BibtexEntryType

class documenteer.citations.BibtexEntryType(*values)

Bases: StrEnum

The BibTeX entry type to compose a citation as.

The vocabulary is biblatex’s, which is the one Zenodo and GitHub’s “Cite this repository” export in. Classic BibTeX defined no entry type for a dataset or for software, and a classic style that meets one it does not know typesets it as @misc — which is what Documenteer emitted for every work before. So naming the specific type costs a reader of a classic style nothing and tells biblatex what the work actually is.
