Some warnings

averms opened this issue · comments

I'm getting some warnings with TeX Live 2020. Wondering if they can be fixed?

Package Fancyhdr Warning: \headheight is too small (12.0pt): 
Make it at least 14.49998pt.
We now make it that large for the rest of the document.
This may cause the page layout to be inconsistent, however.

and

Package biblatex Warning: Macro 'cite:idem' already defined.
(biblatex)                Using \renewbibmacro on input line 281.


Package biblatex Warning: Macro 'cite:mla:title:internal' already defined.
(biblatex)                Using \renewbibmacro on input line 287.


Package biblatex Warning: Macro 'cite:mla:title' already defined.
(biblatex)                Using \renewbibmacro on input line 302.

Most likely they could be. I'd be happy to receive a pull request. Otherwise, the problem will likely not be solved anytime soon since I am graduating college and hope to never see MLA format again :P

Haha just starting college. Will have to deal with MLA for a few more years. Anyway, my solution would be to remove the code that does the biblatex stuff since I think biblatex-mla does everything I need (idem is removed from newer versions of MLA, title citing is done automatically). As for the fancyhdr issue, I have no clue.

If you want me to submit a pull request deleting the biblatex macros let me know.

If biblatex-mla has been updated to handle everything properly, then I see no reason not to remove the code from here. If you submit a pull request I can test with one of my existing documents to see if anything changes.

It looks like biblatex-mla hasn't been updated since 2016, so I doubt whatever the problem was has been fixed
