% I lost my original documentation files, including original style files I created to maintain them, so I'm transitioning everything to Philipp Lehman's \sty{ltxdockit}. This part of the user guide, explaining how to create \sty{bibtex} entries for use with \biblatexmla, will be updated shortly.

-\biblatex (and, thus, \biblatexmla) uses \bibtex-style databases to manage the citations and list of works cited. While these databases are just flat text files, there are many good programs available to help you manage them. Zotero, for example, can export as \bibtex, as can Endnote and other commercial programs; each of these will nevertheless export with varying degrees of success. Standalone \bibtex managers such as JabRef and BibDesk use \sty{.bib} files as their native filetype and are much more reliable for managing your list of sources.
