Rules of Title Capitalization
1. The first and last words of the title are always
capitalized.
2. “(,” “),” “[,” “],” “{” “},” “; ” (semicolon space), “: ”
(colon space), and “ - ” (space dash space) are assumed to divide
the title into separate titles.
3. “'” (apostrophe), “_,” and “-” characters in addition to a-z,
A-Z, and 0-9 may be included within words.
4. Words may also include foreign characters, such as “ý,”
“æ,” “Õ,” “Û,” etc.
5. All other characters are considered “word boundary characters”:
“ ” (space), “;,” “:,” etc.
6. Except for 134 special words/phrases,
such as “the,” “a,” “of,” etc., upper case characters are left
unchanged. This is so that “BB King,” for example, is not
incorrectly converted to “Bb King,” and so that “Part III” is not
incorrectly converted to “Part Iii,” etc. If this is not
appropriate for your particular title, try clicking before clicking .
