@davidallengreen @morfydd Ensuring you have capitals in CompoundWord #HashTags helps them too, I believe.

@nowster @davidallengreen @morfydd it’s called Camel Case, popular with unix users over the years, and makes hashtags much more accessible - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_case

Start the #hashTag with lower case, but use upper case for the first letter of each new word.

@witewulf @nowster @davidallengreen @morfydd not relevant (sorry) but I once had a new year resolution to try and rename Pascal case (Camel case with an upper case initial letter) to Llama case. Sadly it never caught on. Maybe 2023 is the year...

@jtonline @witewulf @nowster @davidallengreen @morfydd

Why is it PascalCase?

Show threadGary ParkerJul 4, 2023
@yrieithydd it’s a slightly different convention that was commonly used in the programming language Pascal

@witewulf I thought that might be it. CamelCase makes sense because it is like a Camel so more intuitive. Until today I hadn't heard about it being lower case first (but my programming knowledge is very limited)

@yrieithydd take it all with a pinch of salt. There have been nerd holy wars fought over what camel case, pascal case, dromedary case, llama case, snake case, etc. are 😀

@witewulf I can imagine. I'll stay on the edges I think!
