BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Formatting for Citations in Footnotes and Bibliography

[korgman]

I would like to cite sources in footnotes like this:

[first name] [last name], ...

and in the bibliography like this:

[last name], [first name]: ...

The changing of the names and also the comma after the last name in the bibliography is no problem. But I can't get the comma and colon switching to work. I can either have commas or colons all the time but can't figure out how to just change it in the bibliography. I use the biblatex package:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[style=verbose-ibid,citepages=suppress]{biblatex}

Any ideas?

Just for information to other users for awareness of possibly already existing solutions. The question has also been posted to MrUnix (German LaTeX forum). Please read what our administrator thinks about that.

A crossposting is always contra-productive. But there is nothing really against it as long as it is mentioned. This means that a direct link has to be added. So other users who want to help are preserved from double efforts and waste of time.

This is the third posting in a row of this kind. One more crossposting is not acceptable!

It is irrelevant if there are users who visit both boards. It's rather about those who don't because they might work out a solution and don't have the slightest idea that there might already exists another one where else.
