biblatex | Use of Volumes in '@techreport'

Post by ddenton »

Anyone know if one can use the Volumes field to indicate the number of volumes in a work, within the Techreport type? Does this depend on whether an individual style uses the field? Are there any that do?

The manual does not indicate the "volumes" field as being valid and I tried it out unsuccessfully with a couple of styles.

What, then, is the best way to handle the number of volumes within an entry type like Techreport? Should I use the "note" field: e.g. note = {4 Volumes}?

It would be very kind and just fair if you mention when doing a crossposting [1]*. This prevents others from double efforts and waste of time.
