CTAN Update: biblatex-fiwi
by CTAN Announcements 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

On Fri, 18 Nov 2011 Simon Spiegel submitted an update to the biblatex-fiwi package. Summary description: Biblatex styles for use in German humanities. License type: free ---------------------------------------------------------------------- biblatex-fiwi is a collection of styles for the biblatex package. It was designed for citations in German Humanities, especially film studies, and offers some features that are not provided by the standard biblatex styles. biblatex-fiwi depends on biblatex (version 1.7 at least) and cannot be used without it! Since the style in its current incarnation is highly optimized for documents written in German, the main documentation is only available in German. If there is enough interest, I may at a later point add an English manual. This update only contains small bugfixes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-fiwi . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/biblatex-fiwi (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
