I don't know if it is my Gnus but I doubt it as I haven't seen anything that plain chaos (since my last birthday party at least) - just type, man! Here is how to do it - the trick is to not have any "operational" data in the biblatex file - just the sources. For example, if you have the poor taste of taking an interest in databases - in db.bib: @Book{mcfadden, author = {McFadden and Hoffer and Prescott}, title = {Modern Database Management}, publisher = {Addison-Wesley}, year = 1998, ISBN = {0-8053-6054-9}, edition = {5th edition}} Then, in db.tex, you keep everything to it that relates to *your* activity (the pages in this example): \cite[pp. 233, 237]{mcfadden} You can see how it works in context here [1] - perhaps there are a couple of settings in the .tex file that prepare it all to work. Don't forget the Makefile so you can invoke it all in one stroke. Also, check out comp.text.tex. Good luck!
