Hi,

I'm currently trying to make a command that outputs different text
depending on the situation it has been called, but I'm absolutely stuck
there (I'm not very familiar with TeX, so it's probably obvious to most
of you :-/). It currently looks like this:

\doassign[mycite][last=]
\def\mycite[#1]{%
  \footnote{%
     \doifelse{\mycitelast}{#1}{Ebenda}{\cite[alternative=data][#1]}%
  }
  \doassign[mycite][last=#1]
}

The idea is as follow: if I cite the same citation two or more times in
a row (e.g. Some text\mycite[chan_genetic_2005] ... more
text\mycite[chan_genetic_2005]) it should only output the whole
quotation the first time, and "Ebenda" all the other times. But as it
seems, the \doifelse always evaluates to false and therefore outputs
the whole citation every time.

Does someone see what I might be doing wrong? Or is there even a better
way to do this?

Thanks,
Andreas.
