Hi,
I'm new to LaTeX. Things had been going swimmingly until I hit a piece of text saying something to the end of:
"... Smith's (2002, 2004)..."
I know how to do the multiple references, but not the apostrophe and 's' on the end of Smith. My BibTeX file has references like Smith_creation_2002 and Smith_destruction_2004. No idea how to bring the ownership apostrophe in here. Any ideas for this example?
Thanks in advance
BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Author Ownership, e.g., Smith's (2002, 2004)

harvard has \possessivecite, but most packages don't have anything to do that. Assuming you're using natbib: either write "Smith's \citeyearpar{...}", or "\citeauthor{...}'s \citeyearpar{...}", or write your own \citeg (or whatever you want to call it. "possessivecite" is a horrid name; "g" is for "genitive"), but it seems like a reasonably complicated thing to do in general...Dutty_Sutty wrote:Hi,
