output of textcite #36

Closed u-fischer closed 2 years ago

I know citations are not really the purpose of the package, but I wonder nevertheless if the output of \textcite is actually intended:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=publist]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
\textcite{doody}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

It's a collateral effect of the code that assures extradate labels are appended to all works within a year (notwithstanding the author group) in omit mode. There does not seem to be a straightforward other solution to achieve this. See discussion at #19.

The more complex code @moewew provided at https://github.com/jspitz/biblatex-publist/issues/19#issuecomment-447573168 works around this issue but it breaks with pubstateextra=true (and I don't know with what else).

I am not sure addressing this and risking other breakage is worth it since, as you said, this package is not meant for citing. I could change the definition of \textcite within publist.cbx to omit the labelname in the citation. But then this would still break if people use a different citestyle.

Fixed as good as it gets at https://github.com/jspitz/biblatex-publist/commit/2376f03eba8c409c20dfbfc9847ef0c850240e32
