Hello all,
I seem to be running into a bit of a contradictory situation.
I wish to use Biblatex, and the bib file must be Unicode to accommodate all the
characters that will appear there. I understand that I have to use Biber as a
backend to have a Unicode bib file, and on p40 of the Biblatex manual, I read
that in XeTeX I need \usepackage[bibencoding=inputenc]{biblatex}. However, this
causes the compiler to complain that I haven't loaded inputenc.
On the other hand, if I load inputenc, the compiler tells me I shouldn't do
that as it could lead to problems, since XeTeX is natively UTF-8....
Presumably I'm misunderstanding something?
A testfile is appended below. (I've left the other packages in just in case
it's relevant.)
Thanks,
K
