biblatex reference format & ISBN number about lni HOT 8 CLOSED

Are you using BibTeX or biblatex (biber)?

from lni.

For biblatex the bibliography driver for book indeed differs from the one for collection. It misses:

\iftoggle{bbx:isbn}
    {\printfield{isbn}}
    {}%

as well as

\printfield{note}

@koppor has to answer whether this really is intentional.

Yes, I am using biber.

A also noticed that in the instructions for lni MSWord references, ISBN number is not included in any case.

As this is an biblatex-lni feature then, I will close this one here.

Would the following format fit your expectations @TomasAtGenicore?

Kottwitz, S.: LaTeX Cookbook. Quick answers to common problems, Packt
Publishing, 2015, ISBN: 978-1784395148.

Source:

@Book{latexcookbook,
  author    = {Stefan Kottwitz},
  title     = {LaTeX Cookbook},
  year      = {2015},
  isbn      = {978-1784395148},
  publisher = {Packt Publishing},
  note      = {Quick answers to common problems},
}

I am aware that "Quick answers to common problems" is a subtitle and not a real note. I couldn't come up with a better example.

@koppor > Would the following format fit your expectations

Thanks for the reply, not exactly, but I think I understand now.

In the documentation for the lni package, on https://www.ctan.org/pkg/lni, the reference format is not defined, so my assumption was that the biblatex-lni template, would extract exactly the fields required to match the 'lni' publishing requirements. I guess this was the wrong assumption.
"A bib file has to be modified for publication anyway (refs JabRef/jabref#160)"

I also noticed the OCLC and ISBN number inconsistency mentioned in the first message, but according to the "Word" file on https://gi.de/service/publikationen/lni/ never is included in the bibliography, anyway.

Perhaps lni-package documentation should be clarified on reference content and .bib file modification.
