Guess Case

From MusicBrainz Wiki

This is the wiki page for the GuessCase JavaScript function.

Keschte has enhanced the guess case script and addressed most of the GuessCaseOldSuggestions.

[edit] Implemented modes

• GuessCaseMode/DefaultMode - handles english titles.
  • Implements CapitalizationStandardEnglish
  • All the official formatting StyleGuidelines

• GuessCaseMode/SentenceMode - handles the same cases than the GuessCaseMode/DefaultMode, but
  • Titles only the first word of a sentence.

• If there are multiple sentences in a title, each one is handled as a separate sentence. (meaning: the next word after one of the sentence stop characters "?", "!", ".", ";", "/" is titled again)

• • Does not title words after a hyphen.

• Example: Peut-être, the second part is not titled
  • This will be eventually moved into a GuessCaseMode/FrenchMode --Keschte

• GuessCaseMode/ClassicalMode - handles specific cases of the ClassicalStyleGuideline

[edit] New modes under discussion

• GuessCaseMode/FrenchMode

• (see the open tickets of the guess case function)
