General ⇒ Please bear with me: 2 urgent question due to thesis stress

[Mixhael]

hi all,

I am very aware of the forum-guidelines, but as I am in urgent need of answers and simultaneously need to spend all my time on the final chapter and conclusion of my thesis by tomorrow and I already tried to find out the answers to my questions with no results, I hope you will see this for once through the fingers...

If not: my bad, I will understand.

Anyway, the two questions are as follows:

1) I have included several pictures at the end of my document. When I include a listoffigures the numbering of picture-labels includes the last chapter (eg: 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 etc...). Question: how do I make sure they are only numbered as 1, 2, 3 etc..

2) I am using biblatex for my references. And the misc-type to quote interviews. My supervisor wants me to omit the year from citations. I know you can rewrite biblatex citations using latex itself. However I have no clue how. The citations apear now as follows: (authorname, year). how do I reconfigure it to show only authorname? biblatex command is: \usepackage[style=authoryear-ibid,hyperref]{biblatex}

Anyway: once more, if this isn't allowed I will well understood.

Hi,

for 1), add (in the preamble of your document) the following lines:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithout{figure}{chapter}

thanks!

as for question two, I thus mean to change the misc type in order references to it will be written as (authorname) instead (authorname, year)
