Text formatting is essential for both program code structure (camelCase, snake_case) and grammatical typography (Sentence Case, Title Case). This guide covers the formatting structures and when to apply them.
Supported Capitalization Cases
| Case Format | Example Output | Primary Industry / Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| camelCase | myVariableCase | JavaScript, TypeScript, and Java variable styling |
| snake_case | my_variable_case | Python variables, databases, and JSON API payloads |
| kebab-case | my-variable-case | CSS classes, URL slugs, and HTML attributes |
| Title Case | My Variable Case | Blog article headings, book titles, and menus |
| Sentence case | My variable case | Normal text paragraphs and prose descriptions |
When to use kebab-case for URL Slugs
Search engines split words in URLs via hyphens. Using kebab-case (e.g., 'seo-optimization-tips') signals word bounds, whereas underscores or spaces cause encoding bloat (e.g., '%20') or parsing anomalies.
