After reading that the warning, Package biblatex Warning: Patching footnotes failed.
is generated due to a redefinition of \@footnotetext
by beamer I tried to retain its definition with the following patch. However, after compiling the document I noticed all my citations in the footnotes were gone. I use \footcitetext
together with \footnotemark
to have references in the footnotes.
\makeatletter
\let\predefinedfootnotetext\@footnotetext
\makeatother
\documentclass[10pt, xcolor = {dvipsnames}, presentation]{beamer} % xcolor is already loaded with beamer
\makeatletter
\let\@footnotetext\predefinedfootnotetext
\makeatother
Beamer patching footnotes warning: "Patching footnotes failed. Footnote detection will not work."
Such as the above most of the answers on this site suggest using the silence
package, yet I wonder how to remedy this issue correctly. Some suggest editing the sty files, but it seems to be a daunting task.
What is the scope of this problem, when are you bound to run into trouble?
verbose
-type styles or make a distinction between footnote and in-text citation and use other intricate features does it become relevant. In most other cases it can be safely ignored (or silenced).biblatex
developers include this in thebiblatex
code.biblatex
bug tracker for this (github.com/plk/biblatex/issues/581). So if there is a solution here that can be implemented inbiblatex
, that would be great.
