One approach to multiple keys is "qualified citation lists", see section 3.7.3 of _The biblatex Package Programmable Bibliographies and Citations by Philipp Lehman_ (`texdoc biblatex' on my Mac). 2. (see Lehman 2012:92 for an explanation of prenotes and postnotes). ^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ prenote postnote 3. BibLaTeX ships with several standard styles, which can be used as starting points for writing specific styles required by publishers. See section 3.3 of the BibLaTeX manual. For an idea of what it takes to support the Chicago style, please see the 129 page manual for the biblatex-chicago style (http://www.ctan.org/pkg/biblatex-chicago). This package supports both the "author-date" system used in the sciences and the "notes & bibliography" system used in the humanities. (Jambunathan, for your reference, the paper I sent you uses the "notes & bibliography" system--it was written in Org-mode and formatted with LaTeX and BibLaTeX.) We use the Chicago Manual of Style at work and the BibTeX approximation of the Chicago bibliography and reference styles. I looked at biblatex-chicago several years ago and had to let it go because of the heavy data requirements. In particular, the changes needed for the .bib database broke other styles that we thought we might use. Apparently, it's not possible to design a data table that supports all the bibliography styles that one might want to use. hth, Tom -- Thomas S. Dye http://www.tsdye.com
