Thanks, I did not know the difference between 'tm-' and traditional styles. I chose a 'tm-' style (by default). I find that although the article title and author are parsed, the date and the eprint identifier (arXiv:XXXX) or the classification (say math.DS) don't show.

Now I tried 'alpha'. I don't know how to configure it properly.

I tried bibtex with 'alpha' style. It seems to me that the directory is not configured correctly. I look at temp.aux at $HOME/.TeXmacs/system/bib, which contains a line "\bibdata{all}" without the correct path (I set up a database which collects all the bibliography that I have used). As a result, bibtex ends up with "I couldn't open database file all.bib". Seemingly I need to open a bug report?

In fact, I want to set biber as the engine. However, if I set biber (Biber 2.14) as a replacement in the preferences, it ends with error "ERROR - Cannot find 'temp.bcf'!". Seemingly I need to configure parameters of biber. I don't know how?

Best wishes,

Frank

Hi Frank,

Standard BibTeX is notorious for not having entry types for certain types
of publications, such as prepublications and web-publications.
The fix is to use sufficiently close entry types such as 'techreport' or
'misc'.

TeXmacs has its own BibTeX parser if you use a BibTeX style that starts with
'tm-'
such as tm-plain or tm-alpha. When specifying a traditional bibtex style,
TeXmacs relies on BibTeX for parsing your BibTeX file or a bibtex replacement
that you may specify in your conversion preferences.

Best wishes, --Joris

By the way, I don't know how TeXmacs parses .bib files. At first, I
thought that it is simply passed to bibtex/biber. I have tried to
change the biblatex converter in TeXmacs, it does not affect the
result.

Best wishes,

Dear all,

I occasionally want to add some reference to preprints in
bibliography. However, it seems to me that TeXmacs does not parse
preprints like the arXiv identifier and the class as in
https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/456354. I wonder how to include
them properly.
