BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Remove square brackets in bibliography only (biblatex)

[fifo]

Dear community,


this is my first question in this forum ever, after having a lot of problems solved by your solutions By now I generate my bibliography and all inline citations with biblatex as follows.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{scrbook}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[
   backend=biber,
   style=alphabetic,
   sorting=anyt,
   minalphanames=1,
   maxalphanames=1,
]{biblatex}

\addbibresource{MWE.bib}

\begin{document}

This is an example text with an inline citation of \textcite{Hounsfield.1973}. 

\printbibliography

\end{document}

This results in the reference label (I don't know the exact expression for it, I mean the [Hou73]) being enclosured in square brackets in inline citations as well as in the bibliography. I try to achieve that square brackets are removed from the reference label in the bibliography only. Hence, the square brackets must remain in the inline citation.

After spending hours of searching I did not come up with a working solution for biblatex yet. So I kindly ask for your support

At least you have to change labelalphawidth using the \DeclareFieldFormat command. If i am wrong, you would also have to make the second change in the linked source.

Thank you very much!

Code: Select all

\DeclareFieldFormat{labelalphawidth}{#1}

did the trick.
