Ruby library: adds String#titleize to properly capitalize titles

Primary LanguageRuby

Titleize

http://rubygems.org/gems/titleize

Description

Adds String#titleize for creating properly capitalized titles. It can be called as Titleize.titleize or "a string".titleize. It is also aliased as titlecase.

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

If loaded in a Rails environment, it modifies Inflector#titleize. By default ActiveSupport calls Inflector#underscore and Inflector#humanize. This however can be problematic with words like "iPod", "GPS", and "McArthur". To disable this behavior, use the options :underscore => false and :humanize => false.

Based on TitleCase.pl by John Gruber.

Synopsis
