尚权关注丨最高法发布8起环境污染犯罪典型案例

Question

In my text citations, I would like to have the following:

1 author   -> show 1 author
2 authors  -> show both authors
3+ authors -> show only one author et al

I've tried maxnames 1 and maxnames 2 but both didn't work.

sorry, I am new to this platform. My current setup is:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{etex}
\usepackage[style=authoryear, backend=biber, maxnames=2, minnames=1]{biblatex} 
\addbibresource{Quellen.Stand.19.05.25.bib}
\DeclareFieldFormat{url}{\textnormal{\url{#1}}}
\DeclareFieldFormat{urldate}{\textnormal{\url{#1}}}
\renewcommand*{\bibfont}{\normalfont\fontsize{8}{10}\selectfont}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage{xurl} %für Line-Breaks in URL
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage[colorlinks=true, linkcolor=cyan, urlcolor=cyan, citecolor=cyan]{hyperref}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{balance}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{booktabs} %für Tabellen
\usepackage{float} %damit Tabellen an meinem erwünschten Platz auftauchen
\usepackage{caption} %um Tabelle caption DInge zu tun
\usepackage{graphicx} % For including images
\usepackage[absolute,overlay]{textpos} % For positioning the image
\usepackage{multicol} %für Text in 2 Spalten
\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage{changepage}
\usepackage{makecell}

does that help?

Answer 1

I think that what you want is maxcitenames=2.

\documentclass{article}
\begin{filecontents}[overwrite]{mybib.bib}
@misc{A,   author="A",             title="Thoughts", year=3001}
@misc{AB,  author="A and B",       title="Thoughts", year=3002}
@misc{ABC, author="A and B and C", title="Thoughts", year=3003}
\end{filecontents}

\usepackage[style=authoryear, % or some other appropriate style
            natbib, % optional
            maxcitenames=2]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{mybib.bib}

\begin{document}
\citet{A}, \citet{AB}, \citet{ABC}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
