csquotes: Footnotes after Block Quotes with Quotation Marks
Note that the csquotes
package allows to define an optional argument for citations in \blockquote
and this one can be defined to be a footnote.
So, you just have to add
\renewcommand{\mkcitation}[1]{\footnote{#1}}
in the preamble
and use
\blockquote[bla...]{\lipsum*[1]...}
instead of
\blockquote{\lipsum*[1]...}\footnote{bla...}
Complete MWE
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{lmodern,csquotes,lipsum}
\renewcommand{\mkblockquote}[4]{\enquote{#1}#2\ifterm{\relax}{#3}#4}
\renewcommand{\mkcitation}[1]{\footnote{#1}}
\begin{document}
\lipsum*[1]
\blockquote[bla...]{\lipsum*[1]...}
\lipsum*[1]
\end{document}
Output
Update
Your issue in the update can be resolved in this way:
replace
\renewcommand{\mkcitation}[1]{\footnote{#1}}
with simply
\renewcommand{\mkcitation}[1]{#1}
and then use
\blockquote[\footnotemark]{\lipsum*[1]...}
\footnotetext{Says \cite[59]{companion}. See also \cite[59]{companion}.}
instead of
\blockquote[Says \cite[123]{xyz}. See also \cite[123]{xyz}.]{\lipsum*[1]...}
In this way, we've separated the \footnotemark
from the \footnotetext
and the problem doesn't arise.
