I'm using csquotes and the \blockcquote-command

\blockcquote[p. 42]{life}{
    my quote
}

Which shows up as the quote indented, and citation as Citation, p. 42. This is fine, but I need parentheses around it, so it doesn't look weird with the quote ahead of the reference.

I could do (and am doing as of now)

\blockcquote{}{
    my quote \citep[p. 42]{life}
}

But in this case I could just as easily just used something to indent the text. There is no need for csquotes, when I'm not using anything else than indentation.

I found this question, but the suggestions provided won't work for me. It lead me to believe that it has something to do with natbib, but I haven't found anything of relevance.

Thanks!

The csquotes package provides \SetCiteCommand, allowing you to set which cite command is used in all the cquote commands and environments (the default being \cite).

Putting \SetCiteCommand{\citep} in your preamble should give the desired result.

Source: csquotes package documentation, v5.2b, §8.6

  • I'm marking this as accepted because it directly answers my question, but I have not been able to test it as the need for the solution was no longer present at the time this answer came. Thanks anyway! =) – Esso Oct 05 '17 at 07:46

    Works for me. Note though that \SetCiteCommand has to be called after your call to your citation package, so \citep is defined. – DHW Dec 20 '17 at 15:12
