This reduces the checking of interdependent rule changes for future updates (before: own interpretation > BUW > ZS > USSL + Style sheet for Mouton journals, after: own interpretation > BUW > USSL). - Added an = before the series. - No comma anymore between series and number. - Series now at the very end of the entry. - Colon instead of comma before pages of journal (before: USSL rule, after: BUW rule). - Number of journal now divided from volume by colon instead of being in parathesis without space directly after volume (before: USSL rule, after: BUW rule). - Page now after publisher+location instead of before. - Now URL: before URL (before: USSL rule, after: BUW rule). - Changed both multinamedelim and finalnamedelim to a slash. - No forced comma after note anymore. - Edition as a superscripted number after the year if field edition is INT. - Edition as usual text after published+location if field edition is not INT. - Added option edsuper for deactivating superscripted edition. - Updated documentation (see also for detailed explanation of how the BUW rules have been interpreted (German only). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex-contrib/uni-wtal-lin More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/uni-wtal-lin We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
