[jira] [Updated] (FREEMARKER-97) Header capitalization using
standard styles
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-97?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
T X updated FREEMARKER-97:
--------------------------
Description:
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
