LyX ⇒ full citation in footnotes

[francis73]

Hi,

I am a noob. I want to insert a full citation (author year title) in the footnotes. But I am at a loss on how to go about doing this in LyX.

cheers

Hi and welcome, I am no LyX user so i can't be of much help. The LyX-wiki article on BibTeX might be a good starting point.
I strongly recommend to use the modern and flexible package biblatex (can also be found on the wiki page).

I am used to using LaTeX directly, and the command should be fullcite.

One of the LyX-developers described LyX to be a tool for advanced LaTeX users.

Thanks for the advice, Johannes_B.

I'm now giving LaTeX a try for my writing projects instead of going the seemingly easier route of LyX. It is a steep learning curve and I have a thousand more questions of how to get things to work.

I haven't figure out how to get \fullcite to work yet. But I will look around.

I guess a good start would be to read some short introductory material, this is much more economical than searching bits of code on the internet.

I recommend to read LaTeX for complete novices.

Code: Select all

\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
	@book{zeilenumbruchBibliographielinks,
		author = {TeXwelt},
		title  = {Zeilenumbrüche in Bibliografielinks},
		url    = {http://texwelt.de/wissen/fragen/7008/},
		urldate = {2012-10-02}
	}
	@book{bibliographieUnterteilen,
		author = {TeXwelt},
		title  = {Wie unterteile ich meine biblatex Bibliografie?},
		url    = {http://texwelt.de/wissen/fragen/7532/}
	}
\end{filecontents}

\documentclass[bibliography=totoc]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{selinput}
\SelectInputMappings{
	udieresis={ü}
}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[backend=biber,
	style=numeric,
]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\section{Zusatzinfos}
\citetitle{bibliographieUnterteilen}

Wie kann ich Links besser
trennen?\footcite{zeilenumbruchBibliographielinks}

This will be a full cite: \fullcite{bibliographieUnterteilen}
\printbibliography
