Hi there, in my publication list from the bibliography, every word, except the first starts in small case letters. How can I change this? I am using the beta. regards, finkler

Hi, is the bibliograph style as mentioned in "If your document design specification requires a different style of capitalisation, you should acquire a bibliography style that doesn’t enforce BibTeX’s default rules." from the website you suggested, the same thing I set up with \setuppublications[alternative=...] ? I'm using "ams" there and realized that the title tag of @book is not treated that way (so with @book there are caps inside the title without extra {} in the bib-file). Stefan

Yes, I believe so (though I get a bit confused with BibTeX, so I could be wrong). Personally I use the suggested solution of wrapping ‘proper’ capital latters in {}. If you need a custom style that doesn't decapitalize article titles, that's beyond my BibTeXpertise but maybe there is someone else here who can help.
? I'm using "ams" there and realized that the title tag of @book is not treated that way (so with @book there are caps inside the title without extra {} in the bib-file).
This is the case for most bibliography styles: journal articles only get capitals for the first letter, proper nouns, chemical symbols, etc.; Book Titles get Capital Letters for Most Words. Pont

This is controlled by the "bst" style you use. If you look into the directory $CONTEXT/tex/texmf-context/bibtex/bst/context/ you'll find a number of them. They contain FUNCTION {do.t.out} { duplicate$ empty$ { pop$ pop$ write$} { "{" swap$ "t" change.case$ * "}" * * write$ pop$ newline$ } if$ } this is the function that changes uppercase to lowercase (I have no idea why this was ever considered a good thing, but scientists, as opposed to scholars in the humanities, can be very strange people). Further on, you'll find that this function is used in e.g. FUNCTION {format.arttitle} { "" "\arttitle" title do.t.out } if you change this to FUNCTION {format.arttitle} { "" "\arttitle" title do.out } the case will not be changed. And: this is something I found out by sheer bloody-mindedness, I don't have the faintest idea about bst- syntax, and from what I hear, most people think it's a bloody mess. So use at your own risk...
