Bibentry, bst files, and the capitalization of paper titles

Hello,

I am using the "bibentry" package (together with natbib, which is not essential though) to create a syllabus. I am totally satisfied with it, with one exception: all the bibliography styles I have tried so far suppress the original capitalization of paper titles (not book titles, though!) as ...

Shifting up a table (to fit it on a page)

I have a table which is slightly, but only slightly, longer than the page height. It is long enough to cover the page number at the bottom, but not long enough that I would see it sensible to break it over two pages and make it a "longtable".

Is there a way to shift it up by a couple of ...

Upper case in titles (and footnotes) with thesis class

Hello, I am using (a variant of) the thesis document class. This class sets all chapter titles in upper case. The problem I am having is that, whenever I add a footnote to the title of a chapter, all the text in that footnote is in upper case as well. While I am fine with the title text being in ...

Centering wide tables

Actually, I do have a followup on this. I usually have a footnote at the end of the table, with the sources of the data etc etc. One of my previous headaches was how to format the note so that it had the same width as the table itself. The way I found was to use a lrbox:

Centering wide tables

I have the recurrent problem of tables that are wider than my normal text width. I would like them to be centered on the page, but LaTeX justifies them on the left margin. As an example:

\documentclass[letterpaper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[left=5cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document ...

Citing an entire book series (with no author)

Hi meho_r, thanks for your post. You're right, I should have provided a MWE right away. Here it is. The main file:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{natbib}

\begin{document}
\noindent
\citet{allen01} \\
\citet{statdr} \\
\citet{vanzanden1999} \\

\bibliographystyle{aer}
\bibliography{mwe_series ...

Citing an entire book series (with no author)

I would like to cite an entire book series: in this case, the statistical publications of the German Empire until 1945. A corresponding BibTeX entry could be:


@book{statdr,
Address = {Berlin},
Publisher = {Kaiserliches Statistisches Amt},
Title = {Statistik des Deutschen Reiches},
Year ...
