Two questions about authors in bibliography. I am working on the Overleaf platform
First.
If some reference has two or more authors, LaTeX prints «and» before the last author (or the corresponding translation «e», because I am Italian). But I need to delete this conjunction, in order to have only a comma between authors.
Second.
The problem concerns authors that have two or more given names (exempli gratia: John Simon Bercow; Charles Howard McIlwain). Ok to have only initials for given names, but I prefer also that there is no space between the two or more initials of given names: so, I would like have something like: J.S. Bercow or C.H. McIlwain.
Moreover, i prefer too that names are in small-capital letters, but I know that there is the command \DeclareNameWrapperFormat{author}{\mkbibsc{#1}}
. This is the only option that guarantees me the small capital letter, if I set also the command \DeclareNameAlias{author}{given-family}
, in order to have first the given name (or given names) and then the family name [in fact, I noted that this command is no compatible with “scauthorsbib” of \usepackage[bibstyle=philosophy-verbose,citestyle=authoryear,scauthorsbib=true,scauthorscite=false,giveninits=true]{biblatex}
].
On the other hand, between the givennames and the surname of authors (and editors, or translators etc.), I would like to have the space reinforced with the tilde, in order that there is no possibility ofinterruption at the end of the line (so, something like: P.~Grossi, G.~Lattanzi, J.S.~Bercow).
So, in conclusion, I ask for something like:
P. Grossi, G. Lattanzi, J.S. Bercow, Mitologie giuridiche della modernità, Giuffrè, Milano 2007.
Thanks.
P.S. Just before confirming posting this announce, I found this command:
\AtBeginBibliography{%
\renewcommand*{\finalnamedelim}{%
\ifnumgreater{\value{liststop}}{2}{\addcomma}{}%
\addspace}%
Perhaps, that's what I needed, concerning my first question.
