Capitals in Titles

 

Hi all,

As I've been doing some editing just now, I have noticed there is a lot of
variation in the way people are using capitals in titles. We need to decide
on this so it is consistent throughout.

Currently, (unless I have missed one) our title hierarchy has four (4)
levels: Chapter; section; subsection and subsubsection.

I propose the following:

1) Chapter Titles Start Each Word With A Capital
2) Sections Start Each Word With A Capital

3) Subsections only first word has capital
4) Subsubsections also only capitalize first word

Happy to hear people's thoughts on this. Perhaps it should be more of a
typographic/design decision based on how the headings will 'look' if we
followed this system. I don't really mind how we do it, as long as we can
work out something for consistency.
