[Tex/LaTex] biblatex: is it possible to combine two styles

biblatexfootnotes

Ok so after my first question yesterday Clickable, bottom page reference ?! Possible ? and based on the received answer I decided to head for biblatex, install biber and all. But the documentation is tough : I found the german tutorial but except Dancke shön I don't know what to say/do.

Ok so my question is simple.

I loaded biblatex this way

\RequirePackage[backend=biber,style=chem-acs,sorting=none,hyperref]{biblatex}

And the American Chemical Society style is perfect (well almost what I'm looking for).

Now this option loading verbose

\RequirePackage[backend=biber,style=verbose-trad1,sorting=none,hyperref]{biblatex}

allows me to have footnote citations as I wished!

But I would like to have footnote citations with op cit ibid. etc … and the ACS format (or whateever else format.)

Best Answer

It is quite easy. biblatex allows you to choose a style for the bibliography, and a style for the citation. It is clearly written in the biblatex documentation.

bibstyle=chem-acs,citestyle=verbose-trad1

Instead of your style=chem-acs

Here, I think this should do more or less what you want (you may find some issues when you add new items with different fields… always happens). A couple of things you may be interested in:

You can load the package with autocite=footnote and add \let\cite=\autocite to your preamble, so that \cite will automatically put your citations in footnotes (unless you are already in one).
I loaded babel and csquotes with british language to get you the single quotes you need; I know of no other proper way to do it.
You still need to copy and modify english.lbx and change the shorthands for "edition" and "editor"/"editors". These changes can't be done in the preamble.

Now, add this to your preamble:

\usepackage[british]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}

And you can copy this to your style file:

% $Id: BJA.cbx,v 1.0 $

\ProvidesFile{BJA.cbx}
[\abx@cbxid $Id: BJA.cbx, v 1.0 $]

\RequireCitationStyle{verbose-ibid}

\AtEveryCitekey{%

EDIT: Corrected the book and collection/inbook titles that appeared in italics. They are now in roman (but I didn't re-upload the picture).

[Tex/LaTex] biblatex messing up citation entry with lots of authors

This problem is due to biblatex-apa's (apa.bbx's) apaauthor name format; you might want to notify the author of this small bug.

The string and others in the author list sets ifmorenames to true. apaauthor checks for this case whenever a name is printed, not just at the very end of the list; consequently it prints the andothers string ("et al.") after each name.

The fix is to add the following lines to your preamble.

\DeclareNameFormat{apaauthor}{%
  \ifthenelse{\value{listcount}=\maxprtauth\AND\value{listcount}<\value{listtotal}}
    {\addcomma\addspace\ldots\addspace}
    {\ifthenelse{\value{listcount}>\maxprtauth\AND\value{listcount}<\value{listtotal}}
      {}
      {\ifthenelse{\iffieldequalstr{doubtfulauthor}{true}}
        {\mkbibbrackets{\usebibmacro{name:apa:last-first}{#1}{#3}{#4}{#5}{#7}?}}
        {\usebibmacro{name:apa:last-first}{#1}{#3}{#4}{#5}{#7}}}}%
  \ifthenelse{\value{listcount}=\value{listtotal}}% this test is new
    {\ifmorenames{\andothersdelim\bibstring{andothers}}{}}{}}

The MWE

\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@Article{boker2011,
Author = {Boker, S. and Neale, M. and Maes, H. and Wilde, M. and
Spiegel, M. and Brick, T. and Spies, J. and Estabrook,

Title = {Open{M}x: {A}n open source extended structural
equation modeling framework},
Journal = {Psychometrika},
Volume = {76},
Number = {2},
Pages = {306--317},

}


\documentclass{apa6}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=apa,maxnames=999,sortcites=true,sorting=nyt,apabackref=true,backend=biber]{biblatex}
\DeclareLanguageMapping{american}{american-apa}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\DeclareNameFormat{apaauthor}{%

  \ifthenelse{\value{listcount}=\value{listtotal}}
    {\ifmorenames{\andothersdelim\bibstring{andothers}}{}}{}}

\shorttitle{IFA}

\begin{document}

OpenMx \parencite{boker2011,aksin,wilde,murray}

\printbibliography
\end{document}

then yields

Update 2013-10: This has been corrected in biblatex-apa version 6.4 according to a comment below the question from user PLK.
