I'm currently using biblatex and biber for my bibliography. While using bibstyle=alphabetic
and citestyle=alphabetic
generates the desired output, I want to edit the footcite format.
As you might guess, at the moment it outputs something like this:
I want to change the footcite format to be verbose
. Setting citestyle=verbose
solves the problem for the footnote but it also changes the citation in the text, what I don't want:
Is it possible to set bibstyle=alphabetic
, citestyle=alphabetic
and something like footcitestyle=verbose
?
So the whole document should look like this (I used Photoshop in order to put this together):
How can I achieve this?
Here is a MWE:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@online{ford,
author = {Ford, Rebecca},
title = {Earthquake: Twitter Users Learned of Tremors
Seconds Before Feeling Them},
date = {2011-08},
url = {http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/earthquake-twitter-users-learned-tremors-226481}
}
\end{filecontents}
\usepackage[backend=biber, natbib=true, backref=true, citestyle=alphabetic, bibstyle=alphabetic, labeldate]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
It is true that \cite{ford} is wrong.
Citing in a footnote\footcite{ford} might be adventurous.
\printbibliography
\end{document}
citestyle=verbose
in my text confuses the readers because it's hard to read the whole sentence. However, citing withcitestyle=alphabetic
in a footnote doesn't give the information I would expect in that place. But yeah, there might be different arguments and all are valid.\textcite
would be okay.\footfullcite
which should give a full citation in a footnote.
