Description-en: Much-augmented BibTeX replacement for BibLaTeX users
The biblatex package by Philipp Lehman is becoming the definitive
citation management tool for LaTeX users. Biblatex has relied on the
venerable BibTeX program only for sorting and generating a very
generic .bbl file without any formatting instruction. Everything else
is taken care of by biblatex, which provides a powerful and flexible
macro interface for authors of citation styles.
.
Biber offers a large superset of BibTeX functionality for BibLaTeX
users. In addition it offers full UTF-8 (Unicode 6.0) capabilities,
fully customisable sorting, output to GraphViz to help visualise
complex crossrefs, support for remote data sources, structural
validation of the data against the (customisable) data model, and a
lot more.
