Immediately repeated citations are replaced by the abbreviation `ibidem' unless the citation is the first one on the current page or double page spread (depending on the setting of the \texttt{pagetracker} package option). This style is also intended for citations given in footnotes. \subsection*{Additional package options} \subsubsection*{The \texttt{ibidpage} option} The scholarly abbreviation \emph{ibidem} is sometimes taken to mean both `same author~+ same title' and `same author~+ same title~+ same page' in traditional citation schemes. By default, this is not the case with this style because it may lead to ambiguous citations. With \texttt{ibidpage=true} a page range postnote will be suppressed in an \emph{ibidem} citation if the last citation was to the same page range. With \texttt{ibidpage=false} the postnote is not omitted. Citations to different page ranges than the previous always produce the page ranges with either setting. The default setting is \texttt{ibidpage=false}. Consider the following example citations \begin{verbatim} \cite[12]{cicero} \cite[12]{cicero} \cite[12]{worman} \cite[13]{worman} \end{verbatim} % If \texttt{ibidpage} is set to \texttt{true}, the citations come out -- shortened -- as \begin{quote} Cicero, \emph{De natura deorum,} p.~12 ibid. Worman, \emph{The Cast of Character,} p.~12 ibid., p.~13 \end{quote} % The shortened result for \texttt{ibidpage=false} is \begin{quote} Cicero, \emph{De natura deorum,} p.~12 ibid., p.~12 Worman, \emph{The Cast of Character,} p.~12 ibid., p.~13 \end{quote} \subsubsection*{The \texttt{dashed} option} Use this option to fine-tune the formatting of the \texttt{pages} and \texttt{pagetotal} fields in verbose citations. When an entry with a \texttt{pages} field is cited for the first time and the \texttt{postnote} is a page number or a page range, the citation will end with two page specifications: \begin{quote} Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} pp.\,100--150, p.\,125. \end{quote} % In this example, \enquote{125} is the \texttt{postnote} and \enquote{100--150} is the \texttt{pages} field (there are similar issues with the \texttt{pagetotal} field). This may be confusing to the reader. The \texttt{citepages} option controls how to deal with these fields in this case. The option works as follows, given these citations as an example: \begin{verbatim} \cite{key} \cite[a note]{key} \cite[125]{key} \end{verbatim} % \texttt{citepages=permit} allows duplicates, i.e., the style will print both the \texttt{pages}\slash \texttt{pagetotal} and the \texttt{postnote}. This is the default setting: \begin{quote} Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} pp.\,100--150. Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} pp.\,100--150, a note. Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} pp.\,100--150, p.\,125. \end{quote} % \texttt{citepages=suppress} unconditionally suppresses the \texttt{pages}\slash \texttt{pagetotal} fields in citations, regardless of the \texttt{postnote}: \begin{quote} Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book.} Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} a note. Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} p.\,125. \end{quote} % \texttt{citepages=omit} suppresses the \texttt{pages}\slash \texttt{pagetotal} in the third case only. They are still printed if there is no \texttt{postnote} or if the \texttt{postnote} is not a number or range: \begin{quote} Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} pp.\,100--150. Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} pp.\,100--150, a note. Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} p.\,125. \end{quote} % \texttt{citepages=separate} separates the \texttt{pages}\slash \texttt{pagetotal} from the \texttt{postnote} in the third case: \begin{quote} Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} pp.\,100--150. Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} pp.\,100--150, a note. Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} pp.\,100--150, esp. p.\,125. \end{quote} % The string \enquote{especially} in the third case is the bibliography string \texttt{thiscite}, which may be redefined. \subsubsection*{The \texttt{dashed} option} By default, this style replaces recurrent authors/editors in the bibliography by a dash so that items by the same author or editor are visually grouped. This feature is controlled by the package option \texttt{dashed}. Setting \texttt{dashed=false} in the preamble will disable this feature. The default setting is \texttt{dashed=true}. \subsection*{Hints} If you want terms such as \emph{ibidem} to be printed in italics, redefine \cmd{mkibid} as follows: \begin{verbatim} \renewcommand*{\mkibid}{\emph} \end{verbatim} \clearpage \subsection*{\cmd{footcite} examples} % The initial citation of an entry includes all the data. This is just filler text.\footcite{aristotle:anima} This is just filler text.\footcite{aristotle:physics} % Subsequent citations use a more compact format. This is just filler text.\footcite{aristotle:anima} This is just filler text.\footcite{aristotle:physics} % Immediately repeated citations are replaced by the % abbreviation `ibidem'...
