\paragraph{Load \biblatex\ and \package{csquotes}}
\begin{pseudoverb}
\cs{usepackage}[backend=biber,\\
style=\angled{style},\angled{options}]\{biblatex\}\\
\cs{usepackage}[style=\angled{style}]\{csquotes\}
\end{pseudoverb}

Always add a bibliography file with
\begin{pseudoverb}
\cs[\angled{bibfile.bib}]{addbibliography}
\end{pseudoverb}

\paragraph{Languages}
\begin{pseudoverb}
\cs{usepackage}[\angled{language}]\{babel\}\\
\emph{or} \cs{usepackage}\{polyglossia\}
\end{pseudoverb}
Load these before \biblatex.

\paragraph{Encodings and accents} Use \smallcaps{utf-8} in |.bib|
file, or use \TeX\ accent commands |\`| etc. Prefer unicode. Set input
encoding of |.tex| file with \package{inputenc}, or use Xe\TeX\ or Lua\TeX.

\paragraph{Citations}
Use |\autocite| and |\cite| in all styles. Use |\textcite| for
`running' citations. Use |\parencite| for parenthetical citations. Use
|\footcite| for footnote citations.

Citation commands take the form:
\begin{pseudoverb}
  \cs{cite}[\angled{postnote}]\{\angled{key}\}\\
  \emph{or}
  \cs{cite}[\angled{prenote}][\angled{postnote}]\{\angled{key}\}
\end{pseudoverb}

\paragraph{Printing the bibliography}
\begin{pseudoverb}
\cs{printbibliography}
\end{pseudoverb}

\begin{itemize}
\item Run \LaTeX.
\item Run \package{Biber}.
\item Run \LaTeX\ once or twice more.
\end{itemize}

\paragraph{Database} Entries take the form
\begin{pseudoverb}
@\angled{type}\{\angled{key},\\
 \angled{field} $=$ \{\angled{value}\}, \\
 \emph{or} \angled{field} $=$ "\angled{value}",
 \}
\end{pseudoverb}
