Re: [Bug-AUCTeX] RefTeX cannot manage multiple "bibliography" macros

[Mosè Giordano]

Hi Tassilo,

sorry, I didn't specify that this occurs when the bibliography is
typeset using biblatex, with that package it's legal to use more than
one `\bibliography'.  Moreover, using `\addbibresource' instead of
`\bibliography' (and this is the standard in `biblatex') it's
impossible to use a comma separated list of bibliography database
files, so multiple `\addbibresource's are needed.

Bye,
Mosè
