Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Citation Footnote in Figure Caption

[Hijacker]

Hi there,

I already searched Google and the forums, but to no avail. I am using \usepackage[style=footnote-dw]{biblatex} in my document and I want to use a citation in the caption of a figure. It correctly puts the citation number at the position, but it doesn't put the footnote with the citation information in the footer. I do deliver both the optional and the regular parameters to caption. I also tried using \protect, but all of it won't put the citation footnote on the page. How can I fix this?

MWE:
Test1.tex

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,oneside,11pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[style=footnote-dw]{biblatex}
\bibliography{test1}

\begin{document}
This is a testsentence with a working citation in the footnote\cite[p.~1]{test01}.

\newpage

\begin{figure}
		\includegraphics{test.png}
	\caption[Testpic]{Testpic\protect\cite[p.~3]{test01}}
	\label{fig:testpic}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

test1.bib

Code: Select all

@BOOK{test01,
   AUTHOR="John Doe",
   TITLE="Testbook",
   PUBLISHER="Testpublisher",
   YEAR=2001,
   ADDRESS="Fakecity",
   EDITION="4."
}

So apparently I'm lost on my own with this, hm? :/

Yes, you are. The problem concerns, in general, footnotes in captions, which are very difficult to get. If the matter would deal with ordinary footnotes, perhaps a solution could be devised. But it involves the internals of biblatex. So, if I were you,... I would choose a different citation scheme or avoid citations in captions.

*sigh* OK, thanks for the heads up.

Is there anything known about the package authors working on this problem? I'd say this is a rather critical issue and I'm probably not the only one facing it.
