By default, biblatex
prints a new footnote for every use of \footcite{...}
regardless of the content.
In case of multiple citations of the same literature on the same page, I'd like to automatically merge the identical \footcite
s (use the same footnote number for every occurence and print the footnote only once). How an I achieve this?
MWE
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=authoryear]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{Literature.bib}
\begin{document}
Some text.\footcite{ExampleBook} Some more text.\footcite{ExampleBook}
\end{document}
Content of Literature.bib
@book{ExampleBook,
title = {Some Title},
author = {Some Author},
year = {1492},
}

The tricky bit is when the
\footcite
is in a paragraph which gets split across two pages. Both halves think they are on the first page. Theifoddpage
package can be used to handle that, but it takes two runs.
