youronlyone, 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.
- #PascalCase. First letter of every word should be capitalised.
- #camelCase. First letter of the first word should be in lowercase. Every other word after should be capitalised.
e.g. #thisIsAnExample
- #Kebab-case. Words are separated with a hyphen.
e.g. #this-Is-an-Example
- #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.
