Bibtex: forcing capital letters

To force capital letters in a Bibtex file, put the offending character in curly brackets:

@MASTERSTHESIS{…
   author =       {Old Mc{D}onald},
   title =        {Having a farm},
   type =         {M{A} dissertation},
   …
}

This also works for strings of characters (words, you might call them).

Wait, there’s more!

  You’re welcome! By the way, was that in regard to the capital letters in bibtex or to the symbols document?
