BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Change font size of inline author-year citations

[karthikeyak]

I am using both \citep{bibkey} and \citet{bibkey} references, and I would like them to be 2 font sizes smaller than normal text. By selecting each reference and setting font size, this code is obtained:

Code: Select all

{\footnotesize \citep{bibkey}}

Can this be done for all references automatically in lyx?
If not, can someone help me with regexps for sed to change

Code: Select all

\citep{bibkey}

to

Code: Select all

{\footnotesize \citep{bibkey}}

where the p in \citep and bibkey are variable?
Thank you.

Could you try redefining the citep/citet macros like below?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[numbers]{natbib}
\begin{document}
This is the old:  \citep{Test} (vs Testing, 2014).
\let\realcitep\citep
\renewcommand*{\citep}[1]{{\footnotesize\realcitep{#1}}}
This is the new:  \citep{Test} (vs Testing, 2014).
\begin{thebibliography}{1}
  \bibitem{Test}
I. M. A. Test, J. Testing (2001) 1--1029.
\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}

That works splendidly.

Thank you.
