Grammar
Capitalization in titles
Hello,
I would like to ask which capitalisation rules for headings are common. I always thought that only nouns should be capitalized but today I read that also verbs and adjectives and adverbs should be capitalised. What if I capitalise only nouns, would it be a mistake?
Thank you

Can you give an examples of a heading you would use? I was always taught to capitalize important words. You don't capitalize things such as "of" or "the" unless they are at the beginning.

- However, you will find that everyone does headings differently when writing on the net.
- For example, I am writing for a grammar website and she does not want subheadings capitalized (only the first word).

Here is the heading I mean:
Analysis and Recommendations for Action

concerning the use of Social Media in Web 2.0
based on the example of...

I would write:
Analysis and Recommendations for Action for Medical Device Companies Concerning the Use of Social Media in Web 2.0
Based on the Example of...
All of the important words are capitalized. That's how I was always taught. Prepositions don't normally get capitalized.
Is "based on the example of..." part of the heading?
That's a long heading!

The heading is really long. "Based on the Example ..." also belongs to the heading. But this is a translation and I do not see any possibility to tell it differently.
Thank you for the capitalization.
