Text Case

Simple, multilingual solution for capitalization formatting

This project is an unofficial implementation of the textcase crate, and its developers have no affiliation with it.

Quick Start

#import "@preview/textcase:0.1.0": contextual

// "Sentence case text."
#contextual.sentence-case("sentence case text.")

// "Sentence case title: Subtitle"
#contextual.sentence-case-title("sentence case title: subtitle")

// "Title Case: Subtitle"
#contextual.title-case("title case: subtitle")

// "sentence-title"
#contextual.detect-case("Sentence case title: Subtitle")

// "camelCaseString"
#contextual.convert("camel case string", mode: "camel")

The #textcase.contextual module allows obtaining the locale from #text.lang. The same commands are available directly without this functionality.

Description

Multilingual sentence and title recasing for Latin-script languages. This recases text whose capitalization is wrong or missing — lowercase feeds, SHOUTED titles, Title Cased Prose — while preserving capitalization that carries information. It works without any external data. Conversion to string cases is also supported, as well as the detection of prose or string case¹ of a text.
