Is it possible to redefine \textcite
when using autocite=footnote
so that it places the the authors' names in the text but places the rest of the citation in a footnote? As it stands now, \textcite
prints the authors' names along with the year in the text. To me, the style I suggest seems like it would be more consistent.
For extra credit, would it be possible to omit the authors' names from the footnotes generated by this new version of \textcite
?
Here is a minimal example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=authoryear, autocite=footnote]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
A citation\autocite{knuth:ct:a} in a sentence.
Important works are those by \textcites{bertram}{markey}.
Another important work is by \textcite{knuth:ct:b}.
\textbf{Instead, I would like the output to be:}
A citation\autocite{knuth:ct:a} in a sentence.
Important works are those by \citeauthor{bertram} and \citeauthor{markey}\autocites{bertram}{markey}.
Another important work is by \citeauthor{knuth:ct:b}\autocite{knuth:ct:b}.
\end{document}
