I understand that you are supposed to capitalize the first letter, as well as “main” words. What I don’t quite get is what am I supposed to not capitalize. Especially, verbs and prepositions.
To? In? Through? Except? Are? Is? Into?
In: 15
There are multiple style guides. Your article should conform to the one selected by your publication.
In the most common case all words in a title must be capitalized, except:
a) articles (a an the),
b) conjuctions (and or but nor),
c) short prepositions that are not part of a phrasal verb with a length limit of 3 or 4 letters. A phrasal verb is a widely understood combination of a preposition with a verb that modifies its meaning (Send In the Clowns, Wake Up and Smell the Ashes).
The last word is always capitalized regardless of its category.
Into, From, Over are 4 letters long. Some style guides require these to be capitalized, others do not.
Less commonly: all long prepositions are lowercased, long headlines might use sentence case.
