Hi Christiaan

Thanks for this. I work in Immunology and titles of papers are frequently full of acronyms and capitalised jargon, so it's not really feasible to go through and make a list of protected words. Hence my hack ...

My 'remove braces' script could be used if you want to allow the bibtex style file access (e.g. if it contains its own capitalisation rules). This is not pretty, I know, but it works for me.

All the best,

Andy

Note that simply adding braces around the title is usually not a good idea. Capitalization should be determined by the bibtex style, and this prevents the bibtex style from touching it. I have some scripts on the Wiki that allows you to protect only some known words (like names and acronyms you use a lot), which is usually a better way go.

Hi,

I've just started using BibDesk and have modified/simplified one of Christiaan Hofman's applescripts to protect capital letters in the titles of bibtex entries.

These scripts simply add (or remove) an extra pair of braces around the Title field. Perhaps they'll be of use.

You can download them from http://www.biology.emory.edu/Antia/ ayates/software/software.html

best wishes,

Andy
