Like the title says. I have supranotes=true
in the options for the package. I have two footnotes (made with \footcite{}
) with another footnote in between so I don't just get "ibid". But still the footnote is printed with the usual information, no "supra". The biblatex-chicago manual says "you’ll only see it in certain sorts of citation, automatically controlled by biblatex-chicago in accordance with the Bluebook specification". What kind of citations are these?
1 Answer
Checking the sources of biblatex-chicago
we find supra
related content in the bibmacros cite:short:legislation
, cite:short:legal
and cite:shorthand:legal
which are applied to their respective entrytypes: legislation
and legal
.

1That makes sense since the Bluebook is a style guide for legal citations and the CMS defers to the Bluebook when it comes to citations of case law and legislations.– moeweNov 22, 2018 at 19:06

Oh, I see. I only tried for the
@book
and@article
bibliography entry types so that's why it doesn't work. But I think it's correct to use supra for anything. I've seen other authors in law use it for articles for example. Do you know if I can expand it to work for other entry types?– user.SNov 22, 2018 at 21:42 -
@user.S What is "correct" or "incorrect" is a matter of standard, and
biblatex-chicago
tries to follow the Chicago Manual of Style.– gusbrsNov 22, 2018 at 22:46
