Summary description: Uppercase the first letter of a word
Announcement text:
This release is part of a set of inter-connected releases all dated 2022-10-14: bib2gls v3.0, glossaries v4.50, mfirstuc v2.08 and glossaries-extra v1.49. The uploads will have to be staggered over the course of a week, but if you update mfirstuc make sure you also update the others in the set if you require them. * Reimplemented \makefirstuc in LaTeX3. This change supports UTF-8 with pdflatex. Rollback to v2.07 provided: \usepackage{mfirstuc}[=v2.07] * New command \MFUsentencecase This just uses \text_titlecase_first:n Principle features of \MFUsentencecase vs \makefirstuc are listed in Table 1 of the manual. * \makefirstuc has been rewritten to internally use \MFUsentencecase (via \glsmakefirstuc), but it still parses its argument as in previous versions. * New command \MFUexcl{<cs>} This adds a command to the case-changing exclusion list. Both \MFUsentencecase and \makefirstuc will skip the identified command and its argument, and apply sentence-casing to the content that follows. For example, glossaries.sty v4.50 implements \MFUexcl{\glsadd} * New command \MFUblocker{<cs>} This adds a command to the blocker list. This is used by \makefirstuc but not \MFUsentencecase. If the command is encountered no case-change will be applied. This is designed for commands that automatically implement a case-change that may have been nested. For example, glossaries.sty v4.50 implements \MFUblocker{\Gls} * New command \MFUaddmap{<cs1>}{<cs2>} Adds a mapping. This is used by \makefirstuc but not \MFUsentencecase. If the first command <cs1> is encountered it will be replaced with the second <cs2>. No case change will be applied. (The case-change, if appropriate, should be dealt with by the replacement command.) For example, glossaries.sty v4.50 implements \MFUaddmap{\gls}{\Gls} Order of precedence: map, blocker, exclusion * New commands \MFUsaveatend and \MFUsave

mfirstuc – Uppercase the first letter of a word
The package provides commands \makefirstuc that uppercases the first letter in its argument (with a check for a semantic markup command at the start of the argument), and \xmakefirstuc which expands the argument before uppercasing. It also provides \capitalisewords{phrase} which applies \makefirstuc to each word in the phrase , where the words are separated by regular spaces. (Exceptions can be made for words that shouldn't be converted.)
