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
