titlecaps
package.
Summary description: Routines for setting rich-text input into Titling Caps
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The titlecaps package is intended for setting rich text into titling
capitals (in which the first character of words are capitalized). It
automatically accounts for diacritical marks (like umlauts), national
symbols (like ae), punctuation, and font changing commands that alter
the appearance or size of the text. It allows a list of predesignated
words to be protected as lower-cased, and also allows for titling
exceptions of various sorts.

diagrams).
Also bug fixes and other minor improvements.

The following changes have been implemented since the last release in TL2012:

* renaming of the setup script: new name: kanji-config-updmap (to avoid problems on Windows)
* differentiation of various families
Thanks goes to the hard work of
Hironori Kitagawa
Takuji Tanaka
and
Yato Takayuki
for his findings on JIS2004.
