retain capitalization and whitespace in Jyutping-to-Yale #11

Closed jacksonllee closed 4 years ago

jacksonllee commented 9 years ago

In Jyutping-to-Yale conversion, if the input Jyutping string has capitalization that mimics orthographic conventions in English (e.g., uppercase for proper names), then we may want to allow an option to retain capitalization. (h.t. Stephan Stiller)

While we are on the subject of retaining the input style, we may also want to consider retaining input whitespace (most probably for word segmentation).

Closing this for now, as there seems to be no or little interest in this feature. Could re-open in the future.
