How is proper case different from title case?

Proper case here capitalizes In and The in A Day In The Sun. Title Case gives A Day in the Sun using its fixed small-word list. Both results remain visible so you can compare them.

Does it handle names, apostrophes and hyphens?

It is mechanical and does not infer names: McDONALD becomes Mcdonald, O’NEILL becomes O’neill, and mother-in-law becomes Mother-in-law. It capitalizes the first letter of the whitespace-separated word, not every section after punctuation.

Can I convert all caps to capitalized case?

Yes. HELLO WORLD becomes Hello World. Numbers and punctuation are retained. Casing uses default Unicode mappings rather than a selected language locale.

Will opening this example replace my draft?

The preset example stays separate from the remembered draft until you edit it. All other case results and their Copy buttons remain available.
