Support for asterisked (`\cite*{}) commands #74

Closed jackweinbender closed 5 years ago

jackweinbender commented 5 years ago

Perhaps there is a more idiomatic method within biblatex-sbl, but I'm looking for a way to suppress the author when using the \cite... command. I know standard biblatex styles use \cite*{...}, but that doesn't seem to work here.

I've followed the default verbose styles which do not support \cite* (and relatives). I notice there is a workaround at https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/262472/87678.

I'm not sure why the default verbose style don't support this, but I can't see why I couldn't add this feature.

Great. FWIW, the specific use case I'm dealing with is using \cite* in footnotes where I've already mentioned the author's name.

@jackweinbender , can you check if the latest commit does what you want?

I haven't tried it with every entry type, but, as far as I can tell, this is spot-on. Thanks!

One of these days I'm going to actually learn some TeX and contribute back to this project. Your work has been immensely helpful for me over the years (back to pre-biblatex days!).
