If they share the same year as well, the year is also printed only once. This style will implicitly enable the \texttt{sortcites} package option at load time. \subsection*{Additional package options} \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}. \subsubsection*{The \texttt{mergedate} option} The \texttt{mergedate} option controls whether or not date specifications are merged with the date label which is printed after the author in the bibliography. For example, while \texttt{mergedate=false} outputs: \begin{quote} Doe, John (2008a). \enquote{Article}. In: \emph{Journal} 23.5 (May 2008), pp.~5--24. \end{quote} % \texttt{mergedate=true} will print: \begin{quote} Doe, John (May 2008a). \enquote{Article}. In: \emph{Journal} 23.5, pp.~15--34. \end{quote} % The default setting is \texttt{mergedate=true}. Note that this options only affects the bibliography. Citations never include full dates anyway. In this example, the citation will be \enquote{Doe 2008a} in both cases. \subsection*{Multiple citations} \cite{knuth:ct:c,aristotle:physics,knuth:ct:b,aristotle:poetics,aristotle:rhetoric,knuth:ct:d} \clearpage \printbibliography \end{document}
