Smart Title Case Converter

Convert headlines to proper title case, correctly keeping short words like "of" and "the" lowercase.

A naive title case converter capitalizes every single word, which produces awkward results like "The Lord Of The Rings" instead of the correct "The Lord of the Rings." This tool follows standard editorial style rules, keeping short connecting words lowercase unless they start or end the title.

Words like "a," "an," "the," "of," "in," "and," and similar short articles, conjunctions, and prepositions stay lowercase in the middle of a title, matching the convention used by AP style, Chicago style, and most professional publications.

This is the correct approach for headlines, book titles, article titles, and any heading where a naive "capitalize every word" result would look noticeably wrong to anyone familiar with standard style conventions.
