[Tex/LaTex] Setting bibliography style in footnotes with biblatex

Question

I use \footcite to put the bibliography at the footnote of a book.

\usepackage[style=verbose,backend=bibtex8]{biblatex}

produces a lot of unnecessary information like:

William H Gates and Christos H Papadimitriou. “Bounds for sorting by
prefix reversal”. In: Discrete Math. 27.1 (1979), pp. 47–57. ISSN:
0012-365X. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0012- 365X(79) 90068-2. URL:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0012365X79900682.

All other style like:

\usepackage[style=nature,backend=bibtex8]{biblatex}

produces only a number at the footnote.

How can I have some other style like:

W H Gates and C H Papadimitriou. “Bounds for sorting by prefix
reversal”. In: Discrete Math. 27.1 (1979), pp. 47–57.

?

Answer 1

The command \footcite puts the citation into a footnote: the citation in a numeric style is '1' or similar, as expected. You want \footfullcite

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=numeric]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}

Some text.\footfullcite{westfahl:space}

\end{document}
