Velocity script function to output text as Title Caps

Question

Does a function exist for Velocity that will transform a string of text to title caps format?  For example, if first name is in all-caps, how can output that as Xxxxx?

Hi @dan_stevens_ ,Unfortunately, there isn't a built-in method in velocity for capitalizing each word in a string. So we manually achieve title casing by splitting the input text into words, capitalizing the first letter of each word, and converting the rest of the letters to lowercase.In this example, the input text "take me out to the ballgame" will be converted to "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" using Velocity script.#set($inputText = "take me out to the ballgame")#set($words = $inputText.split(" "))#foreach($word in $words)  #set($capitalizedWord = $word.substring(0,1).toUpperCase() + $word.substring(1).toLowerCase())  $capitalizedWord###endEnding the output with a ## to remove any extra spaces$capitalizedWord##

I actually found the solution that @sanfordwhiteman provided here: https://nation.marketo.com/t5/product-discussions/velocity-scripting-make-lowercase/td-p/26358

But what if there are more than one name in the firstname field, e.g., "JOHN MICHAEL"?
