Nicola Talbot submitted an update to the

mfirstuc

package.

Version number: 2.08 2022-10-14 License type: lppl1.3

Summary description: Uppercase the first letter of a word

Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

This release is part of a set of inter-connected releases all dated 2022-10-14: bib2gls v3.0, glossaries v4.50, mfirstuc v2.08 and glossaries-extra v1.49. The uploads will have to be staggered over the course of a week, but if you update mfirstuc make sure you also update the others in the set if you require them.

* Reimplemented makefirstuc in LaTeX3. This change supports UTF-8 with pdflatex.

Rollback to v2.07 provided:

usepackage{mfirstuc}[=v2.07]

* New command MFUsentencecase

This just uses ext_titlecase_first:n

Principle features of MFUsentencecase vs makefirstuc are listed in Table 1 of the manual.

* makefirstuc has been rewritten to internally use MFUsentencecase (via glsmakefirstuc), but it still parses its argument as in previous versions.

* New command MFUexcl{<cs>}

This adds a command to the case-changing exclusion list. Both MFUsentencecase and makefirstuc will skip the identified command and its argument, and apply sentence-casing to the content that follows.

For example, glossaries.sty v4.50 implements MFUexcl{glsadd}

* New command MFUblocker{<cs>}

This adds a command to the blocker list. This is used by makefirstuc but not MFUsentencecase. If the command is encountered no case-change will be applied. This is designed for commands that automatically implement a case-change that may have been nested.

For example, glossaries.sty v4.50 implements MFUblocker{Gls}

* New command MFUaddmap{<cs1>}{<cs2>}

Adds a mapping. This is used by makefirstuc but not MFUsentencecase. If the first command <cs1> is encountered it will be replaced with the second <cs2>. No case change will be applied. (The case-change, if appropriate, should be dealt with by the replacement command.)

For example, glossaries.sty v4.50 implements MFUaddmap{gls}{Gls}

Order of precedence: map, blocker, exclusion

* New commands MFUsaveatend and MFUsave
