To make reference list, I am using biblatex package:
\usepackage[ natbib=true, style=numeric,sorting=none]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{name.bib}
I found a way to colour the reference brackets:
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{cite}
\renewcommand{\citeleft}{\textcolor{red}{[}}
\renewcommand{\citeright}{\textcolor{red}{]}}
I do get the brackets coloured, but the reference shows as [?]. I read that cite package is incompatible with biblatex, but I cannot find how to do it using biblatex. How do I do it?
The biblatex-ext
package has the handy \DeclareOuterCiteDelims
macro:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[natbib=true,style=ext-numeric,sorting=none]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\usepackage{color}
\DeclareOuterCiteDelims{cite}{\textcolor{green}{\bibopenbracket}}{\textcolor{red}{\bibclosebracket}}
\begin{document}
\cite{knuth:ct}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
