Does zotero-better-bibtex can get title in sentence case and ignore proper nouns?

[YoushanLiu]

Although the zotero-better-bibtex can get title in BBT sentence case, it still get some proper nouns in lowercase. In the EndNote, there is Preference that is called 'Change Case', which can ignore some proper nouns given by user. Does zotero-better-bibtex can get title in sentence case and ignore proper nouns? I noticed that there is a preferebce option called extensions.zotero.translors.better-bibtex.skipWords. However, I'm not sure its function. Thanks a lot!

skipWords is only for the citekey. If this is for titles, Zotero has a syntax that BBT supports; you can enclose proper nouns in <span class="nocase">....</span>. It's not pretty, but it works.

Hi Heyns. Thank you for your consideration. Where the javarscript can be avaliable? Thanks a lot! Best Wishes.

In Zotero: Menu Tools, Developer, Run javascript, check the checkbox run as async, and paste the following under Code:

for (const item of Zotero.getActiveZoteroPane().getSelectedItems()) {
  const title = item.getField('title')
  const nocase = title.replace(/\b(LHC|NASA)\b/g, '<span class="nocase">$1</span>')
  if (title !== nocase) {
      await item.setField('title', nocase)
      await item.saveTx()
  }
}

now select some items in Zotero, and click the Run button. change the regex above as needed.

Hi Heyns! Ok! Thank you very much! Best Wishes!

[retorquere]

please do test with just one or two items before using it on the lot, as this will change items without asking once you run.
