BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Conditional Formatting of Author Names

[rainbowgoblin]

I'm not sure if this is possible... I'd like to define the font used for authors' names conditionally based on who the author is. I'm writing a CV, and I want my name in publications to be in bold typeface, and others to be in the normal typeface. I've got my .bst file set up to use bibnamefont, and I've successfully renewed the bibnamefont command to make all authors bold, but I can't figure out how to do this conditionally. I've tried this:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{ifthen}
\renewcommand{\bibnamefont}[1]{\ifthenelse{\equal{Einstein A}}{\textbf{#1}}{#1}}

but this won't even compile. Ideas?

I figured this out, so I'm replying to my own question in case someone else wants to do this...

It turns out that my original solution works, I just didn't have the right syntax for the \equal command:

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\bibnamefont}[1]{\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{Einstein A}}{\textbf{#1}}{#1}}
