----
-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 letter or letters, whose capitalisation
-BibTeX should not touch, in braces, as:
-```bibtex
-title = {The {THE} operating system},
-```
-Sometimes you find BibTeX changing the case of a single letter
-inappropriately.  No matter: the technique can be applied to single
-letters, as in:
-```bibtex
-title = {Te{X}niques and tips},
-```
-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
-```bibtex
-title = {{TeXniques and tips}},
-```
-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&nbsp;&mdash; 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
-[BibTeX documentation](FAQ-BibTeXing).
