> What is this, Well, these are two biblatex styles for ieee (cbx files are the citation styles, and .bbx files are the style for the references section). If you use standard bibtex you can safely ignore them. You probably have one or more .bst files in your installation (perhaps ieeetr.bst) that governs formatting under bibtex. Should you decide to use biblatex instead, you would probably use the styles you listed. > how would lyx use it See the wiki page on biblatex on how to use it from within lyx. Support is currently only partial. That means yo uneed to load bibalatex (with the required styles) and the .bib file manually from the preamble. You can insert citation directly with LyX interface, unless you want to do fancy things. > and should I care? I'm afraid that's up to you to decide...;-) Cheers, Stefano -- __________________________________________________ Stefano Franchi Associate Research Professor Department of Hispanic Studies Ph: +1 (979) 845-2125 Texas A&M University Fax: +1 (979) 845-6421 College Station, Texas, USA stef...@tamu.edu http://stefano.cleinias.org
