| − | ==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 |
