In the English table of contents, the headings are inconsistent with respect to upper and lower case.
Example from the start:

Legal Notice
List of Learning Goals
Introduction
What does a Foundation Level training convey?
Out of scope
Prerequisites
Structure, duration and teaching methods

I did a little research, and learned that there are no binding rules, but there are styles. In the press, for example, Up-Stype and Down-Style (depending on the newspaper).

In the Advanced WG we had the same issue, and opted for Up-Style.

However, hardly any curricula have been adapted to this in our department. We only have a look at new and revised curricula.

@alxlo decides capitalization

Ok - then we follow the Advanced Level and go for an Up-style:

  • uppercase for all substantives and verbs
  • prepositions, articles may remain lowercase

all changes in uppercase for headings go into the branch #246-Up-style-for-headings

Hi @StefanZoerner , hi @gernotstarke ,

I have just found your ticket. I suggest the following pull request: #345. So I simply looked how the text has been written right now and derived from that a hopefully consistent suggestion. Feel free to give comments in the pull request if you prefer another approach.

martinweck pushed a commit to martinweck/curriculum-foundation that referenced this issue Jan 15, 2023
- chapter: title case
- section: sentence case
- everything below, e.g. bullets: lower case (terms like cloud native in LG 1-10 in italics)

hint:
- title case: 1st word, nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives and subordinate conjunctions start capitalized
- sentence case: 1st letter capitalized
- It does not matter how we do it, but the golden rule is to do whatever you do consistently
