Re: tweak the insert citation button

[pierre-philipp braun]

Hello Jürgen,

thanks for both of your answers.  I was using the \let\cite\footcite 
trick already but there's a side effect: in footnotes, a \footcite 
brings some parenthesis around the citation.  I don't need the 
parenthesis.  I have asked tex.sx how to remove those but it would be 
better to have it fixed within LyX.

I've tried to validate your layout script but it always says it is 
invalid.  Eventhough I fixed the line breaks caused by email client 
formating, donno if it's mine or yours.  I will try 2.1beta2!

thanks,
pierre-philipp

How to tweak LyX to always produce \footcite instead of \cite?
\let\cite\footcite

With fortcoming LyX 2.1, you can also add a real \footcite command to the 
citation dialog. If you use "standard" citation (not natbib), paste the 
following to Document > Settings > Local Format (hit "Validate" before 
applying):

CiteEngine default
        cite[]
        footcite[]
        nocite
End

CiteFormat default
        # translatable bits
        _notcited not cited
        _addtobib Add to bibliography only.
        _footcite Foot:

        # macros
        !open [
        !sep ,
        !close ]

        !startlink {!<a href='#LyXCite-%clean:key%'>!}
        !endlink {!</a>!}

        !cite %!startlink%{%label%[[%label%]]
[[{%numericallabel%[[%numericallabel%]][[#%key%]]}]]}%!endlink%%!nextcite%

        !nextcite {%next%[[%!sep% %!cite%]]}
        !nexthashkey {%next%[[%!sep% #%key%%!nexthashkey%]]}
        !nextkey {%next%[[%!sep% %key%%!nextkey%]]}

        !textafter {%textafter%[[, %textafter%]]}

        # cite styles
        cite %!open%{%dialog%[[#ID]][[%!cite%]]}%!textafter%%!close%
	footcite %!open%{%dialog%[[%_footcite% #ID]][[%_footcite% 
%!cite%]]}%!textafter%%!close%
        nocite {%dialog%[[%_addtobib%]][[%key%%!nextkey% (%_notcited%)]]}
End
