Bold name for Author

Post by Filoche »

Hi everyone.

I'm fairly new to LaTeX and I have the following question.

I'm currently preparing a CV and I have been asked to put my name in bold in the publications I made.

For instance, I'm using bibentry like this.

Code: Select all

\bibentry{citationkey}
So, I was wondering if it was possible to set bold for a specific name. Example, for every \bibentry, Name First Name would be in bold.

Thank in advance,
Phil

You should be able to edit the .bib file directly and surround your name in with the \textbf{} macro wherever your name appears. When you output references, your name will appear in bold. This only works because you're only interested in outputting the full citations. If you want to include in-text citations from this bib file, your name will also appear in bold in those in-text citations. But it sounds like that's not an issue here, so this quick work-around should suffice.
