# biblatex-lni

This is a [biblatex] style for the [Lecture Notes in Informatics (LNI)](https://gi.de/service/publikationen/lni) of the [Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V.]
It requires at least [biblatex 3.5] and [biber] 2.6.

> This style is available on CTAN at <https://ctan.org/pkg/biblatex-lni> and should directly be usable in your LaTeX distribution.

## Usage in the context of the LNI class

Typically, this class is used in the context of LNI publications, which are typeset using the [lni package](https://ctan.org/pkg/lni).

```latex
\documentclass[biblatex,english]{lni}
\bibliography{LNI-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
\title{Title}
\author{Firstname Lastname}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
Text
\end{abstract}
\section{Introduction}
Text~\cite{jabref}.
\printbibliography
\end{document}
```

## Usage outside LNI class

This style has no specific requirements, thus you can just pass `style=LNI` as parameter to [biblatex].

If you include the template in an existing document, following lines are recommended:

```latex
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[
  backend=biber,
  style=LNI
]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{LNI-examples.bib}
```

Use `\printbibliography` in your document to print the bibliography.
Use `biber` instead of `bibtex` to generate the bibliography entries.
