Easily implement title capitalization:titleFilter

The AnqiCMS template engine borrows syntax features from Django, including various practical filters that can help us format output content. To convert the first letter of each word in the article title to uppercase and the rest to lowercase, we can usetitlefilter.

This filter is very smart, it will process each word in the title, ensuring that the first letter of each word is capitalized and the rest of the letters are converted to lowercase.This method of processing is particularly important for maintaining the consistency and aesthetics of the title, as it can automatically correct any mixed case or all uppercase words, making the title present a unified style.

How to usetitleFilter?

Firstly, we need to locate the template file that displays the article title. In AnqiCMS, the detail page of the article usually uses a template similar todetail.htmland the article list page may belist.html.

In these templates, the article title is usually output through{{ archive.Title }}or{{ item.Title }}such variables, wherearchiverepresents the article detail object,itemrepresents each item in the article list.

to apply these titles totitleFilter, just add it after the variable|titleThat's it, like this:

{# 在文章详情页中，将标题每个单词的首字母大写 #}
<h1>{{ archive.Title|title }}</h1>

{# 在文章列表页中，将列表中每篇文章的标题每个单词的首字母大写 #}
{% for item in archives %}
    <h2><a href="{{ item.Link }}">{{ item.Title|title }}</a></h2>
{% endfor %}

After you save these changes and refresh the page, you will find that all article titles are displayed neatly on your website, in the expected format, with the first letter of each word capitalized and the rest in lowercase.
