" I wish all apps made all hashtags pascal case! "
Thanks for sharing this introspective, Robert.
Me, too. In fact, it makes long hashtags more easily readable for "sighted people" as well. ;) It is quite a bit more work, alas, in particular, as my apps try suggesting (and auto-replacing) previously used #Hashtags with all small letters, which I then have to...
What is the difference between PascalCase, camelCase, Kebab-case, and Snake_case?
It all started in programming all the way back in the 90s, but it is very useful in today's world of #hashtags, most specially in the #fediverse.
Let's go over each.
1. #PascalCase. First letter of every word should be capitalised.
2. #camelCase. First letter of the first word should be in lowercase. Every other word after should be capitalised.
e.g. #thisIsAnExample
3. #Kebab-case. Words are separated with a hyphen.
e.g. #this-Is-an-Example
4. #Snake_case. Words are separated with an underscore.
e.g. #This_is_An_example
---
Most #SNS software and apps will not convert Snake_case and Kebab-case hashtags into an active link, so these two are rarely used.
PascalCase is the preferred format as it makes it very easy to read hashtags with multiple words. A camelCase #hashtag is fine as well.
Well, that's as short as it can be.
I've seen both recommended on here -- which is best for #accessibility on Mastodon hashtags, #camelCase or #PascalCase ? Probably not #snake_case
Wondering if we can start a #snake_case vs #CamelCase hashtag war!
does #snake_case in hashtags work?
