A similar question was asked here before and I found DIN 1505 conform .bbx and .cbx but it doesn't look like the alphadin
. The BibLaTeX alphabetic style sadly won't do it for my purposes.
So I tried to modify the files but failed.
I'm aiming for a look like this. It's basically din .bbx
and .cbx
combined with the alphabetic style.
Moreover the label for entries without an author should be the first 3 characters of the cite-key – just like alphadin
would do it but alphabetic won't.
Does anyone know how to modify the files or a workaround for this problem?

More information is certainly needed to specify an alphabetic style, but the document below gives a start. It requires biber as the backend.
Here
\DeclareLabelalphaTemplate
specifies an alphabetic label format that largely corresponds to one of the following, ordered by precedence:shorthand
fieldlabel
field, plus the last two digits inyear
labelname
list when it contains only one item, plus the last two digits inyear
labelname
, plus the last two digits inyear
If the length of
labelname
exceedsmaxalphanames
it is truncated to a list of lengthminalphanames
. The default option settings areminalphanames=1
andmaxalphanames=3
. Truncation is indicated in the label via the\labelalphaothers
character:These can be redefined with
\renewcommand*
. The\sortalphaothers
variant is used only for sorting and should be redefined if\labelalphaothers
uses any formatting commands. Details on\DeclareLabelalphaTemplate
and\defbibenvironment
can be found in the biblatex manual.
