What Is Title Case?
In title case, the first letters of all words —except those given below —are capitalized.
The following words should not be capitalized:
· Articles (a, an, and the)
· Coordinating conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so —FANBOYS)
· The words to and as
· Part of a proper name that is lowercased in the text (e.g., de and von)
· Prepositions, except when they are stressed (e.g., through in A River Runs
Through It) or are part of a Latin expression used adverbially or adjectivally (e.g.,
In Vitro)
