Feature request: format preview using BibLaTeX-files (*.bbx and *.cbx-files)

[domhardt]

Preview section should be able to render entry according to native BibLaTeX style.

Refs #119, because CitationStyles are easier to implement in comparison to Biblatex.

Refs #110, because our BibtexVM can be used to process bst styles. In the most cases, the old-fashioned bst styles are still the main styles to use. Examples: Springer LNCS (refs latextemplates/LNCS#3), IEEE (refs josephwright/biblatex-ieee#22 (comment)), and GI's LNI (refs https://github.com/latextemplates/LNI/issues/1).

Springer LNCS and IEEE seem to be available as BibLaTeX-Sytle too:

• https://github.com/gvdgdo/biblatex-lncs
• https://www.ctan.org/pkg/biblatex-ieee?lang=de

Only GI's LNI is available as old fashioned bat-style only.

Not officially. The linked LNCS biblatex repo (gvdgdo/biblatex-lncs) is not recent. The link provided by me (latextemplates/LNCS#3) references to the most recent fork https://github.com/neapel/biblatex-lncs/, where I contribute to.

Regarding IEEE, the linked pull request (josephwright/biblatex-ieee#22 (comment)) states that the style is NOT intended to be used at IEEEtran.cls.

I also like biblatex, but please understand that we are asking for a pull request in this case and focus on other issues.

For LNI, there is work in progress at https://github.com/latextemplates/LNI/pull/3

Please use a development build from http://builds.jabref.org/master - there is support for citation styles added (see #1928). Maybe that helps as workaround.

I think with the more universal support of the CSL styles in JabRef it's superflous to add a biblatex style rendering. Therefore I would vote to close this issue.
