Some basic BibLaTeX formatting?
I use BibLaTeX package and I'm the happier person in the world.
I use the verbose-trad. style in italian, and I would like to hack the way it represent bibliography references (as well as 1st appearance of citation)
1. 1st of all, I would love to substitute each "block" separator from a full stop (.) to a comma (,).
2. I would like to have all title (even incollection and articles titles) displayed in Italics, without quotations mark
3. Then, I would love to have journals name between quotation mark.
I couldn't find where to look at in the BibLaTeX manual, cause I'ma a LaTeX newbie...
Thanks!

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Some basic BibLaTeX formatting?
I think I don't need to create a new style, at leaste for request 2 and 3: for example, I found how to set all author names in smallcaps:
Code: Select all
\renewcommand*{\mkbibnamelast}[1]{\textsc{#1}}\renewcommand*{\mkbibnamefirst}[1]{\textsc{#1}}
But, of course, once my tweaks are ok, I can create my own "style", give it my name, and conquer the world.
Well, last passage is debatable.
So, while I'm waiting for BibLaTeX to be "stable" and styles not to be updated, if it is possible to work on "options" or "tweaks" I would stay with this.
Anyway if you can help me in any direction, I would be very grateful!
Thanks!
