detaultfilter wordcap converts a string into titlecase but respect the actual uppercase

[Areski Belaid]

The defaultfilter title may in many cases be an issue to obtain a correct titlecase, for instance if the title contains acronyms or abbreviations. For instance, "SMS count"|title will display "Sms Count" which is not the desired result.

The defaultfilter wordcap try to provide a filter for this.
"SMS count"|wordcap -> "SMS Count"

I think this would be of enough general interest to include it with Django. The lower-casing behavior of the title filter has seemed funny to me. I've wanted to use something like it in the admin, but ended up having to use capfirst in its absence. The name also seems reasonable although I'd want to make sure no one can think of something better. I'll leave this ticket "unreviewed" for a second opinion. I see you've also submitted a ​pull request.

While I agree that the current implementation can be surprising when it comes to all-caps words, I would argue that:

1) It's basically a thin wrapper over Python's str.title [1] (with just a few extra special-casing for dealing with digits and apostrophes)
2) There's no such thing as "correct titlecase" since it depends on the locale (and even in English, there are different conventions)

So all-in-all, I'm personally -0 on the idea of adding a new add-hoc, English-centric template filter to the builtins.

The main idea is to deal better with acronyms and abbreviation. This is also valid for many languages, it's not just English-centric, ie Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, etc...

Yes, you are totally right, there is no such a thing as a correct titlecase.

I would agree for this not living in the core of Django, nevertheless I think this will be a good replacement where we use at the moment "title" in django-admin and for the beginners to try to deal easily with Abbreviation without creating a new templatetag.
