# Summary
The Oscola package works (only!) with Biblatex (v3.14 or later) and
Biber (v2.14 or later). It aims to implement, almost completely, the
OSCOLA style of legal citation, according to the
[4th edition](https://www.law.ox.ac.uk/sites/files/oxlaw/oscola_4th_edn_hart_2012.pdf). For
further information about coverage see the documentation.
# Files and licence
## The package
The package consists of five principal files (`oscola.bbx`, `oscola.cbx`, and three language definition files,
`english-oscola.lbx`, `british-oscola.lbx`, and `american-oscola.lbx`). There is also a very short index
style file, `oscola.ist`. Those files are copyright (c) Paul Stanley
2012-20.

# Installation
I find the TDS difficult. TeXlive, whose maintainers apparently don't,
currently installs as follows:
* `oscola.bbx`: in the package directory `...tex/latex/oscola`
* `oscola.cbx`: in the package directory `.../tex/latex/oscola`
* `english-oscola.lbx`: in the package directory `.../tex/latex/oscola`
* `british-oscola.lbx`: in the package directory `.../tex/latex/oscola`
* `american-oscola.lbx`: in the package directory `.../tex/latex/oscola`
* `oscola.pdf` and `oscola.tex`: with documentation under `.../doc/latex/oscola`
* `oscola.ist`: with the index style files in `.../makeindex/oscola`
