CTAN update: BibArts
BibArts is a package to administer bibliographical references in footnotes, and for creating a bibliography from these references simultaneously; it requires a program, for which source and Windows executable are provided. (A summary of contents is in English; the full documentation is in German.) === Changes from BibArts version 2.5 (2022b) to version 2.6 (now, 2023): Version 2.6 improves the use of BibArts with BABEL and UTF-8. For this purpose, some commands have been expanded: \baoriginalTeX and \bagermanTeX (for reproducing the catcode of " on BibArts' lists), \hy and \fhy (for printing a hyphen with a kerning), \abra and \fabra (for editorial additions in adjusted square brackets). BibArts 2.6 is checking whether LaTeX defines `\inputencodingname' as `utf8'; if not, [f]hy and [f]abra will not interpret UTF-8 multi-octets. Commands for compatibility with older versions of BibArts are added: \notnewhyko and \notnewabra are downgrading BibArts 2.6 to the older interpretation of [f]hy and [f]abra commands. For details, see README.txt. === Published under the terms of the GNU General Public License. BibArts 2.6 (18/06/2023): (C) Timo Baumann, Versions 2.x (2015-2023)

BibArts – “Arts”-style bibliographical information
BibArts is a LaTeX package to assist in making bibliographical features common in the arts and the humanities (history, political science, philosophy, etc.).
bibarts.sty provides commands for quotations, abbreviations, and especially for a formatted citation of literature, journals (periodicals), edited sources, and archive sources. In difference to earlier versions, BibArts 2.x helps to use slanted fonts (italics) and is able to set ibidem automatically in footnotes. It will also copy all citation information, abbreviations, and register key words into lists for an automatically generated appendix. These lists may refer to page and footnote numbers. BibArts has nothing to do with BibTeX. The lists are created by bibsort (see below).
BibArts requires the program bibsort, for which the sources and a Windows executable are provided. This program creates the bibliography without using MakeIndex or BibTeX. Its source is not written with any specific operating system in mind. A summary of contents is in English; the full documentation is in German.
