Fix name capitalization #630

Open karlhorky opened 4 months ago

karlhorky commented 4 months ago

Hi, thanks for Oxipng!

I saw further down in the readme that Oxipng was being used in the middle of a sentence with a capital O, so I adjusted the other lowercase usages (other than the usages in backticks, which may instead refer to the command line program itself) from "oxipng" to also use "Oxipng"

Need to check in with @shssoichiro what the naming intention is! :-)

Oddly enough, I tend to capitalize OxiPNG like that, not as Oxipng or oxipng... :joy:

@AlexTMjugador Personally, I think that makes it look too similar to OptiPNG 😆

ace-dent commented 4 months ago

Not sure if it's open to voting(!?)... but my preference is oxipng and capitalised at the start of a sentence.

oxipng and capitalised at the start of a sentence.

Usually mixing like this will lead to style confusion - often it's better to have a single, strong capitalization style for a brand name and stick with it (regardless of where the word is used in the sentence).

However, that's not to say that the brand name for the project / ecosystem can't be styled differently than the brand name for the command line interface, for example:

  1. Oxipng (capital O, everything else lowercase) for the brand name for the project / ecosystem / anything else
  2. oxipng (all lowercase, enclosed in backticks) for the brand name for the command line interface program
