Glitches in Case-change functions

[tharpold]

The "Global Change/Change Case..." function in BE 9.0.1 appears to have a small glitch with titles that include certain forms of punctuation in the body of the title.

Converting this title --

Preface to the translation of Charcot’s "lectures on diseases of the nervous system"

-- from Sentence to Title case produces --

Preface to the Translation of Charcot’s "lectures on Diseases of the Nervous System"

Note that the l of lectures is lower-case. Similarly, this title --

Draft K. the neuroses of defence: a Christmas fairy tale

-- is converted to --

Draft K. the Neuroses of Defence: a Christmas Fairy Tale

...

The Title Case Change conversion appears to have some trouble with certain forms of punctuation inside the title field: notably, periods, semicolons, colons, single and double quotation marks and parentheses. Roman numerals ("lxvii") also pose problems, but this seems to me unavoidable.

Preface to the translation of Charcot’s "lectures on diseases of the nervous system"

-- from Sentence to Title case produces --

Preface to the Translation of Charcot’s "lectures on Diseases of the Nervous System"

Note that the l of lectures is lower-case.

Hm, I think I fixed this a while ago. In any case, in 9.0.2 I get

Peface to the Translation of Charcot’s "Lectures on Diseases of the Nervous System"

Similarly, this title --

Draft K. the neuroses of defence: a Christmas fairy tale

-- is converted to --

Draft K. the Neuroses of Defence: a Christmas Fairy Tale

Again, in 9.0.2 I get

Draft K. The Neuroses of Defence: A Christmas Fairy Tale.

So get 9.0.2 when it's released (or get the beta) and see if it now works for you, too.
