+# DescriptionBegin
+#   This Biblatex variety uses the biblatex-chicago package on top of
+#   biblatex to produce citations according to the Chicago Manual of Style.
+#   As with normal Biblatex, the use of 'biber' as Bibliography
+#   processor is advised.

+
+# The syntax of the cite command definitions below is:
+# LyXName|alias*<!_stardesc!_stardesctooltip>[][]=latexcmd
+# 
+# * LyXName:  The LyX name as output in the LyX file. For
+#             portability reasons, we try to use the same
+#             name for same-formatted commands in the
+#             different engines (thus many names stem from
+#             natbib).
+# * Alias:    A (comma-separated) list of commands that fall
+#             back to the given LyX name in the current engine.
+#             This is a bit like "ObsoletedBy" in the layouts.
+# * latexcmd: The actual LaTeX command that is output.
+#
+# Alias and latexcmd are optional. If no latexcmd is given, the
+# LyXName will be output to LaTeX.
+#
+# Note further:
+#
+# * The LyXName "keyonly" has a special meaning: only the citation key,
+#   without any latex command, is output.
+# * Capitalization indicates that the command also has a capitalized
+#   form (\Latexcmd vs. \latexcmd). These usually enforce upcasing of
+#   name prefixes (von Goethe => Von Goethe).
+# * Brackets [] indicate the number of optional arguments (0, 1, 2).
+# * The star * indicates there is a starred version of the command
+#   (\latexcmd* vs. \latexcmd). By default, the starred version means:
+#   Expand the author list even if the maxnames setting would cause
+#   BibTeX/Biber to shorten it with "et al.".
+#   If the star has a different meaning for a command, it can be
+#   specified in angle brackets: <!_stardesc!_stardesctooltip>.
+#   Maximal two translatable macro keywords, marked by the prefix '!_',
+#   can be given. The first points to the string that replaces the
+#   "Full aut&hor list" checkbox label in the Citation dialog, the
+#   second one an optional tooltip for this checkbox. Note that these
+#   two macros have to be defined in the CiteFormat section (see below),
+#   dropping the '!' from the prefix (see below), e.g.:
+#   _stardesc Starred command label
+#   _stardesctooltip Tooltip for the starred command checkbox.
+# * A trailing $ indicates that a command features "qualified citation
+#   lists" (a specific Biblatex feature)
