It looks like the csquotes
package does not allow nested citations such as
\foreignblockcquote{foreign language}[pre-note]
[post-note with citation \textcite{key2}]
{key1}[punctuation]{quoted text}
The error message is
Package biblatex error: nested citation command. See the biblatex package document for explanation
but I could not find anything in the csquotes
and biblatex
user guides. Originally, I was interested in using the \textcite
command developed by Audrey in
biblatex footcite and footnote
This question may also be related to
Is it possible to make automatic multiple citations with csquotes and biblatex?
Best Answer
The error has nothing to do with
csquotes
--biblatex
does not allow nested citations. In your case, I'd use\foreignblockquote
(without the "c") and the\cites
"Qualified citation list" command (see section 3.7.3 of thebiblatex
manual). (Note that because I use\cites
' optional argument, I have to wrap the command into additional braces in the optional argument of\foreignblockquote
.)
