Make English headlines consistent in upper / lower style
StefanZoerner opened this issue · 5 comments
In the English table of contents, the headings are inconsistent with respect to upper and lower case.
Example from the start:
Legal Notice
List of Learning Goals
Introduction
What does a Foundation Level training convey?
Out of scope
Prerequisites
Structure, duration and teaching methods
I did a little research, and learned that there are no binding rules, but there are styles. In the press, for example, Up-Stype and Down-Style (depending on the newspaper).

In the Advanced WG we had the same issue, and opted for Up-Style.
However, hardly any curricula have been adapted to this in our department. We only have a look at new and revised curricula.
@alxlo decides capitalization
Ok - then we follow the Advanced Level and go for an Up-style:
- uppercase for all substantives and verbs
- prepositions, articles may remain lowercase
all changes in uppercase for headings go into the branch #246-Up-style-for-headings
who wants to do similar things, should install this VS-Code extension:

Hi @StefanZoerner , hi @gernotstarke ,
I have just found your ticket. I suggest the following pull request: #345. So I simply looked how the text has been written right now and derived from that a hopefully consistent suggestion. Feel free to give comments in the pull request if you prefer another approach.
