Title Capitalization with Adjective Phrases
Title Capitalization with Adjective Phrases
(OP)
I'm writing a title that contains the phrase "drop-in" as in, "Drop-In Replacement". Do I write the "in" in lowercase (Drop-in) because "in" is a preposition, or capitalize it because I'm using it as a part of "Drop-In", which is not a prepositional phrase?
RE: Title Capitalization with Adjective Phrases
Do you have a style guide? If so, follow it. If not, how do likely suppliers write it?
I think you could use either, but when you pick one be consistent. Personally I'd go with Drop-In, but that's just me.

It's a Friday, and we had a two-beer (Two-Beer?) lunch, so anything I say may not be used against me, or as a very good guideline (guide-line?) Guide-Line...
Here's a guide for often-hyphenated words, and non-too-common uses and often-wrongly-used uss of hyphenization...

We are both Technical Writers.
And, the various style guides are all over the map.
So, it really does boil down to house and industry preferences.
You can then pick a style guide that agrees with you.
