Case Sensitivity
Case Sensitivity is a type of Conditions.
By default all case variations are annotated. To limit annotations to only certain cases, you can include a conditional case statement.
Syntax
Set case:
Clear case:
#clear cond: case
-
If not defined, all case variations are annotated.
<condition>
- lower - matches only the lower case form of the entry text (for example, "Big" will match "big" only)
- upper - matches only the upper case form of the entry text (for example, "Big" will match "BIG" only)
- exact - matches only the exact case of the entry text (for example, "BiG" will match "BiG" only)
- title - conditions depend on whether the entry text is a single word or a phrase
- single word - matches only the capitalized form of the entry text (for example, "big" will match "Big" only)
- phrases - match entire phrase if at least one of the words is capitalized (for example, "big blue bird" will match "Big blue bird", "big Blue bird","big blue Bird" and "Big blue Bird")
Dictionary Entry Case
For lower and upper, the typography in the entry text has no significance.
However, the entry text is significant for the case conditions exact and title.
Lower Case
Lower matches only the lower case form of the entry text.
The entry text can be in any case.

Title Case
Title case matches when at least one of the words is capitalised.
-
Words or phrases all in lower case or all in upper case will not be matched.
The case of entry text will impact the words matched to the term. When a letter is capitalised in the dictionary entry, it will only match to words with that letter also capitalised.
-
If a word has unique capitalisation, such as camel case or a surname such as McKenna, you need to include the correct capitalisation in the dictionary entry to get accurate matches.
