title-capitalization.el — Proper English title capitalization of a marked region

This Emacs package provides the function title-capitalization. In case you selected a region (usually a heading/title), this function does capitalize the words according to general English rules.

For details, please do read my blog entry on http://karl-voit.at/2015/05/25/elisp-title-capitalization/

Why

It is wasted brain energy to do the task by yourself.

Usage

Mark the line of your title and invoke: title-capitalization

I have mapped it to C-c C-, c via:

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-,") 'my-map) ;; my personal prefix/map
(define-key my-map "c" 'title-capitalization)

Bonus: Your Own List of Exceptions

You can define a variable containing a list with exceptions. For example, if you want to have ”lazyblorg” and ”mutt” not capitalized in headings, use following snippet:

;; additionally to the list defined in title-capitalization:
(defvar my-do-not-capitalize-words '("lazyblorg" "mutt")
  "My personal list of words that doesn't get capitalized in titles.")

I got the idea for this code from a script by Doug Adams.

The code contains valuable and major contributions from David Mann, Barry Fishman, Santiago Mejia, Julien Chastang, and others from the Emacs development mailinglist.
