Of course. Why shouldn't an editor go through and change 257 headings to titlecase by hand? Humans are known for their abilities to do such tedious things without error, aren't they?
The whole idea of case conversion in programming languages is digustingly euro-centric. The rest of the world doesn't have such a stupid thing as case...
Really? Funny, I'm from North America, and we have a concept of case here. 90% of the languages native to the continent are written in a script that has a concept of case. In fact, I think you'd find that most of the world's languages are written in scripts that have a concept of case. Furthermore, the whole reason for Unicode is because you have to accomadate every single script's idiosyncracities; you have to include case conversion because certain scripts demand it. -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
