| In general, the implemented procedure is independent of any computer platform, editor and program. The only prerequisite is that the authors have a basic LaTeX environment installed, which is available for all commonly used operating systems. We use [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XeLaTeX|XeLaTeX]] (which is part of the standard distribution of TeX) instead of ''pdflatex'' or ''latex''. This enables us to type Unicode (UTF-8) and avoid the coding of non-ASCII-characters. This applies in particular to non-Latin scripts such as Classical Greek or Chinese. Furthermore, we use BibLaTeX, a complete reimplementation of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibTeX|BibTeX]] alongside with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biber_%28LaTeX%29|Biber]]. This enables us to accurately typeset bibliographies that include non-Latin scripts. All these programs are already included in the current releases and do not have to be downloaded separately. | In general, the implemented procedure is independent of any computer platform, editor and program.
