Citation brackets using biblatex












1















I'm using biblatex for references and citations in my thesis.



usepackage[backend=biber, style=alphabetic, citestyle=authoryear]{biblatex}


gives me the author name in the text, but I would like to have brackets around it. How would I do that?

  • parencite gives you round brackets (parentheses). If you want square brackets a tad more work is needed. Do you really combine style=alphabetic, citestyle=authoryear,? If there is no other code to combine these two styles the output will be a bit odd.

With (cite)style=authoryear parencite gives you round brackets (parentheses) by default. It is possible to switch to square brackets as shown in Biblatex, author-year, square brackets. If you use biblatex-ext it is slightly more comfortable to do that with the command DeclareOuterCiteDelims.

            How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

            Image
            3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

            Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?

            0 I want to add Tabulator js to my java project. I added tabulator.min.js, tabulator.min.css to resources folder.

            Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

            Image
            up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
