Style citations as footnotes

Post by garydoyle1986 »

I have two bibliographies like so:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{multibib}
\newcites{misc}{References}
\newcites{games}{Games}
...
\bibliographystylemisc{alpha}
\bibliographymisc{misc}
\bibliographygames{games}
These work fine but I want to format the "games" citation style and don't know how. I want the citation to appear as the name of the game followed by a subscript number (like the way a footnote does) but with the number matching the correct game in the bibliography.

e.g. Monopoly5 is a popular ... (but the 5 is subscript)
Game Bibliography
1. Cluedo, 1955, etc.
...
5. Monopoly, etc.

Any help is appreciated.

No takers because it's a hard question or a stupid one?

Probably because it's hard, but you should know that people are much more likely to try helping if you provide an actual minimal working example showing the problem. (In this case, it would require also minimal bib files to along with the example.) It's both more work, and less likely to be helpful, if we have to resort to guesswork about the layout of these things. See also the Post on Avoidable Mistakes.
