\title{Convert Titles to Title Case}
\description{
  Convert a character vector to title case, especially package titles.
}
\usage{
toTitleCase(text)
}
\arguments{
  \item{text}{a character vector.}
}
\details{
  This is intended for English text only.

  No definition of\sQuote{title case} is universally accepted: all agree
  that \sQuote{principal} words are capitalized and common words like
  \sQuote{for} are not, but not which words fall into each category.

  Generally words in all capitals are left alone: this implementation
  knows about conventional mixed-case words such as \sQuote{LaTeX} and
  \sQuote{OpenBUGS} and a few technical terms which are not usually
  capitalized such as \sQuote{jar} and \sQuote{xls}.  However, unknown
  technical terms will be capitalized unless they are single words
  enclosed in single quotes: names of packages and libraries should be
  quoted in titles.
}
\value{
  A character vector of the same length as \code{text}, without names.
