I'm using csquotes package with biblatex. There is a number of citations that require multiple references, which can be introduced with the \autocites command --- e.g. second hand citations (“cited in“ ou “apud”).
However, \blockcquote[<pre>][<post>]{<Ref>}{<citation>} accepts only single citations. Is that right? have I missed something?
To revert this, I'm using a simple \blockquote{...\autocites[pre1][post1]{ref1}[pre2][post2]{ref2}\relax} (the \relax [or a line break] is being required sometimes). But this way, the \autocite command doesn't respect the global citation style, resulting in a more simplified citation.
By the way, i'm working with the verbose-trad3 style.
Here's a compilable example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}% To add the contents of the .bib file in the .tex file
\begin{filecontents}{bibliography.bib}
@book{test1,
author = {John Doe},
title = {Example book to be cited},
address = {Nowhere},
publisher = {Some Publisher},
year = {1990},
}
@book{test2,
author = {Jane Smith},
title = {A book that cites the former},
address = {Somewhere},
publisher = {A Publishing House},
year = {2010},
}
@book{test1a,
author = {Jane Deo},
title = {Title for a first test},
address = {Location},
publisher = {Publisher 1},
year = {2010},
}
@book{test2a,
author = {John Sthim},
title = {Title for a first test to cite another one},
address = {Address},
publisher = {Publisher 2},
year = {2010},
}
\end{filecontents}
\usepackage[style=verbose-trad3]{biblatex}
\bibliography{bibliography}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\SetCiteCommand{\autocite}
\SetBlockEnvironment{quotation}
\newcommand{\loremipsum}{% I did this because using the lipsum package, the reference appeared in a new line

\begin{document}
A block quotation with the multiple citation --- note that the author name, for example, appears reduced to its surname (even in the first citation):
\blockquote{\loremipsum\autocites(Some global pre-note)(some global post-note)[some local pre-note][100]{test1a}[apud][200]{test2a}\relax}
A first block quotation, with a full citation of \texttt{test1} ref.:
\blockcquote[some pre-note][100]{test1}{\loremipsum}
A first block quotation, with a full citation of \texttt{test2} ref.:
\blockcquote[some pre-note][100]{test2}{\loremipsum}
A second block quotation, with a shortened citation of \texttt{test1} ref.:
\blockcquote[some pre-note][200]{test1}{\loremipsum}
A second block quotation, with a shortened citation of \texttt{test2} ref.:
\blockcquote[some pre-note][200]{test2}{\loremipsum}
A block quotation with the multiple citation --- note that the author name, for example, appears reduced to its surname:
\blockquote{\loremipsum\autocites(Some global pre-note)(some global post-note)[some local pre-note][100]{test1}[apud][200]{test2}\relax}
\end{document}
\blockcquoteindeed accepts only single citations. With regard to your workaround and\autocitenot respecting the global citation style, please provide a compilable example. – lockstep Jun 3 '11 at 19:53
