Traditionally, the titles of works published in English are given maximal capitalisation. That is to say, capitalise the first word and all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs. Do not capitalise articles, conjunctions or prepositions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the first word of a subtitle after a colon is generally capitalised, whatever part of speech it may be (see also Other uses of colons<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, too, that when writing individual titles you can often exercise a certain amount of personal judgement. A short title, for example, may look better if words that are often lowercased are capitalised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the headings of document sections, however, use sentence-style capitalisation (first word and proper nouns) instead of title-style capitalisation (first word and all nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs), although the exact style will also depend on the number of levels of hierarchy. Capitalise the first letter of the first word, but lowercase the rest, including the first word after a colon (except for those words that would normally be capitalised in running text).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first element of a compound word is always capitalised in a title; the second element is also capitalised unless it is an article, a preposition or a coordinating conjunction.<\/p>\n

Second elements that are hyphenated to prefixes are capitalised only if they are proper nouns or nouns used as adjectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
