No, definitely not. biblatex is a latex package (it's not a program) that replaces packages such an natbib and harvard for creating bibliographies. Additionally, it includes quite a bit of functionality that in the old way of doing things was provided by bibtex (which is *not* a package but a program). biblatex can make use of bibtex, but bibtex is rather limited (cannot handle much more than ascii, in essence) so a replacement for bibtex was developed, which is biber. Biber is a program (not a latex package ;-) meant to cooperate with biblatex. so you need both biblatex and biber. :-) -- Joost Kremers, PhD University of Göttingen Institute for German Philology Käte-Hamburger-Weg 3 37073 Göttingen, Germany _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
