Hi everyone,
currently, CSL specs define title casing (text-case="title") as uppercasing
the first letter of every word that isn't on a list of "stop words".
http://citationstyles.org/downloads/specification.html#title-case-conversion
According to the Chicago Manual of Style - which has to the best of my
knowledge the most thorough rules for title casing, _all_ propositions
should be lowercased
I would like to propose (and Frank & Rintze agree) to bring the specs in
line with CMoS on this, i.e. rephrase the rule as "preopositions as well as
the following stop words..."
Current citeproc-js behavior is a hybrid, with some additional
prepositions, not listed in the specs, already included, but others missing.
On the technical side, while we may miss some prepositions and some words
may be ambiguous, I don't think it'd be hard to find & add a list of
prepositions to title-casing.
Are there any concerns or objections?
Sebastian
