What is capital case?

Capital case, also known as title case, is a text formatting style where the first letter of each word is capitalized while the remaining letters are lowercase. This convention is widely used in titles, headings, and proper nouns across many languages. For example, "the quick brown fox" becomes "The Quick Brown Fox" when converted to capital case.

Capital case improves readability and gives text a more formal, professional appearance. It's a fundamental formatting technique used in book titles, article headlines, product names, and document headings. Different style guides may have variations on which words to capitalize, but the basic principle remains the same.
