Dear Dominik,
thanks!
The next thing is, I gave you not the correct hint, since it's not
date=long, but urldate=long for the urldate. Note that the month
will
come out abbreviated as long as you use 'abbreviate=true' (which
is the default). Thus, for a full month, you should use the options
'urldate=long' and 'abbreviate=false'.
I have entered that now.
Interestingly, the other abbreviations are still there ("Hrsg.",
"Bd."), and the month is now displayed as abbreviated word of the
month, e.g. "(besucht am 15.Jan.2005)".
I cannot reproduce that. Are you sure that abbreviate=false is set
and active?
\usepackage[natbib=true,style=footnote-
dw,urldate=long,abbreviate=false]{biblatex}
This is the only line I entered regarding biblatex.
Do you have other settings in biblatex.cfg? Which versions are you
using? You can easily check the versions by adding \listfiles to
your preamble, then a file list is appended to the .log file. I use
the following package versions:

So – I should update, hm?
Is there any special way in which I would have to enter the calendar
date in BibDesk?
e.g.: urldate = {2009-11-20}
For further details see the biblatex documentation
That´s the way I entered the dates…
Is there also a possibility to get a blank space before the month’s
name?
It should be there, and it is in my documents. So you seem to have
altered something that causes this behaviour. If I use your minimal
example you sent earlier and add the biblatex options
'urldate=long,abbreviate=false', everything is fine (and the
abbreviations disappear).
Okay, here the minimal example has the same problems. Maybe I should
just update biblatex-dw, and try again?
In the minimal example you could see everything I have entered in my
document. Is there anything I have changed, which I don´t see?
8<----------------------------------->8
\DefineBibliographyStrings{ngerman}{%
november = {November}
}
8<----------------------------------->8
In this case I get the following error:
Package babel Error: You haven't loaded the option ngerman yet.
and I don´t know what this means…
My example uses the language 'ngerman' which you have adapt if you
are using another language like 'english' or 'german' or whatever.
In your example you had the following line:
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
So I assume that you are using 'ngerman' as your default language
and the above example should work.
Yes, I use "ngerman". I´m going to update now, maybe this is changing
something.
Thank you again, best*
Jess
