I'm quite new to Latex in general, and I'm trying to write a document using Chicago style citation. I have used the package Chicago-Biblatex to try to achieve this.

At the moment, everything is working well, and I am using \autocite for each footnote. However, I have two footnotes referencing the same citation, and the first footnote is the full citation, and the second footnote is an abbreviated footnote.

The abbreviated footnote is in blue since it is clickable in the PDF (bringing you to the first footnote). I would like to make this abbreviated footnote in black and non-italicized and to remove the hyperlink if possible.

Here is the original, full length citation: Original, full length citation

Here is the shortened citation that I want to make normal text (non-italicized), and black Shortened citation with different color

Code:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage{hyperref}

\usepackage{ftnxtra}

\hypersetup{
    colorlinks,
    linkcolor={red!50!black},
    citecolor={blue!50!black},
    urlcolor={blue!80!black}
}

\newcommand*{\footnotemarkcolor}{black}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*{\@makefnmark}{\hbox{\@textsuperscript{%
   \color{\footnotemarkcolor}\normalfont\@thefnmark}}}
\makeatother

\usepackage[english]{babel}

The field format that is used for those short citations is called citetitle, so I just used the same format you set for title also for citetitle, but you can change that as you wish.

We can disable the links biblatex-chicago produces for citations by disabling the macro \cmshyper. (Though I wouldn't do that, those links are really convenient.)

  • Hey, thanks very much! The only problem when trying to use your code is that I get the error code: "Package etoolbox Error: \cmshyper undefined".

  • @10forever Are you using an older version of biblatex-chicago? I'm using the current version that identifies as 2020/04/20 v 3.14 in the .log file and Version 2.0 (April 20, 2020) in the documentation. You may want to update your TeX system.
