E,
Title Casing is having the first letter of appropriate words capitalized. I know the issue isn't all that simple. I mean, there are the usual words to leave alone, like the leading word, even if it is something like Of. Look at that, I ended a sentence with Of!! Whereas, you would leave it non-capitalized in the middle of a title. There's also the issue of getting FBI correct, and not Fbi. As it is, I'd say Calibre is something in excess of 98 percent correct these days, especially after retrieving meta data. But some truly odd exceptions seem to slip through and all of them aren't e.e. cummings' collections.
Speaking of which, one other question about the process. I'll do the lazy thing and get five new tomes highlighted and hit Ctrl-D. Calibre will then go out on the inner tubes and collect the meta data. Every now and then, the title of one of the books will be different. Indeed, the book will be transformed, meta data-wise, into a completely different book. The reason, upon further review, was that in the multi-book listing of potential books offered up by Calibre, the first one has a title VAGUELY resembling the one in question. And seemingly all the time, there is the EXACT title match listed second, occasionally third. Why does Calibre prefer a title in the ballpark rather than the exact match that is in the list of potential books and the meta data?
Doesn't happen often, but when it does, it just leaves one a little puzzled.
You'd think my teachers would have taught me not to answer a question with a question. But you'd be wrong [G].
Thanks for taking the time to answer the first one.
