Plus Codes capitalization inconsistent with marketing website

Open fulldecent opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

The OLC naming guidelines specifies:

[Plus codes] should not be capitalised...

However, the Google marketing website at https://maps.google.com/pluscodes/ repeatedly fails to follow these specifications. Plus codes is used in title case. (There are some cases where it is used in a heading, but context shows that headings are using sentence case, not title case.)

I understand that those projects maybe not be directly related to this repository and the website is not under version control here (it should be!) but please work with me. I have a lot of work to do here and need some help...

Recommended tag: documentation

Unfortunate given how the documentation here was so insistent on lowercase, but Google's new style preference is "Plus Codes". Will keep this issue to track inconsistencies in code/documentation.

Understood. I'm on it.

This issue is partially fixed at https://github.com/google/open-location-code/pull/463.

All documentation is updated. And the implementations are not updated.

I would like to help more here. But requesting, please, a review of that PR first. We can merge that and then I can work on making the implementations conformant.
