footbib | Mixing Footnotes and Citations in Footer

Post by Amazon »

Hello,

I'm writing a document where I'd like to have citations, preferably as footnotes. So naturally I thought that the footbib package could work well. However I would also like to have footnotes, but mixing these two gets pretty ugly. The appearance can be seen in the attachment.

Is there some way to have both footnote-citations and "normal" footnotes somehow? Maybe I should drop using footbib and hack together some command that will insert a citation in a footnote?

Thank you for your replies.

Would switching to biblatex be an option for you?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=authoryear]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}

Text\footnote{A footnote} more text\footfullcite{companion} and even more text\footcite{knuth:ct:a}. 

\printbibliography

\end{document}

Thanks for the suggestion Clemens, biblatex seems to work quite well.
