force author name

Post by Scorpion »

Hey,
the author of one book/manual is a company "XXX AG" and I want that it is displayed like this. Now it looks like: "AG, XXX". How can i change that?

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Wild guess: you're talking about a bibliography entry, i.e. something like

Code: Select all

@book{someid,
  author = {XXX Ag},
  title  = ...
}
If my guess is right then XXX is taken as first name and Ag as last name which is why you're getting “Ag, XXX”. You can trick BibTeX (or biblatex/biber) by declaring this a single (i.e. last) name with another pair of braces:

Code: Select all

@book{someid,
  author = {{XXX Ag}},
  title  = ...
}
