A correspondent of mine brought this up because my blog entries (in Esperanto) use the old school method of capitalizing the first and major words of the title and keeping prepositions and such in lower case.
he books I have in Esperanto with chapter titles use all upper case for the titles.
I realize that in the age of the internet the style is currently either just capitalize the first word, or capitalize nothing at all, save proper nouns.
Thanks,
Dave

NJ Esperantist:Is there any sort of writing style guide for Esperanto similar in scope to The Elements of Style by Strunk & White?First, The Elements of Style has done more harm than good to the English language. You can read about it on Wikipedia or citations from there.

However, you may be interested to read Monato's style guide.
Take it with a grain of salt, you could hardly take the New York Times style guide and apply it to the whole English language, and Monato is far less influential a publication.
