[bibliography] publications layout

[finkler]

Hi there,

in my publication list from the bibliography, every word, except the
first starts in small case letters. How can I change this?

I am using the beta.

regards,
finkler

Hi,

is the bibliograph style as mentioned in "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." from the website you suggested, the same thing I set up with
   \setuppublications[alternative=...]
? I'm using "ams" there and realized that the title tag of @book is not 
treated that way (so with @book there are caps inside the title without 
extra {} in the bib-file).

Yes, I believe so (though I get a bit confused with BibTeX, so I could
be wrong). Personally I use the suggested solution of wrapping
‘proper’ capital latters in {}. If you need a custom style that
doesn't decapitalize article titles, that's beyond my BibTeXpertise
but maybe there is someone else here who can help.

This is the case for most bibliography styles: journal articles only
get capitals for the first letter, proper nouns, chemical symbols, etc.;
Book Titles get Capital Letters for Most Words.

This is controlled by the "bst" style you use. If you look into the  
directory

$CONTEXT/tex/texmf-context/bibtex/bst/context/

you'll find a number of them. They contain



FUNCTION {do.t.out}
{ duplicate$ empty$
     { pop$ pop$ write$}
     { "{" swap$ "t" change.case$ * "}" * * write$ pop$ newline$ }
   if$
}

this is the function that changes uppercase to lowercase (I have no  
idea why this was ever considered a good thing, but scientists, as  
opposed to scholars in the humanities, can be very strange people).  
Further on, you'll find that this function is used in e.g.


FUNCTION {format.arttitle}
{ "" "\arttitle" title do.t.out }


if you change this to


FUNCTION {format.arttitle}
{ "" "\arttitle" title do.out }

the case will not be changed. And: this is something I found out by  
sheer bloody-mindedness, I don't have the faintest idea about bst- 
syntax, and from what I hear, most people think it's a bloody mess. So  
use at your own risk...

HTH
