# A smarter string capitaliser. Everyone knows that in words that start with certain prefixes,
# the prefix should be left in lower- or mixed-case when the word is made 'all-caps.'
# For instance, MacDonald becomes MacDONALD rather than MACDONALD, iPod becomes
# iPOD instead of IPOD, etc. This script attempts to be vaguely clever about doing that while
# also avoiding doing the same with intercapsed or camelcased product names like QuarkXPress.
# The cut-off point was set at four characters because the longest surname prefix that ought
# to be left in mixed-case that I could think of was 'Fitz,' but this causes problems with some
# product names, and they can be listed in @exceptions. Included are MacBook, AirPort, WiFi,
# and PostScript. If you have any other word suggestions, mail them to me at the address on

// A javascript port of my Perl string capitaliser. Possibly someone who is better at
// DOM scripting than me could make a script that would automatically apply this to any
// element styled with text-transform: uppercase.
// Again, the algorithm is too simple to be worth insisting on attribution, but if you
// do use this script anywhere, please attribute it to me in a comment block somewhere.
