Hyphens and capitals in place names

[stonegenie]

Checking the box for "Initial Caps" in the Events tab is all well and good for locations with two parts, where both parts are normally capitalised (e.g. Longwell Green).

But many place names in the UK have two or three parts, and often these have traditionally used either: (a) hyphens to join the parts together (e.g. Sunbury-on-Thames); or (b) some have not (e.g. Richmond upon Thames).

The use of hyphenation is widespread in Wales, e.g. Tyn-y-Coed, or Ty'n-y-groes (some with cap on the last word, some not)

Other than turning the "Initial Caps" on and off when trying to add place names with hyphens – is there a more 'intelligent' way to enter this data?

Thanks for any assistance or comments

"Initial Caps" will not be applied to the place name if the option-key is pressed when you exit the place field. Enter the place name just the way you want it to appear, then hold down the option-key when you exit the place field.

Thanks so neat – thanks!
