Examples

• hello world becomes Hello World in Title Case, Hello world in Sentence case and helloWorld in camelCase.
• don’t stop becomes Don’t Stop in Title Case: the apostrophe stays and only the first letter of the word is capitalised.
• well-known fact becomes Well-Known Fact in Title Case, because a hyphen separates two words.
• first line and second line on separate lines both start with a capital in Sentence case, because a line break starts a new sentence.

The five cases, and when to use them

UPPERCASE and lowercase

These change every letter and leave spaces, punctuation and line breaks alone. UPPERCASE is useful for headings and labels; lowercase is useful for usernames, email addresses and tags.

Title Case

Title Case capitalises the first letter of each word and lowercases the rest. Words joined by a hyphen count as separate words, so “well-known” becomes “Well-Known”. Because the rest of each word is lowercased, an acronym such as NASA becomes Nasa — write acronyms back in capitals afterwards if you need them.

Sentence case

Sentence case lowercases everything, then capitalises the first letter after a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark followed by a space, and the first letter of each line. Decimals such as 3.14 are not treated as sentence breaks. This is the case most style guides recommend for headings.

camelCase

camelCase removes spaces and punctuation, lowercases the first word and capitalises every word after it, so “user profile settings” becomes “userProfileSettings”. It is common in JavaScript variables, JSON keys and database column names.
