Today I wanted to modify some of biblatex
's bibliography driver macros (in my special case it was the url+urldate
macro). My plan was to copy the macro from the biblatex
package of my TeX
distribution to my document preamble and modify it. My first way went straight to the standard.bbx
file where the default bibliography style is defined.
Unfortunately I had to find out that not all of the macros that are called via the \usebibmacro
command are defined in the standard.bbx
. As the standard.bbx
is something like the base style that biblatex
relies on, I could also find no hint that some other style file is required or relied on, where those macros could be defined.
Therefore my questions: Where are those commands defined, that are used in the .bbx
files, if they are not defined neither in the .bbx
itself nor in the standard.bbx
? Is there a simple way to find out, where those macros are defined?
I tried some of the solutions from How to find out where a macro is defined? but those don't seem to work for biblatex
's bibmacro
s.
url+urldate
(like some other bibmacros) is located inbiblatex.def
