Q: I need to cite a classical author

8:02 AM

I have a problem with my [TeXshop] and my bibliography. I need to cite a classical author, concrete Plinio el viejo, but when I compile my tex the biblio say el viejo, Plinio. Someone know what can I for solve it? I use the biblatex package.

Don't we already have about a dozen of the same question? I think the duping rate needs to raise a little bit.

Hallo TeX-LaTeX friends! Just a curiosity... why did nobody comment here: meta.tex.stackexchange.com/a/3428/101651 or here: meta.tex.stackexchange.com/a/3429/101651?

@CarLaTeX I have no idea!

@PauloCereda It's strange... all the other answers of the poll have comments... I think these two ones could be interesting because sometimes there are gorgeous answers/questions with few votes...

@CarLaTeX The thread is very, very long and the format is not exactly suitable for a poll, so my guess is that those questions got buried in a sea of entries, so it drew little to no attention. Besides, the thread is old, and the community was smaller back then...

@PauloCereda Yes, I, too, think that the thread is too long... however those two topics deserve a discussion... I'll suggest the OPs to create separate question.

@CarLaTeX probably because no one saw it, but having looked I don't understand that meta question or that specific non-answer at all, what are you supposed to comment or vote on?

@JosephWright I was under the impression that Meta questions tagged bug are automatically put under attention of the Powers.

@DavidCarlisle I don't know if I have correctly understood, I think that you could indicate in a comment the question/answer you prefer, regardless of the votes that it received

Joseph Wright

@egreg They do check them from time to time

egreg

@JosephWright Well, @yo' asked something similar almost two years ago, with no reaction: meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6005/…

@JosephWright Not to mention meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5978/… (which I hadn't seen)

Joseph Wright

@egreg I'll prod the Powers

@CarLaTeX I don't understand the question well enough to have an opinion on the answer

egreg

@JosephWright It's not a trifle: it invalidates code and answers. :(

@DavidCarlisle I asked the OPs to post a new different question, maybe they'll clarify...

@egreg indeed. And it does so completely silently... :(

Short off-topic question to the radio listeners out there: Is Cheap Thrills by Sia played in the plain version, or as the Sean Paul remix?

@DavidCarlisle Thanks for the very quick help.

@DavidCarlisle I wasn't aware that there are sp many packages that you made.

@DavidCarlisle sp --> so

@Dr.ManuelKuehner and @egreg will confirm there is not a bug in any of them.

is there a key you can hit in texmaker that removes your ability to type/edit a document? I ask because all of a sudden it isn't letting me type at all.

refreshing did work, thankfully, but just out of curiousity.

@Johannes_B -- i'm sure there are quite a few questions that might be duplicates, but i looked quite hard and couldn't find one, so since that question has a decent answer, i put it into the often referenced questions list so that others, when found, can be easily cited as dupes (or, if better examples, replace this entry).
