I want to do a BibLaTeX tutorial (Video, YouTube) with a step-by-step explanation using TeXmaker and also the command line. Would it be appropriate to show you guys here my example before I do the tutorial? I am not 100 % sure if I understand all the encoding subjects correctly.
I don't think here would be a good fit as meta-type questions typically ask questions about the main site. So questions here would be with regards to TeX.SE, which yours seems to not be.
If your aim was to ask on the main site, then it seems like you don't really have a question (at the moment)... you just want some feedback on a possible tutorial.
Rephrase your current tutorial in the form of a question and then post it, together with your tutorial (with code and pictures and links and such) as an answer. That's more like it.

1I agree. Just didn't knew where to ask. I just didn't want to ask on the main site a question if I can ask a specific question on the main site :). Vote to close if think that's in order - I will delete it asap. – Dr. Manuel Kuehner May 29 '16 at 21:38

8But if @Dr.ManuelKuehner does this, they'll be no indication that the point is to garner feedback on the answer, will there? I think chat really would be ideal for this as Paulo suggested. – cfr Jun 1 '16 at 21:10

setting to use. I would also recommend UTF-8 as default over ISO-8859-1. Normally it is not necessary to givebibencoding
when.tex
and.bib
file have the same encoding. – moewe Mar 8 '17 at 15:54bibencoding
option without explaining it any further. In your case, the option is superfluous, but if people have a UTF-8 document and.bib
file and then watch only thebiblatex
part of your video they might end up with a mess if they usebibencoding=latin1
. In general it seems that most people watching these tutorials don't look up every option used, but simply copy and paste and expect things to work. – moewe Mar 9 '17 at 8:15biblatex

is lower when people watch my video. So far I get goog feedback. Name a better tutorial (no matter which format) and I link it in the description of the video. – Dr. Manuel Kuehner Mar 9 '17 at 19:59bibencoding
) that I found unfortunate, for the reasons I hopefully explained well enough above. There are many tutorials out there and they all have their strengths and weaknesses (some more, some less) and they all focus on different things and do that on different levels. – moewe Mar 10 '17 at 7:43
