upper and lower case
Hi, Derek, how come in all of your bibliographic entries you only put Caps on the first word of the title? I know that the French don't use all that many Caps, but the standard English usage for book titles is Caps on all words except, I think, prepositions and "a" "and" and "the". Ie, "A History of the Strange and Multi-colored World." I'm sure that Ro, our other resident grammarian will support me on this. Cheers! Hayford Peirce 20:00, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
- This is handled differently and varies e.g., from journal to journal. See e.g. here -- APA style uses lowercase. As an aside: This lowercasing often is then sometimes also used (automatically) for German titles where it is not approproiate. Peter Schmitt 22:50, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
