| − | ==Bằng tiếng Việt==
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''Xin bạn viết bài này bằng tiếng Việt.''
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==In English==
| |
| − | | |
| − | These rules apply to album and track titles:
| |
| − | * Do not capitalize any word except for:
| |
| − | ** the first letter of the text
| |
| − | ** the first letter of a sentence after . ! ? / :
| |
| − | ** the first letter of proper and geographical names (persons, cities, nations, etc.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Punctuation ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | There is a ''space'' character after punctuation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Punctuation (no space before)====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Like English, Vietnamese does not use any space before punctuation, including but not limited to ? ! ; : . , ...
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Punctuation (with space before) ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | In Vietnamese there is a ''no-break space'' ("'' ''" U+00A0) before the following punctuation:
| |
| − | * The ''exclamation mark'' ("''!''" U+0021)
| |
| − | * The ''colon'' ("'':''" U+003A)
| |
| − | * The ''semicolon'' ("'';''" U+003B)
| |
| − | * The ''question mark'' ("''?''" U+003F)
| |
| − | | |
| − | In Musicbrainz (as there are few chances to have word-warp problems), '''you can use the standard ''space'' character before ! : ; ? punctuation.'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Examples (no space)==
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Em còn nhớ hay em đã quên?
| |
| − | * Nhớ về Hà Nội
| |
| − | * Hà Nội café ơi!
| |
| − | * Liên khúc: Đêm cuối / Giận hờn
