## Description

This Programming Instruction is usefull to include a bibliography coming from an external bibliography database written in the well known BibTeX format. Dblatex will call bibtex to process the database.

The attributes supported by the PI are:

bibfiles

  This attribute is mandatory and specifies the databases to use. The databases are separated by commas, and must not contain the file suffix (`.bib`). The bibfiles paths must be absolute or relative to the base directory of the document. You can also add some bibfile paths by using the `-L` option.

bibstyle

  Optional attribute specifying the bibliographic style to apply for rendering the databases. You can also change globally the style to apply with the `latex.biblio.style`.

  The actual style file used by bibtex is searched in the default paths, but some extra paths can be added by using the `-l` option.

mode

  Optional print mode. The available values are:

  all

    Print all the entries contained in the databases.

  cited

    Print only the entries cited in the document.

  notcited

    Print only the entries not cited in the document.

  When the attribute is not used, the `latex.biblio.output` parameter is used as print mode. By default the print mode is set to 'all'.

## Context

Recognized in the `bibliomixed` element.
