Title Case Rules
1. Capitalization Rules
In title case, the first letter of each major word is capitalized. Major words include nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns. The first and last words of the title are always capitalized, regardless of their type.
2. Lowercase Words
- Articles: a, an, the
- Short prepositions (fewer than 5 letters): in, on, at, to, for, of, with, by
- Conjunctions: and, or, but, nor, for, so, yet
- The word 'to' as part of an infinitive
3. Always Capitalize
- First word of the title
- Last word of the title
- Words that are always capitalized (proper nouns, acronyms)
- Words after colons or semicolons
4. Special Cases
- Hyphenated words: Both parts are usually capitalized (e.g., 'Self-Confident')
- Numbers: Usually kept as-is unless starting a sentence
- Quoted text: Follows the same rules within quotes
