Hi all,
`reftex-create-bibtex-file' is a neat RefTeX utility, but it doesn’t
seem to handle some peculiarities of `biblatex', namely:
- `reftex-all-used-citation-keys', the auxiliary function used by
`reftex-create-bibtex-file' to generate the list of entries cited in
the document, does not include entries cited in qualified citation
lists.
- `reftex-create-bibtex-file' handles the traditional BibTeX `crossref'
and `string' fields, but biblatex extends data inheritance and entry
cross-reference with such fields as `xref', `xdata' and `set', which
are not taken care of.
A MWE which illustrates these cases is:
