Frequently Asked Questions

What is your last name?

My last name is "Guevara Vasquez". This is a last name composed of two words and should be indexed with the letter "G". Such composed last names are commonly used in El Salvador, the country I am originally from, and in other Spanish-speaking countries.

Is "Guevara" a middle name?

No.

When I use bibtex for my bibliography I keep getting "F. G. Vasquez". What can I do to display your last name correctly?

First thank you for paying attention to this and for willing to cite my work. The easiest workaround to force Latex to display my last name in two words is to write in your bibtex file

Guevara~Vasquez

The tilde character is rendered as a whitespace with no line break. Another option is to write the author field in the format

Guevara Vasquez, Fernando \and LAST NAME, FIRST NAME

Why do you have an FAQ on this?

Because I do get this question and I do see my last name miswritten pretty often in citations.
