There is not much documentation of templating files, so I'm requesting some. What I've experienced may be a bug, or it may not be.

For example, in the ieee template file, the first line is . My titles are all lower-casified by your plugin. Thinking this would fix it so they appear to have each word capitalized or at least pass through the original value, I changed its value to 1, yet nothing happens.

Another issue, I cannot get to display the entry type. For example, the ieee format for phdthesis and mastersthesis types is:

@?author@@author@, @;@@?title@"@title@," @;@@?type@@type@ @;@@?entrytype=phdthesis||entrytype=mastersthesis@@?entrytype=phdthesis@PhD Thesis@;@@?entrytype=mastersthesis@Master Thesis@;@@;@@?institution@, @institution@@;@@?address@, @address@@;@@?year@, @year@@;@.

It appears that the line @?entrytype=phdthesis||entrytype=mastersthesis@... is checking for entries of that type, correct? Yet it never actually resolves to true and displays the "Master Thesis" text. In fact, in playing around with it, everything just went to the format with the "types="article #"" whatever the # means. If I took out the # and just left "article " everything just used that format.

When I look output the bibtex it has a space before the @type, which might be a clue.

Thanks for the plugin, it's great except for these weird issues and lack of documentation :)
