Best Answer
With Alan Munn's cautionary note in mind, here's something that should get you started. First, an example of traditional BibTeX using
acm.bst
:And the same example using
biblatex
and its configuration possibilities. (Note the differences in the.bib
file:journal
is replaced withjournaltitle
,address
is replaced withlocation
.)Some additional tweaks are specified here for multiple-author works, but more may be needed for other entry categories; see Guidelines for customizing biblatex styles for further advice.
