| - | ====== Capitalisation in BibTeX ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | The standard BibTeX bibliography styles impose fixed ideas about | ||
| - | the capitalisation of titles of things in the bibliography. While | ||
| - | this is not unreasonable by BibTeX's lights (the rules come from | ||
| - | the //Chicago Manual of Style//) it can be troublesome, since | ||
| - | BibTeX fails to recognise special uses (such as acronyms, chemical | ||
| - | formulae, etc.). | ||
| - | |||
| - | The solution is to enclose the words or letters whose capitalisation | ||
| - | BibTeX should not touch in braces, as: | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | title = {The {THE} operating system}, | ||
| - | title = {On the Theory of {Brontosauruses}}, | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | Sometimes you find BibTeX changing the case of a single letter | ||
| - | inappropriately. No matter: the technique can be applied to single | ||
| - | letters, as in: | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | title = {Te{X}niques and tips}, | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | Braces can prevent kerning between letters, so it is in general preferable | ||
| - | to enclose entire words and not just single letters in braces to protect | ||
| - | them. | ||
| - | |||
| - | If your document design specification requires a different style of | ||
| - | capitalisation, you should acquire a bibliography style that doesn't | ||
| - | enforce BibTeX's default rules. It is definitely //not// a good | ||
| - | idea to enclose an entire title in braces, as in | ||
| - | |||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | title = {{TeXniques and tips}}, | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | though that does ensure that the capitalisation is not changed. Your | ||
| - | BibTeX database should be a general-purpose thing, not something | ||
| - | tuned to the requirements of a particular document or bibliography | ||
| - | style, or to the way you are thinking today --- for example, on a | ||
| - | future occasion, you might find yourself using a different BibTeX | ||
| - | style with different capitalisation rules. | ||
| - | |||
| - | There's more on the subject in the | ||
| - | [[FAQ-BibTeXing|BibTeX documentation]]. | ||
