Description

The beginning of a sentence is considered to be the first letter of each attribute. The first letter after a period, question mark, or exclamation point is also considered the beginning of a sentence, and is therefore capitalized. If the first word of a sentence is already capitalized, it remains capitalized.

Sentences are capitalized until an .xcap sentences command is encountered.
