Capitalization in the UI
Sentence-style capitalization in Splunk UIs involves capitalizing the first word and proper nouns, using lowercase for features, and avoiding all caps for emphasis.
Use sentence-style capitalization for all text in Splunk product UIs, including headings. Sentence-style capitalization follows these guidelines:
- Capitalize the first word and proper nouns, such as product names.
- If a heading has a colon, capitalize the word that immediately follows the colon.
- Use lowercase letters for names of features or components.
- Don't use all capital letters to emphasize words.
