Following the guidelines in the biblatex documentation p. 68, I am adding useauthor
, useditor
, and usetranslator
to the options
field of an entry in my .bib
file:
@book{sweet1871,
AUTHOR = "{Pope Gregory I}",
TITLE = "King {A}lfred's {W}est-{S}axon version of {G}regory's {P}astoral {C}are",
YEAR = "1871",
EDITOR = "Henry Sweet",
LANGUAGE = "Old English",
LOCATION = "London",
NUMBER = "45",
OPTIONS = "useauthor = false, useeditor = true, usetranslator = false",
ORIGLANGUAGE = "Latin",
PAGETOTAL = "xlii + 509",
PUBLISHER = "N. Tr{\char"00FC}bner",
SERIES = "{E}arly {E}nglish {T}ext {S}ociety",
SUBTITLE = "With an {E}nglish translation, the {L}atin text, and an introduction",
TRANSLATOR = "{King Alfred}"
}
My .tex
file looks like this:
\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt, onecolumn, oneside, notitlepage]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec,xunicode,xltxtra} % XeLaTeX
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping = tex-text} % support TeX conventions like ``--''
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage[variant = american]{english}
\setmainfont{Linux Libertine O}
\usepackage{csquotes} % for language-specific quotation marks
\usepackage[style = numeric, sorting = none, language = american, abbreviate = true, backend = biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{ReferencesBiblatex.bib} % my catalog of references
\begin{document}
\cite{sweet1871}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
The output, however, does not come out right:
Not only are my specifications in the options
field ignored, but it's also not rendering the information about the original language correctly.
Here is my console output warnings:
Package biblatex Warning: Ignoring undefined option 'useauthor '
(biblatex) at entry 'sweet1871'.
Package biblatex Warning: Ignoring undefined option 'useeditor '
(biblatex) at entry 'sweet1871'.
Package biblatex Warning: Ignoring undefined option 'usetranslator '
(biblatex) at entry 'sweet1871'.
Package biblatex Warning: Bibliography string 'fromLatin' undefined
(biblatex) at entry 'sweet1871' on input line 158.
My question is - what I am doing wrong?
useauthor=false,

– Håkon Malmedal Jul 28 '12 at 17:47biber
doesn't accept spaces in the entries foruseauthor
,useeditor
, andusetranslator
. This could be considered a bug, and the authors ofbiber
responded and decided to fix it. I'm voting for reopening the question. – Sverre Apr 15 '13 at 10:18
