Re: [STDS-802-11-EDITORS] A REVme comment on hyphenation: any advice?

Hello Edward,

 

Could you provide some examples?

 

We have a general rule that we don’t capitalize terms. So I presume you are talking about names (which we do capitalize). Do you mean things like

No-Fragmentation field vs No-fragmentation field

 

My personal opinion is that we should capitalize all words in a name, even the word after the hyphen (e.g., Flim-Flam field). And further should capitalize conjunctions and prepositions in the name as well (e.g., Flim After Flam field, Flim With Flam field, Flim And Flam field, etc.)

 

-Robert

Dear Robert and all,

 

Do you have any comment or suggestion on the following REVme comment on hyphenation?

---

We need to reach consensus on whether hyphenated terms in uppercase context have all initial letters capitalised or only the very first one

---

Thanks and Regards,
Edward
