Re: [O] MWE for BibLaTex and org-ref?

[Loris Bennett]

Hi Detlef,

Thanks for the information.  After removing the bibliography and
bibliographystyle, everything seems to work.  I think I was confused by
the following line from the org-ref manual:

  For LaTeX export a bibliography and bibliographystyle link is /required/.

Are they only required if I am *not* using biblatex, or, if I *am* using
biblatex, are some org-ref goodies not going to work if I don't have
them?

Cheers,

Loris
