Now we have permission to take the first JavaScript implementation shown,
translate it to Java, put an Apache 2 License on it, and distribute it. For
completeness, here's the permission request I wrote to David Gouch, John Resig,
and John Gruber:
{quote}Regarding the following implementations:
* [http://individed.com/code/to-title-case/] (David Gouch)
* [https://daringfireball.net/2008/05/title_case] (John Gruber)
* [https://johnresig.com/files/titleCaps.js] (John Resig)
Would it be permissible to re-license the (JavaScript) code under an Apache 2
License for inclusion within Apache FreeMarker? (Translated to Java...)

> Header capitalization using standard styles

> Key: FREEMARKER-97
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-97
> Project: Apache Freemarker
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: engine
> Affects Versions: 2.3.28
> Reporter: T X
> Priority: Minor
>
> FreeMarker offers a couple of simple algorithms for changing the case of
> titles:
> *
> [https://freemarker.apache.org/docs/ref_builtins_string.html#ref_builtin_cap_firs|https://freemarker.apache.org/docs/ref_builtins_string.html#ref_builtin_cap_first]
> *
> [https://freemarker.apache.org/docs/ref_builtins_string.html#ref_builtin_capitalizet|https://freemarker.apache.org/docs/ref_builtins_string.html#ref_builtin_cap_first]
> Neither of these capitalize the text in ways that adhere to various standard
> styles:
> * [Chicago Manual of
> Style|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chicago_Manual_of_Style]
> * [Associated Press|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Stylebook]
> * [MLA Style Manual|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MLA_Style_Manual]
> * [APA Style|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APA_style]
> Consider the following texts:
> * On iPhone the Transcript Extends Outside of Screen Frame
> * PEAR And GNA Report Performance
> * BCMailPlusFTPClient Sends Document without Document ID
> * JWebUnit: Non-PEN Orders main.xhtml Meta Refresh Tag Issue
> These are correct as written and must not be adjusted by an algorithm that
> changes the text title. There are a couple of web sites that produce the
> expected titles (note that the second site capitalizes the word "without,"
> which implies the algorithm does not use Chicago conventions):
> * [https://titlecaseconverter.com/]
> * [http://individed.com/code/to-title-case/]
> There are a variety of implementations that perform such a feat:
> *
> [JavaScript|https://github.com/gouch/to-title-case/blob/master/to-title-case.js]
> * [Perl|https://gist.github.com/gruber/9f9e8650d68b13ce4d78]
> * [PHP|https://gist.github.com/HipsterJazzbo/2532c93a18db7451b0cec529c95b53c4]
> These implementations do not require a whitelist. (So "iPhone" and
> "ClassName" will remain as given.) Apache Commons' {{WordUtils}} class does
> not implement Chicago Style, and I suspect it is also a fairly simple
> algorithm.
> Since {{?capitalize}} and {{?cap_first}} are taken, I propose {{?title_case}}
> with an optional parameter (default is Chicago):
> * chicago
> * ap
> * apa
> * mla
