Capitalize Titles

Java API and command line program to capitalize English titles according to the APA style (in a best-effort manner).

Caution: It doesn’t perform any Grammar analysis and thus might incorrectly return some prepositions, conjunctions, adjective, or adverbs, such as yet, out, so, etc.

Caution No 2: Has been created by a non-native speaker 🙂

Features

• Capitalizes English titles according to APA
  Example: a river runs through the city → A River Runs Through the City
  Example: my cloud-native deployment → My Cloud-Native Deployment

• Ignores trailing special characters (helpful for AsciiDoc & Markdown content)
  Example: === a river runs through the city → === A River Runs Through the City

• Honors certain characters as stop characters
  Example: breaking news: a river runs through the city → Breaking News: A River Runs Through the City

Building

To build a native executable, execute: mvn package -P native

This will create an executable binary under target/capitalize-title-runner
