Biber Support

The default preamble sets up biber assuming that there is a file /bibliography.bib in the root directory of the LaTeX-Zettel.

If you use a reference manager, like Zotero, then you may be able to set up an automatic biblatex export to this file whenever you add a new reference. (Or use a symbolic link to a file that is stored somewhere else on the computer.)

You can then cite any reference in your bibliography using the command

\cite{citationKey}

You can also use the other cite commands included with biber like \textcite and \autocite.

To render the bibliography you can either run

biber note_name

from the output directory (either /pdf or /html), where note_name (with no extension) is the filename of the note you want to add the bibliography to, after you have compiled the note, and then recompile the note.

The manage.py script includes the command

python manage.py biber note_name format

where format is optional (either html or pdf) and by default pdf. This is slightly more convenient than the above since you don't have to change directory.
