Just like issue #1945, some section descriptions in the Language page seem to have inconsistent casing and use of periods.

Examples:

  • Perl 6 Terms
  • Unicode Support in Perl 6
  • What are contexts and how to get into them.

Unlike 'Functional Programming' or 'Object Orientation' in other descriptions, I'm not sure if
'Unicode Support' and 'Perl 6 Terms' are being used as proper noun here though.

Regarding the period, most of the descriptions don't have it.

Inconsistent capitalization is everywhere: #1945. I'm all for using capital only in the first letter.

Yes, use sentence case. When in doubt, just do whatever wikipedia does. What's good for them can't be harmful for us. Maybe even add that idea to the styleguide.

I'm sorry, I'm opening this back. Although it's been done as requested, I have noticed that now many links to anchors are no longer correct, since they kept the former capitalization. I would you ask to please go back to those changed, and check them extensively. In general, any link-to-anchor with capitals is now suspect.

I'm going to close this as think it's done with the merge. The hrefs are quite odd generally and the links too (in terms of consistency of formation, I think) so will maybe have a look into it (i.e. not consistent whether the anchor links to the id/name or a special class).

Please also do make test as well as make xtest to make sure tests were not broken by the merge. I see some issues with travis.

Yep. If I know my sh*t, I would say it's related to the placement of an X indexing mark. I'll try to check it out.

Well, I apparently looked at an old commit. Those are the intermittent errors we know about already. As long as one of the tests passes, it's OK, I guess.

And while I'm at it, @MorayJ , great job, thanks! Thanks also @Altai-man for checking everything here.
