[texhax] Who is using biblatex?

[Alan T Litchfield]

Thanks Lian,

Looking at the sample bib files, they appeared to be quite different  
to what I have, especially where there are multiple authors. The  
different title types are interesting.

I think most of the changes I would be making are the in-text  
citations which use apacite style commands. I suppose most can be  
easily swapped out.

How do you handle cross-references for, example, multiple in-book, in- 
proceedings, etc. references? I couldn't find anything explicit in the  
documentation.

Thanks
Alan
