TITLE CASE
===

A port of John Gruber's title casing script to Ruby.

Original Perl Source: http://daringfireball.net/projects/titlecase/TitleCase.pl

This filter changes all words to Title Caps, and attempts to be clever
about *un*capitalizing small words like a/an/the in the input.

The list of "small words" which are not capped comes from
the New York Times Manual of Style, plus 'vs' and 'v'.

INSTALL:

Download the tarball for now, will be mirrored to ruby forge shortly.


USAGE

Either create a new instance of TitleClass with the string as an argument, or use the monkeypatched #titlecase method on 
string objects.

    require 'rubygems'
    require 'titlecase'
    TitleCase.new("my little string").to_s #=> "My Little String"
    "a boat, a duck: a bit too much".titlecase #=> "A Boat, a Duck: A Bit Too Much"
