Capitalize each Word in the Title
I am using the standard unsrt style. The output of references is not satisfactory: only the first word of the title is capitalized. In my .bib file, all words in a title is capitalized. How do I ask bibtex not to de-capitalize the words?

Hi,
protect the capitalization by additional braces, such as {{The Title}} or {{The} {Title}}.
I just don't recommend writing {T}itle since it would change the inter word kerning between letters.

Re: Capitalize each Word in the Title
thks, stefan_k, I just used makebst, which allow me to preserve the title, and saved the need to modify my database file. However, I also like to have quotation marks around the title, please see my another post. Any suggestion on that?

Re: Capitalize each Word in the Title
Hi,
I was also having the same problem with forcing capital letters. This is annoying if the library is imported from somewhere and not created entry by entry. Here is the work around:
I use JabRef for referencing, which can be found online for free, import your .bib file to jabRef, then in options>preferences> file there is an option that says:
"store the following fields with braces around capital letters"
Type "title" or any other field you want to keep the capitals in and press ok. the drawback that this will only keep the capitalization of what was originally capital letters, it is not so smart to capitalize by itself, it only keeps the capitalization.
I hope this helped
