BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Open vs compressed format in references

[jazzgossen]

All the bibtex styles I've seen use a "compressed" format (as how it's defined in van Leunen's "Handbook for Scholars"); that is, there are no line breaks between items:

A. Name, The title of my article, Some Journal 10(11), 2007.

I would like an "open" format, with line breaks, more like this:

A. Name.
The title of my article.
Some Journal 10(11), 2007.

Are there any ready-made bibstyles that will produce such output?

Probably easiest to use biblatex. It uses conceptual rather than literal breaks between bibliography "units", so it's easy to alter what happens between each unit.

This should even be possible with any standard bibliography style and the openbib class option.

Great, thanks!
