Document Classes ⇒ Customizing BibLaTeX

[R. Geppert]

Hi,

I would like to get BibLaTeX customized in the following way, but can't find anything in the docu.
I hope somebody has got some hints for me.

a) Authorname in the bibliography should be small caps instead of normalfont
b) recurring authors shall not be abbreviated by an em dash but rather a long line
both should be formatted in the way the style siam does

here two examples:

BibLaTeX:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,english]{scrreprt}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[babel,english=american]{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=verbose]{biblatex}
\bibliography{references}
\begin{document}
abc\footcite{Ryan2007}
def\footcite{Ryan2008}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

siam style:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,english]{scrreprt}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[babel,english=american]{csquotes}
\begin{document}
abc\cite{Ryan2007}
def\cite{Ryan2008}
\bibliography{references}
\bibliographystyle{siam}
\end{document}

bib file: references.bib

thx for any help

edit:
alright, figured out the cmall caps problem with:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\mkbibnamelast}[1]{\textsc{#1}}
\renewcommand*{\mkbibnamefirst}[1]{\textsc{#1}}

the thing with the long dash remains:
i tried things like:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\bibnamedash}{%
  \ifdim\leftmargin<0.75em
    \mbox{\textemdash\space}%
  \else
    \makebox[\leftmargin][l]{%
      \ifdim\leftmargin<1.25em
        \textendash
      \else
        \hrule{0.9cm}{0.5pt}
      \fi}%
  \fi}

but that doesn't work...any idead?

for the purpose of completeness;

a very nais solution has been provided by "rais"

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*\bibnamedash{\rule[1ex]{23pt}{0.3pt} }

Mentioning the fact that you posted this request to another forum would have been nice.
