Sammanfattning

This example shows how to create citations in footnotes using biblatex. Biblatex automatically formats references and citations, much like BibTeX, but biblatex is more robust and more powerful. You can (almost certainly) use your existing .bib databases with biblatex, it comes with a wide variety of styles built in, and it's much easier to write your own custom styles.

In this example, we use the verbose-ibid style to generate footnotes with automatic “ibid.” abbreviations. For a full list of styles, see the user guide in the biblatex manual.

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

% For alternative styles, see the biblatex manual:
% http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex/doc/biblatex.pdf
%
% The 'verbose' family of styles produces full citations in footnotes, 
% with and a variety of options for ibidem abbreviations.

\usepackage[style=verbose-ibid,backend=bibtex]{biblatex}
\bibliography{sample}
