I need to change some minor things in my bibliography. I'm using biblatex with biber.

  1. [done] How can I change the bibliography to be displayed in "\normalfont"? At the moment the title/subtitle/publisher/journal are in italic style and the url have a different style.

  2. [done] How can I add a colon after the author in every documenttype

  3. [done] Remove quotation marks around title in documenttype @article

  4. [done] In documenttype @article and @book add a "." between titel and subtitle "title. subtitle."

  • For point 4, you have a dot by default.

  • Yes but the problem is, that the colon is defined for the case there is a subtitle. I need to change this special case. --> [title. subtitle.] vs. [title: subtitle]

  • But I've just tested, adding a subtitle, and I do obtain dot. Your example code had no subtitles.

    Check you haven't redefined \subtitlepunct somewhere (you probably haven't). But you will need to change your bib entries. You have the title field manually set as title = {Washing Away Your Sins: Threatened Morality and Physical Cleansing}. You have to separate them out: title = {Washing Away Your Sins}, subtitle = {Threatened Morality and Physical Cleansing} Commented Mar 4, 2017 at 11:23
  • \normalfont is overkill. \DeclareFieldFormat[article]{journaltitle}{#1} is enough. You can combine the format for several types into one \DeclareFieldFormat [article,book,misc]{title}{#1}. If you want this for all entry types, go with \DeclareFieldFormat*{title}{#1}. (Note that your code gets harder to read if you drop the indentation.)

I could fix point 1, 2, 3 with the following commands:

\DeclareFieldFormat
[article]
{journaltitle}{\normalfont{#1}}

\DeclareFieldFormat
[book]
{title}{\normalfont{#1}}

\DeclareFieldFormat
[misc]
{title}{\normalfont{#1}}
\appto{\biburlsetup}{\renewcommand*{\UrlFont}{\normalfont}}

\DeclareFieldFormat
[book]
{title}{\normalfont{#1}}
\renewcommand{\labelnamepunct}{\addcolon\space}

\DeclareFieldFormat
[article]
{title}{#1}

\DeclareFieldFormat
[article]
{title}{#1}
  1. You can export the title in the right format with citavi

All solved :) Thank you guys.

  • Please have a look at my suggestions below your question regarding your \DeclareFieldFormats. BTW: You may want to remove the edit with the solution from your question, so content does not duplicate.
