Tell me more ×  I'm working on a CV. I'd like to highlight my
name in every entry in the bibliography. I've tried simply
replacing {myname} with {\bf myname} or {{\bf myname}}, but they
fail with various errors, particularly when sorting.  This post
gives a solution that's nearly what I'm looking for. The
solution in the linked post is to use:   to wrap all instances
of the name in question.  EDIT: Removed error example because it
was caused by an unassociated error in a .bst file. The answer
selected below now directly answers the only question posed
above.  share|improve this question Maybe you can simply modify
the .bib database to change your name to be a macro and use
\providecommand to provide a default value for the macro. –  Leo

illustrates the problem including the \documentclass so that
those trying to help don't have to recreate it. –  Peter Grill
