bibtex/bibdesk - small letters in articles, capitol letters in book - problem

2008-10-28 Thread Benjamin Hentschel

Hello,

I have a problem concerning the implementation of my bibdesk database  
(Im working with a mac, bibdesk 1.3.18 and lyx 1.5.5).


I have a lot of entries in my database and the implementation into lyx  
works perfect with one minor point that concerns me. When I declare an  
entry in BibDesk as an article, the output in the actual lyx-file,  
e.g. pdf-file, changes all words into small letters. For instance the  
title of an entry which I entered as
Shukko (employee transfers) and tacit knowledge exchange in Japanese  
supply networks: the electronics industry case appears as

Shukko (employee transfers) and tacit
knowledge exchange in japanese supply networks: the electronics  
industry case.


Needless to say that I want it to be Japanese supply networks  
instead of japanese supply networks. The same happens with names,  
which should definitely be written with a capitol letter at the  
beginning.


I also recognized that when I declare it as a book in Bibdesk/Bibtex,  
every word starts with a capitol letter.


My question now is, can I manipulate the output somehow so that it  
appears the way it should?



Thanks in advance,

ben

In Bibdesk, write: ... in {Japanese} supply networks ...
(i.e. put abbrebiations, etc., of which you want the capitalisation to 
be preserved, in curly braces).


I also recognized that when I declare it as a book in Bibdesk/Bibtex,

This is defined by the bibliography style you select in LyX. In some 
(many?) styles it is supposed to be like this, that article-titles are 
in lower-case, and book-titles in upper-case, and bibtex takes care of 
that automatically (which is very useful).




My question now is, can I manipulate the output somehow so that it 
appears the way it should?


So in Bibdesk, only put 'special' words into curly braces, in LyX, 
choose a bibliography-style that fits your need, and lean back and let 
bibtex take care of the rest. :)

modify the bibliographic entry and place curly brackets around the 
letters in question to force {C}aps.  (not familiar with bibdesk, but 
this method works with other bibtex managers).
