AP versus APA: differences in capitalizing the last word of a title #8

Hi, I noticed that this project indicates that AP style and APA style have identical rules for title capitalization and thus treats the two interchangeably.

However, from this page, I found out that "AP, CMOS, MLA, the New York Times, and Wikipedia have a rule to always capitalize the last word of a title. AMA, APA, and Bluebook do not have such a rule, which means a preposition at the end of a title is lowercased in these styles (Be Careful What You Wish for)."

Could you add an option for us to include a preference on whether to capitalize the last words of titles, please? Thank you for all of your work on this project.

Hiya! I’m not too familiar with this. But if what you‘re saying is correct, then a PR would be welcome!
