❓ FAQ
QHow does title() behave with words containing apostrophes?
AIt is not smart enough. "they're".title() gives "They'Re", where the 're after the apostrophe is treated as a new word and capitalized. Be careful when processing English text.
QWhat is the difference from capitalize()?
Atitle() capitalizes the first letter of every word and lowercases the rest; capitalize() only capitalizes the very first character of the whole string and lowercases everything else.
QHow do I check whether a string is already in title format?
AUse istitle(). Note that a result produced by title() is not necessarily True for istitle(), for example "They'Re".
