$setUserVar[displayName;$toTitlecase[$message]]

Displaying Stored Data Nicely

$sendMessage[Welcome, $toTitlecase[$getUserVar[name]]!]

Normalizing Database Entries

$var[city;$toTitlecase[$getUserVar[city]]]

Transforms "new york" → "New York", "LOS ANGELES" → "Los Angeles".

Important Notes

• Word boundaries: Words are separated by whitespace. Punctuation attached to words may affect capitalization.
• All subsequent letters are lowered: "mCDONALD" → "Mcdonald". For proper name casing, additional logic may be needed.
• ASCII only: Non-ASCII character behavior depends on the BDFD runtime.
