BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Bibentry, bst files, and the capitalization of paper titles

[davidec]

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 it is found in the .bib file, and replace it with uniform lowercase spelling throughout. I would prefer to keep the original capitalization.

I have tried, so far, the three natbib bibstyles, i.e. "plainnat", "abbrvnat" and "unsrtnat", as well as "apalike" and "plain", and all give me this problem. I know I can force the capitalization by changing the original .bib file and inserting curly brackets where necessary, e.g.:

Title = {Population {G}rowth and {T}echnological {C}hange}

but the whole point of my use of "bibentry" is that so I can draw from a wide pool of bibliographic entries which I have collected in BibTeX format over the past years: I don't want to retype them all!

Usually, in a normal text I would use the bibliography styles "aer" or "econometrica", which do not suppress capitalization, but they don't work with bibentry, it seems.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to which other bst-style I could try instead?

Thanks!

You might try making your own: latex makebst

It will ask you a series of questions and let you tune the bibliography style exactly as you want it.
