I'm using footnote-dw for my dissertation, which includes some classical works. For those, I'd like to ideally:

  1. Use Bekker reference: Aristotle, Poet. 1451a35.
  2. The first mention, I want to give a note: All quotes from the Poetics are cited after [edition].

I found this question, and was trying to use the solution by "jon", which uses no additional packages, but defines a new command: \newcommand{\metaphys}[1]{\emph{Met.}\@ #1\nocite{ross1924}\mancite}%. But that doesn't work, latex gives me an error about "nocite".

Besides doing what I want manually (probably for No 2 the solution is just a simple footnote), is there a good, clean solution for this? Is there a way to adapt jon's solution for footnote-dw?

  • The link seems to have been omitted from the question, but I'm guessing you are referring to https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/31286/35864. Can you show us exactly what you tried and how it did not work for you? I naively tried https://gist.github.com/moewew/7ff15024f87b294ee35ea2bd86527977 and that worked in principle. – moewe Jul 15 '22 at 11:27
  • Oh, I for got to post the link, but that's the one! Unlike in your example, I'm using biblatex style "footnote-dw". I get the error: Use of \nocite doesn't match its definition. I'm thinking maybe footnote-dw changes \nocite in some way? Also, I defined the new command within the document, right before the first time I needed it, not in the preamble. – BonoEstente Jul 15 '22 at 14:48
  • Even if I change style=authoryear in my example document to style=footnote-dw I cannot reproduce an error. – moewe Jul 15 '22 at 18:56
  • It's weird, it went away, maybe some stale aux files. – BonoEstente Jul 30 '22 at 21:51
