Using biblatex-publist to add talks to a CV

TeX - LaTeX Asked on March 21, 2021

I use the biblatex-publist style to put my publications on my CV. I’d like to do something similar for my talks. The problem is that they get printed only with the year, and I’d like the date too. Here is a MWE:

% !TEX program = xelatex
documentclass{memoir}

usepackage{csquotes}
usepackage[backend=biber, bibstyle=publist]{biblatex}
omitname[Thomas]{Hodgson}
addbibresource{talks_mwe.bib}

begin{document}

section{Talks}
begin{refsection}[talks_mwe]
nocite{*}
printbibliography[heading=none]
end{refsection}

end{document}

And some BibLaTeX records:

@misc{one,
Author = {Hodgson, Thomas},
Title = {One},
Year = {2013-01-01}}

@misc{two,
Author = {Hodgson, Thomas},
Title = {Two},
Year = {2012-01-01}}

That does what I want, but the date is in ISO format. I’d like it to be more readable and preferably in the British Day-Month-Year style.

I suppose that there are two parts to this question:
(i) Is there an easy way, without altering bib latex-publist, to have the date print differently (while being sorted as it is now)?
(ii) As a bonus, could it work from the ‘date’ field in BibLaTeX, because it seems neater to do that than to make the ‘year’ field something that’s not a year.

I have just uploaded biblatex-publist 0.7 to CTAN, which addresses your request. The date formatting itself is done via biblatex, you can modify it with the biblatex option "date" (see biblatex manual).

Please note that your MWE has an error. You need to use "Date", not "Year", i.e.

@misc{one,
Author = {Hodgson, Thomas},
Title = {One},
Date = {2013-01-01}}

@misc{two,
Author = {Hodgson, Thomas},
Title = {Two},
Date = {2012-01-01}}
