The very powerful La<\/small><\/span>Te<\/span>X bibliography processing package namely, biblatex.sty<\/code> often clashes with Te<\/span>X4ht. I do not have much knowledge about the innards of biblatex<\/code>. However, I could fix problems found in biblatex.4ht<\/code> consequent to two previous revisions. Now one more revision had taken place, as we can expect, Te<\/span>X4ht fails to work with current version of biblatex<\/code> (v. 1.7). Therefore, one more revision of biblatex.4ht<\/code> becomes necessary which has been done now. Since biblatex<\/code> is widely used by La<\/small><\/span>Te<\/span>X users and many biblatex<\/code> users also deploy Te<\/span>X4ht for generating HTML<\/small> versions of their documents, it has now become an absolute necessity to maintain biblatex.4ht<\/code> in such a way that each revision of the package also triggers a newer releases of biblatex.4ht<\/code>. Developers of biblatex<\/code> have notified that we are going to get a major revision (v. 2.0), so we have to work hard to catch up with new releases.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

biblatex<\/code> package provides many options which are very useful to authors, at the same time, it raises problems of compatibility with Te<\/span>X4ht. Therefore, in order to verify compatibility with all options, I have taken all the example files provided with biblatex<\/code> bundle and tried to generate HTML<\/small> versions of the documents. The names of all files tested are given below. A brief description of the file as provided in those files are also given for the benefit of the readers of this post. Download links to archives of each file containing, original La<\/small><\/span>Te<\/span>X source of the example file; PDF<\/small> and HTML<\/small> outputs; all auxiliary files generated by PDF<\/small>La<\/small><\/span>Te<\/span>X, Te<\/span>X4ht, biber<\/code>, makeindex<\/code> (wherever applicable), new version of biblatex.4ht<\/code> and bib database are provided. A link to an archive that has all the example files and related stuff is also provided, in case, someone wants everything in one go.<\/p>\n

A small modification has been added to all the source files. Since, biber<\/code> is the best backend for biblatex<\/code>, I have introduced the option backend=biber<\/code> to the package loading line in all the example files.<\/p>\n

01-introduction<\/h4>\n

This file briefly presents the main citation commands. It also illustrates the typical structure of a document based on biblatex.<\/p>\n

10-references-per-section<\/h4>\n

This file demonstrates a setup typically used in a collection of articles by different authors, such as a conference proceedings volume for example. Each article is presented as a separate chapter with its own bibliography. The citation labels are local to the ‘refsection’ environments.<\/p>\n

Download link: 10-references-per-section.zip<\/a><\/p>\n

11-references-by-section<\/h4>\n

This file is similar to the ‘per section’ example except that all references are printed at the end of the document. The citation labels are still local to the ‘refsection’ environments.<\/p>\n

Download link: 11-references-by-section.zip<\/a><\/p>\n

12-references-by-segment<\/h4>\n

This file differs from the ‘by section’ example in that the citation labels are assigned globally. They are not local to the ‘refsegment’ environments.<\/p>\n

Download link: 12-references-by-segment.zip<\/a><\/p>\n

13-references-by-keyword<\/h4>\n

It is common requirement to subdivide a bibliography by certain criteria. This example demonstrates how to use keyword filters to subdivide the list of references into primary and secondary sources. The keyword filter depends on the ‘keywords’ fields in the bib file.<\/p>\n

Download link: 13-references-by-keyword.zip<\/a><\/p>\n

14-references-by-category<\/h4>\n

This example will yield the same output as the ‘keywords’ example but the approach is different. Instead of adding the filter criteria to the bib file, we assign keys to categories in the document preamble and use ‘category’ filters to create a subdivided bibliography.<\/p>\n

Download link: 14-references-by-category.zip<\/a><\/p>\n

15-references-by-type<\/h4>\n

This example demonstrates how to subdivide a bibliography by type, using ‘type’ filters.<\/p>\n

Prefixes also work with alphabetic the styles.<\/p>\n
