Ruby String Extensions To Add Title Case Support
A set of methods added onto the String class to allow easy title casing of strings.
This extension is available as a gem via GitHub:
$ sudo gem install samsouder-titlecase --source=http://gems.github.com
Usage:
require 'rubygems'
require 'titlecase'
puts "this is a test".titlecase
Derived from the rules set by John Gruber at <daringfireball.net/2008/05/title_case>. I also derived my test cases from his set. If you find any edge cases, please feel free to add them to the examples.yaml file.
Rules from John Gruber:
- capitalize each word
- downcase each of the small_words
- words with capitals after the first character are left alone
- words with periods are left alone
- first and last word always capitalized
- small words after colons are capitalized
