\uspunctuation, hyperref link quirk.

[dcpurton]

I notice that when \uspunctuation is active along with hyperref, the link for an enquoted field includes the beginning quotation mark, but not the ending quotation mark. It makes the output look a little odd, especially if links are coloured rather than boxed. e.g.,

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=verbose-note]{biblatex}
\usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@article{leyerle:1993,
  author = {Leyerle, Blake},
  title = {John Chrysostom on the Gaze},
  shorttitle = {Chrysostom},
  journaltitle = {Journal of Early Christian Studies},
  shortjournal = {JECS},
  volume = {1},
  date = {1993},
  pages = {159-174}
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\cite{leyerle:1993}.
\cite{leyerle:1993}.
\end{document}

@josephwright - were you looking at something to do with this previously?

This came up today on TeX.SX https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/550991/35864

The cheap workaround is to swap the problematic field formats

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=verbose-note]{biblatex}
\usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}

\renewbibmacro*{cite:short}{%
  \printnames{labelname}%
  \setunit*{\printdelim{nametitledelim}}%
  \printtext[citetitle]{%
    \printfield[bibhyperlink]{labeltitle}}}

\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\begin{document}
\cite{sigfridsson}.

\cite{sigfridsson}.
\end{document}

but that does not resolve the underlying issue.

And I'm not too enthusiastic about applying sweeping changes like this to the standard styles.

The above workaround does not appear to improve the citation of the shorttitle field for biblatex with style=sbl. @dcpurton, do you know if a similar workaround would be possible with biblatex-sbl?

[dcpurton]

@jjmccollum, the workaround is likely a little more complicated for biblatex-sbl. I'll take a look.

[dcpurton]

I can't believe I didn't think of doing this myself…

@jjmccollum, try adding this to your preamble and see if it helps:

\makeatletter
\renewbibmacro*{shorttitle}{%
  \iftoggle{blx@useshorttitle}
    {\iffieldundef{shorttitle}
       {\iffieldundef{title}
          {}
          {\ifbool{bbx@inset}
             {\printtext{\bibhyperlink{\strfield{setkey}}
                {\printtext[title]{\printfield[titlecase]{title}}}}}
             {\printtext[title]{%
                \printtext[bibhyperlink]{\printfield[titlecase]{title}}}}}}
       {\ifbool{bbx@inset}
          {\printtext{\bibhyperlink{\strfield{setkey}}
             {\printtext[title]{\printfield[titlecase]{shorttitle}}}}}
          {\printtext[title]{%
             \printtext[bibhyperlink]{\printfield[titlecase]{shorttitle}}}}}%
     \newunit}
    {}}
\makeatother

I haven't tested it thoroughly yet.

[jjmccollum]

@dcpurton, this works perfectly! Thank you so much. And thanks to @moewew for looking into a workaround in response to my TeX Stack Exchange question!

[dcpurton]

@jjmccollum There are some other places that changes need to be made. The revdshorttitle macro also needs to be adjusted if you make use of the @review entry type. And there might be some other changes needed too.
