I created this simple macro, for citing papers. Basically just use this format:
\turabian{bibtextkey}{page range}
or
\turabian{smith1980}{10-23}
...and it places a citation.
Now, one feature I needed was if the bibtextkey ever repeated, it should
instead display "Ibid. p. 10-23"
So if I have text like this...
This is a passage about some trees. The trees were tall.
\turabian{smith1980}{2-30} The trees were also really
green.\turabian{smith1980}{40-44}
...the second citation just displays the "Ibid., p. 40-44".
I did this by at the end of the macro, setting \setvalue{previousmymacro}{#1},
then checking if that value is the same the next time hte macro is called. So
its just checking, if #1 is same as last time the macro was called, then use
Ibid.
Something though isn't working as expected. Why isn't this displaying Ibid.
when it should for repeated bibtextkeys?

Code:
\let\previousmymacro\empty
\define[2]\turabian{%
\iftok{#1}{\getvalue{previousmymacro}}%
\doifemptyelse{#2}{%
\footnote{Ibid.}\nocite[#1]%
}{%
\footnote{Ibid., #2.}\nocite[#1]%
}%
\else%
\doifemptyelse{#2}{%
\cite[#1]%
}{%
\cite[loctext={#2}][#1]%
}%
\fi%
\setvalue{previousmymacro}{#1}%
}%
