I wish to use biblatex
+biber
, in large part because of its data format (xdata!), but often need to use .bst
-based bibliography styles. I am aware that biber --tool
allows conversion of .bib
-files. Before rolling my own, is there a biber configuration file available that does the conversion from the biblatex
format to the BibTeX format (e.g., resolving cross/x references/data, location -> address, journaltitle -> journal, date -> year+#mon#)?

Best Answer
Try the
biber
option--tool-resolve
. This resolves crossref/xref and xdata. To reverse the standardbiblatex
mappings you mention (which are implemented inbiblatex.def
using the standard macros in the documentation), copy the standard mappings to your preamble and edit as necessary to reverse them:or do the same thing via your
biber.conf
(these are the standard mappings, just reverse the source/target specifiers according to need):These are equivalent and implement the default
biblatex
mappings, it just depends on where you prefer to specify the mapping.
