Question

When I have a title for a page, I want it to only capitalize the words that are supposed to be capitalized in my language.

Answer

This recipe does just that. You assign the words you don't want upper cased, and this script does the rest. The list of lower cased words comprises common English words. For what its worth, the "rule" for lower casing is all articles (a, an, the), conjunctions (e.g. and, but), and prepositions of less than five letters (e.g. we lower case "from" but not "Until"). The list is not comprehensive.
