Title Transform
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Write a function that transforms a string into [title case](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_case#Headings_and_publication_titles).
|
|
|
|
This mostly means capitalizing only every first letter of every word in the string.
|
|
|
|
However, there are some non-obvious exceptions to title case which can't easily be hard-coded. Your function must accept, as a second argument, a set or list of words that should not be capitalized.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, the first word of every title should always have a capital leter. For example:
|
|
```python
|
|
exceptions = ['jumps', 'the', 'over']
|
|
titlecase('the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog', exceptions)
|
|
```
|
|
This should return:
|
|
|
|
The Quick Brown Fox jumps over the Lazy Dog
|
|
|
|
An example from the Wikipedia page:
|
|
```python
|
|
exceptions = ['are', 'is', 'in', 'your', 'my']
|
|
titlecase('THE vitamins ARE IN my fresh CALIFORNIA raisins', exceptions)
|
|
```
|
|
Returns:
|
|
|
|
The Vitamins are in my Fresh California Raisins
