biblatexformatting
How can I format the titles "Books" and "Articles" to appear as \subsections?
MWE:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\addbibresource{NZSM446.bib}
\begin{document}
\section{Sections Available}
\subsection{Subsection}
\subsubsection{Subsubsection}
\section{Bibliography}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography[title={Books},type=book,sorting=nyt]
\printbibliography[title={Articles},type=article,sorting=nyt]
\end{document}
Desired output:
Using biblatex 2.0 and biber 1.0. You have to redefine the nyt sorting scheme and add a custom field, example below. In general, this is easy, just add a custom field with an ordering value based on the entrytype of the entry, then sort on this after the year:
\DeclareSourcemap{
\maps[datatype=bibtex]{
\map{
\pertype{book}
\step[fieldset=usera, fieldvalue=1]
}
\map{
\pertype{article}
\step[fieldset=usera, fieldvalue=2]
}
}
}
\DeclareSortingScheme{nyt}{
\sort{
\field{presort}
}
\sort[final]{
\field{sortkey}
}
\sort{
\name{sortname}
\name{author}
\name{editor}
\name{translator}
\field{sorttitle}
\field{title}
}
\sort{
\field{usera}
}
\sort{
\field{sorttitle}
\field{title}
}
\sort{
\field{sortyear}
\field{year}
}
\sort{
\field[padside=left,padwidth=4,padchar=0]{volume}
\literal{0000}
}
}
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}

Author = {Boker, S. and Neale, M. and Maes, H. and Wilde, M. and
Spiegel, M. and Brick, T. and Spies, J. and Estabrook,
R. and Kenny, S. and Bates, T. and others},

equation modeling framework},

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.
Best Answer
You can add
heading=subbibliographywhen issuing\printbibliography.Also, load
biblatexwith the optiondefernumbers=truewhen printing different bibliographies with different types.In response to your edited question, you can also add
heading=subbibnumberedwhen issuing\printbibliographyto achieve what you want.Notice that, if you want, you can also substitute (for consistency)
with
So, the definitive MWE could be:
