bibtexlatex
I'm using LaTeX and BibTeX for an article, and I want to able to cite the title of an article I reference. What is the command to do this?
I'm using \bibliographystyle{chicago} and it does not appear to be \citeT{}, \citetitle{} or \citeTitle{}
It seems to me that what you really want, is to customize the look of the captions. This is most easily done using the caption package. For instructions how to use this package, see the manual (PDF). You would probably need to create your own custom caption format, as described in chapter 4 in the manual.
Edit: Tested with MikTex:
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{caption}
\DeclareCaptionFont{white}{\color{white}}
\DeclareCaptionFormat{listing}{\colorbox{gray}{\parbox{\textwidth}{#1#2#3}}}
\captionsetup[lstlisting]{format=listing,labelfont=white,textfont=white}
% This concludes the preamble
\begin{document}
\begin{lstlisting}[label=some-code,caption=Some Code]
public void here() {
goes().the().code()
}
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}
Result:
I think you are tripping over the multi-pass nature of LaTex plus Bibtex. If you look at Step 3 in this discussion, you'll see the following:
The first run (through latex) generates an auxiliary file, paper.aux, containing information about citations (and other types of references), the bibliography style used, and the name of the bibtex database. The second run (through bibtex) uses the information in the auxiliary file, along with the data contained in the bibtex database, to create a file paper.bbl. This file contains a thebibliography environment with \bibitem entries formatted according to the bibliography style specified.
So, what I think is happening is that your name_of_my_file.aux file still contains your placeholder \cite{test}. If you remove the auxiliary file, you should be able to start over with:
latex name_of_my_file
bibtex name_of_my_file
latex name_of_my_file
latex name_of_my_file
[Update based on additional info]: The problem was that you had a .aux file with your \cite{} still embedded. The second time that you ran latex, you overrode the old file with the new. That's why the complete set of steps includes an initial latex call, a bibtex call and two follow-up latex calls. Think of it as a multi-pass compiler and it might be more intuitive.

@Norman, and the various commenters, are correct in that it would be difficult to do this with bibtex and other tools. But, there is an alternative. Biblatex does allow this through the command
\citetitle. Also, if you really want to, the formatting drivers in biblatex are easily readable and modifiable, but only if you feel the need. Unfortunately, it is not part of any distribution, yet, so it has to be downloaded and installed.
