@comment and @online not recognized ; and error message is unhelpful
The following fails:
@online{NoteFrequencies1977,

author={Backus, J},
year={1977},
url = {\url{http://www.audiology.org/sites/default/files/ChasinConversionChart.pdf}},
urldate = {2016-05-06}
}
with the unhelpful message:
parsing bibtex file /home/markgalassi/Erivate/.tmp/hackingcamp-teacher-manual/small-courses/hackingcamp.bib... parsed 6 entries
Exception occurred: File "/home/markgalassi/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pybtex/style/formatting/init.py", line 60, in format_entries f = getattr(self, "format_" + entry.type) AttributeError: 'Style' object has no attribute 'format_online' The full traceback has been saved in /tmp/sphinx-err-dhWrol.log, if you want to report the issue to the developers. Please also report this if it was a user error, so that a better error message can be provided next time. A bug report can be filed in the tracker at https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues. Thanks!
Similar things happen with @comment when I comment a whole block. Note that @online is a biblatex introduction, not there in old bibtex. Still it should be supported, and it should give a more useful error message.
I'm attaching the stack trace from /tmp

Add support for @online entries and the urldate field (see issue
#96).Just making it an alias for misc, since it is pretty much the same.

I might have a bit of time and interested to look into this issue, while writing a paper with rst+sphinx and using pybtex for references. Does to maintainer have any thoughts, comments or something,, which I should consider before drafting ideas for an implementation?
