Testing biber and biblatex Here is a reference to McCarthy’s history of lisp (808387 ), followed by the same reference in traditional author-year-format (808387 ). compared to your pdf file: Testing biber and biblatex Here is a reference to McCarthy’s history of lisp (1978), followed by the same reference in traditional author-year-format (McCarthy, 1978). References McCarthy, John (1978). “History of LISP”. In: SIGPLAN Not. 13.8, pp. 217– 223. issn: 0362-1340. doi: http : / / doi . acm . org / 10 . 1145 / 960118 . 808387.

(old versions of biber and biblatex) So I should first find out which versions are in Texlive2013 (see my EMail Today 16:10:42 How to? Wolfgang
