Title in lower case

Open phlind opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

title: "Identität und differenz"

instead of

title: "Identität und Differenz" I also have some errors in the console. I don't know if that's connected:

Hi @phlind , thanks for the report! What reference manager is producing this .bib file? In general I believe the rule is that .bib entry titles should mark capitals not to be transformed with {{ }} delimiters, e.g.

@Book{HusserlHua1,
    title = {Cartesianische {{Meditationen}} und {{Pariser}} {{Vorträge}}},
...
}

(cf. https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/439473)

This is handled properly in e.g. Zotero's BibTeX export (via zotero-better-bibtex). I wonder if there's an option you might enable in your reference manager to properly encode this title casing in the BibTeX export?

Oh, I make my bib file manually with snippets in vim. But if you don't intend to change this behaviour, it's probably easier for me to stick with JSON, because there the original is kept.

Hi @phlind, I checked the BibTeX parser we use and I think we can actually work around this. I'll add a setting in a near future release to not modify the title casing used in the bibliography file.

Revising all proper nouns exported in lowercase by Citations from JabRef to various fields in Obsidian is time-consuming. If left uncorrected, these lowercase entries can complicate future searches within the app. It would be beneficial if this bug could be addressed. And thank you for sharing this fantastic plugin!
