I am using XeLaTeX
together with biblatex
. I am typesetting a table where a citation goes into one of the column headers, namely I put \citet{ref1}
into the table.
ref1
has two authors and normally the citation AuthorA and AuthorB (2013)
looks fine in the text; however, in the table it is too wide so I was hoping to force biblatex
to shorten it to AuthorA et al. (2013)
.
Is there a way to do that? Note that I do not want to do it document-wide, only within the particular table.
NOTE: Using \citeauthor
produces both names.
MWE
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=authoryear-comp, natbib=true, backend=biber, sorting=nyt, autolang=hyphen]{biblatex}
\begin{filecontents}{literature.bib}
@ARTICLE{ref1,
AUTHOR = {AuthorA, A. and AuthorB, B.},
JOURNALTITLE = {{Journal of Testing}},
PAGES = {1--2},
TITLE = {{Test Reference}},
VOLUME = 1,
NUMBER = 1,
YEAR = 2013
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{literature.bib}
\begin{document}
\citet{ref1}
\end{document}
