+   so that transactions are atomic even if interrupted by a power
+   loss or system crash. Furthermore, automatic self-checks verify
+   that all aspects of the repository are consistent prior to each
+   commit. In over two years of operation, no work has ever been
+   lost after having been committed to a Fossil repository.

-The biblatex package is a complete reimplementation of the bibliographic
-facilities provided by LaTeX in conjunction with BibTeX. It redesigns the way in
-which LaTeX interacts with BibTeX at a fairly fundamental level. With biblatex,
-BibTeX is only used (if it is used at all) to sort the bibliography and to
-generate labels. Instead of being implemented in BibTeX's style files, the
-formatting of the bibliography is entirely controlled by TeX macros. Good
-working knowledge in LaTeX should be sufficient to design new bibliography and
-citation styles - there is no need to learn BibTeX's postfix stack language.
-Just like the bibliography styles, all citation commands may be freely
-(re)defined. In fact, users need not remain bound to BibTeX for use with
-biblatex: an alternative bibliography processor biblatex-biber is available.
-Development of biblatex and biblatex-biber is closely coupled; the present
-release of biblatex is designed to work with biblatex-biber version 0.9.3. The
-package needs e-TeX, and uses the author's etoolbox and logreq packages. For
-users of biblatex-biber, version 0.9 is required (at least; refer to the notes
-for the version of biblatex-biber that you are using). Apart from the features
-unique to biblatex, the package also incorporates core features of the following
-packages: babelbib, bibtopic, bibunits, chapterbib, cite, inlinebib, mcite and
-mciteplus, mlbib, multibib, splitbib. There are also some conceptual parallels
-to the natbib and amsrefs packages. The biblatex package supports split
-bibliographies, multiple bibliographies within one document, and separate lists
-of bibliographic shorthands. Bibliographies may be subdivided into parts (by
-chapter, by section, etc.) and/or segmented by topics (by type, by keyword,
-etc.). The package is fully localized and can interface with the babel package.
