Disabling stupid title decapitalisation in BibTeX

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 12:24:00 +0100

BibTeX for some reason converts titles from title case to sentence case. This is idiotic. It’s a fucking title! Anyway, you can work around this by enclosing your entire title in curly braces, but that’s a hack. The better way to do it is modify the appropriate .bst file, altering the format.title function. For example, for my unsrturl.bst, I changed format.title from:

FUNCTION {format.title}
{ title empty$
    { "" }
    { title "t" change.case$ }
  if$
}

to:

FUNCTION {format.title}
{ title empty$
    { "" }
    { title }
  if$
}

Then you just have to keep your bibliography in the correct format, and everything will work fine. If you ever have to submit to a journal run by idiots who require the incorrect sentence case for titles, modify the .bst file right back.

“People say, ‘Well, why do we always get things last? Why can’t we say things?’ Well, I’ve said this many times before: sometimes it’s an advantage to be last in Europe, you know, when everything’s ironed out.”

- Sony’s David Reeves makes a watertight argument for Europe getting consoles and games months after the rest of the world. I’m convinced!
