mancitepar=false has no effect

wjordan commented 10 years ago

The 'mancitepar=false' feature doesn't seem to have any effect. Sample code:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[american]{babel} 
\usepackage[style=mla,mancitepar=false]{biblatex}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
  @book{A01,
    author = {Author, A.},
    year = {2001},
    title = {Alpha},
  }
\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\begin{document}
  ``text'' \autocite[1]{A01}.  

  ``text'' \autocite[2]{A01}.

  \printbibliography
\end{document}

The only workaround I managed to find is to remove the "mancitepar" entry from mla.cbx line 45 (\ExecuteBibliographyOptions), which sets mancitepar to false by default, making the above sample behave as expected.

Thanks for finding the problem and its fix! I need to look back to see when this error was introduced, but it's always possible I changed line 45 in a spree of troubleshooting (and then forgot to change it back).

I think I've figured out why it was misbehaving. A proper solution will need a new triggering mechanism, but your suggestion of setting it to false by default is preferable over keeping the problem live any longer. (Especially after 2 years...)
