6.6.1 Tweaking biblatex footnote citations

The defaults from biblatex are either author year, or author title styles in biblatex, i prefer to have author, journal title, year in the footnote citations. To achieve this, I have to manually edit the authoryear.cbx style located in the following folder:

/usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/tex/latex/biblatex/cbx

This is needed when texlive updates, and say, for texlive 2019, the folder would then be:

/usr/local/texlive/2019/texmf-dist/tex/latex/biblatex/cbx

The edits to the file are the follwing:

Change

\ExecuteBibliographyOptions{labeldateparts,uniquename,uniquelist,autocite=inline} # that last part

to

\ExecuteBibliographyOptions{labeldateparts,uniquename,uniquelist,autocite=footnote} # that last part

and

\newbibmacro*{cite}{%
  \iffieldundef{shorthand}
    {\ifthenelse{\ifnameundef{labelname}\OR\iffieldundef{labelyear}}
       {\usebibmacro{cite:label}%
        \setunit{\printdelim{nonameyeardelim}}}
       {\printnames{labelname}%
        \setunit{\printdelim{nameyeardelim}}}%
     \usebibmacro{cite:labeldate+extradate}}
   
    {\usebibmacro{cite:shorthand}}}

to

\newbibmacro*{cite}{%
  \iffieldundef{shorthand}
    {\ifthenelse{\ifnameundef{labelname}\OR\iffieldundef{labelyear}}
       {\usebibmacro{cite:label}%
        \setunit{\printdelim{nonameyeardelim}}}
       {\printnames{labelname}%
        \setunit{\printdelim{nameyeardelim}}}%
     \usebibmacro{cite:labeldate+extradate}}
     \setunit{\addcomma\space}%       # these two lines added
     \usebibmacro{journal}            # these two lines added
    {\usebibmacro{cite:shorthand}}}

6.7 This document

This document is made with bookdown, and I produce html, pdf and word files simultaneousely. Most of the table making functinos are really good at either, but not all. To be able to achieve multiple outpot formats, I make use of a hack, that evaluates r-chunks conditionally from the output format.

You are invited to contribute. The reposistory for this book is stored at: https://bitbucket.org/tormodboe/, and you are welcome to fork, make pull requests and make other contributions.

In the start of the document is the following chunk:

is_docx_output = function() {
 knitr::opts_knit$get("rmarkdown.pandoc.to")=="docx"
}
is_latex_output = function() {
 knitr::opts_knit$get("rmarkdown.pandoc.to")=="latex"
}
is_html_output = function() {
 knitr::opts_knit$get("rmarkdown.pandoc.to")=="html"
}

This captures the document output format. I then use this information to produce tables suitable for html output like this:

{r, eval=!is_latex_output(), results='asis', echo = T}
texreg::htmlreg(list(m1, m2, m3), doctype = F, caption = "texreg table")

and for pdf output (through latex) using this:

{r, eval=is_latex_output(), results='asis', echo = T}
texreg::texreg(list(m1, m2, m3), caption = "texreg table")

6.8 Is is really worth it?
