BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ natbib style plainnat changes case on titles

[kmcfarlane]

I need to make article titles in bibliographies with proper names and acronyms. Plainnat seems to insist on making everything lower case. So "Microwave structure in Sagittarius from WMAP" might become "Microwave structure in sagittarius from wmap." How can I prevent this (and why does plainnat second-guess me anyway?)? I'm using MikTeX with natbib 8.1 and recent (2008) distributions of everything else.

Put the things that should not be changed in braces:

Code: Select all

Microwave structure in {S}agittarius from {WMAP}

This behavior was probably introduced to allow providing a title-cased title.

Thanks, that works.

However, it seems odd that the default is to change case, rather than keep it unchanged.
Some journals I work with provide bibtex entries, so I have to edit them.

Thanks again.

Hi,

alternatively you could embrace complete words instead of just first letters, this may give better kerning or respect ligatures.
