Despite its name, the `logic' of this style is more closely related to styles like \texttt{verbose-ibid} and \texttt{verbose-inote} than to the rather special citation scheme implemented in the \texttt{verbose-trad1} style. \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{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. If you you prefer the wider interpretation of \emph{ibidem}, set the package option \texttt{ibidpage=true} or simply \texttt{ibidpage} in the preamble. The default setting is \texttt{ibidpage=false}. \subsubsection*{The \texttt{strict} option} A case related to the definition of \emph{ibidem} is the scope of the \emph{ibidem} and \emph{idem} replacements. By default, this style will only use such abbreviations if the respective citations are given in the same footnote or in consecutive footnotes. The point of this restriction is also to avoid potentially ambiguous citations. Here's an example: \begin{verbatim} ...\footcite{aristotle:anima} ...\footcite{aristotle:anima} ...\footnote{Averroes touches upon this issue in his \emph{Epistle on the Possibility of Conjunction}.} ...\footcite{aristotle:anima} \end{verbatim} % This could be rendered as follows: \begin{pseudofootnotes} \footcite{aristotle:anima} \footcite{aristotle:anima} \footnote{Averroes touches upon this issue in his \emph{Epistle on the Possibility of Conjunction}.} \footcite{aristotle:anima} \end{pseudofootnotes} % What does the \emph{ibidem} in the last footnote refer to? The last formal citation, as given in the first and the second footnote (Aristotle), or the informal reference in the third one (Averroes)? Too avoid such citations, this style will only use \emph{ibidem} and \emph{idem} replacements if the respective citations are given in the same footnote or in consecutive footnotes: \begin{pseudofootnotes*} \footcite{aristotle:anima} \footcite{aristotle:anima} \footnote{Averroes touches upon this issue in his \emph{Epistle on the Possibility of Conjunction}.} \footcite{aristotle:anima} \end{pseudofootnotes*} % Depending on your writing and citing habits, however, you may prefer the less strict \emph{ibidem} and \emph{idem} handling. You can force that by setting the package option \texttt{strict=false} in the preamble. It is still possible to mark a manually inserted discursive citation with \cmd{mancite} when required: \begin{verbatim} ...\footcite{aristotle:anima} ...\footnote{\mancite Averroes touches upon this issue in his \emph{Epistle on the Possibility of Conjunction}.} ...\footcite{aristotle:anima} \end{verbatim} % This will suppress the \emph{ibidem} in the last footnote. \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{averroes/bland} % Subsequent citations use a shorter format. This is just filler text.\footcite[26]{aristotle:anima} This is just filler text.\footcite[59--61]{averroes/bland} This is just filler text.\footcite{aristotle:physics} % Repeated authors are replaced by the abbreviation 'idem': This is just filler text.\footcite{aristotle:anima} This is just filler text.\footcite[55]{aristotle:physics} % Immediately repeated citations are replaced by the % abbreviation 'ibidem'. This is just filler text.\footcite[25]{aristotle:physics} % ibidpage=true would suppress the following page number: This is just filler text.\footcite[25]{aristotle:physics} \clearpage % If the 'shorthand' field is defined, the shorthand is introduced % on the first citation. This is just filler text.\footcite{kant:kpv} This is just filler text.\footcite{kant:ku} % All subsequent citations will then use the shorthand instead of % the short author-title format. This is just filler text.\footcite[24]{kant:kpv} This is just filler text.\footcite[59--63]{kant:ku} \clearpage \subsection*{\cmd{autocite} examples} % The \autocite command works like \footcite. Note that % the period is moved and placed before the footnote. This is just filler text \autocite{aristotle:rhetoric}. This is just filler text \autocite{averroes/bland}. This is just filler text \autocite{aristotle:rhetoric}. This is just filler text \autocite{aristotle:anima}. This is just filler text \autocite{aristotle:physics}. This is just filler text \autocite{aristotle:physics}. \clearpage % Since all bibliographic data is provided on the first citation, % this style may be used without a list of references and % shorthands. Of course these lists may still be printed if desired. \printshorthands \printbibliography \end{document}
