Rules for bib(la)tex capitalization are complex, and this is one of thoseĪnswers that gets it entirely wrong, even if it will seem to work. The simplest approach would be to wrap title fields in extra braces as a whole,Īnd some sites will erroneously recommend doing so, but as per Mencken, forĮvery complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong the To isdn or Isdn, regardless of the bibliography style in play. This is to let BibTeX know that ISDN may not be changed To do that, it wraps those (strings of) words in Some rather complex exceptions) you meant it to be there, and you want BibTeX to
BBT assumes that if a word has at least one capital letter (subject to But then sometimes, you want words that have capitals to Will in turn try to lowercase or initial-caps some words and not others – forĮnglish items.
The titles so modified will then pass through your Bib(La)TeX processor, which To do this,īBT uses the same title-caser that Zotero uses to produce title-cased styles Language explicitly set to an English language ( american counts as English forĮxample), and those items that have no explicit language set. Items, as far as BBT is concerned, are those items that have their In order to translate the Zotero recommendation into Bib(La)TeXīest practice, BBT will title-case the titles of English items. Zotero recommends having yourīecause that’s what the embedded citation processor expects, but of course,īibLaTeX expects your titles to be in Title Case… but only if they’re inĮnglish.
Title fields in particular are a total mess. For most I can make reasonable choices, but there are some things whereīetter BibTeX takes a little more liberties with your items in order to get There isn’t a straightforward one-to-one mapping for all Zotero to Bib(La)TeXįields. BBT is changing the capitalization of my titles – why? It into Zotero using installation instructions to get started with BBT.
Bibtex vs. jabref install#
You need to download the plugin without installinging it into Firefoxīy right-clicking the download link, choose save-as, and then install Plugin technology, Firefox think the BetterBibTeX plugin is intendedįor itself, tries to install it, and then finds out it won’t work. You have downloaded the Better BibTeX plugin by clicking on theĭownload link using Firefox. Add-on could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt.
Bibtex vs. jabref windows#
It also works on the GIT console in Windows (which I'm using), but you would have to install the MINGW build of emacs separately.įor me, git commits now work elegantly and economically. It won't touch the extra non-bibtex lines added by Mendeley, and should work on any Unix/Linux installation with emacs. Just run it (after setting file permissions if necessary) before each git commit: chmod a+x bibsort.sh Here's the shell script (let's imaginitively call it bibsort.sh), which assumes that both the bibtex files and the lisp script are in the current directory: #!/bin/bashĮmacs -batch -l bibsort.el "$bibfile" -f bibsort
Bibtex vs. jabref code#
I went further in writing a shell script to call it for each bibtex file which Mendeley had reordered (with or without fresh references), by checking the return code from "git diff filename" (this saves time by not running the lisp code unnecessarily on files which have not changed). You can call the script in batch mode from the command line. This sorts any bibtex file by key name and then saves it. Based on que que's great suggestion, I solved my issue using emacs, but in batch mode, nicely allowing me to wrap the solution in a shell script.įirst off, I created the following emacs lisp script (let's call it bibsort.el): ( defun bibsort() I too have been having this problem, which is still not fixed in Mendeley.
