[comp.text.tex] BibTeX style question

sheffler@colt.CS.CMU.EDU (Thomas Sheffler) (05/31/90)

The correct way to force capitalization is to enclose the capital
letters in braces in your BiBTeX source.

This is the wrong answer to the wrong question.  It's the wrong
question because the original questioner wanted to know how to make
BibTeX capitalize his titles when they were {\em not\/} capitalized in
his database.  It's the wrong answer because the database entry above
does not require any special treatment in the title.

The right answer is to fix the database.  It's not the answer wanted,
but it's the right one.

P.S.  An example of correct usage of forced capitalization would be
"InterViews: A {C}++ Graphical Interface Toolkit".

I am looking for a bibtex style that creates citations like "Pleebis (1987)"
instead of "[Pleeb87]" and "[12]".  I could not find such a style in the
sun.soe.clarkson.edu archive.  Please advise, either by posting a reply
or by email.

Thanks,
