Today i updated my Octopress blog and when i run:

rake new_post["This is a test of title"]

It creates my markdown file in source/_post/2013-02-18-this-is-a-test-of-title.markdown, then i run:

rake generate

and 

rake preview

And the post now have the title

This Is A Test Of Title

I review the source of the markdown and find that

...
title: "This is a test of title"
...

So the markdown is fine. Also in the web page i use the developer tools of Chrome to see if a css property has the value of 'capitalize' but it don't, the anchor looks like this

<a href="...">This Is A Test of Title</a>

So looks like the problem of capitalization cames from the framework.

In the wiki of imathis/octopress repostory https://github.com/imathis/octopress/issues/202 seems some people who post in other languages don't like this 'feature' and even in the Rakefile, imathis removed this line:

post.puts "title: \"#{title.gsub(/&/,'&amp;').titlecase}\""

for this one: 

post.puts "title: \"#{title.gsub(/&/,'&amp;')}\""

for that commit, so i open my Rakefile and it has the last line so my file is up-to-date, but obviously the problem persists

Any idea to how to avoid that behavior in the titles of posts?

In your _config.yml, find the line 

titlecase: true       # Converts page and post titles to titlecase

and set it to false.

More info about titlecase. You can also look at plugins/titlecase.rb to see how it works.

  • This solved the problem, i didn't find it because i assume that i 'know' what i can find in my '_config.yml', but this obviously works – Roberto Aguilar Feb 25 '13 at 21:41
