*NOTE: In the code below, I only applied lowercasing rules to a few of the
many short conjunctions/articles/prepositions. A final solution would
expand the code to include all of the short words.*
Ok, that was fun. Here's how I approached it (paste the following content
into a new tiddler) :
\define SetToTitleCaseCap(inputTitle)
<$text text=
{{{ [enlist:raw[$inputTitle$]] +[rest[1]] +[lowercase[]] +[sentencecase[]]
a +[replace[A]] an +[replace[An]] in +[replace[In]] the +[replace[The]]
+[join[ ]] [enlist:raw[$inputTitle$]first[1]lowercase[]sentencecase[]]
+[putfirst[]] +[join[ ]] }}}/>
\end
* <<SetToTitleCaseCap "SOME TITLE">>
* <<SetToTitleCaseCap "some title">>
* <<SetToTitleCaseCap "an adventure in tiddlywiki filtering, or an
otherwise interesting doodad">>
* <<SetToTitleCaseCap "A good time having coffee with a friend">>
* <<SetToTitleCaseCap "The time i laughed to snort in the car">>
