Automatic Capitalisation

September 1, 2014
StudyStays now automatically adjusts letter case where it looks like people have entered all upper- or lower-case text, or haven't capitalised the first words in their sentences for listing details.

We hope this will give listings’ text more consistency, without admins needing to make as many manual adjustments.

Here's an example of some listing text and how it will be automatically adjusted:

Before:
Address: 30 almondbury rd, MT LAWLEY 6050

Details:
gardens and parks nearby. polished floors throughout, large and medium sized room available.fully furnished kitchen and laundry. shared bills and bond required. 

After:
Address:  30 Almondbury Rd, Mt Lawley 6050

Details:
Gardens and parks nearby. Polished floors throughout, large and medium sized room available. Fully furnished kitchen and laundry. Shared bills and bond required.

StudyStays will use Title Case (where the first letter of every word is capitalised) for things like names and addresses, and Sentence Case (where the first letter of the first word in every sentence is capitalised) for things like listing details.

This will mainly affect form entries submitted by non-Administrators, that is: student and provider registrations, and listings. If automatic capitalisation is applied, it will be done after a form is submitted.

This capitalisation will only be applied to new or edited listings—existing listings will remain as they are.
