How to use biblatex with IEEE bibtex style?

Question

http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/IEEEtran/bibtex/IEEEfull.bib

defines a bibliography style. How to use that if I want to use biblatex to format my bibliography?

Answer 1

biblatex is not compatible with traditional bibtex styles. The IEEE style uses so-called .bst files which biblatex can't use. But there is a new bibla­tex-ieee style for biblatex which probably is much more powerful.

You can call ith with

\usepackage[style=ieee]{biblatex}
