defines a bibliography style. How to use that if I want to use biblatex to format my bibliography?

Best Answer

biblatex is not compatible with traditional bibtex styles. The IEEE style uses so-called .bst files which biblatex can't use. But there is a new biblatex-ieee style for biblatex, which probably is much more powerful.

You can call it with

\usepackage[style=ieee]{biblatex}

I have just uploaded a first version of biblatex-ieee to CTAN. This should implement most of the style of the BibTeX part of the IEEEtran bundle. Obviously some testing is needed, but this should enable you to use something very close to the IEEE style using biblatex.

There is now also a biblatex-phys package on CTAN. At present, this covers the styles which REVTeX provides: the AIP and APS approaches.

[Tex/LaTex] Biblatex referencing using IEEE style with Annotations

To put you annotation at the end of each reference you can redefine the finentry bib macro.

\renewbibmacro{finentry}{\finentry%
   \iffieldundef{annotation}
      {}
      {\par\medskip\printfield{annotation}\finentry}}

Notice that, in the redefinition you have to use annotation and not annote. In biblatex annote is an alias for annotation but annotation has to be used in the various biblatex definitions.

To insert space between the entry for the reference and the text for the annotation, one can use any (vertical) space command (\medskip in the code above). The \iffieldundefined guards against references without annotation.
