Title Case with Initials

[Michael Parkinson]

How to avoid Capitalize with Title Case making some letters lower case such as initials.  For example, "S. A. Cosby" becomes "S. a. Cosby" when using Capitalize with Title Case.  Is there another method?

Right now, I think the Title Case cleaner evaluates words, ignoring punctuation like periods (which would represent initials).

There are a lot of complex rules that go into Title Case (the approach is based on the one John Gruber originally offered up), so I don't know what it will take to support initials in the title case.

For now, a workaround would be to wrap it in a custom cleaner. Apply the Title Case cleaner, then add a Find/Replace and look for \b[:lower:]\. and replace with $u$0
