{{Ombox |text='''Notice:''' This template is primarily intended for use by {{tl|fixcaps}} where the formatted lowercase output is eventually copied back, or [[Wikipedia:Substitution|subst:]]{{hair space}}ed, into an article after editing/previewing. It is, therefore, mostly non-transcluded.}}

== Usage ==
{{tl|Str case title word}} sets the lowercase or capital-letter format of a word in a title, as with a book or film title. Most words will be displayed with a capital-letter, followed by all lowercase letters, while a preposition or article (a/an/the) will be shown in lowercase letters. A leading "+" forces all lowercase. A leading [[caret]] symbol ("^") will cause the text to display unchanged, so "^woRDs" would show "woRDs". Prepositions include: ''about, after, at, before, by, for, in, into, of, on, onto, over, under, with'' and ''without''.

An extra space is added at the end except after a single slash, quotation mark, left parenthesis or separate apostrophes (<nowiki>'''</nowiki>).

--NOTES
--
-- NOTE A1: Each word can be a punctuation mark, as well as a string
--      of letters. When separated, apostrophes, quotemarks, left
--      parentheses or dashes are repeated without a trailing space.
--      Other words or characters are followed by a space.
--
-- NOTE S2: Every markup function has "{{{|safesubst:}}}" here to
--      allow the template-call prefix "{subst:Str case title word}"
--      to substitute the results of the template, when saving the
--      page after editing. Unless "{{{|safesubst:}}}" is put on
--      every markup function, then that logic will fail to work
--      when "subst:" is used, even though it works in default mode.
--      See [[WP:Subst]] for more information on substitutions.
