** Description changed:
This is a simple request for a package for biblatex to be included in
the repositories. What is biblatex?:
"The biblatex package is a complete reimplementation of the
bibliographic facilities provided by LaTeX in conjunction with BibTeX.
It redesigns the way in which LaTeX interacts with BibTeX at a fairly
fundamental level. With biblatex, BibTeX is only used to sort the
bibliography and to generate labels. Instead of being implemented in
BibTeX's style files, the formatting of the bibliography is entirely
controlled by TeX macros. Good working knowledge in LaTeX should be
sufficient to design new bibliography and citation styles. There is no
need to learn BibTeX's postfix stack language. Just like the
bibliography styles, all citation commands may be freely (re)defined.
Apart from the features unique to biblatex, the package also
incorporates core features of the following packages: babelbib,
bibtopic, bibunits, chapterbib, cite, inlinebib, mlbib, multibib,
splitbib. There are also some conceptual parallels to the natbib and
amsrefs packages. The biblatex package supports split bibliographies,
multiple bibliographies within one document, and separate lists of
bibliographic shorthands. Bibliographies may be subdivided into parts
(by chapter, by section, etc.) and/or segmented by topics (by type, by
keyword, etc.). The package is fully localized and can interface with
the babel package."
