withoutshorthand not working

[Doc73]

Dear Maieul, I'm testing your package. Here is a MWE:

OT I add some missprints in doc:

pag. 6: Another solution is to make two lists: one with manuscripts with shorthands and one with manuscripts withoutshortands. You can add to your \printbibliography or \printshorthands commands a bibcheck option, equal to withshorthand or withoutshorthand

p. 7: could make LaTeXfinishing (without space)

[maieul]

please, use \jobname instead of non specific file name.

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}

I look on your problem.

[maieul]

all your manuscript have a shorthand, so it is normal that check=withoutshorthand] does not print any manuscript, as you ask for manuscript which have no shorthand!

[Doc73]

Ah!!!!!

Sorry if I bother you, but do you think it's possibile to add a sort of cite command that produce a \fullcite item with all the description, as in catalog of manuscripts?

[maieul]

yes, it could be possible, but please an new issue. I may look for this this week-end.

[Doc73]

Yes, but for now I'm trying to understand the behaviour of withoutshorthand and bibstyle=manuscripts-noautoshorthand

[maieul]

simple, but not in the same level:

• by default, the shorthands of the manuscripts are their citekeys
• bibstyle=manuscripts-noautoshorthand disable this feature
• bibcheck=withoutshorthand makes the bibliography retains only manuscripts which have no shorthand
• bibcheck=withshorthand makes the bibliography retains only manuscripts which have shorthand
