Biber, BibLatex?

[Carl-Henrik Buschmann]

It seems to me that Biber and biblatex has much to offer. Is it possible to convert tufts to this?

[Kevin Godby]

Hi, Carl-Henrik.

It is. This is the route I was taking with your previous request, but
I still need to read through the BibLaTeX manual to learn what I need
to replace \fullcite with to make it only print the author, year, and
title per your request.

\documentclass[nobib]{tufte-book}% or tufte-handout

% Bibliography
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=numeric]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{whatever.bib}
\renewcommand{\cite}[2][0pt]{%
\sidenote[][#1]{\fullcite{#2}}%
}

\begin{document}

Blah blah\cite{Someone2015}...

\printbibliography

\end{document}

This is quite a late response, but here is how I have adapted tufte-latex to be used with biblatex and xelatex.

As I use a lot of margin notes, margin figures, etc but I also cite references within sidenotes. This became cumbersome and messy, so I had to alter the default citations in Tufte to be a bit more compact. Basically a citation here is setup to be  "Author, [bibliography number]" instead of the usual tufte version.

With this setup I use \textcite{YourReferenceLabel} when referencing something inside a \sidenote{}, which will print the citation inline in the sidenote text. Then in the main text I use \autocite{YourReferenceLabel} which will print the reference as a sidenote.

\documentclass[nobib]{tufte-book}%
