Bibliography
The TUDaThesis and TUDaPhD templates includes very basic usage information on biblatex a complete package documentation can be found at texdoc biblatex or at https://texdoc.org/serve/biblatex/0 beside this also the Overleaf Tutorial might be helpful (https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Articles/Getting_started_with_BibLaTeX).
This page is extending this information and also adding some instructions for different styles. Thanks to @habernal
The template is only loading the numeric style, which is default. But there is a large number of others available. All included in the TeX distributions can be found at https://ctan.org/topic/biblatex
The numeric styles automatically brace all citations. Therefore one does not have to make a difference between the position of a cite.
This doesn't apply for non-numeric styles like authoryear.
There are different cite macros to be used for cites within normal text, or with parenthesis to be places at the end of a sentence.
Lorem ipsum \parencite{einstein}.
\textcote{dirac} discovered lorem ipsum.
\citeauthor{knuthwebsite}'s approach.
Lorem ipsum \parencite[p.~12]{knuth-fa}.
The example will produce the following output
Lorem ipsum (Einstein 1905). Dirac (1981) discovered lorem ipsum. D. Knuth’s approach. Lorem ipsum (D. E. Knuth 1973, p. 12).
BibLaTeX is supporting a huge amount of options to setup the citation. So everything withing a style can also be overwritten. To simplify it we show a list of possibilities. All these options are loaded with the \usepackage command.
\usepackage[
style=authoryear-comp,% variant of authoryear to sort and compress multiple citations within one cite command.
maxbibnames=30,% number of names to be printed within the bibliography before using “et. al”
maxcitenames=2,% like maxbibnames but for the citations within the text
giveninits=true,% print initials for the given name
doi=false,% hide the doi
url=false,% hide the url
isbn=false, %hide the isbn
dashed=false,% don't use a dash if two items following each other in the bibliography have the same authors
