Re: [NTG-context] Bibliography: only surname in small caps
On 30 jun. 2014, at 17:33, Joshua Kr?mer
I would like to have in a bibliography only surnames in small capitals, like this:
M?LLER, B. and SCHNEIDER A.
(M?ller and Schneider appear in small caps, but everything else like "and" is still in the default typeface.)
At the moment, I'm using the old bibliography system. …
Is it possible to achieve what I want (SC surnames) with the old and the new system?
Hi Joshua, I suspect it can be done in the old system, albeit by some tricks that are maybe unworthy of ConTeXt. I have not tried using small caps because I use a font that does't have them but I think it would be doable. There a in fact two tricks. The first is to put everything in the "booklet" category and enter everything except author names, year of publication and city (or publisher) in the title. The second is to make a .bbl file and edit that, including ordering small caps where you want them, just as in a normal .tex-file. In your project you input the edited .bbl-file, not the .bib-file. This way you can use all the nice mechanisms of ConTeXt for citing, footnotes and bibliography without having to bother with the tweaking of codes. I have done it this way for my wife's PhD thesis and it works perfectly. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Thanks for your answer, Robert. But I'm reluctant to do such manual hacks. In this case, they would not make sense anyway, because my database is too big (more than 200 entries), and I pull the entries from Medline, I don't create them myself. Minor tweaks are possible, but I can't rearrange and manually format all the entries. Anyway, it works now automatically (see my other mail), with a minimum of work. That's why I love ConTeXt and automatic typesetting. (-: Kind regards, Joshua
