Title Case compared with the other styles
| Style | Example |
|---|---|
| Title Case | A Tale of Two Cities and the Art of War |
| Capitalize Each Word | A Tale Of Two Cities And The Art Of War |
| Sentence case | A tale of two cities and the art of war |
| UPPER CASE | A TALE OF TWO CITIES AND THE ART OF WAR |
Title Case suits book, film and article titles and most English headlines. Many websites and apps use Sentence case for headings and buttons instead, because it reads more naturally. Use the button that matches your style guide.
The rules used
- The first and last word of each line are always capitalised.
- Articles (a, an, the), short conjunctions (and, but, or, nor, so, yet) and short prepositions (at, by, for, in, of, on, to, with and others) stay lower case in the middle.
- Every other word gets a capital first letter, including short verbs such as “Is” and “Be”, as the style guides ask.
- In hyphenated words, only the first part is capitalised, as in “Well-known”.
Tips
- Fix acronyms afterwards: names such as NASA, BBC or iPhone need their capitals put back by hand.
- Check the length: paste the title into the Word Counter to see if it fits 60 characters for a page title.
- Every word capitalised: if your house style capitalises all words, click Capitalize Each Word instead.
