Re: Help needed for changing style of \footcite

Thanks, but that solves the problem in only the case of one argument. However, 
\cite can take 3 arguments max - i.e. when citing a @COMMENTED... I found 
something similar in jurabib.sty (the definition of \footcite} where the 
original command is simply a test of how many arguments there are - and 
referring the rest to different functions (jb@footcite, jb@@footcite, 
jb@@@footcite), depending on how many arguments there are.

Thus, I adapted this piece of code to get:

\makeatletter
\newcommand*{\fc}{%
 \begingroup
  \jb@deactivate@babel%
  \@ifnextchar[{\fc@}{\fc@[]}}%
\newcommand*{\fcn@}{}%
\def\fc@{%
  \@ifnextchar[{\fcn@@}{\fcn@@[]}%
}
\def\fcn@@[#1]{%
  \@ifnextchar[{\fcn@@@[#1]}{\fcn@@@[][#1]}%
}
\def\fcn@@@[#1][#2]#3{%
  \footnote{~\cite[#1][#2]{#3}}%
 \endgroup
}
\makeatother

(I understand what that does, but would have never been able to come up with 
it myself - funny how you can use general programming knowledge from the 
past ;-) )

Thanks for your help!

Best regards, Stefan
