Ruby String Extensions To Add Title Case Support

A set of methods added onto the String class to allow easy title casing of strings.

This extension is available as a gem via GitHub:

$ sudo gem install samsouder-titlecase --source=http://gems.github.com

Usage:

require 'rubygems'
require 'titlecase'

puts "this is a test".titlecase

Derived from the rules set by John Gruber at http://daringfireball.net/2008/05/title_case. I also derived my test cases from his set. If you find any edge cases, please feel free to add them to the examples.yaml file.

Rules from John Gruber:

• capitalize each word
• downcase each of the small_words
• words with capitals after the first character are left alone
• words with periods are left alone
• first and last word always capitalized
• small words after colons are capitalized
