It would certainly make things easier for users if the arXiv accepted `.bib` files instead of `.bbl` files, because the `.bib` files are not tied to a specific version of...

It is an interesting suggestion to allow for (more) local execution of some options. But this definitely cannot work for all options. The `style` option for example is implemented in...

I'll have to look more closely, but this looks like it could be related to https://github.com/plk/biblatex/issues/295. IIRC `biblatex` does not change (some/all?) `\sfcode`s in citations, which could be a problem...

Consider the following MWE ```latex \documentclass{article} \usepackage[style=authoryear]{biblatex} \addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib} \AtEveryBibitem{tesT\addperiod\addexclam\space} \AtEveryBibitem{test\addperiod\addexclam\space} \begin{document} \frenchspacing \cite[see][tesT\addperiod\addexclam]{doody} \cite[see][test\addperiod\addexclam]{doody} \printbibliography \end{document} ``` and play around with `\frenchspacing` (note that the bibliography is already in `\frenchspacing`,...

As hinted at in #1163 I like the idea. But I would like to be able to stick to a syntax like `\bibfield{}` instead of having to define new user-level...

True, but if that is a worry, one could look into parsing the argument of `\optitem` as a comma-separated list and applying `\bibfield` to each list item separately. *edit* It...

Thank you for your suggestion. I'll have to think about the first idea for a bit. The problem is that the BibTeX format has no notion of a middle name,...

I'll hold off comments about the first question for now, but about the second point I don't think we (`biblatex`/Biber) should try to automatically fix bad `.bib` input. It is...

This is expected, because `\textlatin` does not change all aspects of the currently active language. The `polyglossia` documentation explains > For example `\textrussian{\today}` and `\textlang{russian}{\today}` yield 18 июля 2022 г....

`biblatex` currently simply uses `babel` identifiers. So if Latin-script Serbian is `serbian` and Cyrillic is `serbianc` in `babel`-speak, then `serbian.lbx` and `serbianc.lbx` are the way to go. If the language...
