The [[Chicago Manual of Style]] recommends that the titles of English-language artistic works (plays, novels, essays, paintings, etc.) capitalize the first word and the last word in the title.<ref name="writersblock">{{cite web|url=http://writersblock.ca/tips/monthtip/tipmar98.htm |title=Writer's Block - Writing Tips - Capitalization in Titles |publisher=Writersblock.ca |access-date=2012-10-28 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121009052611/http://writersblock.ca/tips/monthtip/tipmar98.htm |archive-date=October 9, 2012 }} Archived.</ref> Additionally, most other words within a title are capitalized as well; [[Article (grammar)|articles]] and [[coordinating conjunction]]s are not capitalized.<ref name="writersblock" /> Sources disagree on the details of capitalizing [[preposition]]s.<ref name="writersblock" /> For example, the [[Chicago Manual of Style]] recommends rendering all prepositions in lowercase,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/data/faq/topics/CapitalizationTitles.html?page=3 |title=Capitalization, Titles |publisher=Chicagomanualofstyle.org |access-date=2012-10-28}}</ref> whereas the [[APA style]] guide instructs: ''Capitalize major words in titles of books and articles within the body of the paper. Conjunctions, articles, and short prepositions are not considered major words; however, capitalize all words of four letters or more.''<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thoughtco.com/title-case-capitalization-1692469|title=Capitalization Conventions for Title Case|first1=Richard|last1=Nordquist|website=ThoughtCo}}</ref>

In other languages, such as the [[Romance languages]], only the first word and proper names are capitalized.
