Incorporate the usage of APA citation style into the package and documents #114

Closed hochleitner closed 3 years ago

hochleitner commented 3 years ago

The usage of the APA citation style in its 7th edition is a widely requested feature. The following things need to be adapted/added.

HgbThesisTutorial itself will not be "converted" to APA since the need for additional citation macros with the APA style would mean that all the citations need to be replaced. This, in turn, would mean maintaining two separate tutorial documents, which need to be kept in sync.

Please add any ideas and suggestions below. This will be done throughout the Christmas holidays and should be available for the coming summer semester.

Branch apa-switch now contains a document option apa which switches the biblatex-style in hgbbib.sty. The CTAN manual has been updated accordingly. Please test and add a section in the tutorial as planned (I strongly agree that the tutorial itself should not be switched to APA).

The above changes are in the master branch now (by PR https://github.com/Digital-Media/HagenbergThesis/pull/115), branch apa-switch has been removed.

Okay, so this took waaaay longer for me to write than I'd like to admit. But there's PR #116 out there containing two new, APA-based base-documents for HgbThesis and has a section in the HgbThesisTutorial that explains how to use APA and gives some examples. @imagingbook, please look at it and adapt/expand if you feel something's missing or should be done differently.
