I'm trying to use biblatex-dw
and the crossref
functionality to make my bibliography more structured and easier to edit. I'm using the mvcollection
, collection
, and incollection
types for the inheritance/tree structure. My problem is that when I define things as in the MWE below, the footnote comes out wrong.
What I want to achieve -- but only for the archival document types -- is to organize the data into a hierarchy, starting with the most detailed (i.e. the specific document) and ending with the leaste detailed (i.e. the archive institution where the archive is situated):
document - volume - archive - archive institution
Therefore, the date would look strange at the end of the line as it refers to the document and not the archive institution. I think it looks much better if the data is clustered. But for normal references like books and articles, I agree the default biblatex ordering is great.
See image example below.
Update: I also tried this with biblatex-chicago
and the same thing happens there.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=biber,citestyle=verbose-ibid,style=footnote-dw,autocite=footnote,idembibformat=dash,idemtracker=false,pageref=true,xref=true, date=iso8601]{biblatex}
\begin{filecontents*}{refs.bib}
@mvcollection{MA,
title = {Museum archives},
}
@collection{ClockExhib,
crossref = {MA},
title = { Clocks Project},
}
@incollection{foo,
crossref = {ClockExhib},
author = {Committee},
title = {Meeting notes},
volume = 1,
date = {1979-11-19},
}
\end{filecontents*}
\bibliography{refs}
\begin{document}
This is a document.\autocites{foo}
\end{document}
I want to change the order of the details (and as a bonus also learn how to change the field separators...commas, dots, or whatever).
Any ideas would be much appreciated. By the way, I really want to stick to biblatex-dw.
Actual output of footer:
Desired output:
biblatex
provides seems more logical to me, with the possible exception of the placing of thedate
in this particular case.
