| yesterday | comment | added | cfr | @wsmith please see edit, because I think it is better to do this inside the footnote and toggle it off afterwards. that is, I think this is less likely to run amok. | |
| yesterday | history | edited | cfr | CC BY-SA 4.0 | better fix, links |
| yesterday | comment | added | cfr | @wsmith too late ;) github.com/plk/biblatex/issues/1470 | |
| yesterday | comment | added | wsmith | @cfr thank you for your help. I will open an issue on github this weekend. | |
| yesterday | comment | added | cfr | @wsmith that is trickier. the best thing would probably be to use \FirstAidNeeded from latex-lab to apply the fix only for the current version of biblatex. if you apply it unconditionally, you'll get an error if an update to biblatex removes the toggle. that way, the user will also get warned if the fix is not longer used. | |
| yesterday | comment | added | wsmith | Very insightful post, thank you. Yes, the warning we can live with: I am writing a template for other people to use (who might need to change the style of the bibliography) and this is just the sort of thing I was worried about. | |

| yesterday | comment | added | cfr | @niru see edit above. if you prefer not to see the warning, just load biblatex before setspace and biblatex will not know its patches got clobbered. ignorance is bliss :-). | |

| yesterday | comment | added | niru | Hmm, that's complicated. | |
| yesterday | comment | added | cfr | @niru you will get the warning regardless. but, in most cases, it is just a warning. and the patch I proposed won't stop the warning. | |
| yesterday | comment | added | cfr | @niru but will it help to say 'if you are using a style which requires footnote detection, then ...'. I mean, I'm assuming people know which style they use, but how to know if it needs footnote detection or not? | |
| yesterday | comment | added | niru | I generally go with author-year (unless apa is absolutely required) and the file in which I got this warning also most probably had author-year, but I will check. | |
| yesterday | comment | added | niru | I think it's worth it to mention what the biblatex patch actually does, so that the user can make a conscious choice regarding "If we actually need the patched functionality biblatex provides [..]". | |
| yesterday | comment | added | cfr | @niru thanks. I guess it won't work to just tell everyone to use author-year ... :-) | |
| yesterday | comment | added | niru | I will check with my test files and ping you if I can reproduce it. | |
| yesterday | comment | added | cfr | @niru I would like a test case for my proposed fix, but I don't use this functionality in biblatex myself and I'm not entirely sure exactly which features/styles need it. | |
