The alphabetic labels resemble a compact author-year style to some extent, but the way they are employed is similar to a numeric citation scheme. \subsection*{\cmd{cite} examples} \cite{companion} \cite[59]{companion} \cite[see][]{companion} \cite[see][59--63]{companion} \subsection*{\cmd{parencite} examples} % With this style, the \parencite command is similar to \cite at % first glance, but the placement of the prenote argument is % different. This is just filler text \parencite{companion}. This is just filler text \parencite[59]{companion}. This is just filler text \parencite[see][]{companion}. This is just filler text \parencite[see][59--63]{companion}. \subsection*{\cmd{textcite} examples} \textcite{companion} show that this is just filler text. \textcite[59]{companion} show that this is just filler text. \textcite[see][]{companion} show that this is just filler text. \textcite[see][59--63]{companion} show that this is just filler text. \subsection*{\cmd{autocite} examples} % By default, the \autocite command works like \parencite. This is just filler text \autocite{companion}. \subsection*{Multiple citations} % By default, a list of multiple citations is not sorted. You can % enable sorting by setting the 'sortcites' package option. \cite{companion,augustine,bertram,cotton,hammond,massa,murray} \clearpage % The list of references \nocite{*} \printbibliography \end{document}
