What title case does
Title case capitalizes the main words of a heading. Short words stay lowercase unless they are the first or last word: a, an, the, and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet, at, by, in, of, on, to, up, as, vs, from, with, into, over, than, via, and per. "a guide to the new api" becomes "A Guide to the New Api".
That last word shows the limit. "Api" is capitalized like any other word. The converter does not know that API is an acronym, and it does not look up the Chicago Manual of Style or AP for exceptions. It follows one consistent short-word list so you can see exactly what changed.
Title case compared with capitalized case
| Input | Title case | Capitalized case |
|---|---|---|
| how to read a book | How to Read a Book | How To Read A Book |
| notes from the editor | Notes from the Editor | Notes From The Editor |
Capitalized case capitalizes every word, including "a" and "the". Title case is the one to use for articles, videos, and chapter titles. Capitalized case fits name lists and places where every word should look equal.
After converting, scan acronyms and names. You may want "API", "iPhone", or "macOS" adjusted by hand. Sentence case is the other common headline style, especially in product design.
