfield}. \texttt{appendstrict} only appends to
+ \prm{entryfield} if \prm{entryfield} is not empty. The value to set is
+ specified by a mandatory one and only one of the following options:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item\ \texttt{fieldvalue} --- The \texttt{fieldset} \prm{entryfield} is set to the \texttt{fieldvalue} \prm{string}
+ \item\ \texttt{null} --- The \texttt{fieldset} \prm{entryfield} is ignored, as if it did not exist in the datasource
+ \item\ \texttt{origentrytype} --- The \texttt{fieldset} \prm{entryfield} is set to the most recently mentioned \texttt{typesource} \prm{entrytype} name
+ \item\ \texttt{origfield} --- The \texttt{fieldset} \prm{entryfield} is set to the most recently mentioned \texttt{fieldsource} \prm{entryfield} name
+ \item\ \texttt{origfieldval} --- The \texttt{fieldset} \prm{entryfield} is set to the most recently mentioned \texttt{fieldsource} value
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\noindent With \bibtex\ datasources, you may specify the
+pseudo-field \bibfield{entrykey} for \texttt{fieldsource}
+which is the citation key of the entry. With \biblatexml\ the \bibfield{entrykey} is a normal attribute and can be reference like any other attribute. Naturally, this <field> cannot
+be changed (used as \texttt{fieldset}, \texttt{fieldtarget} or changed using \texttt{replace}).
+
+Macros used in \cmd{step} are expanded. Unexpandable contents should be protected with \cmd{detokenize}, regular expressions can be escaped using the dedicated \cmd{regexp} command (see the examples below).
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareStyleSourcemap}{specification}
+
+This command sets the source mappings used by a style. Such mappings are conceptually separate from user mappings defined with \cmd{DeclareSourcemap} and are applied directly after user maps. The syntax is identical to \cmd{DeclareSourcemap}. This command is provided for style authors so that any maps defined for the style do not interfere with user maps or the default driver maps defined with \cmd{DeclareDriverSourcemap}. This command is for use in style files and can be used multiple times, the maps being run in order of definition.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareDriverSourcemap}[datatype=driver]{specification}
+
+This command sets the driver default source mappings for the specified \prm{driver}. Such mappings are conceptually separate from user mappings defined with \cmd{DeclareSourcemap} and style mapping defined with \cmd{DeclareStyleSourcemap}. They consist of mappings which are part of the driver setup. Users should not normally need to change these. Driver default mapping are applied after user mappings (\cmd{DeclareSourcemap}) and style mappings (\cmd{DeclareStyleSourcemap}). These defaults are described in Appendix \secref{apx:maps}. The \prm{specification} is identical to that for \cmd{DeclareSourcemap} but without the \cmd{maps} elements: the \prm{specification} is just a list of \cmd{map} elements since each \cmd{DeclareDriverSourcemap} only applies to one datatype driver. See the default definitions in Appendix \secref{apx:maps} for examples.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{regexp}{PCRE}
+
+This command can be used with any command accepting a regular expression key to protect a regular expression from being interpreted by \TeX\ so that it is passed through to \biber correctly. Regular expressions often contain sequences of characters that are also valid \TeX\ commands but which should not be interpreted as such. The argument is a normal PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expression\fnurl{https://perldoc.perl.org/perlre}). Perl escape sequences like \cmd{t} for a tab, \cmd{n} for a newline, \cmd{A} for the start of a string or \cmd{d} for a digit can be used, without \TeX\ trying to execute them as commands, as can be special characters like \verb|^|, \verb|_| or \verb|{..}| and \verb|#|. Only the \% must be protected: to match a single \% in the bib, use \textbackslash\% in the regular expression, a \textbackslash\% is matched by \textbackslash\textbackslash\%.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+Here are some data source mapping examples:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
+ \map{
+ \perdatasource{<<example1.bib>>}
+ \perdatasource{<<example2.bib>>}
+ \step[fieldset=<<keywords>>, fieldvalue={<<keyw1, keyw2>>}]
+ \step[fieldsource=<<entrykey>>]
+ \step[fieldset=<<note>>, origfieldval]
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This would add a \bibfield{keywords} field with value <keyw1, keyw2> and set the \bibfield{note} field to the entry key to all entries which are found in either the
+\texttt{examples1.bib} or \texttt{examples2.bib} files.
+%
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
+ \map{
+ \step[fieldsource=<<title>>]
+ \step[fieldset=<<note>>, origfieldval]
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Copy the \bibfield{title} field to the \bibfield{note} field unless the
+\bibfield{note} field already exists.
+%
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
+ \map{
+ \step[typesource=<<chat>>, typetarget=<<customa>>, final]
+ \step[fieldset=<<type>>, origentrytype]
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Any \bibfield{chat} entrytypes would become \bibfield{customa} entrytypes and
+would automatically have a \bibfield{type} field set to
+<chat> unless the \bibfield{type} field already exists in the entry (because
+\texttt{overwrite} is false by default). This mapping applies only to entries of type
+\bibtype{chat} since the first step has \texttt{final} set and so if the
+\texttt{typesource} does not match the entry entrytype, processing of this
+\cmd{map} immediately terminates.
+%
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
+ \map{
+ \perdatasource{<<examples.bib>>}
+ \pertype{<<article>>}
+ \pertype{<<book>>}
+ \step[fieldset=<<abstract>>, null]
+ \step[fieldset=<<note>>, fieldvalue={<<Auto-created this field>>}]
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Any entries of entrytype \bibtype{article} or \bibtype{book} from the
+\texttt{examples.bib} datasource would have their \bibfield{abstract}
+fields removed and a \bibfield{note} field added with value <Auto-created this field>.
+%
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
+ \map{
+ \step[fieldset=<<abstract>>, null]
+ \step[fieldsource=<<conductor>>, fieldtarget=<<namea>>]
+ \step[fieldsource=<<gps>>, fieldtarget=<<usera>>]
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This removes \bibfield{abstract} fields from any entry, changes
+\bibfield{conductor} fields to \bibfield{namea} fields and changes \bibfield{gps}
+fields to \bibfield{usera} fields.
+%
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
+ \map{
+ \step[fieldsource=<<pubmedid>>, fieldtarget=<<eprint>>, final]
+ \step[fieldset=<<eprinttype>>, origfield]
+ \step[fieldset=<<userd>>, fieldvalue={<<Some string of things>>}]
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Applies only to entries with \bibfield{pubmed} fields and maps
+\bibfield{pubmedid} fields to \bibfield{eprint} fields, sets the \bibfield{eprinttype}
+field to <pubmedid> and also sets the \bibfield{userd} field to the string
+<Some string of things>.
+%
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
+ \map{
+ \step[fieldsource=<<series>>,
+ match=\regexp{<<\A\d*(.+)>>},
+ replace=\regexp{<<\L$1>>}]
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%$<- to stop emacs highlighting breaking
+Here, the contents of the \bibfield{series} field have leading numbers stripped and the remainder of the contents lowercased. Since regular expressions usually contain all sort of special characters, it is best to enclose them in the provided \cmd{regexp} macro as shown---this will pass the expression through to \biber\ correctly.
+%
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
+ \map{
+ \step[fieldsource=<<maintitle>>,
+ match=\regexp{<<Collected\s+Works.+Freud>>},
+ final]
+ \step[fieldset=<<keywords>>, fieldvalue=<<freud>>]
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%$<- to stop emacs highlighting breaking
+Here, if for an entry, the \bibfield{maintitle} field matches a particular regular expression, we set a special keyword so we can, for example, make a references section just for certain items.
+%
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
+ \map{
+ \step[fieldsource=<<lista>>, match=\regexp{<<regexp>>}, final]
+ \step[fieldset=<<lista>>, null]
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+If an entry has a \bibfield{lista} field which matches regular expression <regexp>, then it is removed.
+%
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
+ \map[overwrite=false]{
+ \step[fieldsource=<<author>>]
+ \step[fieldset=<<editor>>, origfieldval, final]
+ \step[fieldsource=<<editor>>, match=\regexp{<<\A(.+?)\s+and.*>>}, replace={<<$1>>}]
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%$<- to stop emacs highlighting breaking
+For any entry with an \bibfield{author} field, try to set
+\bibfield{editor} to the same as \bibfield{author}. If this fails because
+\bibfield{editor} already exists, stop, otherwise truncate
+\bibfield{editor} to just the first name in the name list.
+%
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
+ \map{
+ \step[fieldsource=<<author>>,
+ match={<<Smith, Bill>>},
+ replace={<<Smith, William>>}]
+ \step[fieldsource=<<author>>,
+ match={<<Jones, Baz>>},
+ replace={<<Jones, Barry>>}]
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Here, we use multiple match/replace for the same field to regularise some inconstant name variants. Bear in mind that \cmd{step} processing within a \opt{map} element is sequential and so the changes from a previous \cmd{step}s are already committed. Note that we don't need the \cmd{regexp} macro to protect the regular expressions in this example as they contain no characters which need special escaping. Please note that due to the difficulty of protecting regular expressions in \latex, there should be no literal spaces in the argument to \cmd{regexp}. Please use escape code equivalents if spaces are needed. For example, this example, if using \cmd{regexp}, should be:
+%
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
+ \map{
+ \step[fieldsource=<<author>>,
+ match=\regexp{<<Smith,\s+Bill>>},
+ replace=\regexp{<<Smith,\x20William>>}]
+ \step[fieldsource=<<author>>,
+ match=\regexp{<<Jones,\s+Baz>>},
+ replace=\regexp{<<Jones,\x20Barry>>}]
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Here, we have used the hexadecimal escape sequence <|\x20|> in place of literal spaces in the replacement strings.
+%
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
+ \map[overwrite]{
+ \step[fieldsource=<<author>>, match={<<Doe,>>}, final]
+ \step[fieldset=<<shortauthor>>, origfieldval]
+ \step[fieldset=<<sortname>>, origfieldval]
+ \step[fieldsource=<<shortauthor>>,
+ match=\regexp{<<Doe,\s*(?:\.|ohn)(?:[-]*)(?:P\.|Paul)*>>},
+ replace={<<Doe, John Paul>>}]
+ \step[fieldsource=<<sortname>>,
+ match=\regexp{<<Doe,\s*(?:\.|ohn)(?:[-]*)(?:P\.|Paul)*>>},
+ replace={<<Doe, John Paul>>}]
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Only applies to entries with an \bibfield{author} field matching <Doe,>. First the \bibfield{author} field is copied to both the \bibfield{shortauthor} and \bibfield{sortname} fields, overwriting them if they already exist. Then, these two new fields are modified to canonicalise a particular name, which presumably has some variants in the data source.
+%
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
+ \map[overwrite]{
+ \step[fieldsource=<<verba>>, final]
+ \step[fieldset=<<verbb>>, fieldvalue=<</>>, append]
+ \step[fieldset=<<verbb>>, origfieldval, append]
+ \step[fieldsource=<<verbb>>, final]
+ \step[fieldset=<<verbc>>, fieldvalue=<</>>, append]
+ \step[fieldset=<<verbc>>, origfieldval, append]
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This example demonstrates the sequential nature of the step processing and the \opt{append} option. If an entry has a \bibfield{verba} field then first, a forward slash is appended to the \bibfield{verbb} field. Then, the contents of \bibfield{verba} are appended to the \bibfield{verbb} field. A slash is then appended to the \bibfield{verbc} field and the contents of \bibfield{verbb} are appended to the \bibfield{verbc} field.
+%
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{

+ \step[fieldset=<<autourl>>, fieldvalue={<<http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=">>}]
+ \step[fieldsource=<<title>>]
+ \step[fieldset=<<autourl>>, origfieldval, append]
+ \step[fieldset=<<autourl>>, fieldvalue={<<"+author:>>}, append]

+%
+This example assumes you have created a field called \bibfield{autourl} using the datamodel macros from \secref{aut:ctm:dm} in order to hold, for example, a Google Scholar query URL auto-created from elements of the entry. The example progressively extracts information from the entry, constructing the URL as it goes. It demonstrates that it is possible to refer to parenthetical matches from the most recent \texttt{match} in any following \texttt{fieldvalue} which allows extracting the family name from the \bibfield{author}, assuming a <family, given> format. The resulting field could then be used as a hyperlink from, for example, the title of the work in the bibliography.
+%
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
+ \map{
+ \step[fieldsource=<<title>>, match={A Title}, final]
+ \step[entrynull]
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Any entry with a \bibfield{title} field matching <A Title> will be completely ignored.
+%
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
+ \map{
+ \pernottype{book}
+ \pernottype{article}
+ \step[entrynull]
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Any entry which is not a \bibtype{book} or \bibtype{article} will be ignored.
+%
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
+ \map{
+ \perdatasource{<<biblatex-examples.bib>>}
+ \step[entryclone={rel-}]
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Here, a clone of an entry from the specified data source will be created. The entry key of the clone will be the same as the original but prefixed by the value of the \texttt{entryclone} parameter. The cloned entry would still need to be cited in the document using its new entry key. This type of mapping step should be used with care as it may produce labelling problems in authoryear styles which use, for example, \opt{extradate}. One use case is for numeric styles which contain multiple bibliographies containing the same entry. In this case, you may need different bibliography number labeld for the same entry and this is very tricky when there is only one entry which needs different labels. Creating clones with different entry keys solves this problem.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
+ \map{
+ \step[fieldsource=<<note>>]
+ \step[fieldset=<<usera>>, origfieldval]
+ \step[fieldsource=<<usera>>, matchesi={string1,string2,StriNg3}, replace={1,2,3}]
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Here, any \bibfield{note} field is copied to \bibfield{usera} and then <string1>, <string2> and <string3> are matched case-insensitively in the \bibfield{usera} field and replaced with <1>, <2> and <3> respectively. The value of \texttt{matches} and \texttt{matchesi} are not regular expressions, they are CSV lists of literal strings, as is the value of \texttt{replace} when either of \texttt{matches} or \texttt{matchesi} are used. The lengths of the match/replace CSV lists must be the same. This is useful when creating a new field to sort by in a custom sorting scheme when the field you wish to sort by has a defined order which is not alphabetical or numeric, such as when sorting by level of court in legal bibliographies. Using \texttt{matches} is simply more efficient than using many individual \texttt{match} maps in serial.
+
+\biblatexml\ datasources are more structured than \bibtex\ since they are XML. Sourcemapping is possible with \biblatexml\ too but the specifications of source and target fields etc. also support XPath 1.0 paths in order to be able to work with the structured data. Fields can be specified as per the \bibtex\ examples above and these are converted into XPath 1.0 queries internally as necessary. For example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSourcemap{
+ \maps[datatype=biblatexml]{
+ \map{
+ \step[fieldsource=\regexp{./bltx:names[@type='author']/bltx:name[2]/bltx:namepart[@type='family']},
+ match=\regexp{\ASmith},
+ replace={Jones}]
+ }
+ \map{
+ \step[fieldsource=editor, fieldtarget=translator]
+ }
+ \map{
+ \step[fieldsource=\regexp{./bltx:names[@type='editor']},
+ fieldtarget=\regexp{./bltx:names[@type='translator']}]
+ }
+ \map{
+ \step[fieldset=\regexp{./bltx:names[@type='author']/bltx:name[2]/@useprefix},
+ fieldvalue={false}]
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+These maps, respectively,
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Replace the family name <Smith> of the second \bibfield{author} name with <Jones>
+\item Move the \bibfield{editor} to \bibfield{translator}
+\item Move the \bibfield{editor} to \bibfield{translator} but with explicit XPaths
+\item Set the per-namelist \opt{useprefix} option on the \bibfield{author} name list to <false>
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsubsection{Data Model Specification}
+\label{aut:ctm:dm}
+
+The data model which \biblatex uses consists of four main elements:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Specification of constant strings and lists of strings
+\item Specification of valid Entrytypes
+\item Specification of valid Fields along with their type, datatype and any special flags
+\item Specification of which Fields are valid in which Entrytypes
+\item Specification of constraints which can be used to validate data against the data model
+\end{itemize}
+
+The default data model is defined in the core \biblatex file \file{blx-dm.def} using the macros described in this section. The default data model is described in detail in \secref{bib}. The data model is used internally by \biblatex and also by the backend. In practice, changing the data model means that you can define the entrytypes and fields for your datasources and validate your data against the data model. Naturally, this is not much use unless your style supports any new entrytypes or fields and it raises issues of portability between styles (although this can be mitigated by using the dynamic data modification functionality described in \secref{aut:ctm:map}).
+
+Note that while the \biber/\bibtex input site is not case sensitive when it comes to entry types and field names (Perl's Unicode case folding is used to normalise field names and entry types), the \latex side is case sensitive and uses the exact capitalisation from the data model.
+
+Validation against the data model means that after mapping your data sources into the data model, \biber (using its \path{--validate_datamodel} option) can check:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Whether all entrytypes are valid entrytypes
+\item Whether all fields are valid fields for their entrytype
+\item Whether the fields obey various constraints on their format which you specify
+\end{itemize}
+%
+Redefining the data model can be done in several places. Style authors can create a \file{.dbx} file which contains the data model macros required and this will be loaded automatically when using the \biblatex package \opt{style} option by looking for a file named after the style with a \file{.dbx} extension (just like the \file{.cbx} and \file{.bbx} files for a style). If the \opt{style} option is not used but rather the \opt{citestyle} and \opt{bibstyle} options, then the package will try to load \file{.dbx} files called \file{$<$citestyle$>$.dbx} and \file{$<$bibstyle$>$.dbx}.
+Alternatively, the name of the data model file can be different from any of the style option names by specifying the name (without \file{.dbx} extension) to the package \opt{datamodel} option. After loading the style data model file, \biblatex then loads, if present, a users \file{biblatex-dm.cfg} which should be put somewhere \biblatex can find it, just like the main configuration file \sty{biblatex.cfg}. To summarise, the data model is determined by adding to the data model from each of these locations, in order:\\
+
+\noindent\file{blx-dm.def}$\rightarrow$\\
+\hspace*{1em}\file{$<$datamodel option$>$.dbx} $\rightarrow$\\
+\hspace*{2em}\file{$<$style option$>$.dbx} $\rightarrow$\\
+\hspace*{3em}\file{$<$citestyle option$>$.dbx} and \file{$<$bibstyle option$>$.dbx} $\rightarrow$\\
+\hspace*{4em}\file{biblatex-dm.cfg}\\
+
+\noindent It is not possible to add to a loaded data model by using the macros below in your preamble as the preamble is read after \biblatex has defined critical internal macros based on the data model. If any data model macro is used in a document, it will be ignored and a warning will be generated. The data model is defined using the following macros:
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareDatamodelConstant}[options]{name}{constantdef}
+
+Declares the \prm{name} as a datamodel constant with definition \prm{constantdef}. Such constants are typically used internally by \biber.
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\choitem[string]{type}{string, list}
+
+A constant can be a simple string (default if the \prm{type} option is omitted) or a comma"=separated list of strings.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareDatamodelEntrytypes}[options]{entrytypes}
+
+Declares the comma"=separated list of \prm{entrytypes} to be valid entrytypes in the data model. As usual in \tex csv lists, make sure each element is immediately followed by a comma or the closing brace---no extraneous whitespace.
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\boolitem[false]{skipout}
+
+This entrytype is not output to the \file{.bbl}. Typically used for special entrytypes which are processed and consumed by the backend such as \bibtype{xdata}.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareDatamodelFields}[options]{fields}
+
+Declares the comma"=separated list of \prm{fields} to be valid fields in the data model with associated comma"=separated \prm{options}. The \prm{type} and \prm{datatype} options are mandatory. All valid \prm{options} are:
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\valitem{type}{field type}
+
+Set the type of the field as described in \secref{bib:fld:typ}, typically <field> or <list>.
+
+\valitem{format}{field format}
+
+Any special format of the field. Normally unspecified but can take the value <xsv> which tells \biber that this field has a separated values format. The exact separator can be controlled with the \biber option \opt{xsvsep} and defaults to the expected comma surrounded by optional whitespace.
+
+\valitem{datatype}{field datatype}
+
+Set the datatype of the field as described in \secref{bib:fld:typ}. For example, <name> or <literal>.
+
+\boolitem[false]{nullok}
+
+The field is allowed to be defined but empty.
+
+\boolitem[false]{skipout}
+
+The field is not output to the \file{.bbl} and is therefore not present during \biblatex style processing. As usual in \tex csv lists, make sure each element is immediately followed by a comma or the closing brace---no extraneous whitespace.
+
+\boolitem[false]{label}
+
+The field can be used as a label in a bibliography or bibliography list. Specifying this causes \biblatex to create several helper macros for the field so that there are some internal lengths and headings etc. defined.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareDatamodelEntryfields}[entrytypes]{fields}
+
+Declares that the comma"=separated list of \prm{fields} is valid for the comma"=separated list of \prm{entrytypes}. If \prm{entrytypes} is not given, the fields are valid for all entrytypes. As usual in \tex csv lists, make sure each element is immediately followed by a comma or the closing brace---no extraneous whitespace.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareDatamodelMultiscriptEntryfields}{fields}
+
+Declares that the comma"=separated list of \prm{fields} are valid multiscript enabled fields. See \ref{use:multiscript}. As usual in \tex csv lists, make sure each element is immediately followed by a comma or the closing brace---no extraneous whitespace.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareDatamodelConstraints}[entrytypes]{specification}
+
+If a comma"=separated list of \prm{entrytypes} is given, the constraints apply only to those entrytypes. The \prm{specification} is an undelimited list of \cmd{constraint} directives which specify a constraint. Spaces, tabs, and line endings may be used freely to visually arrange the \prm{specification}. Blank lines are not permissible.
+
+\cmditem{constraint}[type=constrainttype]{elements}
+
+Specifies a constraint of type \prm{constrainttype}. Valid constraint types are:
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\choitem{type}{data, mandatory, conditional}
+
+Constraints of type <data> put restrictions on the value of a field. Constraints of type <mandatory> specify which fields or combinations of fields an entrytype should have. Constraints of type <conditional> allow more sophisticated conditional and quantified field constraints.
+
+\choitem{datatype}{integer, isbn, issn, ismn, datepart, pattern}
+
+For constraints of type \prm{data}, constrain field values to be the given datatype.
+
+\valitem{rangemin}{num}
+
+For constraints of \prm{type} <data> and \prm{datatype} <integer>, constrain field values to be at least \prm{num}.
+
+\valitem{rangemax}{num}
+
+For constraints of \prm{type} <data> and \prm{datatype} <integer>, constrain field values to be at most \prm{num}.
+
+\valitem{pattern}{patt}
+
+For constraints of \prm{type} <data> and \prm{datatype} <pattern>, constrain field values to match regular expression pattern \prm{patt}. It is best to wrap any regular expression in the macro \cmd{regexp}, see \secref{aut:ctm:map}.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+A \cmd{constraint} macro may contain any of the following:
+
+\cmditem{constraintfieldsor}{fields}
+
+For constraints of \prm{type} <mandatory>, specifies that an entry must contain a boolean OR of the \cmd{constraintfield}s.
+
+\cmditem{constraintfieldsxor}{fields}
+
+For constraints of \prm{type} <mandatory>, specifies that an entry must contain a boolean XOR of the \cmd{constraintfield}s.
+
+\cmditem{antecedent}[quantifier=quantspec]{fields}
+
+For constraints of \prm{type} <conditional>, specifies a quantified set of \cmd{constraintfield}s which must be satisfied before the \cmd{consequent} of the constraint is checked. \prm{quantspec} should have one of the following values:
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\choitem{quantifier}{all, one, none}
+
+Specifies how many of the \cmd{constrainfield}'s inside the \cmd{antecedent} have to be present to satisfy the antecedent of the conditional constraint.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\cmditem{consequent}[quantifier=quantspec]{fields}
+
+For constraints of \prm{type} <conditional>, specifies a quantified set of \cmd{constraintfield}s which must be satisfied if the preceding \cmd{antecedent} of the constraint was satisfied. \prm{quantspec} should have one of the following values:
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\choitem{quantifier}{all, one, none}
+
+Specifies how many of the \cmd{constraintfield}'s inside the \cmd{consequent} have to be present to satisfy the consequent of the conditional constraint.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\cmditem{constraintfield}{field}
+
+For constraints of \prm{type} <data>, the constraint applies to this \prm{field}. For constraints of \prm{type} <mandatory>, the entry must contain this \prm{field}.
+
+The data model declaration macros may be used multiple times as they append to the previous definitions. In order to replace, change or remove existing definitions (such as the default model which is loaded with \biblatex), you should reset (clear) the current definition and then set what you want using the following macros. Typically, these macros will be the first things in any \file{biblatex-dm.cfg} file:
+
+\cmditem{ResetDatamodelEntrytypes}
+
+Clear all data model entrytype information.
+
+\cmditem{ResetDatamodelFields}
+
+Clear all data model field information.
+
+\cmditem{ResetDatamodelEntryfields}
+
+Clear all data model fields for entrytypes information.
+
+\cmditem{ResetDatamodelMultiscriptEntryfields}
+
+Clear all data model multiscript fields information.
+
+\cmditem{ResetDatamodelConstraints}
+
+Clear all data model fields Constraints information.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+Here is an example of a simple data model. Refer to the core \biblatex file \file{blx-dm.def} for the default data model specification.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\ResetDatamodelEntrytypes
+\ResetDatamodelFields
+\ResetDatamodelEntryfields
+\ResetDatamodelConstraints
+
+\DeclareDatamodelEntrytypes{<<entrytype1, entrytype2>>}
+
+\DeclareDatamodelFields[type=field, datatype=literal]{<<field1,field2,field3,field4>>}
+
+\DeclareDatamodelEntryfields{<<field1>>}
+\DeclareDatamodelEntryfields[entrytype1]{<<field2,field3>>}
+\DeclareDatamodelEntryfields[entrytype2]{<<field2,field3,field4>>}
+
+\DeclareDatamodelConstraints[<<entrytype1>>]{
+ \constraint[type=data, datatype=integer, rangemin=3, rangemax=10]{
+ \constraintfield{<<field1>>}
+ }
+ \constraint[type=mandatory]{
+ \constraintfield{<<field1>>}
+ \constraintfieldsxor{
+ \constraintfield{<<field2>>}
+ \constraintfield{<<field3>>}
+ }
+ }
+}
+\DeclareDatamodelConstraints{
+ \constraint[type=conditional]{
+ \antecedent[quantifier=none]{
+ \constraintfield{<<field2>>}
+ }
+ \consequent[quantifier=all]{
+ \constraintfield{<<field3>>}
+ \constraintfield{<<field4>>}
+ }
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This model specifies:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Clear the default data model completely
+\item Two valid entry types \bibtype{entrytype1} and \bibtype{entrytype2}
+\item Four valid literal field fields
+\item \bibfield{field1} is valid for all entrytypes
+\item \bibfield{field2} and \bibfield{field3} are valid for \bibfield{entrytype1}
+\item \bibfield{field2}, \bibfield{field3} and \bibfield{field4} are valid for \bibtype{entrytype2}
+\item For \bibtype{entrytype1}:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \bibfield{field1} must be an integer between 3 and 10
+ \item \bibfield{field1} must be present
+ \item One and only one of \bibfield{field2} or \bibfield{field3} must be present
+ \end{itemize}
+\item For any entrytype, if \bibfield{field2} is not present, \bibfield{field3} and \bibfield{field4} must be present
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsubsection{Labels}
+\label{aut:ctm:lab}
+
+Alphabetic styles use a label to identify bibliography entries. This label is constructed from components of the entry using a template which describes how to build the label. The template can be customised on a global or per-type basis. A separate template is used to specify how to extract parts of name fields for labels, since names can be quite complex fields.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareLabelalphaTemplate}[]{specification}
+
+Defines the alphabetic label template for the given entrytypes. If no entrytypes are specified in the first argument, then the global label template is defined. The \prm{specification} is an undelimited list of \cmd{labelelement} directives which specify the elements used to build the label. Spaces, tabs, and line endings may be used freely to visually arrange the \prm{specification}. Blank lines are not permissible. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{labelelement}{elements}
+
+Specifies the elements used to build the label. The \prm{elements} are an undelimited list of \cmd{field} or \cmd{literal} commands which are evaluated in the order in which they are given. The first \cmd{field} or \cmd{literal} which expands to a non-empty string is used as the \cmd{labelelement} expansion and the next \cmd{labelelement}, if any, is then processed.
+
+\cmditem{field}[key=value, \dots]{field}
+
+If \prm{field} is non-empty, use it as the current label \cmd{labelelement}, subject to the options below. Useful values for \prm{field} are typically the name list type fields, date fields, and title fields. You may also use the `citekey' or `entrykey` pseudo-fields to specify the citation/entry key as part of the label. Name list fields are treated specially and when a name list field is specified, the template defined with \cmd{DeclareLabelalphaNameTemplate} is used to extract parts from the name which then returns the string that the \cmd{field} option uses. Non-name list fields are treated specially in that the result of the labelpart for the field is the concatenation of applying the template to each item in the list.
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\valitem{form}{string}
+
+The multiscript form of the \prm{field}. Must be one of the <multiscriptforms> constants declared with \cmd{DeclareDatamodelConstant}. See \ref{use:multiscript}. Defaults to the global \opt{msform} option.
+
+\valitem{lang}{bcp47tag}
+
+The multiscript BCP47 language tag of the \prm{field}. Defaults to the global \opt{mslang} option.
+
+\boolitem[false]{final}
+
+This option marks a \cmd{field} directive as the final one in the \prm{specification}. If the \prm{field} is non-empty, then this field is used for the label and the remainder of the \prm{specification} will be ignored. The short form \opt{final} is equivalent to \kvopt{final}{true}.
+
+\boolitem[false]{lowercase}
+
+Forces the label part derived from the field to lowercase. By default, the case is taken from the field source and not modified.
+
+\intitem[1]{strwidth}
+
+The number of characters of the \prm{field} to use. This setting may be overridden by an individual name part when extracting characters from a name. See \cmd{DeclareLabelalphaNameTemplate} below.
+
+\choitem[left]{strside}{left, right}
+
+The side of the string from which to take the \texttt{strwidth} number of characters. This setting may be overridden by an individual name part when extracting characters from a name. See \cmd{DeclareLabelalphaNameTemplate} below.
+
+\choitem[right]{padside}{left, right}
+
+Side to pad the label part when using the \texttt{padchar} option. Only for use with fixed-width label strings (\texttt{strwidth}).
+
+\valitem{padchar}{character}
+
+If present, pads the label part on the \texttt{padside} side with the specified character to the length of \texttt{strwidth}. Only for use with fixed-width label strings (\texttt{strwidth}).
+
+\boolitem[false]{uppercase}
+
+Forces the label part derived from the field to uppercase. By default, the case is taken from the field source and not modified.
+
+\boolitem[false]{varwidth}
+
+Use a variable width, left-side substring of characters from the string returned for \prm{field}. The length of the string is determined by the minimum length needed to disambiguate the substring from all other \prm{field} elements in the same position in the label. For name list fields, this means that each name substring is disambiguated from all other name substrings which occur in the same position in the name list (see examples below). This option overrides \texttt{strwidth} if both are used. The short form \opt{varwidth} is equivalent to \kvopt{varwidth}{true}. For name list fields, the \cmd{namepart}s with the \opt{pre} option set are prepended to the string returned from this disambiguation.
+
+\boolitem[false]{varwidthnorm}
+
+As \texttt{varwidth} but will force the disambiguated substrings for the \prm{field} to be the same length as the longest disambiguated substring. This can be used to regularise the format of the labels if desired. This option overrides \texttt{strwidth} if both are used. The short form \opt{varwidthnorm} is equivalent to \kvopt{varwidthnorm}{true}.
+
+\boolitem[false]{varwidthlist}
+
+Alternative method of automatic label disambiguation where the field as a whole is disambiguated from all other fields in the same label position. For non-name list fields, this is equivalent to \texttt{varwidth}. For name list fields, names in a name list are not disambiguated from other names in the same position in their name lists but instead the entire name list is disambiguated as a whole from other name lists (see examples below). This option overrides \texttt{strwidth} if both are used. The short form \opt{varwidthlist} is equivalent to \kvopt{varwidthlist}{true}. For name list fields, the \cmd{namepart}s with the \opt{pre} option set are prepended to the string returned from this disambiguation.
+
+\intitem{strwidthmax}
+
+When using \texttt{varwidth}, this option sets a limit (in number of characters) on the length of variable width substrings. This option can be used to regularise the label.
+
+\intitem[1]{strfixedcount}
+
+When using \texttt{varwidthnorm}, there must be at least \texttt{strfixedcount} disambiguated substrings with the same, maximal length to trigger the forcing of all disambiguated substrings to this same maximal length.
+
+\valitem{ifnames}{range}
+
+Only use this \cmd{field} specification if it is a name list field with a number of names matching the \texttt{ifnames} range value. This allows a \cmd{labelelement} to be conditionalised on name length (see below). The range can specified as in the following examples:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=xml]
+ifnames=3 -> Only apply to name lists containing exactly 3 names
+ifnames={2-4} -> Only apply to name lists containing minimum 2 and maximum 4 names
+ifnames={-3} -> Only apply to name lists containing at most 3 names
+ifnames={2-} -> Only apply to name lists containing at least 2 names
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+\valitem{names}{range}
+
+By default, for name list fields, the names used range from the first name to the \cnt{maxalphanames}\slash \cnt{minalphanames} truncation. This option can be used to override this with an explicit range of names to consider. The plus <+> sign is a special end of range marker denoting the truncation point of max/minalphanames. The range separator can be any number of characters with the Unicode Dash property. For example:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=xml]
+names=3 -> Use first 3 names in the name list
+names={2-3} -> Use second and thirds names only
+names={-3} -> Same as 1-3
+names={2-} -> Use all names starting with the second name (ignoring max/minalphanames truncation)
+names={2-+} -> Use all names starting with the second name (respecting max/minalphanames truncation)
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+\valitem[empty]{namessep}{string}
+
+An arbitrary string separator to put between names in a namelist.
+
+\boolitem[false]{noalphaothers}
+
+By default, \cmd{labelalphaothers} is appended to label parts derived from name lists if there are more names in the list than are shown in the label part. This option can be used to disable the default behaviour.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\cmditem{literal}{characters}
+
+Insert the literal \prm{characters} into the label at this point.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+%
+When a name list \cmd{field} is specified, the method of extracting the string is specified by a separate template specified by the following command:
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareLabelalphaNameTemplate}[name]{specification}
+
+Defines the \opt{labelalphaname} template \prm{name}. The \prm{name} is optional and defaults to \prm{<global>}.
+
+Such templates specify how to extract a label string from a name list when a \cmd{field} specification in \cmd{DeclareLabelalphaTemplate} contains a name list.
+
+\cmditem{namepart}[options]{namepart}
+
+\prm{namepart} is one of the datamodel nameparts defined with the \cmd{DeclareDatamodelConstant} command (see \secref{aut:bbx:drv}). The \prm{options} are:
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\boolitem[false]{use}
+
+Only use the \prm{namepart} in constructing the label information if there is a corresponding option \opt{use<namepart>} and that option is true.
+
+\boolitem[false]{pre}
+
+When constructing label strings from names, the \cmd{namepart} \emph{without} a \opt{pre} option will be used to construct label string, passing through disambiguation, substring etc. operations as specified by the \cmd{field} options in \cmd{DeclareLabelalpaTemplate}. Then the \cmd{namepart} options \emph{with} the \opt{pre} option set will be prepended to the result, (in the order given, if there are more than one such \cmd{namepart}s). This allows to unconditionally prepend certain namepart information to name label strings, like name prefices. Note that the \opt{uppercase} and \opt{lowercase} options of \cmd{field} in \cmd{DeclareLabelalphaTemplate} are applied to the entire label returned from \cmd{DeclareLabelalphaTemplate}, both \opt{pre} parts and non \opt{pre}.
+
+\boolitem[false]{compound}
+
+For static (non-varwidth) disambiguation in \cmd{DeclareLabelalphaTemplate}, treat nameparts separated by whitespace or hyphens (compound names) as separate names for label generation. This means that when forming a label out of, for example the surname <Ballam Forsyth> with a 1 character, left-side substring, this name would give <BF> with \kvopt{compound}{true} and <B> with \kvopt{compound}{false}. The short form \opt{compound} is equivalent to \kvopt{compound}{true}.
+
+\intitem[1]{strwidth}
+
+The number of characters of the \prm{namepart} to use.
+
+\choitem[left]{strside}{left, right}
+
+The side of the string from which to take the \texttt{strwidth} number of characters.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+Note that the templates for labels can be defined per-type and you should be aware of this when using the automatically disambiguated label functionality. Disambiguation is not per-type as this might lead to ambiguity due to different label formats for different types being isolated from each others disambiguation process. Normally, you will want to use very different label formats for different types to make the type obvious by the label.
+
+Here are some examples. The default global \biblatex alphabetic label template is defined below. Firstly, \bibfield{shorthand} has \kvopt{final}{true} and so if there is a \bibfield{shorthand} field, it is used as the label and nothing more of the template is considered. Next, the \bibfield{label} field is used as the first label element if it exists. Otherwise, if there is only one name (\kvopt{ifnames}{1}) in the \bibfield{labelname} list, then three characters from the left side of the family name in the \bibfield{labelname} are used as the first label element. If the \bibfield{labelname} has more than one name in it, one character from the left side of each family name is used as the first label element. The second label element consists of 2 characters from the right side of the \bibfield{year} field.
+
+The default template for constructing labels from names is also shown. This prepends the first character from the left side of any prefix (if the \opt{useprefix} option is true) to a label extracted from the family name (according to the options on the calling \cmd{field} option from \cmd{DeclareLabelalphaTemplate}), allowing for compound family names.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareLabelalphaTemplate{
+ \labelelement{
+ \field[final]{<<shorthand>>}
+ \field{<<label>>}
+ \field[strwidth=3,strside=left,ifnames=1]{<<labelname>>}
+ \field[strwidth=1,strside=left]{<<labelname>>}
+ }
+ \labelelement{
+ \field[strwidth=2,strside=right]{<<year>>}
+ }
+}
+
+\DeclareLabelalphaNameTemplate{
+ \namepart[use=true, pre=true, strwidth=1, compound=true]{prefix}
+ \namepart{family}
+}
+
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+To get an idea of how the label automatic disambiguation works, consider the following author lists:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Agassi, Chang, Laver (2000)
+Agassi, Connors, Lendl (2001)
+Agassi, Courier, Laver (2002)
+Borg, Connors, Edberg (2003)
+Borg, Connors, Emerson (2004)
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Assuming a template declaration such as:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareLabelalphaTemplate{
+ \labelelement{
+ \field[varwidth]{<<labelname>>}
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Then the labels would be:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Agassi, Chang, Laver [AChLa]
+Agassi, Connors, Lendl [AConLe]
+Agassi, Courier, Laver [ACouLa]
+Borg, Connors, Edberg [BConEd]
+Borg, Connors, Emerson [BConEm]
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+With normalised variable width labels defined:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareLabelalphaTemplate{
+ \labelelement{
+ \field[varwidthnorm]{<<labelname>>}
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+You would get the following as the substrings of names in each position are extended to the length of the longest substring in that same position:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Agassi, Chang, Laver [AChaLa]
+Agassi, Connors, Lendl [AConLe]
+Agassi, Courier, Laver [ACouLa]
+Borg, Connors, Edberg [BConEd]
+Borg, Connors, Emerson [BConEm]
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+With a restriction to two characters for the name components of the label element defined like this:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareLabelalphaTemplate{
+ \labelelement{
+ \field[varwidthnorm,strwidthmax=2]{<<labelname>>}
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This would be the result (note that the individual family name label parts are no longer unambiguous):
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Agassi, Chang, Laver [AChLa]
+Agassi, Connors, Lendl [ACoLe]
+Agassi, Courier, Laver [ACoLa]
+Borg, Connors, Edberg [BCoEd]
+Borg, Connors, Emerson [BCoEm]
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Alternatively, you could choose to disambiguate the name lists as a whole with:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareLabelalphaTemplate{
+ \labelelement{
+ \field[varwidthlist]{<<labelname>>}
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Which would result in:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Agassi, Chang, Laver [AChL]
+Agassi, Connors, Lendl [ACoL]
+Agassi, Courier, Laver [ACL]
+Borg, Connors, Edberg [BCEd]
+Borg, Connors, Emerson [BCE]
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Perhaps you only want to consider at most two names for label generation but disambiguate at the whole name list level:
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareLabelalphaTemplate{
+ \labelelement{
+ \field[varwidthlist,names=2]{<<labelname>>}
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Which would result in:
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Agassi, Chang, Laver [ACh+]
+Agassi, Connors, Lendl [ACo+]
+Agassi, Courier, Laver [AC+]
+Borg, Connors, Edberg [BC+a]
+Borg, Connors, Emerson [BC+b]
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+In this last example, you can see \cmd{labelalphaothers} has been appended to show that there are more names. The last two labels now require disambiguating with \cmd{extraalpha} as there is no way of disambiguating this label name list with only two names.
+
+Finally, here is an example using multiple label elements:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareLabelalphaTemplate{
+ \labelelement{
+ \field[varwidthlist]{<<labelname>>}
+ }
+ \labelelement{
+ \literal{-}
+ }
+ \labelelement{
+ \field[strwidth=3,strside=right]{<<labelyear>>}
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Which would result in:
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Agassi, Chang, Laver [AChL-000]
+Agassi, Connors, Lendl [AConL-001]
+Agassi, Courier, Laver [ACouL-002]
+Borg, Connors, Edberg [BCEd-003]
+Borg, Connors, Emerson [BCEm-004]
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Here is another rather contrived example showing that you don't need to specially quote \latex special characters (apart from <\%>, obviously) when specifying padding characters and literals:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareLabelalphaTemplate{
+ \labelelement{
+ \literal{>}
+ }
+ \labelelement{
+ \literal{\%}
+ }
+ \labelelement{
+ \field[namessep={/}, strwidth=4, padchar=_]{<<labelname>>}
+ }
+ \labelelement{
+ \field[strwidth=3, padchar=&, padside=left]{title}
+ }
+ \labelelement{
+ \field[strwidth=2,strside=right]{<<year>>}
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+which given:
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at Book{test,
+ author = {XXX YY and WWW ZZ},
+ title = {T},
+ year = {2007},
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+would resulting a label looking like this:
+\begin{verbatim}
+[>%YY/ZZ__&&T07]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Generating labels from fields may involve some difficulties when you have fields containing diacritics, hyphens, spaces etc. Often, you want to ignore things like separator characters or spaces when generating labels. An option is provided to customise the regular expression(s) to strip from a field before it is passed to the label generation system.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareNolabel}{specification}
+
+Defines regular expressions to strip from any field before generating a label part for the field. The \prm{specification} is an undelimited list of \cmd{nolabel} directives which specify the regular expressions to remove from fields. Spaces, tabs and line endings may be used freely to visually arrange the \prm{specification}. Blank lines are not permissible. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{nolabel}{regexp}
+
+Any number of \cmd{nolabel} commands can be given each of which specifies to remove the \prm{regexp} from the copy of the field which the label generation system sees. Since regular expressions usually contain special characters, it is best to enclose them in the provided \cmd{regexp} macro as shown---this will pass the expression through to \biber correctly.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+If there is no \cmd{DeclareNolabel} specification, \biber will default to:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareNolabel{
+ % strip punctuation, symbols, separator and control characters
+ \nolabel{\regexp{<<[\p{P}\p{S}\p{C}]+>>}}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This \biber default strips punctuation, symbol, separator and control characters from fields before passing the field string to the label generation system.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareNolabelwidthcount}{specification}
+
+Defines regular expressions to ignore from any field when counting characters in fixed-width substrings. The \prm{specification} is an undelimited list of \cmd{nolabelwidthcount} directives which specify the regular expressions to ignore when counting characters for fixed-width substrings. Spaces, tabs and line endings may be used freely to visually arrange the \prm{specification}. Blank lines are not permissible. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{nolabelwidthcount}{regexp}
+
+Any number of \cmd{nolabelwidthcount} commands can be given each of which specifies to ignore the \prm{regexp} when generating fixed-width substrings during label generation. Since regular expressions usually contain special characters, it is best to enclose them in the provided \cmd{regexp} macro as shown---this will pass the expression through to \biber correctly.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+There is no default \cmd{DeclareNolabelwidthcount} specification. Note that
+this setting is only taken into account when using fixed-width substrings
+(non-varwidth) during label part generation. See \secref{aut:ctm:lab}.
+
+\subsubsection{Sorting}
+\label{aut:ctm:srt}
+
+In addition to the predefined sorting templates discussed in \secref{use:srt}, it is possible to define new ones or modify the default definitions. The sorting process may be customized further by excluding certain fields from sorting on a per-type basis and by automatically populating the \bibfield{presort} field on a per-type basis.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareSortingTemplate}[options]{name}{specification}
+
+Defines the sorting template \prm{name}. The \prm{name} is the identifier passed to the \opt{sorting} option (\secref{use:opt:pre:gen}) when selecting the sorting template. The \cmd{DeclareSortingTemplate} command supports the following optional arguments:
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\choitem{locale}{\prm{locale}}
+
+The locale for the sorting template which then overrides the global sorting locale in the \opt{sortlocale} option discussed in \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+The \prm{specification} is an undelimited list of \cmd{sort} directives which specify the elements to be considered in the sorting process. Spaces, tabs, and line endings may be used freely to visually arrange the \prm{specification}. Blank lines are not permissible. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{sort}{elements}
+
+Specifies the elements considered in the sorting process. The \prm{elements} are an undelimited list of \cmd{field}, \cmd{literal}, \cmd{citecount}, \cmd{intciteorder} and \cmd{citeorder} commands which are evaluated in the order in which they are given. If an element is defined, it is added to the sort key and the sorting routine skips to the next \cmd{sort} directive. If it is undefined, the next element is evaluated. Since literal strings are always defined, any \cmd{literal} commands should be the sole or the last element in a \cmd{sort} directive. All \prm{elements} should be the same datatype as described in \secref{bib:fld:dat} since they will be potentially compared to any of the other \prm{elements} in other entries.. The \cmd{sort} command supports the following optional arguments:
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\choitem{locale}{\prm{locale}}
+
+Override the locale used for sorting at the level of a particular set of sorting elements. If specified, the locale overrides the locale set at the level of \cmd{DeclareSortingTemplate} and also the global setting. See also the discussion of the global sorting locale option \opt{sortlocale} in \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}.
+
+\choitem[ascending]{direction}{ascending, descending}
+
+The sort direction, which may be either \texttt{ascending} or \texttt{descending}. The default is ascending order.
+
+\boolitem[false]{final}
+
+This option marks a \cmd{sort} directive as the final one in the \prm{specification}. If one of the \prm{elements} is available, the remainder of the \prm{specification} will be ignored. The short form \opt{final} is equivalent to \kvopt{final}{true}.
+
+\boolitem{sortcase}
+
+Whether or not to sort case"=sensitively. The default setting depends on the global \opt{sortcase} option.
+
+\boolitem{sortupper}
+
+Whether or not to sort in <uppercase before lowercase> (\texttt{true}) or <lowercase before uppercase> order (\texttt{false}). The default setting depends on the global \opt{sortupper} option.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\cmditem{field}[key=value, \dots]{field}
+
+The \cmd{field} element adds a \prm{field} to the sorting specification. If the \prm{field} is undefined, the element is skipped. The \cmd{field} command supports the following optional arguments:
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\valitem{form}{string}
+
+The multiscript form of the \prm{field}. Must be one of the <multiscriptforms> constants declared with \cmd{DeclareDatamodelConstant}. See \ref{use:multiscript}. Defaults to the global \opt{msform} option.
+
+\valitem{lang}{bcp47tag}
+
+The multiscript BCP47 language tag of the \prm{field}. Defaults to the global \opt{mslang} option.
+
+\choitem[left]{padside}{left, right}
+
+Pads a field on the \texttt{left} or \texttt{right} side using \opt{padchar} so that its width is \opt{padwidth}. If no padding option is set, no padding is done at all. If any padding option is specified, then padding is performed and the missing options are assigned built-in default values. If padding and substring matching are both specified, the substring match is performed first.
+
+\intitem[4]{padwidth}
+
+The target width in characters.
+
+\valitem[0]{padchar}{character}
+
+The character to be used when padding the field.
+
+\choitem[left]{strside}{left, right}
+
+Performs a substring match on the \texttt{left} or \texttt{right} side of the field. The number of characters to match is specified by the corresponding \texttt{strwidth} option. If no substring option is set, no substring matching is performed at all. If any substring option is specified, then substring matching is performed and the missing options are assigned built-in default values. If padding and substring matching are both specified, the substring match is performed first.
+
+\intitem[4]{strwidth}
+
+The number of characters to match.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\cmditem{literal}{string}
+
+The \cmd{literal} element adds a literal \prm{string} to the sorting specification. This is useful as a fallback if some fields are not available.
+
+\csitem{citecount}
+
+The \cmd{citecount} element has a special meaning. It requests a sort based on the number of times an item was cited. The standard \texttt{count} sorting template uses this to provide a sort in descending order of number of citations. Note that the option \opt{citecounter} must also be enabled for this to work. In addition, an additional \biber run is required in order to calculate the data for this option correctly and so the typical invocation sequence for this option is \emph{latex}$\rightarrow$\emph{biber}$\rightarrow$\emph{latex}$\rightarrow$\emph{latex}$\rightarrow$\emph{biber}$\rightarrow$\emph{latex}.
+
+\csitem{citeorder}
+
+The \cmd{citeorder} element has a special meaning. It requests a sort based on the lexical order of the actual citations. For entries cited within the same citation command like:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\cite{one,two}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+there is a distinction between the lexical order and the semantic order. Here «one» and «two» have the same semantic order but a unique lexical order. The semantic order only matters if you specify further sorting to disambiguate entries with the same semantic order. For example, this is the definition of the \opt{none} sorting template:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSortingTemplate{lexical}{
+ \sort{\citeorder}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This sorts the bibliography purely lexically by the order of the keys in the citation commands. In the example above, it sorts «one» before «two». However, suppose that you consider «one» and «two» to have the same order (semantic order) since they are cited at the same time and want to further sort these by year. Suppose «two» has an earlier \bibfield{year} than «one»:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSortingTemplate{lexicalyear}{
+ \sort{\citeorder}
+ \sort{<<year>>}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This sorts «two» before «one», even though lexically, «one» would sort before «two». This is possible because the semantic order can be disambiguated by the further sorting on year. With the standard \opt{none} sorting template, the lexical order and semantic order are identical because there is nothing further to disambiguate them. This means that you can use \cmd{citeorder} just like any other sorting specification element, choosing how to further sort entries cited at the same time (in the same citation command).
+
+See also \cmd{intciteorder} below.
+
+\csitem{intciteorder}
+
+The \cmd{intciteorder} element has a special meaning. It requests a sort based on the lexical order internal to the same citation command. For example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\cite{one,two}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Here both citations have the same \cmd{citeorder} but different \cmd{intciteorder}. This sorting command is basically a more granular form of \cmd{citeorder} so that order can be distinguished for citations within the same citation command. So, for example, with the above example, this will guarantee sorting of <one> before <two>:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSortingTemplate{fulllexical}{
+ \sort{\citeorder}
+ \sort{\intciteorder}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareSortingNamekeyTemplate}[name]{specification}
+
+Defines how the sorting keys for names are constructed. This can change the sorting order of names arbitrarily because you can choose how to put together the name parts when constructing the string to compare when sorting. The sorting key construction template so defined is called \prm{name} which defaults to «global» if this optional parameter is absent. When constructing the sorting key for a name, a sorting key for each name part is constructed and the key for each name is formed into an ordered key list with a special internal separator. The point of this option is to accommodate languages or situations where sorting of names needs to be customised (for example, Icelandic names are sometimes sorted by given names rather than by family names). This macro may be used multiple times to define templates with different names which can then be referred to later. Sorting name key templates can be specified at the following scopes, in order of increasing precedence:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item The default template defined without the optional name argument
+\item Given as the \opt{sortingnamekeytemplate} option to a reference context (see \secref{use:bib:context})
+\item Given as a per-entry option \opt{sortnamekeytemplate} in a bibliography data source entry
+\item Given as a per-namelist option \opt{sortnamekeytemplate}
+\item Given as a per-name option \opt{sortnamekeytemplate}
+\end{itemize}
+
+By default there is only a global template which has the following \prm{specification}:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSortingNamekeyTemplate{
+ \keypart{
+ \namepart[use=true]{<<prefix>>}
+ \namepart{<<family>>}
+ }
+ \keypart{
+ \namepart{<<given>>}
+ }
+ \keypart{
+ \namepart{<<suffix>>}
+ }
+ \keypart{
+ \namepart[use=false]{<<prefix>>}
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This means that the key is constructed by concatenating, in order, the name prefix (only if the \opt{useprefix} option is true) with the family name(s), the given names(s), the name suffix and then the name prefix (only if the \opt{useprefix} option is false). The visible number of names in the name list used to construct the key is the default sorting visibility, see below.
+
+\cmditem{visibility}{visibilityscope}
+
+\prm{visibilityscope} determines which visibility settings to use for the name list. This determines how many names in the name list are visible to the sorting algorithm. This is by default set to <sort>, which is the standard visibility for sorting determined by the \opt{max*/min*names} and \opt{uniquelist} options. \cmd{visibility} can be omitted entirely if this default is desired. The only other scope is <cite> which forces the sorting algorithm to use the name list visibility of the citations rather than that of the reference list sorting. This is useful when using the \opt{sortcites} option in the situation when a style has different name list truncation rules for citations than it has for the reference list. Citations can then be forced to sort using a different reference context that uses a modified sorting name key template that enforces the correct name list truncation for citation sorting with:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSortingNamekeyTemplate[mycitesorttemplate]{
+ \visibilty{cite}
+ .
+ .
+ .
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+and then force this to be used with e.g.:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+ \newrefcontext[sortingnamekeytemplate=mycitesorttemplate]
+ \cite{a,b,c}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+One thing to note is that a reference context will not be written to the \file{.bcf} if no \cmd{printbibliography} or \cmd{printbiblist} occurs within it which will mean that \biber will not generate any sorted data for the refcontext. Therefore if the requirement is to just correctly sort citations using this refcontext, you will need to force the writing of the refcontext using \cmd{GenRefcontextData} (see \secref{use:bib:context}):
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+ % make sure sorting data using this template is
+ % generated since no \printbibliography/\printbiblist
+ % occurs in the refcontext with
+ % sortingnamekeytemplatename=mycitesorttemplate,
+ % this won't happen by default
+ \GenRefcontextData{sortingnamekeytemplatename=mycitesorttemplate}
+ % Switch to this refcontext to use the correct
+ % sorted data using the sorting name key template
+ % which uses "cite" visibility for the name lists
+ \newrefcontext[sortingnamekeytemplate=mycitesorttemplate]
+ % citations are correctly sorted
+ \cite{a,b,c}
+ % Switch to the default sorting name key template
+ % for the actual list of references which uses the
+ % default sorting visibility for the name lists
+ \newrefcontext[sortingnamekeytemplate=global]
+ % references are correctly sorted
+ \printbibliography
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{keypart}{part}
+
+\prm{part} is an ordered list of of \cmd{namepart} and \cmd{literal} specifications which are concatenated together when constructing a part of the name sorting key. The \cmd{keyparts} are then concatenated together with terminal padding to ensure correct sorting.
+
+\cmditem{literal}{string}
+
+A literal string to insert into the name sorting key.
+
+\cmditem{namepart}{name}
+
+Specifies the \prm{name} of a namepart to use in constructing the name sorting key.
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\boolitem[true]{use}
+
+Indicates that the namepart \prm{name} is only to be used in this concatenation position if the corresponding \opt{use<name>} option is set to the specified boolean value.
+
+\boolitem[true]{inits}
+
+Indicates that only the initials of namepart \prm{name} are to be used in
+constructing the sorting specification.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+As an example, suppose you wanted to be able to sort names by given name rather than family name, you could define a sorting name key template like this:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareNamekeyTemplate[givenfirst]{
+ \keypart{
+ \namepart{<<given>>}
+ }
+ \keypart{
+ \namepart[use=true]{<<prefix>>}
+ }
+ \keypart{
+ \namepart{<<family>>}
+ }
+ \keypart{
+ \namepart[use=false]{<<prefix>>}
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+You can then use the name \opt{givenfirst} at the appropriate scope in order to make \biber use this template when constructing sorting name keys. For example, you could enable this for one bibliography list like this:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\begin{refcontext}[sortnamekeytemplate=givenfirst]
+\printbibliography
+\end{refcontext}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+or perhaps you only want to do this for a particular entry:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at BOOK{key,
+ OPTIONS = {sortnamekeytemplate=givenfirst},
+ AUTHOR = {Arnar Vigfusson}
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+or just a name list by using the option as a pseudo-name which will be ignored:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at BOOK{key,
+ AUTHOR = {sortnamekeytemplate=givenfirst and Arnar Vigfusson}
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+or just a single name by passing the option as part of the extended name information
+format which \biber supports (see \secref{use:enf}):
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at BOOK{key,
+ AUTHOR = {given=Arnar, family=Vigfusson, sortnamekeytemplate=givenfirst}
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Now we give some examples of sorting templates. In the first example, we define a simple name\slash title\slash year template. The name element may be either the \bibfield{author}, the \bibfield{editor}, or the \bibfield{translator}. Given this specification, the sorting routine will use the first element which is available and continue with the \bibfield{title}. Note that the options \opt{use$<$name$>$} options are considered automatically in the sorting process:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSortingTemplate{sample}{
+ \sort{
+ \field{<<author>>}
+ \field{<<editor>>}
+ \field{<<translator>>}
+ }
+ \sort{
+ \field{<<title>>}
+ }
+ \sort{
+ \field{<<year>>}
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+In the next example, we define the same template in a more elaborate way, considering special fields such as \bibfield{presort}, \bibfield{sortkey}, \bibfield{sortname}, etc. Since the \bibfield{sortkey} field specifies the master sort key, it needs to override all other elements except for \bibfield{presort}. This is indicated by the \opt{final} option. If the \bibfield{sortkey} field is available, processing will stop at this point. If not, the sorting routine continues with the next \cmd{sort} directive. This setup corresponds to the default definition of the \texttt{nty} template:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSortingTemplate{nty}{
+ \sort{
+ \field{<<presort>>}
+ }
+ \sort[final]{
+ \field{<<sortkey>>}
+ }
+ \sort{
+ \field{<<sortname>>}
+ \field{<<author>>}
+ \field{<<editor>>}
+ \field{<<translator>>}
+ \field{<<sorttitle>>}
+ \field{<<title>>}
+ }
+ \sort{
+ \field{<<sorttitle>>}
+ \field{<<title>>}
+ }
+ \sort{
+ \field{<<sortyear>>}
+ \field{<<year>>}
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Finally, here is an example of a sorting template which overrides the global sorting locale and additionally overrides again when sorting by the \bibfield{origtitle} field. Note the use in the template-level override of a babel/polyglossia language name instead of a real locale identifier. \biber will map this to a suitable, real locale identifier (in this case, \texttt{sv\_SE}):
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSortingTemplate[locale=swedish]{custom}{
+ \sort{
+ \field{<<sortname>>}
+ \field{<<author>>}
+ \field{<<editor>>}
+ \field{<<translator>>}
+ \field{<<sorttitle>>}
+ \field{<<title>>}
+ }
+ \sort[locale=de_DE_phonebook]{
+ \field{<<origtitle>>}
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareSortExclusion}{entrytype, \dots}{field, \dots}
+
+Specifies fields to be excluded from sorting on a per-type basis. The \prm{entrytype} argument and the \prm{field} argument may be a comma"=separated list of values. A blank \prm{field} argument will clear all exclusions for this \prm{entrytype}. A value of <*> for \prm{entrytype} will exclude \prm{field,\dots} for every entrytype. This is equivalent to simply deleting the field from the sorting specification and is only normally used in combination with \cmd{DeclareSortInclusion} when one wishes to exclude a field for all but explicitly included entrytypes. See example in \cmd{DeclareSortInclusion} below. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareSortInclusion}{entrytype, \dots}{field, \dots}
+
+Only used along with \cmd{DeclareSortExclusion}. Specifies fields to be included in sorting on a per-type basis. This allows the user to exclude a field from sorting for all entrytypes and then to override this for certain entrytypes. This is easier sometimes than using \cmd{DeclareSortExclusion} to list exclusions for many entrytypes. The \prm{entrytype} argument and the \prm{field} argument may be a comma"=separated list of values. This command may only be used in the preamble. For example, this would use \bibfield{title} during sorting only for \bibtype{article}s:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareSortExclusion{*}{title}
+\DeclareSortInclusion{article}{title}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{DeclarePresort}[entrytype, \dots]{string}
+
+Specifies a string to be used to automatically populate the \bibfield{presort} field of entries without a \bibfield{presort} field. The \bibfield{presort} may be defined globally or on a per-type basis. If the optional \prm{entrytype} argument is given, the \prm{string} applies to the respective entry type. If not, it serves as the global default value. Specifying an \prm{entrytype} in conjunction with a blank \prm{string} will clear the type-specific setting. The \prm{entrytype} argument may be a comma"=separated list of values. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareSortTranslit}[entrytype]{specification}
+
+Languages which can be written in different scripts or alphabets often only have CLDR sorting tailoring for one script and it is expected that you transliterate into the supported script for sorting purposes. A common example is Sanskrit which is often written in academic contexts in IAST
+romanised script but which needs to be sorted in the <sa> locale which expects the Devanāgarī script. Another common case is transliteration of Russian Cyrillic into Latin as defined by the ALA-LC standard. Such requirement means that it is necessary to transliterate into the sorting script internally. \cmd{DeclareSortTranslit} declares which parts of an entry you would like to transliterate for sorting purposes. Without the \prm{entrytype} parameter, the \prm{specification} applies to all entrytypes. The \prm{specification} is one or more \cmd{translit} commands:
+
+\cmditem{translit}[langids]{field or fieldset}{from}{to}
+
+Specifies that the data field \bibfield{field} or all fields in a fieldset \prm{fieldset} declared with \cmd{DeclareDatafieldSet} (see \secref{aut:ctm:dsets}) should be transliterated from script \prm{from} to script \prm{to} for sorting purposes. The field/set argument should be <*> to apply transliteration to all fields. The valid \prm{from} and \prm{to} values are given in table \ref{tab:translit}. The optional \prm{langids} parameter is a comma-separated list of \bibfield{langid} fields and the transliteration will apply only to bibliography entries containing one of the \bibfield{langid}s in the list. Note that \biblatex does not aim to support general transliteration, only those which are useful for sorting purposes. Please open a GitHub ticket for \biblatex\ if you think you need additional transliterations.
+
+An example of transliterating titles so that they sort correctly in Sanskrit. This example assumes that entries that should have their title fields transliterated have a \bibfield{langid} field set to <sanskrit>.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareDatafieldSet{settitles}{
+ \member[field=title]
+ \member[field=booktitle]
+ \member[field=eventtitle]
+ \member[field=issuetitle]
+ \member[field=journaltitle]
+ \member[field=maintitle]
+ \member[field=origtitle]
+}
+
+\DeclareSortTranslit{

+\subsubsection[Bibliography List Filters]{Bibliography List Filters}
+\label{aut:ctm:bibfilt}
+
+When using customisable bibliography lists (See \secref{use:bib:biblist}), usually one wants to return in the \file{.bbl} only those entries which have the particular fields which the bibliography list is summarising. For example, when printing a normal list of shorthands, you want the list returned by \biber in the \file{.bbl} to contain only those entries which have a \bibfield{shorthand} field. This is accomplished by defining a bibliography list filter using the \cmd{DeclareBiblistFilter} command. This differs from the filters defined using \cmd{defbibfilter} (see \secref{use:bib:flt}) since the filters defined by \cmd{defbibfilter} run inside \biblatex after the \file{.bbl} has been generated.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+\cmditem{DeclareBiblistFilter}{name}{specification}
+
+Defines a bibliography list filter with \prm{name}. The \prm{specification} consists of one or more \cmd{filter} or \cmd{filteror} macros, all of which must be satisfied for the entry to pass the filter:
+
+\cmditem{filter}[filterspec]{filter}
+
+Filter entries according to the \prm{filterspec} and \prm{filter}. \prm{filterspec} can be one of:
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\begin{description}
+\item[type/nottype] Entry is/is not of \bibfield{entrytype} \prm{filter}
+\item[subtype/notsubtype] Entry is/is not of \bibfield{subtype} \prm{filter}
+\item[keyword/notkeyword] Entry has/does not have \bibfield{keyword} \prm{filter}
+\item[field/notfield] Entry has/does not have a field called \prm{filter}
+\end{description}
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+\cmditem{filteror}{type}{filters}
+
+A wrapper around one or more \cmd{filter} commands specifying that they form a disjunctive set, i.e. any one of the \prm{filters} must be satisfied.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+Fields in the datamodel which are marked as <Label fields> (see \secref{aut:ctm:dm}) automatically have a filter defined for them with the same name and which filters out any entries which do no contain the field. For example, \biblatex automatically generates a filter for the \bibfield{shorthand} field:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareBiblistFilter{<<shorthand>>}{
+ \filter[type=field,filter=shorthand]
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\subsubsection{Controlling Name Initials Generation}
+\label{aut:ctm:noinit}
+
+Generating initials for name parts from a given name involves some difficulties when you have names with prefixes, diacritics, hyphens etc. Often, you want to ignore things like prefixes when generating initials so that the initials for «al-Hasan» is just «H» instead of «a-H». This is tricky when you also have names like «Ho-Pun» where you want the initials to be «H-P», for example.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareNoinit}{specification}
+
+Defines regular expressions to strip from names before generating initials. The \prm{specification} is an undelimited list of \cmd{noinit} directives which specify the regular expressions to remove from the name. Spaces, tabs and line endings may be used freely to visually arrange the \prm{specification}. Blank lines are not permissible. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{noinit}{regexp}
+
+Any number of \cmd{noinit} commands can be given each of which specifies to remove the \prm{regexp} from the copy of the name which the initials generation system sees. Since regular expressions usually contain special characters, it is best to enclose them in the provided \cmd{regexp} macro as shown---this will pass the expression through to \biber correctly.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+If there is no \cmd{DeclareNoinit} specification, \biber will default to:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareNoinit{
+ % strip lowercase prefixes like 'al-' when generating initials from names
+ \noinit{\regexp{<<\b\p{Ll}{2}\p{Pd}>>}}
+ % strip some common diacritics when generating initials from names
+ \noinit{\regexp{<<[\x{2bf}\x{2018}]>>}}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This \biber default strips a couple of diacritics and also strips lowercase prefixes from names before generating initials.
+
+\subsubsection{Fine Tuning Sorting}
+\label{aut:ctm:nosort}
+
+It can be useful to fine tune sorting so that it ignores certain parts of particular fields.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareNosort}{specification}
+
+Defines regular expressions to strip from particular fields or types of fields when sorting. The \prm{specification} is an undelimited list of \cmd{nosort} directives which specify the regular expressions to remove from particular fields or type of field. Spaces, tabs and line endings may be used freely to visually arrange the \prm{specification}. Blank lines are not permissible. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{nosort}{field or datafield set}{regexp}
+
+Any number of \cmd{nosort} commands can be given each of which specifies to remove the \prm{regexp} from the \prm{field} or \prm{datafield set}. A \prm{datafield set} is simply a convenience grouping of semantically similar fields from which you might want to remove a regexp. See \secref{aut:ctm:dsets} for the available sets, their members and customisation. Since regular expressions usually contain special characters, it is best to enclose them in the provided \cmd{regexp} macro as shown---this will pass the expression through to \biber correctly.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+The default is:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareNosort{
+ % strip prefixes like 'al-' when sorting names
+ \nosort{setnames}{\regexp{<<\A\p{L}{2}\p{Pd}>>}}
+ % strip some diacritics when sorting names
+ \nosort{setnames}{\regexp{<<[\x{2bf}\x{2018}]>>}}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This \biber default strips a couple of diacritics and also strips two-letter prefixes (like «Al-») from names when sorting. Suppose you wanted to ignore «The» at the beginning of the \bibfield{title} field when sorting:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareNosort{
+ \nosort{<<title>>}{\regexp{<<\AThe\s+>>}}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Or if you wanted to ignore «The» at the beginning of any title field:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareNosort{
+ \nosort{<<settitles>>}{\regexp{<<\AThe\s+>>}}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\subsubsection{Fine Tuning hashing and uniquename}
+\label{aut:ctm:nonamestring}
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+\cmditem{DeclareNonamestring}{specification}
+
+Defines regular expressions to strip from name fields when
+generating \bibfield{fullhash} and \bibfield{uniquename}. The \prm{specification} is an undelimited list of \cmd{nonamestring} directives which specify the regular expressions to remove from particular name fields. Spaces, tabs and line endings may be used freely to visually arrange the \prm{specification}. Blank lines are not permissible. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{nonamestring}{namefield or datafield name set}{regexp}
+
+Any number of \cmd{nonamestring} commands can be given each of which
+specifies to remove the \prm{regexp} from the \prm{namefield} or
+\prm{datafield name set}. A \prm{datafield name set} is simply a
+convenience grouping of semantically similar fields from which you might
+want to remove a regexp. See \secref{aut:ctm:dsets} for the available sets,
+their members and customisation. Only set of name lists are relevant to
+this command. Since regular expressions usually contain special characters,
+it is best to enclose them in the provided \cmd{regexp} macro as
+shown---this will pass the expression through to \biber correctly.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+Suppose you wanted to ignore square brackets in names in the
+\bibfield{author} name field and treat <D[onald] Knuth> the same as <Donald
+Knuth> for purposes \bibfield{uniquename} and hashing so that both variants
+appeared together in a dashed bibliography style and were also treated the
+same when calculating \bibfield{uniquename}:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareNonamestring{
+ \nonamestring{<<author>>}{\regexp{<<[\[\]]>>}}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+For consistency, it is often desirable to use the same regexp in \cmd{DeclareNosort}.
+
+
+\subsubsection{Special Fields}
+\label{aut:ctm:fld}
+
+Some of the automatically generated fields from \secref{aut:bbx:fld:lab} may be customized.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareLabelname}[entrytype, \dots]{specification}
+
+Defines the fields to consider when generating the \bibfield{labelname} field (see \secref{aut:bbx:fld:lab}). The \prm{specification} is an ordered list of \cmd{field} commands. The fields are checked in the order listed and the first field which is available will be used as \bibfield{labelname}. This is the default definition:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareLabelname{%
+ \field{shortauthor}
+ \field{author}
+ \field{shorteditor}
+ \field{editor}
+ \field{translator}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The \bibfield{labelname} field may be customized globally or on a per-type basis. If the optional \prm{entrytype} argument is given, the specification applies to the respective entry type. If not, it is applied globally. The \prm{entrytype} argument may be a comma"=separated list of values. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{field}[key=value, \dots]{field}
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\valitem{form}{string}
+
+The multiscript form of the \prm{field}. Must be one of the <multiscriptforms> constants declared with \cmd{DeclareDatamodelConstant}. See \ref{use:multiscript}. Defaults to the global \opt{msform} option.
+
+\valitem{lang}{bcp47tag}
+
+The multiscript BCP47 language tag of the \prm{field}. Defaults to the global \opt{mslang} option.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareLabeldate}[entrytype, \dots]{specification}
+
+Defines the date components to consider when generating \bibfield{labelyear}, \bibfield{labelmonth}, \bibfield{labelday}, \bibfield{labelendyear}, \bibfield{labelendmonth} and \bibfield{labelendday} fields (see \secref{aut:bbx:fld:lab}). The \prm{specification} is an ordered list of \cmd{field} or \cmd{literal} commands. The items are checked in the order listed and the first item which is available will be used to popluate the mentioned fields. Note that the \cmd{field} items do not have to be datetype <date> in the data model so that you can create pseudo-year labels by, for example, using a \bibfield{pubstate} field contents, if available, as the year label by defining \cmd{DeclareLabeldate} suitably. Note also that a \cmd{literal} command will always be used when found and so this should always be the last thing in the list. If the value of a \cmd{literal} command is a valid localisation string, then this will be resolved in the current language, otherwise the value is used as a literal string as-is. This is the default definition:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareLabeldate{%
+ \field{date}
+ \field{year}
+ \field{eventdate}
+ \field{origdate}
+ \field{urldate}
+ \literal{nodate}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Note that the \bibfield{date} field is split by the backend into \bibfield{year}, \bibfield{month} which are also valid fields in the default data model. In order to support legacy data which directly sets \bibfield{year} and/or \bibfield{month}, the specification <\bibfield{date}> in \cmd{DeclareLabeldate} will also match \bibfield{year} and \bibfield{month} fields, if present.
+The \bibfield{label*} fields may be customized globally or on a per-type basis. If the optional \prm{entrytype} argument is given, the specification applies to the respective entry type. If not, it is applied globally. The \prm{entrytype} argument may be a comma"=separated list of values. This command may only be used in the preamble. See also \secref{aut:bbx:fld:dat}.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareExtradate}{specification}
+
+Defines which date information used to construct the \bibfield{extradate} field. With the default setting for \cmd{DeclareExtradateContext}, this field (see \secref{aut:bbx:fld:lab}) is printed to disambiguate works by the same \bibfield{labelname} (usually the author) or \bibfield{labeltitle} (usually the main title) which occur in the same date scope. By default, the date scope is the year and so two works by the same author/title within the same year will have different \bibfield{extradate} values which are used to disambiguate the works in the bibliography in the usual manner seen in many authoryear type styles. The \prm{specification} is one or more \cmd{scope} specifications which can contain one or more \cmd{field} specifications. Within a \cmd{scope}, the existence of each \cmd{field} will be checked and if found, the first \cmd{field} is used and the rest are ignored. This allows a fallback in case certain fields are not available in all entries. All \cmd{scope}s are used to track information and \cmd{scope}s should be specified in decreasing order of generality (e.g. year then month then day etc) The default definition is:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareExtradate{%
+ \scope{
+ \field{labelyear}
+ \field{year}
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This means that the \bibfield{labelyear} field only (or \bibfield{year} if this does not exist) will be used to track works by the same author. With the following datasource entries:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at BOOK{extra1,
+ AUTHOR = {John Doe},
+ DATE = {2001-01}
+}
+
+ at BOOK{extra2,
+ AUTHOR = {John Doe},
+ DATE = {2001-02}
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+The default definition would result in:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Doe 2001a
+Doe 2001b
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Here, \bibfield{extradate} only considers the \bibfield((label)year) information and since this is identical, disambiguation is required. However, consider the following definition:
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareExtradate{%
+ \scope{
+ \field{labelyear}
+ \field{year}
+ }
+ \scope{
+ \field{labelmonth}
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The result would be:
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Doe 2001
+Doe 2001
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+If only years were printed, this would be ambiguous because \bibfield{extradate} now considers \bibfield{labelmonth} and since this differs, no disambiguation is necessary. Care should therefore be taken to synchronise the printed information with the \bibfield{extradate} disambiguation settings. Notice that the second definition is <month-in-year> disambiguation and quite different from:
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareExtradate{%
+ \scope{
+ \field{labelmonth}
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+which is just plain <month> disambiguation which is very unlikely to be what you ever want to do since this disambiguation only based on month and ignores the year entirely. \bibfield{extradate} calculation should almost always be based on all information down to the resolution you require. For example, if you wish to disambiguate right down to the hour level (perhaps useful in large bibliographies of rapidly changing online material), you would specify something like this:
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareExtradate{%
+ \scope{
+ \field{labelyear}
+ \field{year}
+ }
+ \scope{
+ \field{labelmonth}
+ }
+ \scope{
+ \field{labelday}
+ }
+ \scope{
+ \field{labelhour}
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Entries without the specified granularity of information will disambiguate at the lowest granularity they contain, so, for example, with:
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareExtradate{%
+ \scope{
+ \field{labelyear}
+ \field{year}
+ }
+ \scope{
+ \field{labelmonth}
+ }
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at BOOK{extra1,
+ AUTHOR = {John Doe},
+ DATE = {2001}
+}
+
+ at BOOK{extra2,
+ AUTHOR = {John Doe},
+ DATE = {2001}
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+The result would still be:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Doe 2001a
+Doe 2001b
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareExtradateContext}[entrytype, \dots]{specification}
+
+Defines the context in which identical dates (as determined by \cmd{DeclareExtradate}) are tracked so that \bibfield{extradate} can be appended for disambiguation purposes. Normally this context is the author name so that works of the same date by the same author can be disambiguated in authoryear type styles. Often, when there is no author, the title appears in the author position and the title is used as the context to disambiguate instead. Therefore, the default definition is:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareExtradateContext{%
+ \field{labelname}
+ \field{labeltitle}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+It is unlikely that this will need to be customised for normal use cases.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareLabeltitle}[entrytype, \dots]{specification}
+
+Defines the fields to consider when generating the \bibfield{labeltitle} field (see \secref{aut:bbx:fld:lab}). The \prm{specification} is an ordered list of \cmd{field} commands. The fields are checked in the order listed and the first field which is available will be used as \bibfield{labeltitle}. This is the default definition:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareLabeltitle{%
+ \field{shorttitle}
+ \field{title}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The \bibfield{labeltitle} field may be customized globally or on a per-type basis. If the optional \prm{entrytype} argument is given, the specification applies to the respective entry type. If not, it is applied globally. The \prm{entrytype} argument may be a comma"=separated list of values. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{field}[key=value, \dots]{field}
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\valitem{form}{string}
+
+The multiscript form of the \prm{field}. Must be one of the <multiscriptforms> constants declared with \cmd{DeclareDatamodelConstant}. See \ref{use:multiscript}. Defaults to the global \opt{msform} option.
+
+\valitem{lang}{bcp47tag}
+
+The multiscript BCP47 language tag of the \prm{field}. Defaults to the global \opt{mslang} option.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Data Inheritance (\bibfield{crossref})}
+\label{aut:ctm:ref}
+
+\biber features a highly customizable cross-referencing mechanism with flexible data inheritance rules. This sections deals with the configuration interface. See \apxref{apx:ref} for the default configuration. A note on terminology: the \emph{child} or \emph{target} is the entry with the \bibfield{crossref} field, the \emph{parent} or \emph{source} is the entry the \bibfield{crossref} field points to. The child inherits data from the parent. For multiscript enabled fields (\ref{use:multiscript}), all alternates of the field are inherited.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DefaultInheritance}[exceptions]{options}
+
+Configures the default inheritance behavior. This command may only be used in the preamble. The default behavior may be customized be setting the following \prm{options}:
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\boolitem[true]{all} Whether or not to inherit all fields from the parent by default.
+
+\kvopt{all}{true} means that the child entry inherits all fields from the parent, unless a more specific inheritance rule has been set up with \cmd{DeclareDataInheritance}. If an inheritance rule is defined for a field, data inheritance is controlled by that rule. \kvopt{all}{false} means that no data is inherited from the parent by default and each field to be inherited requires an explicit inheritance rule set up with \cmd{DeclareDataInheritance}. The package default is \kvopt{all}{true}.
+
+\boolitem[false]{override} Whether or not to overwrite target fields with source fields if both are defined. This applies both to automatic inheritance and to explicit inheritance rules. The package default is \kvopt{override}{false}, \ie existing fields of the child entry are not overwritten.
+
+\valitem{ignore}{csv list of uniqueness options}
+
+This option takes a comma-separated list of one of more of <singletitle>, <uniquetitle>, <uniquebaretitle> and/or <uniquework>. The purpose of this option is to ignore tracking information for these three options when the field which would trigger the tracking (\tabref{use:opt:wu}) is inherited. An example---Suppose that you have several \bibtype{book} entries which all crossref a \bibtype{mvbook} from which they get their \bibfield{author} field. You might reasonably want the \cmd{ifsingletitle} test to return <true> for this author as their only <work> is the \bibtype{mvbook}. Similar comments would apply to situations involving the \cmd{ifuniquetitle}, \cmd{ifuniquebaretitle} and \cmd{ifuniquework} tests. The \opt{ignore} option lists which of these should have their tracking information ignored when the fields which would trigger them are inherited. The idea is that the presence of an inherited field does not contribute towards the determination of whether some combination of name/title is unique in the bibliographic data. For example, this modified default setting would ignore \opt{singletitle} and \opt{uniquetitle} tracking:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DefaultInheritance{ignore={singletitle,uniquetitle}, all=true, override=false}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Of course, the ignoring of tracking does nothing if the fields inherited do not play a role in tracking. Only the fields listed in \tabref{use:opt:wu} are relevant to this option.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+The optional \prm{exceptions} are an undelimited list of \cmd{except} directives. Spaces, tabs, and line endings may be used freely to visually arrange the \prm{exceptions}. Blank lines are not permissible.
+
+\cmditem{except}{source}{target}{options}
+
+Defines an exception to the default inheritance rules.
+
+\cmd{DeclareDataInheritance} sets the inheritance \prm{options} for a specific \prm{source} and \prm{target} combination. The \prm{source} and \prm{target} arguments specify the parent and the child entry type. The asterisk matches all types and is permissible in either argument.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareDataInheritance}[options]{source, \dots}{target, \dots}{rules}
+
+Declares inheritance rules. The \prm{source} and \prm{target} arguments specify the parent and the child entry type. Either argument may be a single entry type, a comma"=separated list of types, or an asterisk. The asterisk matches all entry types. The \prm{rules} are an undelimited list of \cmd{inherit} and\slash or \cmd{noinherit} directives. Spaces, tabs, and line endings may be used freely to visually arrange the \prm{rules}. Blank lines are not permissible. This command may only be used in the preamble. The options are:
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\valitem{ignore}{csv list of uniqueness options}
+
+As the \opt{ignore} option on \cmd{DefaultInheritance} explained above. When set here, it takes precedence over any global options set with \cmd{DefaultInheritance}. For example, this would ignore \opt{singletitle} and \opt{uniquetitle} tracking for a \bibtype{book} inheriting from a \bibtype{mvbook}.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareDataInheritance[ignore={singletitle,uniquetitle}]{mvbook}{book}{<<...>>}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\cmditem{inherit}[option]{source}{target}
+
+Defines an inheritance rule by mapping a \prm{source} field to a \prm{target} field. \prm{option} can be one of
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\boolitem[false]{override}
+
+As the \opt{override} option for \cmd{DefaultInheritance} explained above. When set here, it takes precedence over any global options set with \cmd{DefaultInheritance}.
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\cmditem{noinherit}{source}
+
+Unconditionally prevents inheritance of the \prm{source} field.
+
+\csitem{ResetDataInheritance}
+
+Clears all inheritance rules defined with \cmd{DeclareDataInheritance}. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+Here are some practical examples:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DefaultInheritance{<<all=true>>,<<override=false>>}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This example shows how to configure the default inheritance behavior. The above settings are the package defaults.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DefaultInheritance[
+ \except{<<*>>}{<<online>>}{<<all=false>>}
+]{all=true,override=false}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This example is similar to the one above but adds one exception: entries of type \bibtype{online} will, by default, not inherit any data from any parent.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareDataInheritance{<<collection>>}{<<incollection>>}{
+ \inherit{<<title>>}{<<booktitle>>}
+ \inherit{<<subtitle>>}{<<booksubtitle>>}
+ \inherit{<<titleaddon>>}{<<booktitleaddon>>}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+So far we have looked at setting up standard inheritance. For example, \kvopt{all}{true} means that the \bibfield{publisher} field of a source entry is copied to the \bibfield{publisher} field of the target entry. In some cases, however, asymmetric mappings are required. They are defined with \cmd{DeclareDataInheritance}. The above example sets up three typical rules for \bibtype{incollection} entries referencing a \bibtype{collection}. We map the \bibfield{title} and related fields of the source to the corresponding \bibfield{booktitle} fields of the target.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareDataInheritance{<<mvbook,book>>}{<<inbook,bookinbook>>}{
+ \inherit{<<author>>}{<<author>>}
+ \inherit{<<author>>}{<<bookauthor>>}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This rule is an example of one-to-many mapping: it maps the \bibfield{author} field of the source to both the \bibfield{author} and the \bibfield{bookauthor} fields of the target in order to allow for compact \bibfield{inbook}\slash \bibfield{bookinbook} entries. The source may be either a \bibtype{mvbook} or a \bibtype{book} entry, the target either an \bibtype{inbook} or a \bibtype{bookinbook} entry.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareDataInheritance{<<*>>}{<<inbook,incollection>>}{
+ \noinherit{<<introduction>>}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This rule prevents inheritance of the \bibfield{introduction} field. It applies to all targets of type
+\bibtype{inbook} or \bibtype{incollection}, regardless of the source entry type.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareDataInheritance{<<*>>}{<<*>>}{
+ \noinherit{<<abstract>>}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This rule, which applies to all entries, regardless of the source and target entry types, prevents inheritance of the \bibfield{abstract} field.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DefaultInheritance{all=true,override=false}
+\ResetDataInheritance
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This example demonstrates how to emulate traditional \bibtex's cross"=referencing mechanism. It enables inheritance by default, disables overwriting, and clears all other inheritance rules and mappings.
+
+In a bibliography entry, you can give an option <noinherit> where the value
+is a datafield set defined with \cmd{DeclareDatafieldSet}
+(\secref{aut:ctm:dsets}). This will block inheritance of the fields in the
+set on a per-entry basis. For example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareDatafieldSet{nobtitle}{
+ \member[field=booktitle]
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at INBOOK{s1,
+ OPTIONS = {noinherit=nobtitle},
+ TITLE = {Subtitle},
+ CROSSREF = {s2}
+}
+
+ at BOOK{s2,
+ TITLE = {Title}
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Here, \bibfield{s1} will not inherit the \bibfield{TITLE} of \bibfield{s2}
+as \bibfield{BOOKTITLE} as this is blocked by the datafield set given as
+the value to the \opt{noinherit} option.
+%
+One important thing to note is that children will never inherit any dateparts of a given type if they already contain a datepart of that type. So, for example:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+ at INBOOK{b1,
+ DATE = {2004-03-03},
+ ORIGDATE = {2004-03},
+ CROSSREF = {b2}
+}
+
+ at BOOK{b2,
+ DATE = {2004-03-03/2005-08-09},
+ ORIGDATE = {2004-03/2005-08},
+ EVENTDATE = {2004-03/2005-08},
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Here, \bibfield{b1} will not inherit any of \bibfield{endyear}, \bibfield{endmonth}, \bibfield{endday}, \bibfield{origendyear} or \bibfield{origendmonth} as this would make a mess of its own dates. It will, given the inheritance defaults, inherit all of the \bibfield{event*} date parts.

+\subsection{Auxiliary Commands}
+\label{aut:aux}
+
+The facilities in this section are intended for analyzing and saving bibliographic data rather than formatting and printing it.
+
+\subsubsection{Data Commands}
+\label{aut:aux:dat}
+
+The commands in this section grant low"=level access to the unformatted bibliographic data. They are not intended for typesetting but rather for things like saving data to a temporary macro so that it may be used in a comparison later.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{thefield}[msform][mslang]{field}
+
+Expands to the unformatted \prm{field} (for a multiscript field, \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang} may be specified, otherwise, the global or refcontext override values of \opt{msform}/\opt{mslang} are used). If the \prm{field} is undefined, this command expands to an empty string.
+
+\cmditem{strfield}[msform][mslang]{field}
+
+Similar to \cmd{thefield}, except that the field is automatically sanitized such that its value may safely be used in the formation of a control sequence name.
+
+\cmditem{csfield}[msform][mslang]{field}
+
+Similar to \cmd{thefield}, but prevents expansion.
+
+\cmditem{usefield}{command}[msform][mslang]{field}
+
+Executes \prm{command} using the unformatted \prm{field} as its argument (for a multiscript field, \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang} may be specified, otherwise, the global or refcontext override values of \opt{msform}/\opt{mslang} are used).

If the list is undefined, this command expands to an empty string. Note that this command will dump the \prm{literal list} in the internal format used by this package. This format is not suitable for printing.
+
+\cmditem{strlist}[msform][mslang]{literal list}
+
+Similar to \cmd{thelist} (for a multiscript list, \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang} may be specified, otherwise, the global or refcontext override values of \opt{msform}/\opt{mslang} are used), except that the list internal representation is automatically sanitized such that its value may safely be used in the formation of a control sequence name.

+
+Expands to the unformatted \prm{name list} (for a multiscript name, \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang} may be specified, otherwise, the global or refcontext override values of \opt{msform}/\opt{mslang} are used). If the list is undefined, this command expands to an empty string. Note that this command will dump the \prm{name list} in the internal format used by this package. This format is not suitable for printing.
+
+\cmditem{strname}[msform][mslang]{name list}
+
+Similar to \cmd{thename}, except that the name internal representation is automatically sanitized such that its value may safely be used in the formation of a control sequence name.
+
+\cmditem{savefield}[msform][mslang]{field}{macro}
+\cmditem*{savefield*}{field}{macro}
+
+Copies an unformatted \prm{field} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) to a \prm{macro}. The regular variant of this command defines the \prm{macro} globally, the starred one works locally.
+
+\cmditem{savelist}[msform][mslang]{literal list}{macro}
+\cmditem*{savelist*}{literal list}{macro}
+
+Copies an unformatted \prm{literal list} (optionally a multiscript list of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) to a \prm{macro}. The regular variant of this command defines the \prm{macro} globally, the starred one works locally.

+\cmditem*{savename*}{name list}{macro}
+
+Copies an unformatted \prm{name list} (optionally a multiscript name of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) to a \prm{macro}. The regular variant of this command defines the \prm{macro} globally, the starred one works locally.
+
+\cmditem{savefieldcs}[msform][mslang]{field}{csname}
+\cmditem*{savefieldcs*}{field}{csname}
+
+Similar to \cmd{savefield}, but takes the control sequence name \prm{csname} (without a leading backslash) as an argument, rather than a macro name.
+
+\cmditem{savelistcs}[msform][mslang]{literal list}{csname}
+\cmditem*{savelistcs*}{literal list}{csname}
+
+Similar to \cmd{savelist}, but takes the control sequence name \prm{csname} (without a leading backslash) as an argument, rather than a macro name.
+
+\cmditem{savenamecs}[msform][mslang]{name list}{csname}
+\cmditem*{savenamecs*}{name list}{csname}
+
+Similar to \cmd{savename}, but takes the control sequence name \prm{csname} (without a leading backslash) as an argument, rather than a macro name.
+
+\cmditem{restorefield}[msform][mslang]{field}{macro}
+
+Restores a \prm{field} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) from a \prm{macro} defined with \cmd{savefield} before. The field is restored within a local scope.
+
+\cmditem{restorelist}[msform][mslang]{literal list}{macro}
+

+\cmditem[msform][mslang]{clearfield}{field}
+
+Clears the \prm{field} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang} of which both or neither optional arguments must be provided) within a local scope. A field cleared this way is treated as undefined by subsequent data commands. When no optional \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang} arguments are provided, clears all alternates of a multiscript field.
+
+\cmditem[msform][mslang]{clearlist}{literal list}
+
+Clears the \prm{literal list} (optionally a multiscript list of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang} of which both or neither optional arguments must be provided) within a local scope. A list cleared this way is treated as undefined by subsequent data commands. When no optional \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang} arguments are provided, clears all alternates of a multiscript list. Clearing only one alternate of a multiscript list does not clear the associated counters for the list.
+
+\cmditem{clearname}{name list}
+
+Clears the \prm{name list} (optionally a multiscript name of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang} of which both or neither optional arguments must be provided) within a local scope. A name cleared this way is treated as undefined by subsequent data commands. When no optional \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang} arguments are provided, clears all alternates of a multiscript name. Clearing only one alternate of a multiscript name does not clear the associated counters for the list.

+\subsubsection{Stand-alone Tests}
+\label{aut:aux:tst}
+
+The commands in this section are various kinds of stand"=alone tests for use in bibliography and citation styles.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{ifmsentryfield}{entryfield}{true}{false}
+
+Returns true if the \prm{entryfield} (i.e. data source field name, regardless of \biblatex type of field) is a multiscript field and false otherwise. Only multiscript fields have alternate forms and languages which can be selected with the \prm{msform} and \prm{mslang} options to various macros.
+
+\cmditem{if$<$datetype$>$julian}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the date <datetype>date (\opt{date}, \opt{urldate}, \opt{eventdate} etc.) Was converted to the Julian Calendar due to the settings of the \opt{julian}and \opt{gregorianstart} options.
+
+\cmditem{ifdatejulian}{true}{false}
+
+As \cmd{if$<$datetype$>$julian} but for use in \cmd{mkbibdate*} formatting commands (\secref{aut:fmt:lng}) inside which the appropriate \cmd{if$<$datetype$>$julian} command is aliased to this command.
+
+\cmditem{if$<$datetype$>$dateera}{era}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the date <datetype>date (\opt{date}, \opt{urldate}, \opt{eventdate} etc.) has an era specification equal to \prm{era} and \prm{false} otherwise. The supported \prm{era} strings which \biber determines and passes in the \file{.bbl} are:
+
+\begin{description}
+\item[bce]~BCE/BC era
+\item[ce]~CE/AD era
+\end{description}
+
+This command is useful for determining whether to print the location
+strings in \secref{aut:lng:key:dt}.

+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the date <datetype>date (\opt{date}, \opt{urldate}, \opt{eventdate} etc.) had a <circa> marker in the source and \prm{false} otherwise. See \secref{bib:use:dat}. This command is useful for determining whether to print the location strings in \secref{aut:lng:key:dt}.
+
+\cmditem{ifdatecirca}{true}{false}
+
+As \cmd{if$<$datetype$>$datecirca} but for use in \cmd{mkbibdate*} formatting commands (\secref{aut:fmt:lng}) inside which the appropriate \cmd{if$<$datetype$>$datecirca} command is aliased to this command.
+
+\cmditem{if$<$datetype$>$dateuncertain}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the date <datetype>date (\opt{date}, \opt{urldate}, \opt{eventdate} etc.) had an uncertainty marker in the source and \prm{false} otherwise. See \secref{bib:use:dat}. This command is useful for determining whether to print, for example, a question mark after a year.
+
+\cmditem{ifdateuncertain}{true}{false}
+
+As \cmd{if$<$datetype$>$dateuncertain} but for use in \cmd{mkbibdate*} formatting commands (\secref{aut:fmt:lng}) inside which the appropriate \cmd{if$<$datetype$>$dateuncertain} command is aliased to this command.
+
+\cmditem{ifenddateuncertain}{true}{false}
+
+As \cmd{ifend$<$datetype$>$dateuncertain} but for use in \cmd{mkbibdate*} formatting commands (\secref{aut:fmt:lng}) inside which the appropriate \cmd{ifend$<$datetype$>$dateuncertain} command is aliased to this command.
+
+\cmditem{if$<$datetype$>$dateunknown}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the date <datetype>date (\opt{date}, \opt{urldate}, \opt{eventdate} etc.) is marked as unknown (as opposed to open) in the source and \prm{false} otherwise. See \secref{bib:use:dat}.
+
+\cmditem{ifdateunknown}{true}{false}
+
+As \cmd{if$<$datetype$>$dateunknown} but for use in \cmd{mkbibdate*} formatting commands (\secref{aut:fmt:lng}) inside which the appropriate \cmd{if$<$datetype$>$dateunknown} command is aliased to this command.

+
+As \cmd{ifend$<$datetype$>$dateunknown} but for use in \cmd{mkbibdate*} formatting commands (\secref{aut:fmt:lng}) inside which the appropriate \cmd{ifend$<$datetype$>$dateunknown} command is aliased to this command.
+
+\cmditem{iflabeldateisdate}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if labeldate is defined and was obtained from date, and to \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{ifdatehasyearonlyprecision}{datetype}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the \prm{datetype}date is defined and would be shown with year precision \cmd{print$<$datetype$>$date}, and to false otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{ifdatehastime}{datetype}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the \prm{datetype}date is defined, has a time component and \opt{$<$datetype$>$dateusetime} is true, and to false otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{ifdateshavedifferentprecision}{datetype1}{datetype2}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the two dates \prm{datetype1} and \prm{datetype2} would show in different precision when printed with \cmd{print$<$datetype1$>$date} and \cmd{print$<$datetype2$>$date} respectively, and to \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{ifdateyearsequal}{datetype1}{datetype2}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the two dates \prm{datetype1} and \prm{datetype2} have the same year and era. Since the sign of the date is saved in the era field, years should be compared using this command to avoid confusion when the two years have opposite signs
+
+\cmditem{ifdatesequal}{datetype1}{datetype2}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the two dates \prm{datetype1} and \prm{datetype2} are the same. Here \prm{datetype2} may be the <end> bit of \prm{datetype1} (or vice versa).
+
+\cmditem{ifdaterangesequal}{datetype1}{datetype2}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the two date ranges---that is the start and the end date---\prm{datetype1} and \prm{datetype2} are the same.
+
+
+\cmditem{ifcaselang}[language]{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the optional \prm{language} is one of those
+declared by \cmd{DeclareCaseLangs} (see \secref{aut:aux:msc}) and to
+\prm{false} otherwise. Without the optional argument, checks the current
+value of \cmd{currentlang}.
+
+\cmditem{ifsortingnamekeytemplatename}{string}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the \prm{string} is equal to the current in scope sorting name key template name (see \secref{aut:ctm:srt}), and to \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{ifuniquenametemplatename}{string}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the \prm{string} is equal to the current in scope uniqueness name key template name (see \secref{aut:ctm:srt}), and to \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{iflabelalphanametemplatename}{string}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the \prm{string} is equal to the current in scope alphabetic label name template name (see \secref{aut:ctm:srt}), and to \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{ifentryfieldundef}{entryfield}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the \prm{entryfield} is undefined, and to \prm{false} otherwise. \prm{entryfield} is the name of any entry field, regardless of type (field, list, name etc.). This allows testing to see if there are \emph{any} alternates of an entryfield defined.
+
+\cmditem{iffieldundef}[msform][mslang]{field}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the \prm{field} is undefined, and to \prm{false} otherwise. For a multiscript field, \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang} may be specified to test a specific field alternate. If \prm{msform} and \prm{mslang} are not specified, this macro tests to see if \emph{any} alternates for a field are defined.
+
+\cmditem{iflistundef}{literal list}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the \prm{literal list} is undefined, and to \prm{false} otherwise. For a multiscript list, \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang} may be specified to test a specific list alternate. If \prm{msform} and \prm{mslang} are not specified, this macro tests to see if \emph{any} alternates for a field are defined.
+
+\cmditem{ifnameundef}[msform][mslang]{name list}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the \prm{name list} is undefined, and to \prm{false} otherwise. For a multiscript name, \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang} may be specified to test a specific name alternate. If \prm{msform} and \prm{mslang} are not specified, this macro tests to see if \emph{any} alternates for a field are defined.
+

+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the values of \prm{field 1} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform1}/\prm{mslang1}) and \prm{field 2} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform2}/\prm{mslang2}) are equal, and to \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{iflistsequal}[msform1][mslang1]{literal list 1}[msform2][mslang2]{literal list 2}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the values of \prm{literal list 1} (optionally a multiscript list of \prm{msform1}/\prm{mslang1}) and \prm{literal list 2} (optionally a multiscript list of \prm{msform2}/\prm{mslang2}) are equal, and to \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{ifnamesequal}[msform1][mslang1]{name list 1}[msform2][mslang2]{name list 2}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the values of \prm{name list 1} (optionally a multiscript name of \prm{msform1}/\prm{mslang1}) and \prm{name list 2} (optionally a multiscript name of \prm{msform2}/\prm{mslang2}) are equal, and to \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{iffieldequals}[msform][mslang]{field}{macro}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the value of the \prm{field} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) is equal to the definition of \prm{macro}, and to \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{iflistequals}[msform][mslang]{literal list}{macro}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the value of the \prm{literal list} (optionally a multiscript list of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) is equal to the definition of \prm{macro}, and to \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{ifnameequals}[msform][mslang]{name list}{macro}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the value of the \prm{name list} (optionally a multiscript name of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) is equal to the definition of \prm{macro}, and to \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{iffieldequalcs}[msform][mslang]{field}{csname}{true}{false}
+
+Similar to \cmd{iffieldequals} but takes the control sequence name \prm{csname} (without a leading backslash) as an argument, rather than a macro name.
+
+\cmditem{iflistequalcs}[msform][mslang]{literal list}{csname}{true}{false}
+
+Similar to \cmd{iflistequals} but takes the control sequence name \prm{csname} (without a leading backslash) as an argument, rather than a macro name.
+
+\cmditem{ifnameequalcs}[msform][mslang]{name list}{csname}{true}{false}
+
+Similar to \cmd{ifnameequals} but takes the control sequence name \prm{csname} (without a leading backslash) as an argument, rather than a macro name.
+
+\cmditem{iffieldequalstr}[msform][mslang]{field}{string}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the value of the \prm{field} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) is equal to \prm{string}, and \prm{false} otherwise. This command is robust.
+
+\cmditem{iffieldxref}[msform][mslang]{field}{true}{false}
+
+If the \bibfield{crossref}\slash \bibfield{xref} field of an entry is defined, this command checks if the \prm{field} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) is related to the cross"=referenced parent entry. It executes \prm{true} if the \prm{field} of the child entry is equal to the corresponding \prm{field} of the parent entry, and \prm{false} otherwise. If the \bibfield{crossref}\slash \bibfield{xref} field is undefined, it always executes \prm{false}. This command is robust. See the description of the \bibfield{crossref} and \bibfield{xref} fields in \secref{bib:fld:spc} as well as \secref{bib:cav:ref} for further information concerning cross"=referencing.
+
+\cmditem{iflistxref}[msform][mslang]{literal list}{true}{false}
+
+Similar to \cmd{iffieldxref} but checks if a \prm{literal list} (optionally a multiscript list of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) is related to the cross"=referenced parent entry. See the description of the \bibfield{crossref} and \bibfield{xref} fields in \secref{bib:fld:spc} as well as \secref{bib:cav:ref} for further information concerning cross"=referencing.
+
+\cmditem{ifnamexref}[msform][mslang]{name list}{true}{false}
+
+Similar to \cmd{iffieldxref} but checks if a \prm{name list} (optionally a multiscript name of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) is related to the cross"=referenced parent entry. See the description of the \bibfield{crossref} and \bibfield{xref} fields in \secref{bib:fld:spc} as well as \secref{bib:cav:ref} for further information concerning cross"=referencing.
+
+\cmditem{ifcurrentfield}{field}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the current field is \prm{field}, and \prm{false} otherwise. This command is robust. It is intended for use in field formatting directives and always executes \prm{false} when used in any other context.
+
+\cmditem{ifcurrentlist}{literal list}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the current list is \prm{literal list}, and \prm{false} otherwise. This command is robust. It is intended for use in list formatting directives and always executes \prm{false} when used in any other context.
+
+\cmditem{ifcurrentname}{name list}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the current list is \prm{name list}, and \prm{false} otherwise. This command is robust. It is intended for use in list formatting directives and always executes \prm{false} when used in any other context.
+
+\cmditem{ifuseprefix}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the \opt{useprefix} option is enabled (either globally or for the current entry), and \prm{false} otherwise. See \secref{use:opt:bib} for details on this option.
+
+\cmditem{ifuseauthor}{true}{false}
+
+This is just a particular case of the \cmd{ifuse$<$name$>$} macro below but is mentioned here as \bibfield{author} is part of the default data model. Expands to \prm{true} if the \opt{useauthor} option is enabled (either globally or for the current entry), and \prm{false} otherwise. See \secref{use:opt:bib} for details on this option.
+
+\cmditem{ifuseeditor}{true}{false}
+
+This is just a particular case of the \cmd{ifuse$<$name$>$} macro below but is mentioned here as \bibfield{editor} is part of the default data model. Expands to \prm{true} if the \opt{useeditor} option is enabled (either globally or for the current entry), and \prm{false} otherwise. See \secref{use:opt:bib} for details on this option.
+
+\cmditem{ifusetranslator}{true}{false}
+
+This is just a particular case of the \cmd{ifuse$<$name$>$} macro below but is mentioned here as \bibfield{translator} is part of the default data model. Expands to \prm{true} if the \opt{usetranslator} option is enabled (either globally or for the current entry), and \prm{false} otherwise. See \secref{use:opt:bib} for details on this option.
+
+\cmditem{ifuse$<$name$>$}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the \opt{use$<$name$>$} option is enabled (either globally or for the current entry), and \prm{false} otherwise. See \secref{use:opt:bib} for details on this option.
+
+\cmditem{ifcrossrefsource}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the entry was inclued in the \file{.bbl} due to being referenced more than \opt{mincrossrefs} times and false otherwise. See \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}. Also expands to false if the entry was directly cited.
+
+\cmditem{ifxrefsource}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the entry was inclued in the \file{.bbl} due to being referenced more than \opt{minxrefs} times and false otherwise. See \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}. Also expands to false if the entry was directly cited.
+
+\cmditem{ifsingletitle}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if there is only one work by the \opt{labelname} name in the bibliography, and to \prm{false} otherwise. If \opt{labelname} is not set for an entry, this will always expand to \prm{false}. Note that this feature needs to be enabled explicitly with the package option \opt{singletitle}.
+
+\cmditem{ifnocite}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the entry was \emph{only} included in the \file{.bbl} via \cmd{nocite}. That is, returns \prm{false} if an entry was both \cmd{nocite}'d and \cmd{cite}'d.
+
+\cmditem{ifuniquetitle}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if there is only one work with the title \opt{labeltitle} and to \prm{false} otherwise. If \opt{labeltitle} is not set for an entry, this will always expand to \prm{false}. Note that this feature needs to be enabled explicitly with the package option \opt{uniquetitle}.
+
+\cmditem{ifuniquebaretitle}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if \bibfield{labelname} is empty and there is only one work with the title \opt{labeltitle} and to \prm{false} otherwise. If \opt{labeltitle} is not set for an entry, this will always expand to \prm{false}. Note that this feature needs to be enabled explicitly with the package option \opt{uniquebaretitle}.
+
+\cmditem{ifuniquework}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if there is only one work by the \opt{labelname} name with the \opt{labeltitle} title in the bibliography, and to \prm{false} otherwise. If neither \opt{labelname} nor \opt{labeltitle} are set for an entry, this will always expand to \prm{false}. Note that this feature needs to be enabled explicitly with the package option \opt{uniquework}. If both \bibfield{singletitle} and \bibfield{uniquetitle} are false for the same entry, this could be because another entry has the same \bibfield{labdlname} and yet another, different, entry has the same \bibfield{labeltitle}. \bibfield{uniquework} would let you know that there is another entry that has \emph{both} the same \bibfield{labelname} \emph{and} the same \bibfield{labeltitle}. This could be helpful in cases where multiple people maintain bibliography datasources and there is a risk of adding the same work with different keys without other parties realising this. This test could help to find such duplicates.
+
+\cmditem{ifuniqueprimaryauthor}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the primary (first) author name of \opt{labelname} is unique in the bibliography list and to \prm{false} otherwise. This effectively answers the question <is there more than one author with the same base name>. The base name parts are defined by \cmd{DeclareUniquenameTemplate} see \secref{aut:cav:amb}. This is required by some styles (e.g. APA) which mandates primary author disambiguation only and only if there are (different) primary authors with the same family name. If \opt{labelname} is not set for an entry, this will always expand to \prm{false}. Note that this feature needs to be enabled explicitly with the package option \opt{uniqueprimaryauthor}.
+
+\cmditem{ifandothers}{list}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the \prm{list} is defined and has been truncated in the \file{bib} file with the keyword <\texttt{and others}>, and to \prm{false} otherwise. The \prm{list} may be a literal list or a name list.
+
+\cmditem{ifmorenames}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the current name list has been or will be truncated, and to \prm{false} otherwise. This command is intended for use in formatting directives for name lists. It will always expand to \prm{false} when used elsewhere. This command performs the equivalent of an \cmd{ifandothers} test for the current list. If this test is negative, it also checks if the \cnt{listtotal} counter is larger than \cnt{liststop}. This command may be used in a formatting directive to decide if a note such as «and others» or «et al.» is to be printed at the end of the list. Note that you still need to check whether you are in the middle or at the end of the list, \ie whether \cnt{listcount} is smaller than or equal to \cnt{liststop}, see \secref{aut:bib:dat} for details.
+
+\cmditem{ifmoreitems}{true}{false}
+
+This command is similar to \cmd{ifmorenames} but checks the current literal list. It is intended for use in formatting directives for literal lists. It will always expand to \prm{false} when used elsewhere.
+
+\cmditem{if$<$namepart$>$inits}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} or \prm{false}, depending on the state of the \opt{$<$namepart$>$inits} package option (see \secref{use:opt:pre:int}). This command is intended for use in formatting directives for name lists.
+
+\cmditem{ifterseinits}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} or \prm{false}, depending on the state of the \opt{terseinits} package option (see \secref{use:opt:pre:int}). This command is intended for use in formatting directives for name lists.
+
+\cmditem{ifentrytype}{type}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the entry type of the entry currently being processed is \prm{type}, and \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{ifkeyword}{keyword}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the \prm{keyword} is found in the \bibfield{keywords} field of the entry currently being processed, and \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{ifentrykeyword}{entrykey}{keyword}{true}{false}
+
+A variant of \cmd{ifkeyword} which takes an entry key as its first argument. This is useful for testing an entry other than the one currently processed. A user-facing version of this command is available for use in documents see \secref{use:eq}.
+
+\cmditem{ifcategory}{category}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the entry currently being processed has been assigned to a \prm{category} with \cmd{addtocategory}, and \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{ifentrycategory}{entrykey}{category}{true}{false}
+
+A variant of \cmd{ifcategory} which takes an entry key as its first argument. This is useful for testing an entry other than the one currently processed. A user-facing version of this command is available for use in documents see \secref{use:eq}
+
+\cmditem{ifciteseen}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the entry currently being processed has been cited before, and \prm{false} otherwise. This command is robust and intended for use in citation styles. If there are any \env{refsection} environments in the document, the citation tracking is local to these environments. Note that the citation tracker needs to be enabled explicitly with the package option \opt{citetracker}. The behavior of this test depends on the mode the citation tracker is operating in, see \secref{use:opt:pre:int} for details. If the citation tracker is disabled, the test always yields \prm{false}. Also see the \cmd{citetrackertrue} and \cmd{citetrackerfalse} switches in \secref{aut:aux:msc}.
+
+\cmditem{ifentryseen}{entrykey}{true}{false}
+
+A variant of \cmd{ifciteseen} which takes an entry key as its first argument. Since the \prm{entrykey} is expanded prior to performing the test, it is possible to test for entry keys in a field such as \bibfield{xref}:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\ifentryseen{<<\thefield{xref}>>}{true}{false}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Apart from the additional argument, \cmd{ifentryseen} behaves like \cmd{ifciteseen}. A user-facing version of this command is available for use in documents see \secref{use:eq}.
+
+\cmditem{ifentryinbib}{entrykey}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the entry \prm{entrykey} appears in the current bibliography, and \prm{false} otherwise. A user-facing version of this command is available for use in documents see \secref{use:eq}.
+
+\cmditem{iffirstcitekey}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the entry currently being processed is the first one in the citation list, and \prm{false} otherwise. This command relies on the \cnt{citecount}, \cnt{citetotal}, \cnt{multicitecount} and \cnt{multicitetotal} counters (\secref{aut:fmt:ilc}) and thus is intended for use only in the \prm{loopcode} of a citation command defined with \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand}.
+
+\cmditem{iflastcitekey}{true}{false}
+
+Similar \cmd{iffirstcitekey}, but executes \prm{true} if the entry currently being processed is the last one in the citation list, and \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{ifciteibid}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the entry currently being processed is the same as the last one, and to \prm{false} otherwise. This command is intended for use in citation styles. If there are any \env{refsection} environments in the document, the tracking is local to these environments. Note that the <ibidem> tracker needs to be enabled explicitly with the package option \opt{ibidtracker}. The behavior of this test depends on the mode the tracker is operating in, see \secref{use:opt:pre:int} for details. If the tracker is disabled, the test always yields \prm{false}. Also see the \cmd{citetrackertrue} and \cmd{citetrackerfalse} switches in \secref{aut:aux:msc}.
+
+\cmditem{ifciteidem}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the primary name (\ie the author or editor) in the entry currently being processed is the same as the last one, and to \prm{false} otherwise. This command is intended for use in citation styles. If there are any \env{refsection} environments in the document, the tracking is local to these environments. Note that the <idem> tracker needs to be enabled explicitly with the package option \opt{idemtracker}. The behavior of this test depends on the mode the tracker is operating in, see \secref{use:opt:pre:int} for details. If the tracker is disabled, the test always yields \prm{false}. Also see \cmd{citetrackertrue} and \cmd{citetrackerfalse} in \secref{aut:aux:msc}.
+
+\cmditem{ifopcit}{true}{false}
+
+This command is similar to \cmd{ifciteibid} except that it expands to \prm{true} if the entry currently being processed is the same as the last one \emph{by this author or editor}. Note that the <opcit> tracker needs to be enabled explicitly with the package option \opt{opcittracker}. The behavior of this test depends on the mode the tracker is operating in, see \secref{use:opt:pre:int} for details. If the tracker is disabled, the test always yields \prm{false}. Also see the \cmd{citetrackertrue} and \cmd{citetrackerfalse} switches in \secref{aut:aux:msc}.
+
+\cmditem{ifloccit}{true}{false}
+
+This command is similar to \cmd{ifopcit} except that it also compares the \prm{postnote} arguments and expands to \prm{true} only if they match and are numerical (in the sense of \cmd{ifnumerals} from \secref{aut:aux:tst}), \ie \cmd{ifloccit} will yield \texttt{true} if the citation refers to the same page cited before. Note that the <loccit> tracker needs to be enabled explicitly with the package option \opt{loccittracker}. The behavior of this test depends on the mode the tracker is operating in, see \secref{use:opt:pre:int} for details. If the tracker is disabled, the test always yields \prm{false}. Also see the \cmd{citetrackertrue} and \cmd{citetrackerfalse} switches in \secref{aut:aux:msc}.
+
+\cmditem{iffirstonpage}{true}{false}
+
+The behavior of this command is responsive to the package option \opt{pagetracker}. If the option is set to \texttt{page}, it expands to \prm{true} if the current item is the first one on the page, and to \prm{false} otherwise. If the option is set to \texttt{spread}, it expands to \prm{true} if the current item is the first one on the double-page spread, and to \prm{false} otherwise. If the page tracker is disabled, this test always yields \prm{false}. Depending on the context, the <item> may be a citation or an entry in the bibliography or a bibliography list. Note that this test distinguishes between body text and footnotes. For example, if used in the first footnote on a page, it will expand to \prm{true} even if there is a citation in the body text prior to the footnote. Also see the \cmd{pagetrackertrue} and \cmd{pagetrackerfalse} switches in \secref{aut:aux:msc}.
+
+\cmditem{ifsamepage}{instance 1}{instance 2}{true}{false}
+
+This command expands to \prm{true} if two instances of a reference are located on the same page or double-page spread, and to \prm{false} otherwise. An instance of a reference may be a citation or an entry in the bibliography or a bibliography list. These instances are identified by the value of the \cnt{instcount} counter, see \secref{aut:fmt:ilc}. The behavior of this command is responsive to the package option \opt{pagetracker}. If this option is set to \texttt{spread}, \cmd{ifsamepage} is in fact an <if same spread> test. If the page tracker is disabled, this test always yields \prm{false}. The arguments \prm{instance 1} and \prm{instance 2} are treated as integer expressions in the sense of \etex's \cmd{numexpr}. This implies that it is possible to make calculations within these arguments, for example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\ifsamepage{<<\value>>{instcount}}{<<\value>>{instcount}<<-1>>}{true}{false}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+Note that \cmd{value} is not prefixed by \cmd{the} and that the subtraction is included in the second argument in the above example. If \prm{instance 1} or \prm{instance 2} is an invalid number (for example, a negative one), the test yields \prm{false}. Also note that this test does not distinguish between body text and footnotes. Also see the \cmd{pagetrackertrue} and \cmd{pagetrackerfalse} switches in \secref{aut:aux:msc}.
+
+\cmditem{ifinteger}{string}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the \prm{string} is a positive integer, and \prm{false} otherwise. This command is robust.
+
+\cmditem{hascomputableequivalent}{string}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the \prm{string} can be transformed into a \latex-computable integer consisting only of \acr{US-ASCII} characters via \cmd{getcomputableequivalent} and \prm{false} otherwise.
+The mapping from non-\acr{US-ASCII} to \acr{US-ASCII} numerals will usually be given in the \file{lbx} file.
+
+\cmditem{ifiscomputable}{string}{true}{false}
+
+Returns \prm{true} if \cmd{ifinteger} or \cmd{hascomputableequivalent} retrurns \prm{true} on \prm{string} and \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{getcomputableequivalent}{string}{macro}
+
+Saves the \acr{US-ASCII} representation of the number given as \prm{string} in \prm{macro}.
+
+\cmditem{ifnumeral}{string}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the \prm{string} is an Arabic or Roman numeral, and \prm{false} otherwise. This command is robust. See also \cmd{DeclareNumChars} and \cmd{NumCheckSetup} in \secref{aut:aux:msc}.
+
+\cmditem{ifnumerals}{string}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if the \prm{string} is a range or a list of Arabic or Roman numerals, and \prm{false} otherwise. This command is robust. In contrast to \cmd{ifnumeral}, it will also execute \prm{true} with arguments like «52--58», «14/15», «1,~3,~5», and so on. See also \cmd{DeclareNumChars}, \cmd{DeclareRangeChars}, \cmd{DeclareRangeCommands}, \cmd{NumCheckSetup}, and \cmd{NumsCheckSetup} in \secref{aut:aux:msc}.
+
+\cmditem{ifpages}{string}{true}{false}
+
+Similar to \cmd{ifnumerals}, but also considers \cmd{DeclarePageCommands} and \cmd{PagesCheckSetup} from \secref{aut:aux:msc}.
+
+\cmditem{iffieldint}[msform][mslang]{field}{true}{false}
+
+Similar to \cmd{ifinteger}, but uses the value of a \prm{field} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) rather than a literal string in the test. If the \prm{field} is undefined, it executes \prm{false}.
+
+\cmditem{fieldhascomputableequivalent}[msform][mslang]{field}{true}{false}
+
+Similar to \cmd{hascomputableequivalent}, but uses the value of a \prm{field} rather than a literal string in the test. If the \prm{field} is undefined, it executes \prm{false}.
+
+\cmditem{iffieldiscomputable}[msform][mslang]{field}{true}{false}
+
+Similar to \cmd{ifiscomputable}, but uses the value of a \prm{field} rather than a literal string in the test. If the \prm{field} is undefined, it executes \prm{false}.
+
+\cmditem{iffieldnum}[msform][mslang]{field}{true}{false}
+
+Similar to \cmd{ifnumeral}, but uses the value of a \prm{field} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) rather than a literal string in the test. If the \prm{field} is undefined, it executes \prm{false}.
+
+\cmditem{iffieldnums}[msform][mslang]{field}{true}{false}
+
+Similar to \cmd{ifnumerals}, but uses the value of a \prm{field} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) rather than a literal string in the test. If the \prm{field} is undefined, it executes \prm{false}.
+
+\cmditem{iffieldpages}[msform][mslang]{field}{true}{false}
+
+Similar to \cmd{ifpages}, but uses the value of a \prm{field} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) rather than a literal string in the test. If the \prm{field} is undefined, it executes \prm{false}.
+
+\cmditem{ifbibstring}{string}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the \prm{string} is a known localisation key, and to \prm{false} otherwise. The localisation keys defined by default are listed in \secref{aut:lng:key}. New ones may be defined with \cmd{NewBibliographyString}.
+
+\cmditem{ifbibxstring}{string}{true}{false}
+
+Similar to \cmd{ifbibstring}, but the \prm{string} is expanded.
+
+\cmditem{iffieldbibstring}[msform][mslang]{field}{true}{false}
+
+Similar to \cmd{ifbibstring}, but uses the value of a \prm{field} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) rather than a literal string in the test. If the \prm{field} is undefined, it expands to \prm{false}.
+
+\cmditem{iffieldplusstringbibstring}[msform][mslang]{field}{string}{true}{false}
+
+Similar to \cmd{iffieldbibstring}, but appends \prm{string} to the value of \prm{field} (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}) and checks if the resulting string is a known localisation key. Expands to \prm{false} if \prm{field} is undefined.
+
+\cmditem{ifdriver}{entrytype}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if a driver for the \prm{entrytype} is available, and to \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{ifcapital}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if \biblatex's punctuation tracker would capitalize a localisation string at the current location, and \prm{false} otherwise. This command is robust. It may be useful for conditional capitalization of certain parts of a name in a formatting directive.
+
+\cmditem{ifcitation}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} when located in a citation, and to \prm{false} otherwise. Note that this command is responsive to the outermost context in which it is used. For example, if a citation command defined with \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand} executes a driver defined with \cmd{DeclareBibliographyDriver}, any \cmd{ifcitation} tests in the driver code will yield \prm{true}. See \secref{aut:cav:mif} for a practical example.
+
+\cmditem{ifvolcite}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} when located in \cmd{volcite} or a related citation command (\secref{use:cit:spc}), and to \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{ifbibliography}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} when located in a bibliography, and to \prm{false} otherwise. Note that this command is responsive to the outermost context in which it is used. For example, if a driver defined with \cmd{DeclareBibliographyDriver} executes a citation command defined with \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand}, any \cmd{ifbibliography} tests in the citation code will yield \prm{true}. See \secref{aut:cav:mif} for a practical example.
+
+\cmditem{ifnatbibmode}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} or \prm{false} depending on the \opt{natbib} option from \secref{use:opt:ldt}.
+
+\cmditem{ifciteindex}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} or \prm{false} depending on the \opt{indexing} option from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}.
+
+\cmditem{ifbibindex}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} or \prm{false} depending on the \opt{indexing} option from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}.
+
+\cmditem{iffootnote}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} when located in a footnote, and to \prm{false} otherwise. Note that footnotes in \env{minipage} environments are considered to be part of the body text. This command will only expand to \prm{true} in footnotes a the bottom of the page and in endnotes as provided by the \sty{endnotes} package.
+
+\cntitem{citecounter}
+
+This counter indicates how many times the entry currently being processed is cited in the current reference section. Note that this feature needs to be enabled explicitly with the package option \opt{citecounter}. If the option is set to \texttt{context}, citations in the body text and in footnotes are counted separately. In this case, \cnt{citecounter} will hold the value of the context it is used in.
+
+\cntitem{maxcitecounter}
+
+This counter holds the maximum value of \cnt{citecounter} across all entries in the current reference section. Like \cnt{citecounter} it is only available if the \opt{citecounter} option is enabled and tracks footnotes and text separately if the option is set to \texttt{context}.
+
+\cntitem{uniquename}
+This counter refers to the \bibfield{labelname} list. It is set on a per-name basis. Its value is \texttt{0} if the base parts of the name (by default just the <family> part of the name) are unique, \texttt{1} if adding the other non-base parts of the name (as specified in the uniquename template defined by \cmd{DeclareUniquenameTemplate}) as initials will make it unique, and \texttt{2} if adding the full form of the non-base parts of the name are required to disambiguate the name. This information is required by author-year and author-title citation schemes which add additional parts of the name when citing different authors with the same family name. For example, (given the default \cmd{DeclareUniquenameTemplate} definition) if there is one <John Doe> and one <Edward Doe> in the list of references, this counter will be set to \texttt{1}. If there is one <John Doe> and one <Jane Doe>, the value of the counter will be \texttt{2}. If the option is set to \texttt{init}\slash \texttt{allinit}\slash \texttt{mininit}, the counter will be limited to \texttt{1}. This is useful for citations styles which use initials to disambiguate names but never print the full name in citations. If adding the initials is not sufficient to disambiguate the name, \cnt{uniquename} will also be set to \texttt{0} for that name. This feature needs to be enabled explicitly with the package option \opt{uniquename}. Note that the \cnt{uniquename} counter is local to \cmd{printnames} and that it is only set for the \bibfield{labelname} list and for the name list that \bibfield{labelname} has been derived from (typically \bibfield{author} or \bibfield{editor}). Its value is zero in any other context, i.e., it must be evaluated in the name formatting directives handling name lists. See \secref{aut:cav:amb} for further details and practical examples. This counter can be overridden on a per-namepart basis by consulting the \cmd{namepart<namepart>un} macros during name formatting, see \secref{aut:bbx:drv}.
+
+\cntitem{uniquelist}
+This counter refers to the \bibfield{labelname} list. It is set on a per-field basis. Its value indicates the number of names required to disambiguate the name list if automatic \cnt{maxnames}\slash \cnt{minnames} truncation would lead to ambiguous citations. For example, if there is one work by <Doe\slash Smith\slash Johnson> and another one by <Doe\slash Edwards\slash Williams>, setting \kvopt{maxnames}{1} would lead to <Doe et al.> in both cases. In this case, \cnt{uniquelist} would be set to \texttt{2} on the \bibfield{labelname} lists of both entries because at least the first two names are required to disambiguate them. Note that the \cnt{uniquelist} counter is local to \cmd{printnames} and that it is only set for the \bibfield{labelname} list and to the name list \bibfield{labelname} has been derived from (typically \bibfield{author} or \bibfield{editor}). Its value is zero in any other context. If available, the \cnt{uniquelist} value will be used automatically by \cmd{printnames} when processing the name list, \ie it will automatically override \cnt{maxnames}\slash \cnt{minnames}. This feature needs to be enabled explicitly with the package option \opt{uniquelist}. See \secref{aut:cav:amb} for further details and practical examples.
+
+\cmditem{uniquepart}{namepart}
+
+A field containing one of the valid values for the <nameparts> constant defined with \cmd{DeclareDatamodelConstant}. This is defined on a per-name basis when the package \opt{uniquename} option is not false. It contains the name of the namepart component declared by \cmd{DeclareUniquenameTemplate} which determined the setting of the \opt{uniquename} counter.
+
+\cmditem{mslang}{bcp47tag}
+
+A field set on a per-name basis containing the BCP47 language tag for the name.
+
+\cntitem{parenlevel}
+
+The current nesting level of parentheses and\slash or brackets. This information is only available if the \opt{parentracker} from \secref{use:opt:pre:int} is enabled.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Tests with \cmd{ifboolexpr} and \cmd{ifthenelse}}
+\label{aut:aux:ife}
+
+The tests introduced in \secref{aut:aux:tst} may also be used with the \cmd{ifboolexpr} command provided by the \sty{etoolbox} package and the \cmd{ifthenelse} command provided by the \sty{ifthen} package. The syntax of the tests is slightly different in this case: the \prm{true} and \prm{false} arguments are omitted from the test itself and passed to the \cmd{ifboolexpr} or \cmd{ifthenelse} command instead. Note that the use of these commands implies some processing overhead. If you do not need any boolean operators, it is more efficient to use the stand"=alone tests from \secref{aut:aux:tst}.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{ifboolexpr}{expression}{true}{false}
+
+\sty{etoolbox} command which allows for complex tests with boolean operators and grouping:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=ifthen]{}
+\ifboolexpr{ (
+ test {\ifnameundef{editor}}
+ and
+ not test {\iflistundef{location}}
+ )
+ or test {\iffieldundef{year}}
+ }
+ {...}
+ {...}
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+\cmditem{ifthenelse}{tests}{true}{false}
+
+\sty{ifthen} command which allows for complex tests with boolean operators and grouping:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=ifthen]{}
+\ifthenelse{ \(
+ \ifnameundef{editor}
+ \and
+ \not \iflistundef{location}
+ \)
+ \or \iffieldundef{year}
+ }
+ {...}
+ {...}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+The additional tests provided by \biblatex are only available when \cmd{ifboolexpr} or \cmd{ifthenelse} are used in citation commands and in the bibliography.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Miscellaneous Commands}
+\label{aut:aux:msc}
+
+The section introduces miscellaneous commands and little helpers for use in bibliography and citation styles.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{newbibmacro}{name}[arguments][optional]{definition}
+\cmditem*{newbibmacro*}{name}[arguments][optional]{definition}
+
+Defines a macro to be executed via \cmd{usebibmacro} later. The syntax of this command is very similar to \cmd{newcommand} except that \prm{name} may contain characters such as numbers and punctuation marks and does not start with a backslash. The optional argument \prm{arguments} is an integer specifying the number of arguments taken by the macro. If \prm{optional} is given, it specifies a default value for the first argument of the macro, which automatically becomes an optional argument. In contrast to \cmd{newcommand}, \cmd{newbibmacro} issues a warning message if the macro is already defined, and automatically falls back to \cmd{renewbibmacro}. As with \cmd{newcommand}, the regular variant of this command uses the \cmd{long} prefix in the definition while the starred one does not. If a macro has been declared to be long, it may take arguments containing \cmd{par} tokens. \cmd{newbibmacro} and \cmd{renewbibmacro} are provided for convenience. Style authors are free to use \cmd{newcommand} or \cmd{def} instead. However, note that most shared definitions found in \path{biblatex.def} are defined with \cmd{newbibmacro}, hence they must be used and modified accordingly.
+
+\cmditem{renewbibmacro}{name}[arguments][optional]{definition}
+\cmditem*{renewbibmacro*}{name}[arguments][optional]{definition}
+
+Similar to \cmd{newbibmacro} but redefines \prm{name}. In contrast to \cmd{renewcommand}, \cmd{renewbibmacro} issues a warning message if the macro is undefined, and automatically falls back to \cmd{newbibmacro}.
+
+\cmditem{providebibmacro}{name}[arguments][optional]{definition}
+\cmditem*{providebibmacro*}{name}[arguments][optional]{definition}
+
+Similar to \cmd{newbibmacro} but only defines \prm{name} if it is undefined. This command is similar in concept to \cmd{providecommand}.
+
+\cmditem{letbibmacro}{alias}{name}
+\cmditem*{letbibmacro*}{alias}{name}
+
+This command defines the macro \prm{alias} to be an alias of the macro \prm{name}. The definition is perfomed by \cmd{csletcs}.
+An error is issued if \prm{name} is undefined.
+The regular variant of this command sanitizes \prm{name} while the starred variant does not.
+
+\cmditem{usebibmacro}{name}
+\cmditem*{usebibmacro*}{name}
+
+This command executes the macro \prm{name}, as defined with \cmd{newbibmacro}. If the macro takes any arguments, they are simply appended after \prm{name}. The regular variant of this command sanitizes
+\prm{name} while the starred variant does not.
+
+\cmditem{savecommand}{command}
+\cmditem{restorecommand}{command}
+
+These commands save and restore any \prm{command}, which must be a command name starting with a backslash. Both commands work within a local scope. They are mainly provided for use in localisation files.
+
+\cmditem{savebibmacro}{name}
+\cmditem{restorebibmacro}{name}
+
+These commands save and restore the macro \prm{name}, where \prm{name} is the identifier of a macro defined with \cmd{newbibmacro}. Both commands work within a local scope. They are mainly provided for use in localisation files.
+
+\cmditem{savefieldformat}[entry type]{format}
+\cmditem{restorefieldformat}[entry type]{format}
+
+These commands save and restore the formatting directive \prm{format}, as defined with \cmd{DeclareFieldFormat}. Both commands work within a local scope. They are mainly provided for use in localisation files.
+
+\cmditem{savelistformat}[entry type]{format}
+\cmditem{restorelistformat}[entry type]{format}
+
+These commands save and restore the formatting directive \prm{format}, as defined with \cmd{DeclareListFormat}. Both commands work within a local scope. They are mainly provided for use in localisation files.
+
+\cmditem{savenameformat}[entry type]{format}
+\cmditem{restorenameformat}[entry type]{format}
+
+These commands save and restore the formatting directive \prm{format}, as defined with \cmd{DeclareNameFormat}. Both commands work within a local scope. They are mainly provided for use in localisation files.
+
+\cmditem{savelistwrapperformat}[entry type]{format}
+\cmditem{restorelistwrapperformat}[entry type]{format}
+
+These commands save and restore the formatting directive \prm{format}, as defined with \cmd{DeclareListWrapperFormat}. Both commands work within a local scope. They are mainly provided for use in localisation files.
+
+\cmditem{savenamewrapperformat}[entry type]{format}
+\cmditem{restorenamewrapperformat}[entry type]{format}
+
+These commands save and restore the formatting directive \prm{format}, as defined with \cmd{DeclareNameWrapperFormat}. Both commands work within a local scope. They are mainly provided for use in localisation files.
+
+\cmditem{ifbibmacroundef}{name}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the bibliography macro \prm{name} is undefined, and to \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+This bibliography macro can be used in the following idiom to make a bibliography macro more type specific.
+%
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\letbibmacro{cite:*}{cite}
+\newbibmacro{cite:patent}{%
+ \printtext{\color{red}%
+ Some citation format specific to patents}}
+
+\renewbibmacro*{cite}{%
+ \ifbibmacroundef{cite:\thefield{entrytype}}
+ {\usebibmacro{cite:*}}
+ {\usebibmacro*{cite:\thefield{entrytype}}}%
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{iffieldformatundef}[entry type]{name}{true}{false}
+\cmditem{iflistformatundef}[entry type]{name}{true}{false}
+\cmditem{ifnameformatundef}[entry type]{name}{true}{false}
+\cmditem{iflistwrapperformatundef}[entry type]{name}{true}{false}
+\cmditem{ifnamewrapperformatundef}[entry type]{name}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the formatting directive \prm{format} is undefined, and to \prm{false}
+otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{usedriver}{code}{entrytype}
+
+Executes the bibliography driver for an \prm{entrytype}. Calling this command in the \prm{loopcode} of a citation command defined with \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand} is a simple way to print full citations similar to a bibliography entry. Commands such as \cmd{newblock}, which are not applicable in a citation, are disabled automatically by default. The global initialization can be changed with \cmd{AtUsedriver}, see \secref{aut:fmt:hok}. Additional local initialization commands may be passed as the \prm{code} argument. This argument is executed inside the group in which \cmd{usedriver} runs the respective driver. Note that it is mandatory in terms of the syntax but may be left empty. Also note that this command will automatically switch languages if the \opt{autolang} package option is enabled.
+
+\cmditem{bibhypertarget}{name}{text}
+
+A wrapper for \sty{hyperref}'s \cmd{hypertarget} command. The \prm{name} is the name of the anchor, the \prm{text} is arbitrary printable text or code which serves as an anchor. If there are any \env{refsection} environments in the document, the \prm{name} is local to the current environment. If the \opt{hyperref} package option is disabled or the \sty{hyperref} package has not been loaded, this command will simply pass on its \prm{text} argument. See also the formatting directive \texttt{bibhypertarget} in \secref{aut:fmt:ich}.
+
+\cmditem{bibhyperlink}{name}{text}
+
+A wrapper for \sty{hyperref}'s \cmd{hyperlink} command. The \prm{name} is the name of an anchor defined with \cmd{bibhypertarget}, the \prm{text} is arbitrary printable text or code to be transformed into a link. If there are any \env{refsection} environments in the document, the \prm{name} is local to the current environment. If the \opt{hyperref} package option is disabled or the \sty{hyperref} package has not been loaded, this command will simply pass on its \prm{text} argument. See also the formatting directive \texttt{bibhyperlink} in \secref{aut:fmt:ich}.
+
+\cmditem{bibhyperref}[entrykey]{text}
+
+Transforms \prm{text} into an internal link pointing to \prm{entrykey} in the bibliography. If \prm{entrykey} is omitted, this command uses the key of the entry currently being processed. This command is employed to transform citations into clickable links pointing to the corresponding entry in the bibliography. The link target is marked automatically by \biblatex. If there are multiple bibliographies in a document, the target will be the first occurence of \prm{entrykey} in one of the bibliographies. If there are \env{refsection} environments, the links are local to the environment. See also the formatting directive \texttt{bibhyperref} in \secref{aut:fmt:ich}.
+
+\cmditem{ifhyperref}{true}{false}
+
+Expands to \prm{true} if the \opt{hyperref} package option is enabled (which implies that the \sty{hyperref} package has been loaded), and to \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{docsvfield}[msform][mslang]{field}
+
+Similar to the \cmd{docsvlist} command from the \sty{etoolbox} package, except that it takes a field name as its argument (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}). The value of this field is parsed as a comma"=separated list. If the \prm{field} is undefined, this command expands to an empty string.
+
+\cmditem{forcsvfield}{handler}[msform][mslang]{field}
+
+Similar to the \cmd{forcsvlist} command from the \sty{etoolbox} package, except that it takes a field name as its argument (optionally a multiscript field of \prm{msform}/\prm{mslang}). The value of this field is parsed as a comma"=separated list. If the \prm{field} is undefined, this command expands to an empty string.
+
+\cmditem{MakeCapital}{text}
+
+Similar to \cmd{MakeUppercase} but only converts the first printable character in \prm{text} to uppercase. Note that the restrictions that apply to \cmd{MakeUppercase} also apply to this command. Namely, all commands in \prm{text} must either be robust or prefixed with \cmd{protect} since the \prm{text} is expanded during capitalization. Apart from \acr{US-ASCII} characters and the standard accent commands, this command also handles the active characters of the \sty{inputenc} package as well as the shorthands of the \sty{babel} package. If the \prm{text} starts with a control sequence, nothing is capitalized. This command is robust.
+
+\cmditem{MakeSentenceCase}{text}
+\cmditem*{MakeSentenceCase*}{text}
+
+Converts its \prm{text} argument to sentence case, \ie the first word is capitalized and the remainder of the string is converted to lowercase. This command is robust. The starred variant differs from the regular version in that it considers the language of the entry, as specified in the \bibfield{langid} field. If the \bibfield{langid} field is defined and holds a language declared with \cmd{DeclareCaseLangs} (see below)\footnote{By default, converting to sentence case is enabled for the following language identifiers: \texttt{american}, \texttt{british}, \texttt{canadian}, \texttt{english}, \texttt{australian}, \texttt{newzealand} as well as the aliases \texttt{USenglish} and \texttt{UKenglish}. Use \cmd{DeclareCaseLangs} to extend or change this list.}, then the sentence case conversion is performed. If the \bibfield{langid} field is undefined, then the language list declared with \cmd{DeclareCaseLangs} is checked for the presence of the main document language derived from the \opt{language} option. If found, sentence case conversion is performed, if not, the \prm{text} is not altered in any way. It is recommended to use \cmd{MakeSentenceCase*} rather than the regular variant in formatting directives.
+
+Depending on the option \opt{casechanger} \cmd{MakeCaseChange} and \cmd{MakeCaseChange*} are either implemented using the \sty{expl3} module \sty{l3text} or original \LaTeXe code.
+
+Both variants support the traditional \bibtex convention for \file{bib} files that anything wrapped in a pair of curly braces is not modified when changing the case. For example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\MakeSentenceCase{an Introduction to LaTeX}
+\MakeSentenceCase{an Introduction to {LaTeX}}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+would yield:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=plain]{}
+An introduction to latex
+An introduction to LaTeX
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+In \file{bib} files designed with traditional \bibtex in mind, it has been fairly common to only wrap single letters in braces to prevent case"=changing:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+title = {An Introduction to {L}a{T}e{X}}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+The problem with this convention is that the braces will suppress the kerning on both sides of the enclosed letter. It is preferable to wrap the entire word in braces as shown in the first example.
+Macros in titles must also be protected with braces
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+title = {The {\TeX book}},
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+%
+The behaviour of \cmd{MakeSentenceCase} differs slightly between the \opt{latex2e} and \opt{expl3} implementation. Generally speaking, the \opt{expl3} code is closer to the \bibtex behaviour of \texttt{change.case\$}. It is also better equipped to deal with non-\acr{US-ASCII} input and macros than the \opt{latex2e} implementation. \cmd{MakeSentenceCase} behaves as follows.
+\begin{itemize}\setlength{\labelsep}{1em}
+ \item The first letter of its argument is capitalised with \cmd{MakeUppercase}. This is different from \bibtex's \texttt{change.case\$}, which does not touch the first letter of its argument.
+
+ Note that with the \opt{latex2e} code a pair of braces that starts with a control sequence will be treated as a single character for capitalisation purposes. This means that the entire argument of a command protected with a single pair of braces is capitalised.
+ \item With the \opt{latex2e} code expandable commands are expanded before the case change, which means that the case change applies to the replacement text. Unexpandable commands are not touched.
+
+ \bibtex does not interpret macros and therefore passes commands through unchanged (this does not necessarily apply to the \emph{arguments} of those commands). The \opt{expl3} implementation also does not expand commands and only applies case change to the arguments.
+ \item Text wrapped in one or more pairs of braces is protected from case change \emph{unless} it starts with a control sequence. This is the same behaviour as with \bibtex. Note that the braces could either be explicit groups or argument delimiters.
+ \item Text in a single pair of braces that starts with a control sequence is not protected and will be subject to case changes. Note that this need not apply to braces that are argument delimiters, in fact the \opt{latex2e} implementation of \cmd{MakeSentenceCase} may in some cases produce an error or otherwise undesirable output if the argument of a command starts with a control sequence. \bibtex's case change function does not differentiate between argument delimiters and brace groups and always subjects text at brace level~1 to case change if it starts with a control sequence.
+\end{itemize}
+
+For most intents and purposes the following rules should give a sensible result.
+\begin{itemize}\setlength{\labelsep}{1em}
+ \item Protect all words whose case should not be changed by wrapping them in one pair of braces.
+ \item If words are already in the braced argument of a command such as \cmd{mkbibquote} or \cmd{emph}, they are automatically protected.
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item To \emph{undo} this protection wrap the command in braces again.
+ \item It is not possible to selectively re-apply protection if it has been undone with an additional pair of braces. If a more fine-grained control is needed, work-arounds like splitting the argument could be tried.
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item While it is possible to protect words from case change at the beginning of a field with a pair of braces, it is not possible to undo the case protection that a command automatically implies by wrapping it in braces in that position. In that case work-arounds are necessary.
+\end{itemize}
+%
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+title = {The Story of {HMS} \emph{Erebus}
+ in {\emph{Really}} Strong Wind},
+\end{lstlisting}
+would be converted to sentence case by \cmd{MakeSentenceCase} as
+\begin{quote}
+The story of HMS \emph{Erebus} in {\emph{really}} strong wind
+\end{quote}
+
+If the \sty{expl3} implementation of the case changing functions is selected, the \bibtex case protection behaviour can be exchanged for a slightly simpler version. When \opt{bibtexcaseprotection} set to \opt{false}, braces no longer automatically imply case protection. Instead words can be protected from case change with \cmd{NoCaseChange}. The examples from above would then read
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=bibtex]{}
+title = {An Introduction to \NoCaseChange{LaTeX}},
+title = {The Story of \NoCaseChange{HMS \emph{Erebus}}
+ in \emph{Really} Strong Wind},
+\end{lstlisting}
+Generally, this option should allow for a saner case protection input, because curly braces are no longer overloaded with different levels of meaning, but it is a big departure from the standard case protection input that has been with the \latex world for a long time.
+
+Due to its complex implementation \cmd{MakeSentenceCase} can not accept arbitrary input, it only safely operates on raw text or field data. In the standard styles the \bibfield{title} and other \bibfield{title}-like field formats do not work together with \cmd{MakeSentenceCase} because of their argument structure, so the standard styles offer a dedicated \texttt{titlecase} field format to apply this command. To enable sentence casing in standard styles for languages that support it you would use:
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareFieldFormat{titlecase}{<<\MakeSentenceCase*{#1}>>}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Sentence casing can then be disabled by resetting that field format to
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareFieldFormat{titlecase}{<<#1>>}
+\end{ltxexample}
+Custom styles may follow a different approach, but style authors are encouraged to apply the same general ideas to their styles.
+
+\cmditem{mkpageprefix}[pagination][postpro]{text}
+
+This command is intended for use in field formatting directives which format the page numbers in the \prm{postnote} argument of citation commands and the \bibfield{pages} field of bibliography entries. It will parse its \prm{text} argument and prefix it with <p.> or <pp.> by default. The optional \prm{pagination} argument holds the name of a field indicating the pagination type. This may be either \bibfield{pagination} or \bibfield{bookpagination}, with \bibfield{pagination} being the default. The spacing between the prefix and the \prm{text} may be modified by redefining \cmd{ppspace}. The default is an unbreakable interword space. See \secref{bib:use:pag, use:cav:pag} for further details. See also \cmd{DeclareNumChars}, \cmd{DeclareRangeChars}, \cmd{DeclareRangeCommands}, and \cmd{NumCheckSetup}. The optional \prm{postpro} argument specifies a macro to be used for post-processing the \prm{text}. If only one optional argument is given, it is taken as \prm{pagination}. Here are two typical examples:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareFieldFormat{postnote}{<<\mkpageprefix[pagination][\mknormrange]{#1}>>}
+\DeclareFieldFormat{pages}{<<\mkpageprefix[bookpagination]{#1}>>}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+
+\cmditem{mkpagetotal}[pagination][postpro]{text}
+
+This command is similar to \cmd{mkpageprefix} except that it is intended for the \bibfield{pagetotal} field of bibliography entries, \ie it will print «123 pages» rather than «page 123». The optional \prm{pagination} argument defaults to \bibfield{bookpagination}. The spacing inserted between the pagination suffix and the \prm{text} may be modified by redefining the macro \cmd{ppspace}. The optional \prm{postpro} argument specifies a macro to be used for post-processing the \prm{text}. If only one optional argument is given, it is taken as \prm{pagination}. Here is a typical example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareFieldFormat{pagetotal}{<<\mkpagetotal[bookpagination]{#1}>>}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The optional argument \bibfield{bookpagination} is omissible in this case.
+The pagination strings are taken from \texttt{$<$pagination$>$total} and \texttt{$<$pagination$>$totals}.

+This command, which is intended for use in field formatting directives, will parse its \prm{text} argument for page ranges and compress them. For example, «125--129» may be formatted as «125--9». You may configure the behavior of \cmd{mkcomprange} by adjusting the \latex counters \cnt{mincomprange}, \cnt{maxcomprange}, and \cnt{mincompwidth}, as illustrated in \tabref{aut:aux:tab1}. The default settings are \texttt{10}, \texttt{100000}, and \texttt{1}, respectively. This means that the command tries to compress as much as possible by default. Use \cmd{setcounter} to adjust the parameters. The scanner recognises \cmd{bibrangedash} and hyphens as range dashes. It will normalize the dash by replacing any number of consecutive hyphens with \cmd{bibrangedash}. Lists of ranges delimited with \cmd{bibrangessep} are also supported. The scanner will normalise any comma or semicolons surrounded by optional space by replacing them with \cmd{bibrangessep}. If you want to hide a character from the list/range scanner for some reason, wrap the character or the entire string in curly braces. The optional \prm{postpro} argument specifies a macro to be used for post-processing the \prm{text}. This is important if you want to combine \cmd{mkcomprange} with other formatting macros which also need to parse their \prm{text} argument, such as \cmd{mkpageprefix}. Simply nesting these commands will not work as expected. Use the \prm{postpro} argument to set up the processing chain as follows:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareFieldFormat{postnote}{\mkcomprange[<<{>>\mkpageprefix[pagination]<<}>>]{#1}}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Note that \cmd{mkcomprange} is executed first, using \cmd{mkpageprefix} as post-processor. Also note that the \prm{postpro} argument is wrapped in an additional pair of braces. This is only required in this particular case to prevent \latex's optional argument scanner from getting confused by the nested brackets. The starred version of this command differs from the regular one in the way the \prm{postpro} argument is applied to a list of values. For example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\mkcomprange[\mkpageprefix]{5, 123-129, 423-439}
+\mkcomprange*[\mkpageprefix]{5, 123-129, 423-439}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+will output:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+pp. 5, 123-9, 423-39
+p. 5, pp. 123-9, pp. 423-39
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The second optional argument \prm{itempostpro} is used to post-process each individual number item in the formatted list. It can be used to convert numbers from cardinals to ordinals. If only one optional argument is present, it is treated as \prm{postpro}.
+
+\cmditem{mknormrange}[postpro][itempostpro]{text}
+\cmditem*{mknormrange*}[postpro][itempostpro]{text}
+
+This command, which is intended for use in field formatting directives, will parse its \prm{text} argument for page ranges and will normalise them. The command is similar to \cmd{mkcomprange} except that the page ranges will not be compressed. The scanner recognises \cmd{bibrangedash} and hyphens as range dashes. It will normalize the dash by replacing any number of consecutive hyphens with \cmd{bibrangedash}. Lists of ranges delimited with \cmd{bibrangessep} are also supported. The scanner will normalise any comma or semicolons surrounded by optional space by replacing them with \cmd{bibrangessep}. If you want to hide a character from the list/range scanner for some reason, wrap the character or the entire string in curly braces. The optional \prm{postpro} argument specifies a macro to be used for post-processing the \prm{text}. See \cmd{mkcomprange} on how to use this argument. The starred version of this command differs from the regular one in the way the \prm{postpro} argument is applied to a list of values. The second optional argument \prm{itempostpro} is used to post-process each individual number item in the formatted list. It can be used to convert numbers from cardinals to ordinals. If only one optional argument is present, it is treated as \prm{postpro}.
+
+\cmditem{mkfirstpage}[postpro][itempostpro]{text}
+\cmditem*{mkfirstpage*}[postpro][itempostpro]{text}
+
+This command, which is intended for use in field formatting directives, will parse its \prm{text} argument for page ranges and print the start page of the range only. The scanner recognizes \cmd{bibrangedash} and hyphens as range dashes. Lists of ranges delimited with \cmd{bibrangessep} are also supported. If you want to hide a character from the list/range scanner for some reason, wrap the character or the entire string in curly braces. The optional \prm{postpro} argument specifies a macro to be used for post-processing the \prm{text}. See \cmd{mkcomprange} on how to use this argument. The starred version of this command differs from the regular one in the way the \prm{postpro} argument is applied to a list of values. The second optional argument \prm{itempostpro} is used to post-process each individual number item in the formatted list. It can be used to convert numbers from cardinals to ordinals. If only one optional argument is present, it is treated as \prm{postpro}. For example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\mkfirstpage[\mkpageprefix]{5, 123-129, 423-439}
+\mkfirstpage*[\mkpageprefix]{5, 123-129, 423-439}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+will output:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+pp. 5, 123, 423
+p. 5, p. 123, p. 423
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{rangelen}{rangefield}
+
+Takes the name of a bibfield declared as a range field in the data model and returns the length of the range. This is calculated by \biber and can handle many special cases. It will return $-1$ for open ended ranges. Specifically \cmd{rangelen} can:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Calculate the total of multiple ranges in the same field such as <1-10, 20-30>
+\item Handle implicit ranges such as <22-4> and <130-33>
+\item Handle roman numeral ranges in upper and lower case and consisting of both \acr{US-ASCII} and Unicode roman numeral representations.
+\end{itemize}
+%
+Here are some examples:
+
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+pages = <10> & |\rangelen{pages}| returns '1'\\
+pages = <10-15> & |\rangelen{pages}| returns '6'\\
+pages = <10-15,47-53> & |\rangelen{pages}| returns '13'\\
+pages = <10-> & |\rangelen{pages}| returns '-1'\\
+pages = <-10> & |\rangelen{pages}| returns '-1'\\
+pages = <48-9> & |\rangelen{pages}| returns '2'\\
+pages = <172-77> & |\rangelen{pages}| returns '6'\\
+pages = <i-vi> & |\rangelen{pages}| returns '6'\\
+pages = <X-XX> & |\rangelen{pages}| returns '11'\\
+pages = <ⅥⅠ-ⅻ> & |\rangelen{pages}| returns '6'\\
+pages = <ⅥⅠ-ⅻ, 145-7, 135-39> & |\rangelen{pages}| returns '14'
+\end{tabular}
+
+The \cmd{rangelen} command can be used in tests:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\ifnumcomp{\rangelen{pages}}{=}{1}{add 'f'}{do nothing}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareNumChars}{characters}
+\cmditem*{DeclareNumChars*}{characters}
+
+This command configures the \cmd{ifnumeral}, \cmd{ifnumerals}, and \cmd{ifpages} tests from \secref{aut:aux:tst}. The setup will also affect \cmd{iffieldnum}, \cmd{iffieldnums}, \cmd{iffieldpages} as well as \cmd{mkpageprefix} and \cmd{mkpagetotal}. The \prm{characters} argument is an undelimited list of characters which are to be considered as being part of a number. The regular version of this command replaces the current setting, the starred version appends its argument to the current list. The default setting is:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareNumChars{.}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This means that a (section or other) number like <3.4.5> will be considered as a number. Note that Arabic and Roman numerals are detected by default, there is no need to declare them explicitly.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareRangeChars}{characters}
+\cmditem*{DeclareRangeChars*}{characters}
+
+This command configures the \cmd{ifnumerals} and \cmd{ifpages} tests from \secref{aut:aux:tst}. The setup will also affect \cmd{iffieldnums} and \cmd{iffieldpages} as well as \cmd{mkpageprefix} and \cmd{mkpagetotal}. The \prm{characters} argument is an undelimited list of characters which are to be considered as range indicators. The regular version of this command replaces the current setting, the starred version appends its argument to the current list. The default setting is:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareRangeChars{~,;-+/}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+For engines that fully support Unicode these defaults are extended with
+\begin{ltxexample}[escapeinside={(*@}{@*)}]
+\DeclareRangeChars*{(*@–—@*)}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This means that strings like <3--5>, <35+>, <8/9> and so on will be considered as a range by \cmd{ifnumerals} and \cmd{ifpages}. Non-range characters in such strings are recognized as numbers. So strings like <3a--5a> and <35b+> are not deemed to be ranges by default. See also \secref{bib:use:pag, use:cav:pag} for further details.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareRangeCommands}{commands}
+\cmditem*{DeclareRangeCommands*}{commands}
+
+This command is similar to \cmd{DeclareRangeChars}, except that the \prm{commands} argument is an undelimited list of commands which are to be considered as range indicators. The regular version of this command replaces the current setting, the starred version appends its argument to the current list. The default list is rather long and should cover all common cases; here is a shorter example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareRangeCommands{\&\bibrangedash\textendash\textemdash\psq\psqq}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+See also \secref{bib:use:pag, use:cav:pag} for further details.
+
+\cmditem{DeclarePageCommands}{commands}
+\cmditem*{DeclarePageCommands*}{commands}
+
+This command is similar to \cmd{DeclareRangeCommands}, except that it only affects the \cmd{ifpages} and \cmd{iffieldpages} tests but not \cmd{ifnumerals} and \cmd{iffieldnums}. The default setting is:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclarePageCommands{\pno\ppno}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{NumCheckSetup}{code}
+
+Use this command to temporarily redefine any commands which interfere with the tests performed by \cmd{ifnumeral}, \cmd{ifnumerals}, and \cmd{ifpages} from \secref{aut:aux:tst}. The setup will also affect \cmd{iffieldnum}, \cmd{iffieldnums}, \cmd{iffieldpages} as well as \cmd{mkpageprefix} and \cmd{mkpagetotal}. The \prm{code} will be executed in a group by these commands. Since the above mentioned commands will expand the string to be analyzed, it is possible to remove commands to be ignored by the tests by making them expand to an empty string. See also \secref{bib:use:pag, use:cav:pag} for further details.
+
+\cmditem{NumsCheckSetup}{code}
+
+Like \cmd{NumCheckSetup} but only applies to \cmd{ifnumerals} and \cmd{ifpages} from \secref{aut:aux:tst} and their derivative tests.
+
+\cmditem{PagesCheckSetup}{code}
+
+Like \cmd{NumCheckSetup} but only applies to \cmd{ifpages} from \secref{aut:aux:tst} and its derivative tests. The default setting is makes \cmd{pnfmt} transparent to the test:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\PagesCheckSetup{\let\pnfmt\@firstofone}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareBabelToExplLanguageMapping}{babel language}{expl language}
+
+This command is only available if the \sty{expl3} case changing code is used.
+
+Use \prm{expl language} as \prm{language} argument for the \sty{l3text} case changing functions when \sty{babel language} is active. This command is only required if \prm{babel language} should correspond to a language for which \sty{l3text} has special rules set up. The default invocations of this command are
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareBabelToExplLanguageMapping{dutch}{nl}
+\DeclareBabelToExplLanguageMapping{greek}{el}
+\DeclareBabelToExplLanguageMapping{turkish}{tr}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{UndeclareBabelToExplLanguageMapping}{babel language}
+
+This command is only available if the \sty{expl3} case changing code is used.
+
+Removes the \sty{babel}-to-\sty{expl3} language mapping for \prm{babel language}. If the argument is an asterisk \texttt{*}, all language mappings are removed.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareCaseLangs}{languages}
+\cmditem*{DeclareCaseLangs*}{languages}
+
+Defines the list of languages which are considered by the \cmd{MakeSentenceCase*} command as it converts a string to sentence case. The \prm{languages} argument is a comma"=separated list of \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} language identifiers. The regular version of this command replaces the current setting, the starred version appends its argument to the current list. The default setting is:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareCaseLangs{%
+ american,british,canadian,english,australian,newzealand,USenglish,UKenglish}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+See the \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} manuals and \tabref{bib:fld:tab1} for a list of languages identifiers.
+
+\cmditem{BibliographyWarning}{message}
+
+This command is similar to \cmd{PackageWarning} but prints the entry key of the entry currently being processed in addition to the input line number. It may be used in the bibliography as well as in citation commands. If the \prm{message} is fairly long, use \cmd{MessageBreak} to include line breaks. Note that the standard \cmd{PackageWarning} command does not provide a meaningful clue when used in the bibliography since the input line number is the line on which the \cmd{printbibliography} command was given.
+
+\boolitem{pagetracker}
+\leavevmode\vspace{\numexpr2\baselineskip}% fix margin spilling into the text
+
+These commands activate or deactivate the citation tracker locally (this will affect the \cmd{iffirstonpage} and \cmd{ifsamepage} test from \secref{aut:aux:tst}). They are intended for use in the definition of citation commands or anywhere in the document body. If a citation command is to be excluded from page tracking, use \cmd{pagetrackerfalse} in the \prm{precode} argument of \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand}. See \secref{aut:cbx:cbx} for details. Note that these commands have no effect if page tracking has been disabled globally.
+
+\boolitem{citetracker}
+\leavevmode\vspace{\numexpr2\baselineskip}% fix margin spilling into the text
+
+These commands activate or deactivate all citation trackers locally (this will affect the \cmd{ifciteseen}, \cmd{ifentryseen}, \cmd{ifciteibid}, and \cmd{ifciteidem} tests from \secref{aut:aux:tst}). They are intended for use in the definition of citation commands or anywhere in the document body. If a citation command is to be excluded from tracking, use \cmd{citetrackerfalse} in the \prm{precode} argument of \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand}. See \secref{aut:cbx:cbx} for details. Note that these commands have no effect if tracking has been disabled globally.
+
+\boolitem{backtracker}
+\leavevmode\vspace{\numexpr2\baselineskip}% fix margin spilling into the text
+
+These commands activate or deactivate the \texttt{backref} tracker locally. They are intended for use in the definition of citation commands or anywhere in the document body. If a citation command is to be excluded from backtracking, use \cmd{backtrackerfalse} in the \prm{precode} argument of \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand}. Note that these commands have no effect if the \texttt{backref} option has been not been set globally.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsection[Punctuation]{Punctuation and Spacing}
+\label{aut:pct}
+
+The \biblatex package provides elaborate facilities designed to manage and track punctuation and spacing in the bibliography and in citations. These facilities work on two levels. The high"=level commands discussed in \secref{aut:pct:new} deal with punctuation and whitespace inserted by the bibliography style between the individual segments of a bibliography entry. The commands in \secref{aut:pct:chk, aut:pct:pct, aut:pct:spc} work at a lower level. They use \tex's space factor and modified space factor codes to track punctuation in a robust and efficient way. This way it is possible to detect trailing punctuation marks within fields, not only those explicitly inserted between fields. The same technique is also used for automatic capitalization of localisation strings, see \cmd{DeclareCapitalPunctuation} in \secref{aut:pct:cfg} as well as \secref{aut:str} for details. Note that these facilities are only made available locally in citations and bibliographies. They will not affect any other part of a document.
+
+\subsubsection{Block and Unit Punctuation}
+\label{aut:pct:new}
+
+The major segments of a bibliography entry are <blocks> and <units>. A block is the larger segment of the two, a unit is shorter or at most equal in length. For example, the values of fields such as \bibfield{title} or \bibfield{note} usually form a unit which is separated from subsequent data by a period or a comma. A block may comprise several fields which are treated as separate units, for example \bibfield{publisher}, \bibfield{location}, and \bibfield{year}. The segmentation of an entry into blocks and units is at the discretion of the bibliography style. An entry is segmented by inserting \cmd{newblock} and \cmd{newunit} commands at suitable places and \cmd{finentry} at the very end (see \secref{aut:bbx:drv} for an example). See also \secref{aut:cav:pct} for some practical hints.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\csitem{newblock}
+
+Records the end of a block. This command does not print anything, it merely marks the end of the block. The block delimiter \cmd{newblockpunct} will be inserted by a subsequent \cmd{printtext}, \cmd{printfield}, \cmd{printlist}, \cmd{printnames}, or \cmd{bibstring} command. You may use \cmd{newblock} at suitable places without having to worry about spurious blocks. A new block will only be started by the next \cmd{printfield} (or similar) command if this command prints anything. See \secref{aut:cav:pct} for further details.
+
+\csitem{newunit}
+
+Records the end of a unit and puts the default delimiter \cmd{newunitpunct} in the punctuation buffer. This command does not print anything, it merely marks the end of the unit. The punctuation buffer will be inserted by the next \cmd{printtext}, \cmd{printfield}, \cmd{printlist}, \cmd{printnames}, or \cmd{bibstring} command. You may use \cmd{newunit} after commands like \cmd{printfield} without having to worry about spurious punctuation and whitespace. The buffer will only be inserted by the next \cmd{printfield} or similar command if \emph{both} fields are non"=empty. This also applies to \cmd{printtext}, \cmd{printlist}, \cmd{printnames}, and \cmd{bibstring}. See \secref{aut:cav:pct} for further details.
+
+\csitem{finentry}
+
+Inserts \cmd{finentrypunct}. This command should be used at the very end of every bibliography entry.
+
+\cmditem{setunit}{punctuation}
+\cmditem*{setunit*}{punctuation}
+
+The \cmd{setunit} command is similar to \cmd{newunit} except that it uses \prm{punctuation} instead of \cmd{newunitpunct}. The starred variant differs from the regular version in that it checks if the last \cmd{printtext}, \cmd{printfield}, \cmd{printlist}, \cmd{printnames}, or \cmd{bibstring} command did actually print anything. If not, it does nothing.
+
+\cmditem{printunit}{punctuation}
+\cmditem*{printunit*}{punctuation}
+
+The \cmd{printunit} command is similar to \cmd{setunit} except that \prm{punctuation} persists in the buffer. This ensures that \prm{punctuation} is inserted before the next non"=empty field printed by the \cmd{printtext}, \cmd{printfield}, \cmd{printlist}, \cmd{printnames}, or \cmd{bibstring} commands---regardless of any intermediate calls to \cmd{newunit} or \cmd{setunit}.
+
+\cmditem{setpunctfont}{command}
+
+This command, which is intended for use in field formatting directives, provides an alternative way of dealing with unit punctuation after a field printed in a different font (for example, a title printed in italics). The standard \latex way of dealing with this is adding a small amount of space, the so-called italic correction. This command allows adapting the punctuation to the font of the preceding field. The \prm{command} should be a text font command which takes one argument, such as \cmd{emph} or \cmd{textbf}. This command will only affect punctuation marks inserted by one of the commands from \secref{aut:pct:pct}. The font adaption is applied to the next punctuation mark only and will be reset automatically thereafter. If you want to reset it manually before it takes effect, issue \cmd{resetpunctfont}. If the \opt{punctfont} package option is disabled, this command does nothing. Note that the \cmd{mkbibemph}, \cmd{mkbibitalic} and \cmd{mkbibbold} wrappers from \secref{aut:fmt:ich} incorporate this feature by default.
+
+\csitem{resetpunctfont}
+
+This command resets the unit punctuation font defined with \cmd{setpunctfont} before it takes effect. If the \opt{punctfont} package option is disabled, this command does nothing.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Punctuation Tests}
+\label{aut:pct:chk}
+
+The following commands may be used to test for preceding punctuation marks at any point in citations and the bibliography.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{ifpunct}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if preceded by any punctuation mark except for an abbreviation dot, and \prm{false} otherwise.
+
+\cmditem{ifterm}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if preceded by a terminal punctuation mark, and \prm{false} otherwise. A terminal punctuation mark is any punctuation mark which has been registered for automatic capitalization, either with \cmd{DeclareCapitalPunctuation} or by default, see \secref{aut:pct:cfg} for details. By default, this applies to periods, exclamation marks, and question marks.
+
+\cmditem{ifpunctmark}{character}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if preceded by the punctuation mark \prm{character}, and \prm{false} otherwise. The \prm{character} may be a comma, a semicolon, a colon, a period, an exclamation mark, a question mark, or an asterisk. Note that a period denotes an end-of"=sentence period. Use the asterisk to test for the dot after an abbreviation. If this command is used in a formatting directive for name lists, \ie in the argument to \cmd{DeclareNameFormat}, the \prm{character} may also be an apostrophe.
+
+\cmditem{ifprefchar}{true}{false}
+
+Executes \prm{true} if preceded by any prefix character declared by \cmd{DeclarePrefChars}.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Adding Punctuation}
+\label{aut:pct:pct}
+
+The following commands are designed to prevent double punctuation marks. Bibliography and citation styles should always use these commands instead of literal punctuation marks. All \cmd{add...} commands in this section automatically remove preceding whitespace with \cmd{unspace} (see \secref{aut:pct:spc}). Note that the behavior of all \cmd{add...} commands discussed below is the package default, which is restored whenever \biblatex switches languages. This behavior may be adjusted with \cmd{DeclarePunctuationPairs} from \secref{aut:pct:cfg}.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\csitem{adddot}
+
+Adds a period unless it is preceded by any punctuation mark. The purpose of this command is inserting the dot after an abbreviation. Any dot inserted this way is recognized as such by the other punctuation commands. This command may also be used to turn a previously inserted literal period into an abbreviation dot.
+
+\csitem{addcomma}
+
+Adds a comma unless it is preceded by another comma, a semicolon, a colon, or a period.
+
+\csitem{addsemicolon}
+
+Adds a semicolon unless it is preceded by a comma, another semicolon, a colon, or a period.
+
+\csitem{addcolon}
+
+Adds a colon unless it is preceded by a comma, a semicolon, another colon, or a period.
+
+\csitem{addperiod}
+
+Adds a period unless it is preceded by an abbreviation dot or any other punctuation mark. This command may also be used to turn a previously inserted abbreviation dot into a period, for example at the end of a sentence.
+
+\csitem{addexclam}
+Adds an exclamation mark unless it is preceded by any punctuation mark except for an abbreviation dot.
+
+\csitem{addquestion}
+
+Adds a question mark unless it is preceded by any punctuation mark except for an abbreviation dot.
+
+\csitem{isdot}
+
+Turns a previously inserted literal period into an abbreviation dot. In contrast to \cmd{adddot}, nothing is inserted if this command is not preceded by a period.
+
+\csitem{nopunct}
+
+Adds an internal marker which will cause the next punctuation command to print nothing.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Adding Whitespace}
+\label{aut:pct:spc}
+
+The following commands are designed to prevent spurious whitespace. Bibliography and citation styles should always use these commands instead of literal whitespace. In contrast to the commands in \secref{aut:pct:chk, aut:pct:pct}, they are not restricted to citations and the bibliography but available globally.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\csitem{unspace}
+
+Removes preceding whitespace, \ie removes all skips and penalties from the end of the current horizontal list. This command is implicitly executed by all of the following commands.
+
+\csitem{addspace}
+
+Adds a breakable interword space.
+
+\csitem{addnbspace}
+
+Adds a non"=breakable interword space.
+
+\csitem{addthinspace}
+
+Adds a \emph{breakable} thin space.
+
+\csitem{addnbthinspace}
+
+Adds a non"=breakable thin space. This is similar to \cmd{,} and \cmd{thinspace}.
+
+\csitem{addlowpenspace}
+
+Adds a space penalized by the value of the \cnt{lownamepenalty} counter, see \secref{use:fmt:len, aut:fmt:len} for details.
+
+\csitem{addhighpenspace}
+
+Adds a space penalized by the value of the \cnt{highnamepenalty} counter, see \secref{use:fmt:len, aut:fmt:len} for details.
+
+\csitem{addlpthinspace}
+
+Similar to \cmd{addlowpenspace} but adds a breakable thin space.
+
+\csitem{addhpthinspace}
+
+Similar to \cmd{addhighpenspace} but adds a breakable thin space.
+
+\csitem{addabbrvspace}
+
+Adds a space penalized by the value of the \cnt{abbrvpenalty} counter, see \secref{use:fmt:len, aut:fmt:len} for details.
+
+\csitem{addabthinspace}
+
+Similar to \cmd{addabbrvspace} but using a thin space.
+
+\csitem{adddotspace}
+
+Executes \cmd{adddot} and adds a space penalized by the value of the \cnt{abbrvpenalty} counter, see \secref{use:fmt:len, aut:fmt:len} for details.
+
+\csitem{addslash}
+
+Adds a breakable slash. This command differs from the \cmd{slash} command in the \latex kernel in that a linebreak after the slash is not penalized at all.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+Note that the commands in this section implicitly execute \cmd{unspace} to remove spurious whitespace, hence they may be used to override each other. For example, you may use \cmd{addnbspace} to transform a previously inserted interword space into a non"=breakable one and \cmd{addspace} to turn a non"=breakable space into a breakable one.
+
+\subsubsection{Configuring Punctuation and Capitalization}
+\label{aut:pct:cfg}
+
+The following commands configure various features related to punctuation and automatic capitalization.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclarePrefChars}{characters}
+\cmditem*{DeclarePrefChars*}{characters}
+
+This command declares characters that are to be treated specially when testing to see if \cmd{bibnamedelimc} is to be inserted between a name prefix and a family name. If a character is in the list of \prm{characters}, \cmd{bibnamedelimc} is not inserted. It is used to allow abbreviated name prefices like <d'Argent> where no space should be inserted after the apostrophe. The starred version appends its argument to the list of prefix characters, the unstarred version replaces the current setting. The default setting is:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclarePrefChars{'-}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+For engines that fully support Unicode these defaults are extended with
+\begin{ltxexample}[escapeinside={(*@}{@*)}]
+\DeclarePrefChars*{(*@’@*)}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareAutoPunctuation}{characters}
+
+This command defines the punctuation marks to be considered by the citation commands as they scan ahead for punctuation. Note that \prm{characters} is an undelimited list of characters. Valid \prm{characters} are period, comma, semicolon, colon, exclamation and question mark. The default setting is:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareAutoPunctuation{.,;:!?}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This definition is restored automatically whenever the \opt{autopunct} package option is set to \texttt{true}. Executing |\DeclareAutoPunctuation{}| is equivalent to setting \kvopt{autopunct}{false}, \ie it disables this feature.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareCapitalPunctuation}{characters}
+
+When \biblatex inserts localisation strings, \ie key terms such as <edition> or <volume>, it automatically capitalizes them after terminal punctuation marks. This command defines the punctuation marks which will cause localisation strings to be capitalized if one of them precedes a string. Note that \prm{characters} is an undelimited list of characters. Valid \prm{characters} are period, comma, semicolon, colon, exclamation and question mark. The package default is:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareCapitalPunctuation{.!?}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Using \cmd{DeclareCapitalPunctuation} with an empty argument is equivalent to disabling automatic capitalization. Since this feature is language specific, this command must be used in the argument to \cmd{DefineBibliographyExtras} (when used in the preamble) or \cmd{DeclareBibliographyExtras} (when used in a localisation module). See \secref{use:lng, aut:lng} for details. By default, strings are capitalized after periods, exclamation marks, and question marks. All strings are generally capitalized at the beginning of a paragraph (in fact whenever \tex is in vertical mode).
+
+\cmditem{DeclarePunctuationPairs}{identifier}{characters}
+
+Use this command to declare valid pairs of punctuation marks. This will affect the punctuation commands discussed in \secref{aut:pct:pct}. For example, the description of \cmd{addcomma} states that this command adds a comma unless it is preceded by another comma, a semicolon, a colon, or a period. In other words, commas after abbreviation dots, exclamation marks, and question marks are permitted. These valid pairs are declared as follows:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclarePunctuationPairs{comma}{*!?}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The \prm{identifier} selects the command to be configured. The identifiers correspond to the names of the punctuation commands from \secref{aut:pct:pct} without the \cmd{add} prefix, \ie valid \prm{identifier} strings are \texttt{dot}, \texttt{comma}, \texttt{semicolon}, \texttt{colon}, \texttt{period}, \texttt{exclam}, \texttt{question}. The \prm{characters} argument is an undelimited list of punctuation marks. Valid \prm{characters} are comma, semicolon, colon, period, exclamation mark, question mark, and asterisk. A period in the \prm{characters} argument denotes an end-of"=sentence period, an asterisk the dot after an abbreviation. This is the default setup, which is automatically restored whenever \biblatex switches languages and corresponds to the behavior described in \secref{aut:pct:pct}:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclarePunctuationPairs{dot}{}
+\DeclarePunctuationPairs{comma}{*!?}
+\DeclarePunctuationPairs{semicolon}{*!?}
+\DeclarePunctuationPairs{colon}{*!?}
+\DeclarePunctuationPairs{period}{}
+\DeclarePunctuationPairs{exclam}{*}
+\DeclarePunctuationPairs{question}{*}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Since this feature is language specific, \cmd{DeclarePunctuationPairs} must be used in the argument to \cmd{DefineBibliographyExtras} (when used in the preamble) or \cmd{DeclareBibliographyExtras} (when used in a localisation module). See \secref{use:lng, aut:lng} for details. Note that some localisation modules may use a setup which is different from the package default.\footnote{As of this writing, the \texttt{american} module uses different settings for <American-style> punctuation.}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareQuotePunctuation}{characters}
+
+This command controls <American-style> punctuation. The \cmd{mkbibquote} wrapper from \secref{aut:fmt:ich} can interact with the punctuation facilities discussed in \secref{aut:pct:new, aut:pct:pct, aut:pct:spc}. Punctuation marks after \cmd{mkbibquote} will be moved inside the quotes if they have been registered with \cmd{DeclareQuotePunctuation}. Note that \prm{characters} is an undelimited list of characters. Valid \prm{characters} are period, comma, semicolon, colon, exclamation and question mark. Here is an example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareQuotePunctuation{.,}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Executing |\DeclareQuotePunctuation{}| is equivalent to disabling this feature. This is the package default. Since this feature is language specific, this command must be used in the argument to \cmd{DefineBibliographyExtras} (when used in the preamble) or \cmd{DeclareBibliographyExtras} (when used in a localisation module). See \secref{use:lng, aut:lng} for details. See also \secref{use:loc:us}.
+
+\csitem{uspunctuation}
+
+A shorthand using the lower-level commands \cmd{DeclareQuotePunctuation} and \cmd{DeclarePunctuationPairs} to activate <American-style> punctuation. See \secref{use:loc:us} for details. This shorthand is provided for convenience only. The effective settings are applied by the lower-level commands.
+
+\csitem{stdpunctuation}
+
+Undoes the settings applied by \cmd{uspunctuation}, restoring standard punctuation. As standard punctuation is the default setting, you only need this command to override a previously executed \cmd{uspunctuation} command. See \secref{use:loc:us} for details.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Correcting Punctuation Tracking}
+\label{aut:pct:ctr}
+
+The facilities for punctuation tracking and automatic capitalization are very reliable under normal circumstances, but there are always marginal cases which may require manual intervention. Typical cases are localisation strings printed as the first word in a footnote (which is usually treated as the beginning of a paragraph as far as capitalization is concerned, but \tex is not in vertical mode at this point) or punctuation after periods which are not really end"=of"=sentence periods (for example, after an ellipsis like «[\dots\unkern]» a command such as \cmd{addperiod} would do nothing since parentheses and brackets are transparent to the punctuation tracker). In such cases, use the following commands in bibliography and citation styles to mark the beginning or middle of a sentence if and where required:
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\csitem{bibsentence}
+
+This command marks the beginning of a sentence. A localisation string immediately after this command will be capitalized and the punctuation tracker is reset, \ie this command hides all preceding punctuation marks from the punctuation tracker and enforces capitalization.
+
+\csitem{midsentence}
+
+This command marks the middle of a sentence. A localisation string immediately after this command will not be capitalized and the punctuation tracker is reset, \ie this command hides all preceding punctuation marks from the punctuation tracker and suppresses capitalization.
+
+\csitem*{midsentence*}
+
+The starred variant of \cmd{midsentence} differs from the regular one in that a preceding abbreviation dot is not hidden from the punctuation tracker, \ie any code after \cmd{midsentence*} will see a preceding abbreviation dot. All other punctuation marks are hidden from the punctuation tracker and capitalization is suppressed.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsection{Localization Strings}
+\label{aut:str}
+
+Localization strings are key terms such as <edition> or <volume> which are automatically translated by \biblatex's localisation modules. See \secref{aut:lng} for an overview and \secref{aut:lng:key} for a list of all strings supported by default. The commands in this section are used to print the localised term.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{bibstring}[wrapper]{key}
+
+Prints the localisation string \prm{key}, where \prm{key} is an identifier in lowercase letters (see \secref{aut:lng:key}). The string will be capitalized as required, see \secref{aut:pct:cfg} for details.
+Depending on the \opt{abbreviate} package option from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}, \cmd{bibstring} prints the short or the long version of the string. If localisation strings are nested, \ie if \cmd{bibstring} is used in another string, it will behave like \cmd{bibxstring}.
+If the \prm{wrapper} argument is given, the string is passed to the \prm{wrapper} for formatting. This is intended for font commands such as \cmd{emph}.
+
+\cmditem{biblstring}[wrapper]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{bibstring} but always prints the long string, ignoring the \opt{abbreviate} option.
+
+\cmditem{bibsstring}[wrapper]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{bibstring} but always prints the short string, ignoring the \opt{abbreviate} option.
+
+\cmditem{bibncpstring}[wrapper]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{bibstring} but the term is never capitalized.
+
+\cmditem{bibncplstring}[wrapper]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{biblstring} but the term is never capitalized.
+
+\cmditem{bibncpsstring}[wrapper]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{bibsstring} but the term is never capitalized.
+
+\cmditem{bibcpstring}[wrapper]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{bibstring} but the term is always capitalized.
+
+\cmditem{bibcplstring}[wrapper]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{biblstring} but the term is always capitalized.
+
+\cmditem{bibcpsstring}[wrapper]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{bibsstring} but the term is always capitalized.
+
+\cmditem{bibucstring}[wrapper]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{bibstring} but the whole term is uppercased.
+
+\cmditem{bibuclstring}[wrapper]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{biblstring} but the whole term is uppercased.
+
+\cmditem{bibucsstring}[wrapper]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{bibsstring} but the whole term is uppercased.
+
+\cmditem{biblcstring}[wrapper]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{bibstring} but the whole term is lowercased.
+
+\cmditem{biblclstring}[wrapper]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{biblstring} but the whole term is lowercased.
+
+\cmditem{biblcsstring}[wrapper]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{bibsstring} but the whole term is lowercased.
+
+\cmditem{bibxstring}{key}
+
+A simplified but expandable version of \cmd{bibstring}. Note that this variant does not capitalize automatically, nor does it hook into the punctuation tracker. It is intended for special cases in which strings are nested or an expanded localisation string is required in a test.
+
+\cmditem{bibxlstring}[wrapper]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{bibxstring} but always uses the long string, ignoring the \opt{abbreviate} option.
+
+\cmditem{bibxsstring}[wrapper]{key}
+
+Similar to \cmd{bibxstring} but always uses the short string, ignoring the \opt{abbreviate} option.
+
+\cmditem{mainlang}\DeprecatedMark
+
+Switches from the current language to the main document language. This command is deprecated. Use the text-macro \cmd{textmainlang} instead. With \sty{babel} this command will need to be wrapped into \emph{two} groups to have purely local effect.
+
+\cmditem{textmainlang}{text}
+
+Locally switches from the current language to the main document language to typeset \prm{text}. This can be used the \prm{wrapper} argument in the localisation string commands above.
+
+\cmditem{texouterlang}{text}
+
+Locally switches from the current language to the surrounding language (which was not selected by \sty{biblatex}) to typeset \prm{text}. This can be used the \prm{wrapper} argument in the localisation string commands above.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+It is possible to add bibliography strings to a bibliography string set to apply additional formatting.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareBibstringSet}{setname}{key, \dots}
+
+This commands assigns all \prm{key}s to the bibliography string set \prm{setname}.
+
+\cmditem{UndeclareBibstringSet}{setname}
+
+Remove the bibliography string set \prm{setname}. Any formatting definitions will also be cleared.
+
+\cmditem{UndeclareBibstringSets}
+
+Remove all existing bibliography string sets with \cmd{UndeclareBibstringSet}.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareBibstringSetFormat}{setname}{code}
+
+Defines the bibliography string format for \prm{setname}. The format works exactly like an additional \prm{wrapper} format for \cmd{bibstring}. \prm{code} is executed whenever a bibliography string of \prm{setname} is printed. The text of the bibliography string is passed to \prm{code} as first and only argument.
+
+\cmditem{UneclareBibstringSetFormat}{setname}
+
+Remove any bibliography string set format defined for \prm{setname}.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+Bibliography string sets can be useful to apply additional formatting to a number of bibliography strings at the same time. These commands are intended for use in language modules. For example in French typography it is customary to italicise Latin terms. The French language module can define a new bibliography string set called \texttt{latin} for all Latin strings and apply additional formatting only to these strings. It is not recommended to apply the formatting dierctly in the bibliography string definitions, since that can interfere with the capitalisation function. Assuming that the French language \texttt{.lbx} file only defines two Latin strings, \texttt{andothers} and \texttt{andothers}, the \texttt{.lbx} file would contain.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}[escapeinside={(*@}{@*)}]
+\DeclareBibliographyExtras{%
+ (*@\dots@*)
+ \DeclareBibstringSet{latin}{andothers,ibidem}%
+ \DeclareBibstringSetFormat{latin}{\mkbibemph{#1}}%
+ (*@\dots@*)
+}
+
+\UndeclareBibliographyExtras{%
+ (*@\dots@*)
+ \UndeclareBibstringSet{latin}%
+ (*@\dots@*)
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+Note that the defined sets should be undeclared after use to avoid side effects for other languages.
+
+
+\subsection{Localization Modules}
+\label{aut:lng}
+
+A localisation module provides translations for key terms such as <edition> or <volume> as well as definitions for language specific features such as the date format and ordinals. These definitions are provided in files with the suffix \file{lbx}. The base name of the file must be a language name known to the \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} packages. The \file{lbx} files may also be used to map \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} language names to the backend modules of the \biblatex package. All localisation modules are loaded on demand in the document body. Note that the contents of the file are processed in a group and that the category code of the character \texttt{@} is temporarily set to <letter>.
+
+\subsubsection{Localization Commands}
+\label{aut:lng:cmd}
+
+The user"=level versions of the localisation commands were already introduced in \secref{use:lng}. When used in \file{lbx} files, however, the syntax of localisation commands is different from the user syntax in the preamble and the configuration file. When used in localisation files, there is no need to specify the \prm{language} because the mapping of strings to a language is already provided by the name of the \file{lbx} file.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareBibliographyStrings}{definitions}
+
+This command is only available in \file{lbx} files. It is used to define localisation strings. The \prm{definitions} consist of \keyval pairs which assign an expression to an identifier. A complete list of all keys supported by default is given is \secref{aut:lng:key}. Note that the syntax of the value is different in \file{lbx} files. The value assigned to a key consists of two expressions, each of which is wrapped in an additional pair of brackets. This is best shown by example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareBibliographyStrings{%
+ bibliography = {{Bibliography}{Bibliography}},
+ shorthands = {{List of Abbreviations}{Abbreviations}},
+ editor = {{editor}{ed.}},
+ editors = {{editors}{eds.}},
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The first value is the long, written out expression, the second one is an abbreviated or short form. Both strings must always be given even though they may be identical if an expression is always (or never) abbreviated. Depending on the setting of the \opt{abbreviate} package option (see \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}), \biblatex selects one expression when loading the \file{lbx} file. There is also a special key named \texttt{inherit} which copies the strings from a different language. This is intended for languages which only differ in a few expressions, such as German and Austrian or American and British English. For example, here are the complete definitions for Austrian:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareBibliographyStrings{%
+ inherit = {german},
+ january = {{J\"anner}{J\"an.}},
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+The above examples are slightly simplified. Real localisation files should use the punctuation and formatting commands discussed in \secref{aut:pct:pct, use:fmt} instead of literal punctuation. Here is an excerpt from a real localisation file:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+ bibliography = {{Bibliography}{Bibliography}},
+ shorthands = {{List of Abbreviations}{Abbreviations}},
+ editor = {{editor}{ed\adddot}},
+ editors = {{editors}{eds\adddot}},
+ byeditor = {{edited by}{ed\adddotspace by}},
+ mathesis = {{Master's thesis}{MA\addabbrvspace thesis}},
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Note the handling of abbreviation dots, the spacing in abbreviated expressions, and the capitalization in the example above. All expressions should be capitalized as they usually are when used in the middle of a sentence. The \biblatex package will automatically capitalize the first word when required at the beginning of a sentence, see \cmd{DeclareCapitalPunctuation} in \secref{aut:pct:cfg} for details. Expressions intended for use in headings are special. They should be capitalized in a way that is suitable for titling and should not be abbreviated (but they may have a short form).
+
+\cmditem{InheritBibliographyStrings}{language}
+
+This command is only available in \file{lbx} files. It copies the localisation strings for \prm{language} to the current language, as specified by the name of the \file{lbx} file.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareBibliographyExtras}{code}
+
+This command is only available in \file{lbx} files. It is used to adapt language specific features such as the date format and ordinals. The \prm{code}, which may be arbitrary \latex code, will usually consist of redefinitions of the formatting commands from \secref{aut:fmt:lng}.
+
+\cmditem{UndeclareBibliographyExtras}{code}
+
+This command is only available in \file{lbx} files. It is used to restore any formatting commands modified with \cmd{DeclareBibliographyExtras}. If a redefined command is included in \secref{aut:fmt:lng}, there is no need to restore its previous definition since these commands are localised by all language modules anyway.
+
+\cmditem{InheritBibliographyExtras}{language}
+
+This command is only available in \file{lbx} files. It copies the bibliography extras for \prm{language} to the current language, as specified by the name of the \file{lbx} file.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareHyphenationExceptions}{text}
+
+This command corresponds to \cmd{DefineHyphenationExceptions} from \secref{use:lng}. The difference is that it is only available in \file{lbx} files and that the \prm{language} argument is omitted. The hyphenation exceptions will affect the language of the \file{lbx} file currently being processed.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareRedundantLanguages}{language, language, ...}{langid, langid, ...}
+
+This command provides the language mappings required by the \opt{clearlang} option from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}.
+The \prm{language} is the string given in the \bibfield{language} field (without the optional \texttt{lang} prefix); \prm{langid} is \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia}'s language identifier, as given in the optional argument of \cmd{usepackage} when loading \sty{babel} or the argument of \cmd{setdefaultlanguage} or \cmd{setotherlanguages} when using \sty{polyglossia}. This command may be used in \file{lbx} files or in the document preamble. Here are some examples:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareRedundantLanguages{french}{french}
+\DeclareRedundantLanguages{german}{german,ngerman,austrian,naustrian,
+ nswissgerman,swissgerman}
+\DeclareRedundantLanguages{english,american}{english,american,british,
+ canadian,australian,newzealand,USenglish,UKenglish}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Note that this feature needs to be enabled globally with the \opt{clearlang} option from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}. If it is disabled, all mappings will be ignored. If the \prm{langid} parameter is blank, \biblatex will clear the mappings for the corresponding \prm{language}, \ie the feature will be disabled for this \prm{language} only.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareLanguageMapping}{language}{file}
+
+This command maps a \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} language identifier to an \file{lbx} file. The \prm{language} must be a language name known to the \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} package, \ie one of the identifiers listed in \tabref{bib:fld:tab1}. The \prm{file} argument is the name of an alternative \file{lbx} file without the \texttt{.lbx} suffix. Declaring the same mapping more than once is possible. Subsequent declarations will simply overwrite any previous ones. This command may only be used in the preamble. See \secref{aut:cav:lng} for further details.
+
+\cmditem{DeclareLanguageMappingSuffix}{suffix}
+
+This command defines a language file suffix which will be added when looking for \file{.lbx} language string definition files. This is intended for styles which provide their own \file{.lbx} files so that they will be used automatically. For example, the APA style defines:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareLanguageMappingSuffix{-apa}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+When the document language is <german>, \biblatex will look for the file \file{german-apa.lbx} which defines some APA specific strings and in turn loads \file{german.lbx}. If \cmd{DeclareLanguageMapping} is defined for a language, this overrides \cmd{DeclareLanguageMappingSuffix}.
+
+The suffix will be applied to other language files loaded recursively by the loading of a language file. For example, given the suffix defined above, when loading <ngerman>, \biblatex will look for the file \file{ngerman-apa.lbx} and if this recursively loads <german>, then biblatex will look for \file{german-apa.lbx}. Infinite recursion is of course avoided.
+
+\cmditem{NewBibliographyString}{key}
+
+This command, which may be used in the preamble (including \file{cbx} and \file{bbx} files) as well as in \file{lbx} files, declares new localisation strings, \ie it initializes a new \prm{key} to be used in the \prm{definitions} of \cmd{DefineBibliographyStrings} or \cmd{DeclareBibliographyStrings}. The \prm{key} argument may also be a comma"=separated list of key names. When used in an \file{lbx}, the \prm{key} is initialized only for the language specified by the name of the \file{lbx} file. The keys listed in \secref{aut:lng:key} are defined by default.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Localization Keys}
+\label{aut:lng:key}
+
+The localisation keys in this section are defined by default and covered by the localisation files which come with \biblatex. Note that these strings are only available in citations, the bibliography and bibliography lists. All expressions should be capitalized as they usually are when used in the middle of a sentence. \biblatex will capitalize them automatically at the beginning of a sentence. The only exceptions to these rules are the three strings intended for use in headings.
+
+\paragraph{Headings}
+\label{aut:lng:key:bhd}
+
+The following strings are special because they are intended for use in headings and made available globally via macros. For this reason, they should be capitalized for use in headings and they must not include any local commands which are part of \biblatex's author interface.
+
+\begin{keymarglist}
+\item[bibliography] The term <bibliography>, also available as \cmd{bibname}.
+\item[references] The term <references>, also available as \cmd{refname}.
+\item[shorthands] The term <list of shorthands> or <list of abbreviations>, also available as \cmd{biblistname}.
+\end{keymarglist}
+
+\paragraph{Roles, Expressed as Functions}

+Country names are localised by using the string \texttt{country} plus the \acr{ISO}-3166 country code as the key. The short version of the translation should be the \acr{ISO}-3166 country code. Note that only a small number of country names is defined by default, mainly to illustrate this scheme. These keys are used in the \bibfield{location} list of \bibtype{patent} entries but they may be useful for other purposes as well.

+\begin{keymarglist}
+\item[countryde] The name <Germany>, abbreviated as \texttt{DE}.
+\item[countryeu] The name <European Union>, abbreviated as \texttt{EU}.

+\subsection{Formatting Commands}
+\label{aut:fmt}
+
+This section corresponds to \secref{use:fmt} in the user part of this manual. Bibliography and citation styles should incorporate the commands and facilities discussed in this section in order to provide a certain degree of high"=level configurability. Users should not be forced to write new styles if all they want to do is modify the spacing in the bibliography or the punctuation used in citations.
+
+\subsubsection{User-definable Commands and Hooks}
+\label{aut:fmt:fmt}
+
+This section corresponds to \secref{use:fmt:fmt} in the user part of the manual. The commands and hooks discussed here are meant to be redefined by users, but bibliography and citation styles may provide a default definition which is different from the package default. These commands are defined in \path{biblatex.def}. Note that all commands starting with \cmd{mk\dots} take one mandatory argument.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+\csitem{bibsetup}
+Arbitrary code to be executed at the beginning of the bibliography, intended for commands which affect the layout of the bibliography.
+
+\csitem{bibfont}
+Arbitrary code setting the font used in the bibliography. This is very similar to \cmd{bibsetup} but intended for switching fonts.
+
+\csitem{citesetup}
+Arbitrary code to be executed at the beginning of each citation command.
+
+\csitem{newblockpunct}
+The separator inserted between <blocks> in the sense explained in \secref{aut:pct:new}. The default definition is controlled by the package option \opt{block} (see \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}).
+
+\csitem{newunitpunct}
+The separator inserted between <units> in the sense explained in \secref{aut:pct:new}. This will usually be a period or a comma plus an interword space. The default definition is a period and a space.
+
+\csitem{finentrypunct}
+The punctuation printed at the very end of every bibliography entry, usually a period. The default definition is a period.
+
+\csitem{entrysetpunct}
+The punctuation printed between bibliography subentries of an entry set. The default definition is a semicolon and a space.
+
+\csitem{bibnamedelima}
+This delimiter controls the spacing between the elements which make up a name part. It is inserted automatically by the backend after the first name element if the element is less than three characters long and before the last element. The default definition is \cmd{addhighpenspace}, \ie a space penalized by the value of the \cnt{highnamepenalty} counter (\secref{use:fmt:len}). Please refer to \secref{use:cav:nam} for further details.
+
+\csitem{bibnamedelimb}
+This delimiter controls the spacing between the elements which make up a name part. It is inserted automatically by the backend between all name elements where \cmd{bibnamedelima} does not apply. The default definition is \cmd{addlowpenspace}, \ie a space penalized by the value of the \cnt{lownamepenalty} counter (\secref{use:fmt:len}). Please refer to \secref{use:cav:nam} for further details.
+
+\csitem{bibnamedelimc}
+This delimiter controls the spacing between name parts. The default name formats use it between the name prefix and the family name if \kvopt{useprefix}{true}. The default definition is \cmd{addhighpenspace}, \ie a space penalized by the value of the \cnt{highnamepenalty} counter (\secref{use:fmt:len}). Please refer to \secref{use:cav:nam} for further details.
+
+\csitem{bibnamedelimd}
+This delimiter controls the spacing between name parts. The default name formats use it between all name parts where \cmd{bibnamedelimc} does not apply. The default definition is \cmd{addlowpenspace}, \ie a space penalized by the value of the \cnt{lownamepenalty} counter (\secref{use:fmt:len}). Please refer to \secref{use:cav:nam} for further details.
+
+\csitem{bibnamedelimi}
+This delimiter replaces \cmd{bibnamedelima/b} after initials. Note that this only applies to initials given as such in the \file{bib} file, not to the initials automatically generated by \biblatex which use their own set of delimiters.
+
+\csitem{bibinitperiod}
+The punctuation inserted automatically by the backend after all initials unless \cmd{bibinithyphendelim} applies. The default definition is a period (\cmd{adddot}). Please refer to \secref{use:cav:nam} for further details.
+
+\csitem{bibinitdelim}
+The spacing inserted automatically by the backend between multiple initials unless \cmd{bibinithyphendelim} applies. The default definition is an unbreakable interword space. Please refer to \secref{use:cav:nam} for further details.
+
+\csitem{bibinithyphendelim}
+The punctuation inserted automatically by the backend between the initials of hyphenated name parts, replacing \cmd{bibinitperiod} and \cmd{bibinitdelim}. The default definition is a period followed by an unbreakable hyphen. Please refer to \secref{use:cav:nam} for further details.
+
+\csitem{bibindexnamedelima}
+Replaces \cmd{bibnamedelima} in the index.
+
+\csitem{bibindexnamedelimb}
+Replaces \cmd{bibnamedelimb} in the index.
+
+\csitem{bibindexnamedelimc}
+Replaces \cmd{bibnamedelimc} in the index.
+
+\csitem{bibindexnamedelimd}
+Replaces \cmd{bibnamedelimd} in the index.
+
+\csitem{bibindexnamedelimi}
+Replaces \cmd{bibnamedelimi} in the index.
+
+\csitem{bibindexinitperiod}
+Replaces \cmd{bibinitperiod} in the index.
+
+\csitem{bibindexinitdelim}
+Replaces \cmd{bibinitdelim} in the index.
+
+\csitem{bibindexinithyphendelim}
+Replaces \cmd{bibinithyphendelim} in the index.
+
+\csitem{revsdnamepunct}
+The punctuation to be printed between the given and family name parts when a name is reversed. The default is a comma. This command should be incorporated in formatting directives for name lists. Please refer to \secref{use:cav:nam} for further details.
+
+\csitem{bibnamedash}
+The dash to be used as a replacement for recurrent authors or editors in the bibliography. The default is an <em> or an <en> dash, depending on the indentation of the list of references.
+
+\csitem{labelnamepunct}\DeprecatedMark
+A separator to be printed after the name used for alphabetizing in the bibliography (\bibfield{author} or \bibfield{editor}, if the \bibfield{author} field is undefined) instead of \cmd{newunitpunct}. The default is \cmd{newunitpunct}, \ie it is not handled differently from regular unit punctuation but permits convenient reconfiguration. This punctuation command is deprecated and has been superseded by the context-sensitive \cmd{nametitledelim} (see \secref{use:fmt:csd}). For backwards compatibility reasons, however, \cmd{nametitledelim} still defaults to \cmd{labelnamepunct} in the \texttt{bib} and \texttt{biblist} contexts. Style authors may want to consider replacing \cmd{labelnampunct} with \texttt{\textbackslash printdelim\{nametitledelim\}} and users may want to prefer modifying the context-sensitive \texttt{nametitledelim} with \cmd{DeclareDelimFormat} over redefining \cmd{labelnamepunct}, \eg
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareDelimFormat[bib]{nametitledelim}{%
+ \addcolon\space}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+
+\csitem{subtitlepunct}
+The separator to be printed between the fields \bibfield{title} and \bibfield{subtitle}, \bibfield{booktitle} and \bibfield{booksubtitle}, as well as \bibfield{maintitle} and \bibfield{mainsubtitle}. Use this separator instead of \cmd{newunitpunct} at this location. The default is \cmd{newunitpunct}, \ie it is not handled differently from regular unit punctuation but permits convenient reconfiguration.
+
+\csitem{intitlepunct}
+The separator to be printed between the word «in» and the following title in entry types such as \bibtype{article}, \bibtype{inbook}, \bibtype{incollection}, etc. Use this separator instead of \cmd{newunitpunct} at this location. The default definition is a colon plus an interword space.
+
+\csitem{bibpagespunct}
+The separator to be printed before the \bibfield{pages} field. Use this separator instead of \cmd{newunitpunct} at this location. The default is a comma plus an interword space.
+
+\csitem{bibpagerefpunct}
+The separator to be printed before the \bibfield{pageref} field. Use this separator instead of \cmd{newunitpunct} at this location. The default is an interword space.
+
+\csitem{bibeidpunct}
+The separator printed before the \bibfield{eid} field (similar to \cmd{bibpagespunct}). The default is a comma plus an interword space.
+
+\csitem{multinamedelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter to be printed between multiple items in a name list like \bibfield{author} or \bibfield{editor} if there are more than two names in the list. If there are only two names in the list, use the \cmd{finalnamedelim} instead. This command should be incorporated in all formatting directives for name lists. The default is a comma followed by an interword space.
+
+\csitem{finalnamedelim}\CSdelimMark
+Use this command instead of \cmd{multinamedelim} before the final name in a name list. The default is the localised term <and>, separated by interword spaces.
+
+\csitem{revsdnamedelim}\CSdelimMark
+The extra delimiter to be printed after the first name in a name list consisting of two names (in addition to \cmd{finalnamedelim}) if the first name is reversed. This command should be incorporated in all formatting directives for name lists.
+
+\csitem{andothersdelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter to be printed before the localisation string <\texttt{andothers}> if a name list like \bibfield{author} or \bibfield{editor} is truncated. This command should be incorporated in all formatting directives for name lists. The default is an interword space.
+
+\csitem{multilistdelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter to be printed between multiple items in a literal list like \bibfield{publisher} or \bibfield{location} if there are more than two names in the list. If there are only two items in the list, use the \cmd{finallistdelim} instead. This command should be incorporated in all formatting directives for literal lists. The default is a comma plus an interword space.
+
+\csitem{finallistdelim}\CSdelimMark
+Use this command instead of \cmd{multilistdelim} before the final item in a literal list. The default is the localised term <and>, separated by interword spaces.
+
+\csitem{andmoredelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter to be printed before the localisation string <\texttt{andmore}> if a literal list like \bibfield{publisher} or \bibfield{location} is truncated. This command should be incorporated in all formatting directives for literal lists. The default is an interword space.
+
+\csitem{multicitedelim}
+The delimiter printed between citations if multiple entry keys are passed to a single citation command. This command should be incorporated in the definition of all citation commands, for example in the \prm{sepcode} argument passed to \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand}. See \secref{aut:cbx:cbx} for details. The default is a semicolon plus an interword space.
+
+\csitem{multiciterangedelim}
+The delimiter printed between two citations if they are compressed to a range. The default is \cmd{bibrangedash}.
+
+\csitem{multicitesubentrydelim}
+The delimiter printed between subentry citations of the same set. This delimiter is only used in citation styles that reduce citations of the same set to a more compact form (\opt{subentry} of \texttt{numeric-comp}). The default is a comma.
+
+\csitem{multicitesubentryrangedelim}
+The delimiter printed between two citations of the same set if they are compressed to a range. The default is \cmd{multiciterangedelim}.

+\csitem{superciterangedelim}
+Analogue of \cmd{multiciterangedelim} for \cmd{supercite}. The default is \cmd{bibrangedash}.
+
+\csitem{supercitesubentrydelim}
+Analogue of \cmd{multicitesubentrydelim} for \cmd{supercite}. The default is \cmd{supercitedelim}.
+
+\csitem{supercitesubentryrangedelim}
+Analogue of \cmd{multicitesubentryrangedelim} for \cmd{supercite}. The default is \cmd{superciterangedelim}.
+
+\csitem{compcitedelim}
+Similar to \cmd{multicitedelim}, but intended for citation styles that <compress> multiple citations, \ie print the author only once if subsequent citations share the same author etc. The default definition is a comma plus an interword space.
+
+\csitem{textcitedelim}
+Similar to \cmd{multicitedelim}, but intended for \cmd{textcite} and related commands (\secref{use:cit:cbx}). The default is a comma plus an interword space. The standard styles modify this provisional definition to ensure that the delimiter before the final citation is the localised term <and>, separated by interword spaces.
+
+\csitem{nametitledelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter to be printed between the author\slash editor and the title. This command should be incorporated in the definition of all citation commands of author-title and some verbose citation styles and in the bibliography drivers---in author-year bibliographies \cs{nametitledelim} may be printed between the author\slash editor-year block and the title. The default definition inside bibliographies (\ie in the \texttt{bib} and \texttt{biblist} contexts) is the now deprecated \cmd{labelnamepunct} (for backwards compatibility reasons), in \texttt{textcite} context it is a space and it is a comma plus an interword space otherwise.
+
+\csitem{nameyeardelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter to be printed between the author\slash editor and the year. This command should be incorporated in the definition of all citation commands of author-year citation styles and in the bibliography drivers. The default definition is an interword space. For backwards compatibility reasons there are separate definitions in the \texttt{bib}, \texttt{biblist}, \texttt{textcite} and global context.
+
+\csitem{namelabeldelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed between the name\slash title and the label. This command should be incorporated in the definition of all citation commands of alphabetic and numeric citation styles. The default definition is an interword space.
+
+\csitem{nonameyeardelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed between the substitute for the labelname when it does not exist (usually the label or title in standard styles) and the year citation styles and the bibliography drivers. This command should be incorporated in the definition of all citation commands of author-year citation styles and in the bibliography drivers. The default definition is an interword space. For backwards compatibility reasons there are separate definitions in the \texttt{bib}, \texttt{biblist}, \texttt{textcite} and global context.
+
+\csitem{authortypedelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed between the author and the \texttt{authortype}. The default is a comma followed by a space.
+
+\csitem{editortypedelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed between the editor and the \texttt{editor} or \texttt{editortype} string. The default is a comma followed by a space.
+
+\csitem{translatortypedelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed between the translator and the \texttt{translator} string. The default is a comma followed by a space.
+
+\csitem{labelalphaothers}
+A string to be appended to the non"=numeric portion of the \bibfield{labelalpha} field (\ie the field holding the citation label used by alphabetic citation styles) if the number of authors\slash editors exceeds the \opt{maxalphanames} threshold or the \bibfield{author}\slash \bibfield{editor} list was truncated in the \file{bib} file with the keyword <\texttt{and others}>. This will typically be a single character such as a plus sign or an asterisk. The default is a plus sign. This command may also be redefined to an empty string to disable this feature. In any case, it must be redefined in the preamble.
+
+\csitem{sortalphaothers}
+Similar to \cmd{labelalphaothers} but used in the sorting process. Setting it to a different value is advisable if the latter contains formatting commands. If \cmd{sortalphaothers} is not redefined, it defaults to \cmd{labelalphaothers}.
+
+\csitem{volcitedelim}
+The delimiter to be printed between the volume portion and the page/text portion of \cmd{volcite} and related commands (\secref{use:cit:spc}).
+
+\csitem{prenotedelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter to be printed after the \prm{prenote} argument of a citation command. The default is an interword space.
+
+\csitem{postnotedelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter to be printed before the \prm{postnote} argument of a citation command. The default is a comma plus an interword space.
+
+\csitem{extpostnotedelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter printed between the citation and the parenthetical \prm{postnote} argument of a citation command when the postnote occurs outside of the citation parentheses. In the standard styles, this occurs when the citation uses the shorthand field of the entry. The default is an interword space.
+
+\csitem{multiprenotedelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter to be printed after the \prm{multiprenote} argument of a citation command.
+
+\csitem{multipostnotedelim}\CSdelimMark
+The delimiter to be printed before the \prm{multipostnote} argument of a citation command.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibname<namepart>}{text}
+Formatting hook for the name part <namepart>, to be used in all formatting directives for name lists. The default datamodel defines the name parts <family>, <given>, <prefix> and <suffix> and therefore the following macros are automatically defined:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\mkbibnamefamily
+\mkbibnamegiven
+\mkbibnameprefix
+\mkbibnamesuffix
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{mkbibcompletename<formatorder>}{text}
+Formatting hook for the complete name in format order <formatorder>. The default styles use the name format orders <family>, <family-given> and <given-family>, therefore the following macros are automatically defined:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\mkbibcompletenamefamily
+\mkbibcompletenamefamilygiven
+\mkbibcompletenamegivenfamily
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+These formatting hooks should enclose the complete name in the bibliography macro \cmd{name:<formatorder>}. Initially all hooks expand to \cmd{mkbibcompletename}.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibcompletename}{text}
+The initial value of all default formatting hooks \cmd{mkbibcompletename<formatorder>}.
+
+\csitem{datecircadelim}\CSdelimMark

+When formatting dates with the global option \opt{dateera} set, the delimiter printed before the localisation era term. Defaults to interword space.
+
+\csitem{dateuncertainprint}
+Prints date uncertainty information when the global option \opt{dateuncertain} is enabled and the \cmd{ifdateuncertain} test is true. By default, prints the language specific \cmd{bibdateuncertain} string (\secref{use:fmt:lng}).
+
+\csitem{enddateuncertainprint}
+Prints date uncertainty information when the global option \opt{dateuncertain} is enabled and the \cmd{ifenddateuncertain} test is true. By default, prints the language specific \cmd{bibdateuncertain} string (\secref{use:fmt:lng}).
+
+\csitem{datecircaprint}
+Prints date circa information when the global option \opt{datecirca} is enabled and the \cmd{ifdatecirca} test is true. By default, prints the <circa> localised term (\secref{aut:lng:key:dt}) and the \opt{datecircadelim} delimiter.
+
+\csitem{enddatecircaprint}
+Prints date circa information when the global option \opt{datecirca} is enabled and the \cmd{ifenddatecirca} test is true. By default, prints the <circa> localised term (\secref{aut:lng:key:dt}) and the \opt{datecircadelim} delimiter.
+
+\csitem{datecircaprintiso}
+Prints \acr{ISO8601-2} format date circa information when the global option \opt{datecirca} is enabled and the \cmd{ifdatecirca} test is true. Prints \cmd{textasciitilde}.
+
+\csitem{enddatecircaprintiso}
+Prints \acr{ISO8601-2} format date circa information when the global option \opt{datecirca} is enabled and the \cmd{ifenddatecirca} test is true. Prints \cmd{textasciitilde}.
+
+\csitem{dateeraprint}{yearfield}
+Prints date era information when the global option \opt{dateera} is set to <secular> or <christian>. By default, prints the \opt{dateeradelim} delimiter and the appropriate localised era term (\secref{aut:lng:key:dt}). If the \opt{dateeraauto} option is set, then the passed \prm{yearfield} (which is the name of a year field such as <year>, <origyear>, <endeventyear> etc.) is tested to see if its value is earlier than the \opt{dateeraauto} threshold and if so, then the BCE/CE localisation will be output too. The default setting for \opt{dateeraauto} is 0 and so only BCE/BC localisation strings are candidates for output. Detects whether the start or end year era information is to be printed by looking at the \prm{yearfield} name passed to it.
+
+\csitem{dateeraprintpre}
+Prints date era information when the global option \opt{dateera} is set to <astronomical>. By default, prints \opt{bibdataeraprefix}. Detects whether the start or end year era information is to be printed by looking at the \prm{yearfield} name passed to it.
+
+\csitem{relatedpunct}
+The separator between the \bibfield{relatedtype} bibliography localisation string and the data from the first related entry.

+The generic separator between the data of multiple related entries. The default definition is an optional dot plus linebreak.
+
+\csitem{relateddelim$<$relatedtype$>$}
+The separator between the data of multiple related entries inside related entries of type <relatedtype>. There is no default, if such a type-specific delimiter does not exist, \cmd{relateddelim} is used.
+
+\csitem{begrelateddelim}
+The generic separator before the block of related entries. The default definition is \cmd{newunitpunct}.
+
+\csitem{begrelateddelim$<$relatedtype$>$}
+The separator between the block of related entries of type <relatedtype>. There is no default, if such a type-specific delimiter does not exist, \cmd{relateddelim} is used.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Language-specific Commands}
+\label{aut:fmt:lng}
+
+This section corresponds to \secref{use:fmt:lng} in the user part of the manual. The commands discussed here are usually handled by the localisation modules, but may also be redefined by users on a per"=language basis. Note that all commands starting with \cmd{mk\dots} take one or more mandatory arguments.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\csitem{bibrangedash}
+
+The language specific dash to be used for ranges of numbers. Defaults to \cmd{textendash}.
+
+\csitem{bibrangessep}
+
+The language specific separator to be used between multiple ranges. Defaults to a comma followed by a space.
+
+\csitem{bibdatesep}
+
+The language specific separator used between date components in terse date formats. Defaults to \cmd{hyphen}.
+
+\csitem{bibdaterangesep}
+
+The language specific separator to be used for date ranges. Defaults to \cmd{textendash} for all date formats apart from \opt{ymd} which defaults to a \cmd{slash}. The date format option \opt{iso} is hard-coded to \cmd{slash} since this is a standards compliant format.
+
+\csitem{mkbibdatelong}
+
+Takes the names of three field as arguments which correspond to three date components (in the order year\slash month\slash day) and uses their values to print the date in the language specific long date format.
+
+\csitem{mkbibdateshort}
+
+Similar to \cmd{mkbibdatelong} but using the language specific short date format.
+
+\csitem{mkbibtimezone}
+
+Modifies a timezone string passed in as the only argument. By default this changes <Z> to the value of \cmd{bibtimezone}.
+
+\csitem{bibdateuncertain}
+
+The language specific marker to be used after uncertain dates when the global option \opt{dateuncertain} is enabled. Defaults to a space followed by a question mark.
+
+
+\csitem{bibdateeraprefix}
+
+The language specific marker which is printed as a prefix to beginning BCE/BC dates in a date range when the option \opt{dateera} is set to <astronomical>. Defaults to \cmd{textminus}, if defined and \cmd{textendash} otherwise.
+
+\csitem{bibdateeraendprefix}
+
+The language specific marker which is printed as a prefix to end BCE/BC dates in a date range when the option \opt{dateera} is set to <astronomical>. Defaults to a thin space followed by \cmd{bibdateeraprefix} when \cmd{bibdaterangesep} is set to a dash and to \cmd{bibdateeraprefix} otherwise. This is a separate macro so that you may add extra space before a negative date marker which, for example follows a dash date range marker as this can look a little odd.
+
+\csitem{bibtimesep}
+
+The language specific marker which separates time components. Default to a colon.
+
+\csitem{bibutctimezone}
+
+The language specific string printed for the UTC timezone. Defaults to <Z>.
+
+\csitem{bibtimezonesep}
+
+The language specific marker which separates an optional time zone component from a time. Empty by default.

+\subsubsection{User-definable Lengths and Counters}
+\label{aut:fmt:len}
+
+This section corresponds to \secref{use:fmt:len} in the user part of the manual. The length registers and counters discussed here are meant to be altered by users. Bibliography and citation styles should incorporate them where applicable and may also provide a default setting which is different from the package default.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\lenitem{bibhang}
+
+The hanging indentation of the bibliography, if applicable. This length is initialized to \cmd{parindent} at load-time. If \cmd{parindent} is zero length for some reason, \cmd{bibhang} will default to \texttt{1em}.
+
+\lenitem{biblabelsep}
+
+The horizontal space between entries and their corresponding labels. Bibliography styles which use \env{list} environments and print a label should set \len{labelsep} to \len{biblabelsep} in the definition of the respective environment. This length is initialized to twice the value of \cmd{labelsep} at load-time.
+
+\lenitem{bibitemsep}
+
+The vertical space between the individual entries in the bibliography. Bibliography styles using \env{list} environments should set \len{itemsep} to \len{bibitemsep} in the definition of the respective environment. This length is initialized to \cmd{itemsep} at load-time.
+
+\lenitem{bibnamesep}
+
+Vertical space to be inserted between two entries in the bibliography whenever an entry starts with a name which is different from the initial name of the previous entry. The default value is zero. Setting this length to a positive value greater than \len{bibitemsep} will group the bibliography by author\slash editor name. Note that \len{bibitemsep}, \len{bibnamesep}, and \len{bibinitsep} obey the rules for \cmd{addvspace}, that is, when vertical space introduced by any of these commands immediately follows on from space introduced by another of them, the resulting total space is equal to the largest of them.
+
+\lenitem{bibinitsep}
+
+Vertical space to be inserted between two entries in the bibliography whenever an entry starts with a letter which is different from the initial letter of the previous entry. The default value is zero. Setting this length to a positive value greater than \len{bibitemsep} will group the bibliography alphabetically. Note that \len{bibitemsep}, \len{bibnamesep}, and \len{bibinitsep} obey the rules for \cmd{addvspace}, that is, when vertical space introduced by any of these commands immediately follows on from space introduced by another of them, the resulting total space is equal to the largest of them.
+
+\lenitem{bibparsep}
+
+The vertical space between paragraphs within an entry in the bibliography. Bibliography styles using \env{list} environments should set \len{parsep} to \len{bibparsep} in the definition of the respective environment. The default value is zero.
+
+\cntitem{abbrvpenalty}
+
+The penalty used by \cmd{addabbrvspace}, \cmd{addabthinspace}, and \cmd{adddotspace}, see \secref{aut:pct:spc} for details. This counter is initialized to \cmd{hyphenpenalty} at load-time.
+
+\cntitem{highnamepenalty}
+
+The penalty used by \cmd{addhighpenspace} and \cmd{addhpthinspace}, see \secref{aut:pct:spc} for details. The counter is initialized to \cmd{hyphenpenalty} at load-time.
+
+\cntitem{lownamepenalty}
+
+The penalty used by \cmd{addlowpenspace} and \cmd{addlpthinspace}, see \secref{aut:pct:spc} for details. The counter is initialized to half the \cmd{hyphenpenalty} at load-time.
+
+\cntitem{biburlbigbreakpenalty}
+
+The \sty{biblatex} version of \sty{url}'s \len{UrlBigBreakPenalty}. The default value is \texttt{100}.
+
+\cntitem{biburlbreakpenalty}
+
+The \sty{biblatex} version of \sty{url}'s \len{UrlBreakPenalty}. The default value is \texttt{200}.
+
+\cntitem{biburlnumpenalty}
+
+If this counter is set to a value greater than zero, \biblatex will permit linebreaks after numbers in all strings formatted with the \cmd{url} command from the \sty{url} package. This will affect \acr{url}s and \acr{doi}s in the bibliography. The breakpoints will be penalized by the value of this counter. If \acr{url}s and/or \acr{doi}s in the bibliography run into the margin, try setting this counter to a value greater than zero but less than 10000 (you normally want to use a high value like 9000). Setting the counter to zero disables this feature. This is the default setting.
+
+\cntitem{biburlucpenalty}
+
+Similar to \cnt{biburlnumpenalty}, except that it will add a breakpoint after all uppercase letters.
+
+\cntitem{biburllcpenalty}
+
+Similar to \cnt{biburlnumpenalty}, except that it will add a breakpoint after all lowercase letters.
+
+\lenitem{biburlbigskip}
+
+The \sty{biblatex} version of \len{Urlmuskip}. This length holds the additional (stretchable) space inserted around breakable characters in the \cmd{url} command from the \sty{url} package. The default value is \texttt{0mu plus 3mu}.
+
+\lenitem{biburlnumskip}
+
+The additional space inserted after numbers in strings formatted with the \cmd{url} command from the \sty{url} package. This will affect \acr{url}s and \acr{doi}s in the bibliography. If \acr{url}s and/or \acr{doi}s in the bibliography run into the margin, it may help to set this length to add some small stretchable space, for example \texttt{0mu plus 1mu}. The default setting is \texttt{0mu}. This value is only used if \cnt{biburlnumpenalty} is set to a value different from zero.
+
+\lenitem{biburlucskip}
+
+Similar to \cnt{biburlnumskip}, except that it will add space after all uppercase letters.
+
+\lenitem{biburllcskip}
+
+Similar to \cnt{biburlnumskip}, except that it will add space after all uppercase letters.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Auxiliary Commands and Hooks}
+\label{aut:fmt:ich}
+
+The auxiliary commands and facilities in this section serve a special purpose. Some of them are used by \biblatex to communicate with bibliography and citation styles in some way or other.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{mkbibemph}{text}
+
+A generic command which prints its argument as emphasized text. This is a simple wrapper around the standard \cmd{emph} command. Apart from that, it uses \cmd{setpunctfont} from \secref{aut:pct:new} to adapt the font of the next punctuation mark following the text set in italics. If the \opt{punctfont} package option is disabled, this command behaves like \cmd{emph}.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibitalic}{text}
+
+Similar in concept to \cmd{mkbibemph} but prints italicized text. This is a simple wrapper around the standard \cmd{textit} command which incorporates \cmd{setpunctfont}. If the \opt{punctfont} package option is disabled, this command behaves like \cmd{textit}.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibbold}{text}
+
+Similar in concept to \cmd{mkbibemph} but prints bold text. This is a simple wrapper around the standard \cmd{textbf} command which incorporates \cmd{setpunctfont}. If the \opt{punctfont} package option is disabled, this command behaves like \cmd{textbf}.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibquote}{text}
+
+A generic command which wraps its argument in quotation marks. If the \sty{csquotes} package is loaded, this command uses the language sensitive quotation marks provided by that package. \cmd{mkbibquote} also supports <American-style> punctuation, see \cmd{DeclareQuotePunctuation} in \secref{aut:pct:cfg} for details.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibparens}{text}
+
+A generic command which wraps its argument in parentheses. This command is nestable. When nested, it will alternate between parentheses and brackets, depending on the nesting level.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibbrackets}{text}
+
+A generic command which wraps its argument in square brackets. This command is nestable. When nested, it will alternate between brackets and parentheses, depending on the nesting level.
+
+\cmditem{bibopenparen}<text>|{\ltxsyntaxlabelfont\cmd{bibcloseparen}}|
+
+Alternative syntax for \cmd{mkbibparens}. This will also work across groups. Note that \cmd{bibopenparen} and \cmd{bibcloseparen} must always be balanced.
+
+\cmditem{bibopenbracket}<text>|{\ltxsyntaxlabelfont\cmd{bibclosebracket}}|
+
+Alternative syntax for \cmd{mkbibbrackets}. This will also work across groups. Note that \cmd{bibopenbracket} and \cmd{bibclosebracket} must always be balanced.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibfootnote}{text}
+
+A generic command which prints its argument as a footnote. This is a wrapper around the standard \latex \cmd{footnote} command which removes spurious whitespace preceding the footnote mark and prevents nested footnotes. By default, \cmd{mkbibfootnote} requests capitalization at the beginning of the note and automatically adds a period at the end. You may change this behavior by redefining the \cmd{bibfootnotewrapper} macro introduced below.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibfootnotetext}{text}
+
+Similar to \cmd{mkbibfootnote} but uses the \cmd{footnotetext} command.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibendnote}{text}
+
+Similar in concept to \cmd{mkbibfootnote} except that it prints its argument as an endnote. \cmd{mkbibendnote} removes spurious whitespace preceding the endnote mark and prevents nested notes. It supports the \cmd{endnote} command provided by the \sty{endnotes} package as well as the \cmd{pagenote} command provided by the \sty{pagenote} package and the \sty{memoir} class. If both commands are available, \cmd{endnote} takes precedence. If no endnote support is available, \cmd{mkbibendnote} issues an error and falls back to \cmd{footnote}. By default, \cmd{mkbibendnote} requests capitalization at the beginning of the note and automatically adds a period at the end. You may change this behavior by redefining the \cmd{bibendnotewrapper} macro introduced below.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibendnotetext}{text}
+
+Similar to \cmd{mkbibendnote} but uses the \cmd{endnotetext} command. Please note that as of this writing, neither the \sty{pagenote} package nor the \sty{memoir} class provide a corresponding \cmd{pagenotetext} command. In this case, \cmd{mkbibendnote} will issue an error and fall back to \cmd{footnotetext}.
+
+\cmditem{bibfootnotewrapper}{text}
+
+An inner wrapper which encloses the \prm{text} argument of \cmd{mkbibfootnote} and \cmd{mkbibfootnotetext}. For example, \cmd{mkbibfootnote} eventually boils down to this:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\footnote{<<\bibfootnotewrapper{>>text<<}>>}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The wrapper ensures capitalization at the beginning of the note and adds a period at the end. The default definition is:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\newcommand{\bibfootnotewrapper}[1]{<<\bibsentence>> #1<<\addperiod>>}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+If you don't want capitalization at the beginning or a period at the end of the note, do not modify \cmd{mkbibfootnote} but redefine \cmd{bibfootnotewrapper} instead.
+
+\cmditem{bibendnotewrapper}{text}
+
+Similar in concept to \cmd{bibfootnotewrapper} but related to the \cmd{mkbibendnote} and \cmd{mkbibendnotetext} commands.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibsuperscript}{text}
+
+A generic command which prints its argument as superscripted text. This is a simple wrapper around the standard \latex \cmd{textsuperscript} command which removes spurious whitespace and allows hyphenation of the preceding word.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibmonth}{integer}
+
+This command takes an integer argument and prints it as a month name. Even though the output of this command is language specific, its definition is not, hence it is normally not redefined in localisation modules.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibyeardivision}{string}\DeprecatedMark
+
+This command takes a year division localisation string and prints the version of the string corresponding to the setting of the \opt{dateabbrev} package option. Even though the output of this command is language specific, its definition is not, hence it is normally not redefined in localisation modules.
+
+\cmditem{mkbibseason}{string}\DeprecatedMark
+
+This command takes a season localisation string and prints the version of the string corresponding to the setting of the \opt{dateabbrev} package option. Even though the output of this command is language specific, its definition is not, hence it is normally not redefined in localisation modules.
+
+\cmditem{mkyearzeros}{integer}
+
+This command strips leading zeros from a year or enforces them, depending on the \opt{datezeros} package option (\secref{use:opt:pre:gen}). It is intended for use in the definition of date formatting macros. If zeros are enforced, this command calls \cmd{forcezerosy} and thus expands its argument with \cmd{protected at edef}.
+
+\cmditem{mkmonthzeros}{integer}
+
+This command strips leading zeros from a month or enforces them, depending on the \opt{datezeros} package option (\secref{use:opt:pre:gen}). It is intended for use in the definition of date formatting macros. If zeros are enforced, this command calls \cmd{forcezerosmdt} and thus expands its argument with \cmd{protected at edef}.
+
+\cmditem{mkdayzeros}{integer}
+
+This command strips leading zeros from a day or enforces them, depending on the \opt{datezeros} package option (\secref{use:opt:pre:gen}). It is intended for use in the definition of date formatting macros. If zeros are enforced, this command calls \cmd{forcezerosmdt} and thus expands its argument with \cmd{protected at edef}.
+
+\cmditem{mktimezeros}{integer}
+
+This command strips leading zeros from a number or preserves them, depending on the \opt{timezeros} package option (\secref{use:opt:pre:gen}). It is intended for use in the definition of time formatting macros. If zeros are enforced, this command calls \cmd{forcezerosmdt} and thus expands its argument with \cmd{protected at edef}.
+
+\cmditem{forcezerosy}{integer}
+
+This command adds zeros to a year (or any number supposed to be 4-digits). It is intended for date formatting and ordinals. The argument is expanded with \cmd{protected at edef} before it is processed.
+
+\cmditem{forcezerosmdt}{integer}
+
+This command adds zeros to a month, day or time part (or any number supposed to be 2-digits). It is intended for date/time formatting and ordinals. The argument is expanded with \cmd{protected at edef} before it is processed.
+
+\cmditem{stripzeros}{integer}
+
+This command strips leading zeros from a number. It is intended for date formatting and ordinals.
+
+\optitem{$<$labelfield$>$width}
+
+For every field marked as a <Label field> in the data model, a formatting directive is created as per \texttt{shorthandwidth} above. Since \bibfield{shorthand} is so marked in the default data model, this functionality is a superset of that described for \texttt{shorthandwidth}.
+
+\optitem{labelnumberwidth}
+
+Similar to \texttt{shorthandwidth}, but referring to the \bibfield{labelnumber} field and the length register \cmd{labelnumberwidth}. Numeric styles should adjust this directive such that it corresponds to the format used in the bibliography.
+
+\optitem{labelalphawidth}
+
+Similar to \texttt{shorthandwidth}, but referring to the \bibfield{labelalpha} field and the length register \cmd{labelalphawidth}. Alphabetic styles should adjust this directive such that it corresponds to the format used in the bibliography.
+
+\optitem{bibhyperref}
+
+A special formatting directive for use with \cmd{printfield} and \cmd{printtext}. This directive wraps its argument in a \cmd{bibhyperref} command, see \secref{aut:aux:msc} for details.
+
+\optitem{bibhyperlink}
+
+A special formatting directive for use with \cmd{printfield} and \cmd{printtext}. It wraps its argument in a \cmd{bibhyperlink} command, see \secref{aut:aux:msc} for details. The \prm{name} argument passed to \cmd{bibhyperlink} is the value of the \bibfield{entrykey} field.
+
+\optitem{bibhypertarget}
+
+A special formatting directive for use with \cmd{printfield} and \cmd{printtext}. It wraps its argument in a \cmd{bibhypertarget} command, see \secref{aut:aux:msc} for details. The \prm{name} argument passed to \cmd{bibhypertarget} is the value of the \bibfield{entrykey} field.
+
+\optitem{volcitepages}
+
+A special formatting directive which controls the format of the page\slash text portion in the argument of citation commands like \cmd{volcite}.
+
+\optitem{volcitevolume}
+
+A special formatting directive which controls the format of the volume portion in the argument of citation commands like \cmd{volcite}.
+
+\optitem{date}
+
+A special formatting directive which controls the format of \cmd{printdate} (\secref{aut:bib:dat}). Note that the date format (long/short etc.) is controlled by the package option \opt{date} from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}. This formatting directive only controls additional formatting such as fonts etc.
+
+\optitem{labeldate}
+
+As \texttt{date} but controls the format of \cmd{printlabeldate}.
+
+\optitem{$<$datetype$>$date}
+
+As \texttt{date} but controls the format of \cmd{print$<$datetype$>$date}.
+
+\optitem{time}
+
+A special formatting directive which controls the format of \cmd{printtime} (\secref{aut:bib:dat}). Note that the time format (24h/12h etc.) is controlled by the package option \opt{time} from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}. This formatting directive only controls additional formatting such as fonts etc.
+
+\optitem{labeltime}
+
+As \texttt{time} but controls the format of \cmd{printlabeltime}.
+
+\optitem{$<$datetype$>$time}
+
+As \texttt{time} but controls the format of \cmd{print$<$datetype$>$time}.
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\subsubsection{Auxiliary Lengths, Counters, and Other Features}
+\label{aut:fmt:ilc}
+
+The length registers and counters discussed here are used by \biblatex to pass information to bibliography and citation styles. Think of them as read"=only registers. Note that all counters are \latex counters. Use |\value{counter}| to read out the current value.
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\lenitem{$<$labelfield$>$width}
+
+For every field marked as a <label> field in the data model, a length register is created as per \texttt{shorthandwidth} above. Since \bibfield{shorthand} is so marked in the default data model, this functionality is a superset of that described for \texttt{shorthandwidth}.
+
+\lenitem{labelnumberwidth}
+
+This length register indicates the width of the widest \bibfield{labelnumber}. Numeric bibliography styles
+should incorporate this length in the definition of the bibliography environment.
+
+\lenitem{labelalphawidth}
+
+This length register indicates the width of the widest \bibfield{labelalpha}. Alphabetic bibliography styles should incorporate this length in the definition of the bibliography environment.
+
+\cntitem{maxextraalpha}
+
+This counter holds the highest number found in any \bibfield{extraalpha} field.
+
+\cntitem{maxextradate}
+
+This counter holds the highest number found in any \bibfield{extradate} field.
+
+\cntitem{maxextraname}
+
+This counter holds the highest number found in any \bibfield{extraname} field.
+
+\cntitem{maxextratitle}
+
+This counter holds the highest number found in any \bibfield{extratitle} field.
+
+\cntitem{maxextratitleyear}
+
+This counter holds the highest number found in any \bibfield{extratitleyear} field.
+
+\cntitem{refsection}
+
+This counter indicates the current \env{refsection} environment. When queried in a bibliography heading, the counter returns the value of the \opt{refsection} option passed to \cmd{printbibliography}.
+
+\cntitem{refsegment}
+
+This counter indicates the current \env{refsegment} environment. When queried in a bibliography heading, this counter returns the value of the \opt{refsegment} option passed to \cmd{printbibliography}.
+
+\cntitem{maxnames}
+
+This counter holds the setting of the \opt{maxnames} package option.
+
+\cntitem{minnames}
+
+This counter holds the setting of the \opt{minnames} package option.
+
+\cntitem{maxitems}
+
+This counter holds the setting of the \opt{maxitems} package option.
+
+\cntitem{minitems}
+
+This counter holds the setting of the \opt{minitems} package option.
+
+\cntitem{instcount}
+
+This counter is incremented by \biblatex for every citation as well as for every entry in the bibliography and bibliography lists. The value of this counter uniquely identifies a single instance of a reference in the document.
+
+\cntitem{citetotal}
+
+This counter, which is only available in the \prm{loopcode} of a citation command defined with \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand}, holds the total number of valid entry keys passed to the citation command.
+
+\cntitem{citecount}
+
+This counter, which is only available in the \prm{loopcode} of a citation command defined with \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand}, holds the number of the entry key currently being processed by the \prm{loopcode}.
+
+\cntitem{multicitetotal}
+
+This counter is similar to \cnt{citetotal} but only available in multicite commands. It holds the total number of citations passed to the multicite command. Note that each of these citations may consist of more than one entry key. This information is provided by the \cnt{citetotal} counter.
+
+\cntitem{multicitecount}
+
+This counter is similar to \cnt{citecount} but only available in multicite commands. It holds the number of the citation currently being processed. Note that this citation may consist of more than one entry key. This information is provided by the \cnt{citetotal} and \cnt{citecount} counters.
+
+\cntitem{listtotal}
+
+This counter holds the total number of items in the current list. It is intended for use in list formatting directives and does not hold a meaningful value when used anywhere else. As an exception, it may also be used in the second optional argument to \cmd{printnames} and \cmd{printlist}, see \secref{aut:bib:dat} for details. For every list, there is also a counter by the same name which holds the total number of items in the corresponding list. For example, the \cnt{author} counter holds the total number of items in the \bibfield{author} list. This applies to both name lists and literal lists. These counters are similar to \cnt{listtotal} except that they may also be used independently of list formatting directives. For example, a bibliography style might check the \cnt{editor} counter to decide Whether or not to print the term «editor» or rather its plural form «editors» after the list of editors.
+
+\cntitem{listcount}
+
+This counter holds the number of the list item currently being processed. It is intended for use in list formatting directives and does not hold a meaningful value when used anywhere else.
+
+\cntitem{liststart}
+
+This counter holds the \prm{start} argument passed to \cmd{printnames} or \cmd{printlist}. It is intended for use in list formatting directives and does not hold a meaningful value when used anywhere else.
+
+\cntitem{liststop}
+
+This counter holds the \prm{stop} argument passed to \cmd{printnames} or \cmd{printlist}. It is intended for use in list formatting directives and does not hold a meaningful value when used anywhere else.
+
+\csitem{currentlang}
+
+The name of the currently active language for \biblatex. Can be used anywhere and
+defaults to the main document language. This is automatically switched
+inside entries which define \bibfield{langid}, given suitable settings of the
+\opt{autolang} and \opt{language} options. Note that this does not track
+all document language changes, only the current \biblatex\ setting.
+
+\csitem{currentfield}
+
+The name of the field currently being processed by \cmd{printfield}. This information is only available locally in field formatting directives.
+
+\csitem{currentlist}
+
+The name of the literal list currently being processed by \cmd{printlist}. This information is only available locally in list formatting directives.
+
+\csitem{currentname}
+
+The name of the name list currently being processed by \cmd{printnames}. This information is only available locally in name formatting directives.
+
+\csitem{currentmsform}
+
+Contains the multiscript form of the entry field. This information is only available locally in name formatting directives. It is empty for non-multiscript fields.
+
+\csitem{currentmslang}
+
+Contains the multiscript BCPP47 language tag of the entry field. This information is only available locally in name formatting directives. It is empty for non-multiscript fields.
+
+\csitem{currentmsforms}
+
+An \sty{etoolbox} list of all defined multiscript forms of the current entryfield. This information is only available locally in name formatting directives. It is empty for non-multiscript fields.
+
+\csitem{currentmslangs}

+
+\cmditem{fieldmslangs}{entryfield}
+
+As \cmd{currentmslangs} but for entryfield \prm{entryfield}. It is intended for use in formatting directives and does not hold meaningful data when used anywhere else.

+
+\subsubsection{General Purpose Hooks}
+\label{aut:fmt:hok}
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{AtBeginRefsection}{code}
+
+Appends the \prm{code} to an internal hook executed at the beginning of every reference section. The \prm{code} is executed just after setting the reference section number. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{AtBeginBibliography}{code}
+
+Appends the \prm{code} to an internal hook executed at the beginning of the bibliography. The \prm{code} is executed at the beginning of the list of references, immediately after the \prm{begin code} of \cmd{defbibenvironment}. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{AtBeginShorthands}{code}
+
+Appends the \prm{code} to an internal hook executed at the beginning of the list of shorthands. The \prm{code} is executed at the beginning of the list of shorthands, immediately after the \prm{begin code} of \cmd{defbibenvironment}. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+This is just an alias for:

+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{AtBeginBiblist}{biblistname}{code}
+
+Appends the \prm{code} to an internal hook executed at the beginning of the bibliography list \prm{biblistname}. The \prm{code} is executed at the beginning of the bibliography list, immediately after the \prm{begin code} of \cmd{defbibenvironment}. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{AtEveryBibitem}{code}
+
+Appends the \prm{code} to an internal hook executed at the beginning of every item in the bibliography. The \prm{code} is executed immediately after the \prm{item code} of \cmd{defbibenvironment}. The bibliographic data of the respective entry is available at this point. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{AtEveryLositem}{code}
+
+Appends the \prm{code} to an internal hook executed at the beginning of every item in the list of shorthands. The \prm{code} is executed immediately after the \prm{item code} of \cmd{defbibenvironment}. The bibliographic data of the respective entry is available at this point. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+This is just an alias for:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\AtEveryBiblistitem{shorthand}{code}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{AtEveryBiblistitem}{biblistname}{code}
+
+Appends the \prm{code} to an internal hook executed at the beginning of every item in the bibliography list named \prm{biblistname}. The \prm{code} is executed immediately after the \prm{item code} of \cmd{defbibenvironment}. The bibliographic data of the respective entry is available at this point. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{AtNextBibliography}{code}
+
+Similar to \cmd{AtBeginBibliography} but only affecting the next \cmd{printbibliography}. The internal hook is cleared after being executed once. This command may be used in the document body.
+
+\cmditem{AtUsedriver}{code}
+\cmditem*{AtUsedriver}*{code}
+
+Appends the \prm{code} to an internal hook executed when initializing \cmd{usedriver}. The starred variant of the command clears the initialisation hook, so the defaults can be overwritten. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+The default setting is:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\AtUsedriver{%
+ \delimcontext{bib}%
+ \let\finentry\blx at finentry@usedrv
+ \let\newblock\relax
+ \let\abx at macro@bibindex\@empty
+ \let\abx at macro@pageref\@empty}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{AtEveryCite}{code}
+
+Appends the \prm{code} to an internal hook executed at the beginning of every citation command. The \prm{code} is executed immediately before the \prm{precode} of the command (see \secref{aut:cbx:cbx}). No bibliographic data is available at this point. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{AtEveryCitekey}{code}
+
+Appends the \prm{code} to an internal hook executed once for every entry key passed to a citation command. The \prm{code} is executed immediately before the \prm{loopcode} of the command (see \secref{aut:cbx:cbx}). The bibliographic data of the respective entry is available at this point. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{AtEveryMultiCite}{code}
+
+Appends the \prm{code} to an internal hook executed at the beginning of every multicite command. The \prm{code} is executed immediately before the \bibfield{multiprenote} field (\secref{aut:cbx:fld}) is printed. No bibliographic data is available at this point. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+
+\cmditem{AtNextCite}{code}
+
+Similar to \cmd{AtEveryCite} but only affecting the next citation command. The internal hook is cleared after being executed once. This command may be used in the document body.
+
+\cmditem{AtEachCitekey}{code}
+
+Similar to \cmd{AtEveryCitekey} but only affecting the current citation command. This command may be used in the document body. The \prm{code} is appended to the internal hook locally when located in a citation, as determined by \cmd{ifcitation}.
+
+\cmditem{AtNextCitekey}{code}
+
+Similar to \cmd{AtEveryCitekey} but only affecting the next entry key. The internal hook is cleared after being executed once. This command may be used in the document body.
+
+\cmditem{AtNextMultiCite}{code}
+
+Similar to \cmd{AtEveryMultiCite} but only affecting the next multicite command. The internal hook is cleared after being executed once. This command may be used in the document body.
+
+\cmditem{AtVolcite}{code}
+\cmditem*{AtVolcite}*{code}
+
+Appends the \prm{code} to an internal hook executed when initializing \cmd{volcite}. The starred variant of the command clears the initialisation hook, so the defaults can be overwritten. This command may only be used in the preamble.
+The default setting is:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\AtVolcite{%
+ \DeclareFieldAlias{postnote}{volcitenote}}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\cmditem{AtDataInput}[entrytype]{code}
+
+Appends the \prm{code} to an internal hook executed once for every entry as the bibliographic data is imported from the \file{bbl} file. The \prm{entrytype} is the entry type the \prm{code} applies to. If it applies to all entry types, omit the optional argument. The \prm{code} is executed immediately after the entry has been imported. This command may only be used in the preamble. Note that \prm{code} may be executed multiple times for an entry. This occurs when the same entry is cited in different \env{refsection} environments or the \opt{sorting} option settings incorporate more than one sorting template. The \cnt{refsection} counter holds the number of the respective reference section while the data is imported.
+
+\cmditem{UseBibitemHook}
+
+Executes the internal hook corresponding to \cmd{AtEveryBibitem}.
+
+\cmditem{UseUsedriverHook}
+
+Executes the internal hook corresponding to \cmd{AtUsedriver}.
+
+\cmditem{UseEveryCiteHook}
+
+Executes the internal hook corresponding to \cmd{AtEveryCite}.
+
+\cmditem{UseEveryCitekeyHook}
+
+Executes the internal hook corresponding to \cmd{AtEveryCitekey}.
+
+\cmditem{UseEveryMultiCiteHook}
+
+Executes the internal hook corresponding to \cmd{AtMultiEveryCite}.
+
+\cmditem{UseNextCiteHook}
+
+Executes and clears the internal hook corresponding to \cmd{AtNextCite}.
+
+\cmditem{UseNextCitekeyHook}
+
+Executes and clears the internal hook corresponding to \cmd{AtNextCitekey}.
+
+\cmditem{UseNextMultiCiteHook}
+
+Executes and clears the internal hook corresponding to \cmd{AtNextMultiCite}.
+
+\cmditem{UseVolciteHook}
+
+Executes the internal hook corresponding to \cmd{AtVolcite}.
+
+\cmditem{DeferNextCitekeyHook}
+
+Locally un-defines the internal hook specified by \cmd{AtNextCitekey}. This essentially defers the hook to the next entry key in the citation list, when executed in the \prm{precode} argument of \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand} (\secref{aut:cbx:cbx}).
+
+\cmditem{AtEveryEntrykey}{code}{success}{failure}
+
+Appends \prm{code} to an internal hook executed every time an entrykey is processed for a citation command or \cmd{nocite}. The \prm{code} is passed one argument (\lstinline{#1}), which contains the entrykey. If the code can be appended to the hook \prm{success} is executed, otherwise \prm{failure} is executed. Unlike \cmd{AtEveryCitekey} the entry data of the current entrykey is not available when \prm{code} is processed, indeed it is not even known whether or not there is any entry data at all.
+

+
+\subsubsection{File hooks}
+\label{aut:fmt:hok:fil}
+\biblatex has rudimentary support for injecting arbitrary code before and after a file is loaded via file hooks. For files that are loaded using \biblatex's file interface---that includes all bibliography and citation styles---the following three hooks are available
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+\cmditem{blx at filehook@preload@$<$filename with extension$>$}
+
+If \file{$<$filename with extension$>$} is found, this hook is exected before it is loaded.
+
+\cmditem{blx at filehook@postload@$<$filename with extension$>$}
+
+If \file{$<$filename with extension$>$} is found, this hook is exected after it is loaded.
+
+\cmditem{blx at filehook@failure@$<$filename with extension$>$}
+
+This hook is executed if \file{$<$filename with extension$>$} can not be found.
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+\biblatex generally only loads files once even if they were requested multiple times,
+so the hooks will only be executed once.
+Naturally, the file hooks need to be populated before the files are loaded, so the safest would be to populate them before \biblatex is loaded.
+It is advisable to only append code to avoid overwriting previous hook contents.
+Since the name of the file hook include the dot and the file extension they will usually have to be defined with a command like \cmd{csappto} from \sty{etoolbox}.
+
+The \file{.lbx} files are special and may have to be loaded several times in some situations.
+Their file hooks are
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+\cmditem{blx at lbxfilehook@once at preload@$<$filename with extension$>$}
+
+If \file{$<$filename with extension$>$} is found, this hook is exected before it is loaded in a situation where the \file{.lbx} files are loaded only once.
+
+\cmditem{blx at lbxfilehook@once at postload@$<$filename with extension$>$}
+
+If \file{$<$filename with extension$>$} is found, this hook is exected after it is loaded in a situation where the \file{.lbx} files are loaded only once.
+
+\cmditem{blx at lbxfilehook@once at failure@$<$filename with extension$>$}
+
+This hook is executed if \file{$<$filename with extension$>$} can not be found in a situation where the \file{.lbx} files are loaded only once.
+
+\cmditem{blx at lbxfilehook@simple at preload@$<$filename with extension$>$}
+
+If \file{$<$filename with extension$>$} is found, this hook is exected before it is loaded in a situation where the \file{.lbx} files may be loaded multiple times.
+
+\cmditem{blx at lbxfilehook@simple at postload@$<$filename with extension$>$}
+
+If \file{$<$filename with extension$>$} is found, this hook is exected after it is loaded in a situation where the \file{.lbx} files may be loaded multiple times.
+
+\cmditem{blx at lbxfilehook@simple at failure@$<$filename with extension$>$}
+
+This hook is executed if \file{$<$filename with extension$>$} can not be found in a situation where the \file{.lbx} files may be loaded multiple times.
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+
+The following code sets up \sty{beamer} to print the bibliography labels instead of its bibliography icons when \file{numeric.bbx} after is loaded
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\csappto{blx at filehook@postload at numeric.bbx}{%
+ \mode<presentation>{%
+ \setbeamertemplate{bibliography item}{%
+ \insertbiblabel}}}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+
+\subsection{Hints and Caveats}
+\label{aut:cav}
+
+This section provides some additional hints concerning the author interface of this package. It also addresses common problems and potential misconceptions.
+
+\subsubsection{Entry Sets}
+\label{aut:cav:set}
+
+Entry sets have already been introduced in \secref{use:use:set}. This section discusses how to process entry sets in a bibliography style. From the perspective of the driver, there is no difference between static and dynamic entry sets. Both types are handled in the same way. You will normally use the \cmd{entryset} command from \secref{aut:bib:dat} to loop over all set members (in the order in which they are listed in the \bibfield{entryset} field of the \bibtype{set} entry, or in the order in which they were passed to \cmd{defbibentryset}, respectively) and append \cmd{finentry} at the end. That's it. The formatting is handled by the drivers for the entry types of the individual set members:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareBibliographyDriver{set}{%
+ <<\entryset>>{}{}%
+ \finentry}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+You may have noticed that the \texttt{numeric} styles which come with this package support subdivided entry sets, \ie the members of the set are marked with a letter or some other marker such that citations may either refer to the entire set or to a specific set member. The markers are generated as follows by the bibliography style:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareBibliographyDriver{set}{%
+ \entryset
+ {<<\printfield{entrysetcount}>>%
+ <<\setunit*{\addnbspace}>>}
+ {}%
+ \finentry}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The \bibfield{entrysetcount} field holds an integer indicating the position of a set member in the entry set. The conversion of this number to a letter or some other marker is handled by the formatting directive of the \bibfield{entrysetcount} field. All the driver needs to do is print the field and add some white space (or start a new line). Printing the markers in citations works in a similar way. Where a numeric style normally says |\printfield{labelnumber}|, you simply append the \bibfield{entrysetcount} field:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\printfield{labelnumber}<<\printfield{entrysetcount}>>
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Since this field is only defined when processing citations referring to a set member, there is no need to add any additional tests.
+
+Citing entry sets directly requires that a meaningful way of identifying sets is available in the style. This is obvious for styles based on numeric or alphabetic labels but not obvious (and rarely required) in styles which construct citations based on textual names/titles/dates etc. The default provided styles which no not construct citations based on labels (\texttt{authoryear}, \texttt{authortitle}, \texttt{verbose} etc.) therefore do not support citing sets directly as there is no obvious default identifier to use in such cases and such styles rarely, if ever, employ sets anyway. Custom styles may of course choose to define and print a citation identifier for directly cited sets.
+
+\subsubsection{Electronic Publishing Information}
+\label{aut:cav:epr}
+
+The standard styles feature dedicated support for arXiv references. Support for other resources is easily added. The standard styles handle the \bibfield{eprint} field as follows:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\iffieldundef{eprinttype}
+ {\printfield{eprint}}
+ {\printfield[<<eprint:\strfield{eprinttype}>>]{eprint}}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+If an \bibfield{eprinttype} field is available, the above code tries to use the field format \texttt{eprint:\prm{eprinttype}}. If this format is undefined, \cmd{printfield} automatically falls back to the field format \texttt{eprint}. There are two predefined field formats, the type"=specific format \texttt{eprint:arxiv} and the fallback format \texttt{eprint}:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareFieldFormat{<<eprint>>}{...}
+\DeclareFieldFormat{<<eprint:arxiv>>}{...}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+In other words, adding support for additional resources is as easy as defining a field format named \texttt{eprint:\prm{resource}} where \prm{resource} is an identifier to be used in the \bibfield{eprinttype} field.
+
+\subsubsection{External Abstracts and Annotations}
+\label{aut:cav:prf}
+
+External abstracts and annotations have been discussed in \secref{use:use:prf}. This section provides some more background for style authors. The standard styles use the following macros (from \path{biblatex.def}) to handle abstracts and annotations:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\newbibmacro*{annotation}{%
+ \iffieldundef{annotation}
+ {\printfile[annotation]{<<\bibannotationprefix\thefield{entrykey}.tex>>}}%
+ {\printfield{annotation}}}
+\newcommand*{<<\bibannotationprefix>>}{bibannotation-}
+
+\newbibmacro*{abstract}{%
+ \iffieldundef{abstract}
+ {\printfile[abstract]{<<\bibabstractprefix\thefield{entrykey}.tex>>}}%
+ {\printfield{abstract}}}
+\newcommand*{<<\bibabstractprefix>>}{bibabstract-}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+If the \bibfield{abstract}\slash \bibfield{annotation} field is undefined, the above code tries to load the abstracts\slash annotations from an external file. The \cmd{printfile} commands also incorporate file name prefixes which may be redefined by users. Note that you must enable \cmd{printfile} explicitly by setting the \opt{loadfiles} package option from \secref{use:opt:pre:gen}. This feature is disabled by default for performance reasons.
+
+\subsubsection[Name Disambiguation]{Name Disambiguation}
+\label{aut:cav:amb}
+
+The \opt{uniquename} and \opt{uniquelist} options introduced in \secref{use:opt:pre:int} support various modes of operation. This section explains the differences between these modes by way of example. The \opt{uniquename} option disambiguates individual names in the \bibfield{labelname} list. The \opt{uniquelist} option disambiguates the \bibfield{labelname} list if it has become ambiguous after \opt{maxnames}\slash \opt{minnames} truncation. You can use either option stand-alone or combine both.
+
+Name disambiguation works by taking a <base> which is composed of one or more nameparts and then determining what needs to be added, if anything, to this <base> to make the name unique in the current refsection. Name disambiguation is controlled by the uniquename template declared with the following command:
+
+\begin{ltxsyntax}
+
+\cmditem{DeclareUniquenameTemplate}[name]{specification}
+
+Defines the \opt{uniquename} template \prm{name}. The \prm{name} is optional and defaults to \prm{<global>}.
+
+The \prm{specification} is an ordered list of \cmd{namepart} commands which define the nameparts to use in determining the uniquename information.
+
+\cmditem{namepart}[options]{namepart}
+
+\prm{namepart} is one of the datamodel nameparts defined with the \cmd{DeclareDatamodelConstant} command (see \secref{aut:bbx:drv}). The \prm{options} are:
+
+\begin{optionlist*}
+
+\boolitem[false]{use}
+
+Only use the \prm{namepart} in constructing the uniquename information if there is a corresponding option \opt{use<namepart>} and that option is true.
+
+\boolitem[false]{base}
+
+The \prm{namepart} is part of the <base> which is the main piece of namepart(s) information which is being disambiguated by uniqueness information. For example, a family name which may be disambiguated by further given names. <base> \prm{namepart}s must occur before any non-<base> \prm{nameparts}. There \emph{must} be at least one <base> \prm{namepart} and \biber will report an error if this is not the case.
+
+\choitem{disambiguation}{none, init, initorfull, full}
+
+The \prm{namepart} will be disambiguated at most by information at the given value. If this option is not present then the default is inferred from the \opt{uniquename} package option setting (see \secref{use:opt:wu}). The <disambiguation> option is ignored for \prm{namepart}s which have the <base> option set to <true> since it is these nameparts which are being disambiguated by the value of the non-base \prm{namepart}s and therefore <disambiguation> does not apply.
+
+\begin{description}
+\item[none]~Do not use the \prm{namepart} to perform any name disambiguation
+\item[init]~Use only the initials of the \prm{namepart} to perform name disambiguation
+\item[initorfull]~Use initials and if necessary the full \prm{namepart} to perform name disambiguation
+\item[full]~Use only the full \prm{namepart} to perform name
+ disambiguation even if initials would suffice
+\end{description}
+
+\end{optionlist*}
+
+\end{ltxsyntax}
+%
+The default uniquename template is:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareUniquenameTemplate{
+ \namepart[use=true, base=true]{prefix}
+ \namepart[base=true]{family}
+ \namepart{given}
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This means that the <base> to be disambiguated consists of the <family> namepart, along with any prefix, if the \opt{useprefix} option is true. The disambiguation is performed by adding anything up to the full namepart of any non <base> nameparts in the specification, here just the <given> namepart.
+
+\paragraph{Individual Names (\opt{uniquename})}
+
+Let's start off with some \opt{uniquename} examples. Consider the following data:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+John Doe 2008
+Edward Doe 2008
+John Smith 2008
+Jane Smith 2008
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Let's assume we're using an author-year style and set \kvopt{uniquename}{false}. In this case, we would get the following citations:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Doe 2008a
+Doe 2008b
+Smith 2008a
+Smith 2008b
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Since the family names are ambiguous and all works have been published in the same year, an extra letter is appended to the year to disambiguate the citations. Many style guides, however, mandate that the extra letter be used to disambiguate works by the same authors only, not works by different authors with the same family name. In order to disambiguate the author's family name, you are expected to add additional parts of the name, either as initials or in full. This requirement is addressed by the \opt{uniquename} option. Here are the same citations with \kvopt{uniquename}{init}:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+J. Doe 2008
+E. Doe 2008
+Smith 2008a
+Smith 2008b
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+\kvopt{uniquename}{init} restricts name disambiguation to initials. Since <J. Smith> would still be ambiguous, no additional name parts are added for the <Smiths>. With \kvopt{uniquename}{full}, names are printed in full where required:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+J. Doe 2008
+E. Doe 2008
+John Smith 2008
+Jane Smith 2008
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+In order to illustrate the difference between \kvopt{uniquename}{init\slash full} and \texttt{allinit\slash allfull}, we need to introduce the notion of a <visible> name. In the following, <visible> names are all names at a position before the \opt{maxnames}\slash \opt{minnames}\slash \opt{uniquelist} truncation point. For example, given this data:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+William Jones/Edward Doe/Jane Smith
+John Doe
+John Smith
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+and \kvopt{maxnames}{1}, \kvopt{minnames}{1}, \kvopt{uniquename}{init/full}, we would get the following names in citations:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Jones et al.
+Doe
+Smith
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+When disambiguating names, \kvopt{uniquename}{init/full} only consider the visible names. Since all visible family names are distinct in this example, no further name parts are added. Let's compare that to the output of \kvopt{uniquename}{allinit}:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Jones et al.
+J. Doe
+Smith
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+\texttt{allinit} considers all names in all \bibfield{labelname} lists, including those which are hidden and replaced by <et al.> as the list is truncated. In this example, <John Doe> is disambiguated from <Edward Doe>. Since the ambiguity of the two <Smiths> can't be resolved by adding initials, no initials are added in this case. Now let's compare that to the output of \kvopt{uniquename}{allfull} which also disambiguates <John Smith> from <Jane Smith>:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Jones et al.
+J. Doe
+John Smith
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+The options \kvopt{uniquename}{mininit/minfull} are similar to \texttt{init\slash full} in that they only consider visible names, but they perform minimal disambiguation. That is, they will disambiguate individual names only if they occur in identical lists of base nameparts (for the concept of <base> nameparts, see \cmd{DeclareUniquenameTemplate in \secref{aut:cav:amb}}). Consider the following data:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+John Doe/William Jones
+Edward Doe/William Jones
+John Smith/William Edwards
+Edward Smith/Allan Johnson
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+With \kvopt{uniquename}{init/full}, we would get:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+J. Doe and Jones
+E. Doe and Jones
+J. Smith and Edwards
+E. Smith and Johnson
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+With \kvopt{uniquename}{mininit/minfull}:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+J. Doe and Jones
+E. Doe and Jones
+Smith and Edwards
+Smith and Johnson
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+The <Smiths> are not disambiguated because the visible name lists are not ambiguous and the \opt{mininit/minfull} options serve to disambiguate names occurring in identical base namepart lists only. Another way of looking at this is that they globally disambiguate base namepart lists. When it comes to ambiguous lists, note that a truncated list is considered to be distinct from an untruncated one even if the visible names are identical. For example, consider the following data:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+John Doe/William Jones
+Edward Doe
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+With \kvopt{maxnames}{1}, \kvopt{uniquename}{init/full}, we would get:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+J. Doe et al.
+E. Doe
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+With \kvopt{uniquename}{mininit/minfull}:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Doe et al.
+Doe
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Because the lists differ in the <et al.>, the names are not disambiguated.
+
+\paragraph{Lists of Names (\opt{uniquelist})}
+
+Ambiguity is also an issue with name lists. If the \bibfield{labelname} list is truncated by the \opt{maxnames}\slash \opt{minnames} options, it may become ambiguous. This type of ambiguity is addressed by the \opt{uniquelist} option. Consider the following data:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Doe/Jones/Smith 2005
+Smith/Johnson/Doe 2005
+Smith/Doe/Edwards 2005
+Smith/Doe/Jones 2005
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Many author-year styles truncate long author/editor lists in citations. For example, with \kvopt{maxnames}{1} we would get:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Doe et al. 2005
+Smith et al. 2005a
+Smith et al. 2005b
+Smith et al. 2005c
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Since the authors are ambiguous after truncation, the extra letter is added to the year to ensure unique citations. Here again, many style guides mandate that the extra letter be used to disambiguate works by the same authors only. In order to disambiguate author lists, you are usually required to add more names, exceeding the \opt{maxnames}\slash \opt{minnames} truncation point. The \opt{uniquelist} feature addresses this requirement. With \kvopt{uniquelist}{true}, we would get:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Doe et al. 2005
+Smith, Johnson et al. 2005
+Smith, Doe and Edwards 2005
+Smith, Doe and Jones 2005
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+The \opt{uniquelist} option overrides \opt{maxnames}\slash \opt{minnames} on a per-entry basis. Essentially, what happens is that the <et al.> part of the citation is expanded to the point of no ambiguity---but no further than that. \opt{uniquelist} may also be combined with \opt{uniquename}. Consider the following data:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+John Doe/Allan Johnson/William Jones 2009
+John Doe/Edward Johnson/William Jones 2009
+John Doe/Jane Smith/William Jones 2009
+John Doe/John Smith/William Jones 2009
+John Doe/John Edwards/William Jones 2009
+John Doe/John Edwards/Jack Johnson 2009
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+With \kvopt{maxnames}{1}:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Doe et al. 2009a
+Doe et al. 2009b
+Doe et al. 2009c
+Doe et al. 2009d
+Doe et al. 2009e
+Doe et al. 2009f
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+With \kvopt{maxnames}{1}, \kvopt{uniquename}{full}, \kvopt{uniquelist}{true}:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Doe, A. Johnson et al. 2009
+Doe, E. Johnson et al. 2009
+Doe, Jane Smith et al. 2009
+Doe, John Smith et al. 2009
+Doe, Edwards and Jones 2009
+Doe, Edwards and Johnson 2009
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+With \kvopt{uniquelist}{minyear}, list disambiguation only happens if the visible list is identical to another visible list with the same \bibfield{labelyear}. This is useful for author-year styles which only require that the citation as a whole be unique, but do not guarantee unambiguous authorship information in citations. This mode is conceptually related to \kvopt{uniquename}{mininit/minfull}. Consider this example:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Smith/Jones 2000
+Smith/Johnson 2001
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+With \kvopt{maxnames}{1} and \kvopt{uniquelist}{true}, we would get:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Smith and Jones 2000
+Smith and Johnson 2001
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+With \kvopt{uniquelist}{minyear}:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Smith et al. 2000
+Smith et al. 2001
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+With \kvopt{uniquelist}{minyear}, it is not clear that the authors are different for the two works but the citations as a whole are still unambiguous since the year is different. In contrast to that, \kvopt{uniquelist}{true} disambiguates the authorship even if this information is not required to uniquely locate the works in the bibliography. Let's consider another example:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Vogel/Beast/Garble/Rook 2000
+Vogel/Beast/Tremble/Bite 2000
+Vogel/Beast/Acid/Squeeze 2001
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+With \kvopt{maxnames}{3}, \kvopt{minnames}{1}, \kvopt{uniquelist}{true}, we would get:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Vogel, Beast, Garble et al. 2000
+Vogel, Beast, Tremble et al. 2000
+Vogel, Beast, Acid et al. 2001
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+With \kvopt{uniquelist}{minyear}:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}{}
+Vogel, Beast, Garble et al. 2000
+Vogel, Beast, Tremble et al. 2000
+Vogel et al. 2001
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+In the last citation, \kvopt{uniquelist}{minyear} does not override \opt{maxnames}\slash \opt{minnames} as the citation does not need disambiguating from the other two because the year is different.
+
+\subsubsection{Trackers in Floats and \acr{TOC}/\acr{LOT}/\acr{LOF}}
+\label{aut:cav:flt}
+
+If a citation is given in a float (typically in the caption of a figure or table), scholarly back references like <ibidem> or back references based on the page tracker get ambiguous because floats are objects which are (physically and logically) placed outside the flow of text, hence the logic of such references applies poorly to them. To avoid any such ambiguities, the citation and page trackers are temporarily disabled in all floats unless explicitly requested with \opt{trackfloats}. In addition to that, these trackers plus the back reference tracker (\opt{backref}) are temporarily disabled in the table of contents, the list of figures, and the list of tables.
+
+\subsubsection{Mixing Programming Interfaces}
+\label{aut:cav:mif}
+
+The \biblatex package provides two main programming interfaces for style authors. The \cmd{DeclareBibliographyDriver} command, which defines a handler for an entry type, is typically used in \file{bbx} files. \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand}, which defines a new citation command, is typically used in \file{cbx} files. However, in some cases it is convenient to mix these two interfaces. For example, the \cmd{fullcite} command prints a verbose citation similar to the full bibliography entry. It is essentially defined as follows:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareCiteCommand{\fullcite}
+ {...}
+ {<<\usedriver>>{...}{<<\thefield{entrytype}>>}}
+ {...}
+ {...}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+As you can see, the core code which prints the citations simply executes the bibliography driver defined with \cmd{DeclareBibliographyDriver} for the type of the current entry. When writing a citation style for a verbose citation scheme, it is often convenient to use the following structure:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\ProvidesFile{example.cbx}[2007/06/09 v1.0 biblatex citation style]
+
+\DeclareCiteCommand{\cite}
+ {...}
+ {<<\usedriver>>{...}{<<cite:\thefield{entrytype}>>}}
+ {...}
+ {...}
+
+\DeclareBibliographyDriver{<<cite:article>>}{...}
+\DeclareBibliographyDriver{<<cite:book>>}{...}
+\DeclareBibliographyDriver{<<cite:inbook>>}{...}
+...
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Another case in which mixing interfaces is helpful are styles using cross"=references within the bibliography. For example, when printing an \bibtype{incollection} entry, the data inherited from the \bibtype{collection} parent entry would be replaced by a short pointer to the respective parent entry:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\renewcommand*\labelenumi{[\theenumi]}
+\setlength{\leftskip}{0.5em}
+\item Audrey Author: \emph{Title of article}. In: [\textln{2}], pp.~134--165.
+\item Edward Editor, ed.: \emph{Title of collection}. Publisher: Location, 1995.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+One way to implement such cross"=references within the bibliography is to think of them as citations which use the value of the \bibfield{xref} or \bibfield{crossref} field as the entry key. Here is an example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\ProvidesFile{example.bbx}[2007/06/09 v1.0 biblatex bibliography style]
+
+\DeclareCiteCommand{<<\bbx at xref>>}
+ {}
+ {...}% code for cross-references
+ {}
+ {}
+
+\DeclareBibliographyDriver{incollection}{%
+ ...
+ \iffieldundef{xref}
+ {...}% code if no cross-reference
+ {<<\bbx at xref>>{<<\thefield{xref}>>}}%
+ ...
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+When defining \cmd{bbx at xref}, the \prm{precode}, \prm{postcode}, and \prm{sepcode} arguments of \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand} are left empty in the above example because they will not be used anyway. The cross"=reference is printed by the \prm{loopcode} of \cmd{bbx at xref}. For further details on the \bibfield{xref} field, refer to \secref{bib:fld:spc} and to the hints in \secref{bib:cav:ref}. Also see the \cmd{iffieldxref}, \cmd{iflistxref}, and \cmd{ifnamexref} tests in \secref{aut:aux:tst}. The above could also be implemented using the \cmd{entrydata} command from \secref{aut:bib:dat}:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\ProvidesFile{example.bbx}[2007/06/09 v1.0 biblatex bibliography style]
+
+\DeclareBibliographyDriver{incollection}{%
+ ...
+ \iffieldundef{xref}
+ {...}% code if no cross-reference
+ {<<\entrydata>>{<<\thefield{xref}>>}{%
+ % code for cross-references
+ ...
+ }}%
+ ...
+}
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\subsubsection{Using the Punctuation Tracker}
+\label{aut:cav:pct}
+
+\paragraph{The Basics}
+
+There is one fundamental principle style authors should keep in mind when designing a bibliography driver: block and unit punctuation is handled asynchronously. This is best explained by way of example. Consider the following code snippet:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\printfield{title}%
+\newunit
+\printfield{edition}%
+\newunit
+\printfield{note}%
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+If there is no \bibfield{edition} field, this piece of code will not print:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=highlight]{}
+Title. . Note
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+but rather:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=highlight]{}
+Title. Note
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+because the unit punctuation tracker works asynchronously. \cmd{newunit} will not print the unit punctuation immediately. It merely records a unit boundary and puts \cmd{newunitpunct} on the punctuation buffer. This buffer will be handled by \emph{subsequent} \cmd{printfield}, \cmd{printlist}, or similar commands but only if the respective field or list is defined. Commands like \cmd{printfield} will consider three factors prior to inserting any block or unit punctuation:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Has a new unit/block been requested at all?\par
+= Is there any preceding \cmd{newunit} or \cmd{newblock} command?
+\item Did the preceding commands print anything?\par
+= Is there any preceding \cmd{printfield} or similar command?\par
+= Did this command actually print anything?\par
+\item Are we about to print anything now?\par
+= Is the field/list to be processed now defined?
+\end{itemize}
+%
+Block and unit punctuation will only be inserted if \emph{all} of these conditions apply. Let's reconsider the above example:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\printfield{title}%
+\newunit
+\printfield{edition}%
+\newunit
+\printfield{note}%
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Here's what happens if the \bibfield{edition} field is undefined. The first \cmd{printfield} command prints the title and sets an internal <new~text> flag. The first \cmd{newunit} sets an internal <new~unit> flag. No punctuation has been printed at this point. The second \cmd{printfield} does nothing because the \bibfield{edition} field is undefined. The next \cmd{newunit} command sets the internal flag <new unit> again. Still no punctuation has been printed. The third \cmd{printfield} checks if the \bibfield{note} field is defined. If so, it looks at the <new~text> and <new~unit> flags. If both are set, it inserts the punctuation buffer before printing the note. It then clears the <new~unit> flag and sets the <new~text> flag again.
+
+This may all sound more complicated than it is. In practice, it means that it is possible to write large parts of a bibliography driver in a sequential way. The advantage of this approach becomes obvious when trying to write the above code without using the punctuation tracker. Such an attempt will lead to a rather convoluted set of \cmd{iffieldundef} tests required to check for all possible field combinations (note that the code below handles three fields; a typical driver may need to cater for some two dozen fields):
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\iffieldundef{title}%
+ {\iffieldundef{edition}
+ {\printfield{note}}
+ {\printfield{edition}%
+ \iffieldundef{note}%
+ {}
+ {. \printfield{note}}}}
+ {\printfield{title}%
+ \iffieldundef{edition}
+ {}
+ {. \printfield{edition}}%
+ \iffieldundef{note}
+ {}
+ {. \printfield{note}}}%
+\end{ltxexample}
+
+\paragraph{Common Mistakes}
+
+It is a fairly common misconception to think of the unit punctuation as something that is handled synchronously. This typically causes problems if the driver includes any literal text. Consider this erroneous code snippet which will generate misplaced unit punctuation:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\printfield{title}%
+\newunit
+<<(>>\printfield{series} \printfield{number}<<)>>%
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This code will yield the following result:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=highlight]{}
+Title <<(.>> Series Number<<)>>
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Here's what happens. The first \cmd{printfield} prints the title. Then \cmd{newunit} marks a unit boundary but does not print anything. The unit punctuation is printed by the \emph{next} \cmd{printfield} command. That's the asynchronous part mentioned before. However, the opening parenthesis is printed immediately before the next \cmd{printfield} inserts the unit punctuation, leading to a misplaced period. When inserting \emph{any} literal text such as parentheses (including those printed by commands such as \cmd{bibopenparen} and \cmd{mkbibparens}), always wrap the text in a \cmd{printtext} command. For the punctuation tracker to work as expected, it needs to know about all literal text inserted by a driver. This is what \cmd{printtext} is all about. \cmd{printtext} interfaces with the punctuation tracker and ensures that the punctuation buffer is inserted before the literal text gets printed. It also sets the internal <new~text> flag. Note there is in fact a third piece of literal text in this example: the space after |\printfield{series}|. In the corrected example, we will use the punctuation tracker to handle that space.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\printfield{title}%
+\newunit
+<<\printtext{(}>>%
+\printfield{series}%
+<<\setunit*{\addspace}>>%
+\printfield{number}%
+<<\printtext{)}>>%
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+While the above code will work as expected, the recommended way to handle parentheses, quotes, and other things which enclose more than one field, is to define a field format:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareFieldFormat{<<parens>>}{<<\mkbibparens{#1}>>}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Field formats may be used with both \cmd{printfield} and \cmd{printtext}, hence we can use them to enclose several fields in a single pair of parentheses:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+<<\printtext[parens]{>>%
+ \printfield{series}%
+ \setunit*{\addspace}%
+ \printfield{number}%
+<<}>>%
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+We still need to handle cases in which there is no series information at all, so let's improve the code some more:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+<<\iffieldundef{series}>>
+ {}
+ {\printtext[parens]{%
+ \printfield{series}%
+ \setunit*{\addspace}%
+ \printfield{number}}}%
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+One final hint: localisation strings are not literal text as far as the punctuation tracker is concerned. Since \cmd{bibstring} and similar commands interface with the punctuation tracker, there is no need to wrap them in a \cmd{printtext} command.
+
+\paragraph{Advanced Usage}
+
+The punctuation tracker may also be used to handle more complex scenarios. For example, suppose that we want the fields \bibfield{location}, \bibfield{publisher}, and \bibfield{year} to be rendered in one of the following formats, depending on the available data:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+...text<<. Location: Publisher, Year.>> Text...
+...text<<. Location: Publisher.>> Text...
+...text<<. Location: Year.>> Text...
+...text<<. Publisher, Year.>> Text...
+...text<<. Location.>> Text...
+...text<<. Publisher.>> Text...
+...text<<. Year.>> Text...
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This problem can be solved with a rather convoluted set of \cmd{iflistundef} and \cmd{iffieldundef} tests which check for all possible field combinations:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\iflistundef{location}
+ {\iflistundef{publisher}
+ {\printfield{year}}
+ {\printlist{publisher}%
+ \iffieldundef{year}
+ {}
+ {, \printfield{year}}}}
+ {\printlist{location}%
+ \iflistundef{publisher}%
+ {\iffieldundef{year}
+ {}
+ {: \printfield{year}}}
+ {: \printlist{publisher}%
+ \iffieldundef{year}
+ {}
+ {, \printfield{year}}}}%
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+The above could be written in a somewhat more readable way by employing \cmd{ifthenelse} and the boolean operators discussed in \secref{aut:aux:ife}. The approach would still be essentially the same. However, it may also be written sequentially:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\newunit
+\printlist{location}%
+\setunit*{\addcolon\space}%
+\printlist{publisher}%
+\setunit*{\addcomma\space}%
+\printfield{year}%
+\newunit
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+In practice, you will often use a combination of explicit tests and the implicit tests performed by the punctuation tracker. For example, consider the following format (note the punctuation after the location if there is no publisher):
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+...text. Location: Publisher, Year. Text...
+...text. Location: Publisher. Text...
+...text<<. Location, Year.>> Text...
+...text. Publisher, Year. Text...
+...text. Location. Text...
+...text. Publisher. Text...
+...text. Year. Text...
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+This can be handled by the following code:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\newunit
+\printlist{location}%
+\iflistundef{publisher}
+ {\setunit*{\addcomma\space}}
+ {\setunit*{\addcolon\space}}%
+\printlist{publisher}%
+\setunit*{\addcomma\space}%
+\printfield{year}%
+\newunit
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Since the punctuation after the location is special if there is no publisher, we need one \cmd{iflistundef} test to catch this case. Everything else is handled by the punctuation tracker.
+
+\subsubsection{Custom Localization Modules}
+\label{aut:cav:lng}
+
+Style guides may include provisions as to how strings like <edition> should be abbreviated or they may mandate certain fixed expressions. For example, the \acr{mla} style guide requires authors to use the term <Works~Cited> rather than <Bibliography> or <References> in the heading of the bibliography. Localization commands such as \cmd{DefineBibliographyStrings} from \secref{use:lng} may indeed be used in \file{cbx} and \file{bbx} files to handle such cases. However, overloading style files with translations is rather inconvenient. This is where \cmd{DeclareLanguageMapping} from \secref{aut:lng:cmd} comes into play. This command maps an \file{lbx} file with alternative translations to a \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} language. For example, you could create a file named \path{french-humanities.lbx} which provides French translations adapted for use in the humanities and map it to the \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} language \texttt{french} in the preamble or in the configuration file:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareLanguageMapping{french}{french-humanities}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+If the document language is set to \texttt{french}, \path{french-humanities.lbx} will replace \path{french.lbx}. Coming back to the \acr{mla} example mentioned above, an \acr{mla} style may come with an \path{american-mla.lbx} file to provide strings which comply with the \acr{mla} style guide. It would declare the following mapping in the \file{cbx} and/or \file{bbx} file:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareLanguageMapping{american}{american-mla}
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Use \cmd{DeclareLanguageMappingSuffix} (see \secref{aut:lng:cmd}) to define such a mapping for all languages.
+
+Since the alternative \file{lbx} file can inherit strings from the standard \path{american.lbx} module, \path{american-mla.lbx} may be as short as this:
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\ProvidesFile{american-mla.lbx}[2008/10/01 v1.0 biblatex localization]
+<<\InheritBibliographyExtras>>{<<american>>}
+\DeclareBibliographyStrings{%
+ <<inherit>> = {<<american>>},
+ bibliography = {{Works Cited}{Works Cited}},
+ references = {{Works Cited}{Works Cited}},
+}
+\endinput
+\end{ltxexample}
+%
+Alternative \file{lbx} files must ensure that the localisation module is complete. They should do so by inheriting data from the corresponding standard module. If the language \texttt{american} is mapped to \path{american-mla.lbx}, \biblatex will not load \path{american.lbx} unless this module is requested explicitly. In the above example, inheriting <strings> and <extras> will cause \biblatex to load \path{american.lbx} before applying the modifications in \path{american-mla.lbx}.
+
+Note that \cmd{DeclareLanguageMapping} is not intended to handle language variants (\eg American English vs. British English) or \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} language aliases (\eg \texttt{USenglish} vs. \texttt{american}). For example, \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} offers the \texttt{USenglish} option which is similar to \texttt{american}. Therefore, \biblatex comes with an \path{USenglish.lbx} file which simply inherits all data from \path{american.lbx} (which in turn gets the <strings> from \path{english.lbx}). In other words, the mapping of language variants and \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} language aliases happens on the file level, the point being that \biblatex's language support can be extended simply by adding additional \file{lbx} files. There is no need for centralized mapping. If you need support for, say, Portuguese (babel/polyglossia: \file{portuges}), you create a file named \path{portuges.lbx}. If \sty{babel}/\sty{polyglossia} offered an alias named \texttt{brasil}, you would create \path{brasil.lbx} and inherit the data from \path{portuges.lbx}. In contrast to that, the point of \cmd{DeclareLanguageMapping} is handling \emph{stylistic} variants like <humanities vs. natural sciences> or <\acr{mla} vs. \acr{apa}> etc. which will typically be built on top of existing \file{lbx} files.
+
+\subsubsection{Grouping}
+\label{aut:cav:grp}
+
+In a citation or bibliography style, you may need to set flags or store certain values for later use. In this case, it is crucial to understand the basic grouping structure imposed by this package. As a rule of thumb, you are working in a large group whenever author commands such as those discussed in \secref{aut:aux} are available because the author interface of this package is only enabled locally. If any bibliographic data is available, there is at least one additional group. Here are some general rules:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item The entire list of references printed by \cmd{printbibliography} and similar commands is processed in a group. Each entry in the list is processed in an additional group which encloses the \prm{item code} of \cmd{defbibenvironment} as well as all driver code.
+
+\item The entire bibliography list printed by \cmd{printbiblist} is processed in a group. Each entry in the list is processed in an additional group which encloses the \prm{item code} of \cmd{defbibenvironment} as well as all driver code.
+
+\item All citation commands defined with \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand} are processed in a group holding the complete citation code consisting of the \prm{precode}, \prm{sepcode}, \prm{loopcode}, and \prm{postcode} arguments. The \prm{loopcode} is enclosed in an additional group every time it is executed. If any \prm{wrapper} code has been specified, the entire unit consisting of the wrapper code and the citation code is wrapped in an additional group.
+
+\item In addition to the grouping imposed by all backend commands defined with \cmd{DeclareCiteCommand}, all <autocite> and <multicite> definitions imply an additional group.
+
+\item \cmd{printfile}, \cmd{printtext}, \cmd{printfield}, \cmd{printlist}, and \cmd{printnames} form groups. This implies that all formatting directives will be processed within a group of their own.
+
+\item All \file{lbx} files are loaded and processed in a group. If an \file{lbx} file contains any code which is not part of \cmd{DeclareBibliographyExtras}, the definitions must be global.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+Note that using \cmd{aftergroup} in citation and bibliography styles is unreliable because the precise number of groups employed in a certain context may change in future versions of this package. If the above list states that something is processed in a group, this means that there is \emph{at least one} group. There may also be several nested ones.
+
+\subsubsection{Namespaces}
+\label{aut:cav:nam}
+
+In order to minimize the risk of name clashes, \latex packages typically prefix the names of internal macros with a short string specific to the package. For example, if the \sty{foobar} package requires a macro for internal use, it would typically be called \cmd{FB at macro} or \cmd{foo at macro} rather than \cmd{macro} or \cmd{@macro}. Here is a list of the prefixes used or recommended by \biblatex:
+
+\begin{marglist}
+
+\item[\texttt{blx}] All macros with names like \cmd{blx at name} are strictly reserved for internal use. This also applies to counter names, length registers, boolean switches, and so on. These macros may be altered in backwards"=incompatible ways, they may be renamed or even removed at any time without further notice. Such changes will not even be mentioned in the revision history or the release notes. In short: never use any macros with the string \texttt{blx} in their name in any styles.
+
+\item[\texttt{abx}] Macros prefixed with \texttt{abx} are also internal macros but they are fairly stable. It is always preferable to use the facilities provided by the official author interface, but there may be cases in which using an \texttt{abx} macro is convenient.
+
+\item[\texttt{bbx}] This is the recommended prefix for internal macros defined in bibliography styles.
+
+\item[\texttt{cbx}] This is the recommended prefix for internal macros defined in citation styles.
+
+\item[\texttt{lbx}] This is the recommended base prefix for internal macros defined in localisation modules. The localisation module should add a second prefix to specify the language. For example, an internal macro defined by the Spanish localisation module would be named \cmd{lbx at es@macro}.
+
+\end{marglist}

+\section{Default Driver Source Mappings}
+\label{apx:maps}
+
+These are the driver default source mappings.
+
+\subsection{\opt{bibtex}}\label{apx:maps:bibtex}
+The \opt{bibtex} driver is of course the most comprehensive and mature of the \biblatex/\biber supported data formats. These source mapping defaults are how the aliases from sections \secref{bib:typ:als} and \secref{bib:fld:als} are implemented.
+
+\begin{ltxexample}
+\DeclareDriverSourcemap[datatype=bibtex]{
+ \map{
+ \step[typesource=conference, typetarget=inproceedings]
+ \step[typesource=electronic, typetarget=online]
+ \step[typesource=www, typetarget=online]
+ }
+ \map{
+ \step[typesource=mastersthesis, typetarget=thesis, final]
+ \step[fieldset=type, fieldvalue=mathesis]
+ }
+ \map{
+ \step[typesource=phdthesis, typetarget=thesis, final]
+ \step[fieldset=type, fieldvalue=phdthesis]
+ }
+ \map{
+ \step[typesource=techreport, typetarget=report, final]
+ \step[fieldset=type, fieldvalue=techreport]
+ }
+ \map{
+ \step[fieldsource=address, fieldtarget=location]
+ \step[fieldsource=school, fieldtarget=institution]
+ \step[fieldsource=annote, fieldtarget=annotation]
+ \step[fieldsource=archiveprefix, fieldtarget=eprinttype]
