Dear all,
I use the chicago.bst file, which I like for everything, except one small thing: I'd like to have all the titles (journal, book, collection, etc) capitalized
I am a total novice, but I tried to look into the file, where I found
"title "t" change.case"
I tried to change it to
title "T" change.case
But I had no success. I could, if I understood correctly, option out the change of case, by commenting
{ title empty$
{ "" }
{ title "t" change.case$ }
if$
}
and uncommenting
%FUNCTION {format.title}
%{ title empty$
% { "" }
% { title }
% if$
%}
Yet, I would then have to change all the titles of my bibliographic records to capital.
Any of you can suggest me how to have all the titles capitalized by modifying the style, or better still suggest me a style identical to chicago in everything with the exception of of titles that are capitalized?
Thanks for your help!
ps
I made a search on the forum and I did not find anything like this. if there is, I apologize for the double posting

Re: Capitalize Titles in 'chicago' Bibliography Style
thanks! It works, but a bit too much.
It capitalizes the entire title, not just the initials...
And, I seem unable to affect book titles as well; only articles; I changed to u everywhere, though...

Capitalize Titles in 'chicago' Bibliography Style
Book titles are output by the function "format.btitle", which doesn't change the case (you'd have to add that). The reason is that doing titlecase automatically is too difficult: some words ("a", "and", "the", etc.) are not supposed to be capitalized—and non-English titles are treated differently. So you're supposed to write the correctly-titlecased title in your .bib file, and then the style file can do the easy case changes for things like article titles that are traditionally downcased.cesco wrote:thanks!

The solution to your problem is most likely to fix your .bib file(s).

I was just going over Tame the BeaSt, and it seems really complicated to play with this...

Thanks again for your help!!
