@jele ☝️🤓 du verwendest #PascalCase oder #UpperCamelCase, #camelCase könnte auch so sein 😉

#DuckUndWeg

Wenn #FediVerse Apps und #Mastodon bei der Vervollständigung/ Vorschlag von #Hashtags #CamelCase und #UpperCamelCase respektieren würden, wär' das gut in Sachen #Accessibility.

#digitaleTeilhabe #ScreenReader #leichterErfassbarAuchFürSehende #FediHelp

Übrigens...

#HashTags kann man gerne in #UpperCamelCase oder #CamelCase schreiben!

Was?

HashTags sollte man mit Großbuchstaben beginnen, wenn es sich um ein Substantiv handelt. Zusammengesetzte Wörter mit Großbuchstaben beginnen bzw. verbinden.

Warum?

#Blinde Menschen nutzen #Screenreader. Sie können solche Tags oft natürlicher betonen und lesen verständlicher vor.

Menschen mit und ohne visuelle Einschränkungen können solche Tags schneller und sicherer erfassen, weil die Wörter optisch besser hervorgehoben werden.

Man nennt das CamelCase weil es an die Höcker eines Kamels erinnert 🐫

@BlindQuilter
Very welcome.

I do it all the time, but make one slightly amendment to #UpperCamelCase (#PascalCase:)
When a #Hashtag includes an abbreviations, such as "US," I continue with a small letter e.g. in #USpol as #USPol makes you wonder if the tag isn't about USPs (Unique Selling Propositions.)--
Does this work for you, too?

@Pierrette

#UpperCamelCase (#PascalCase) or #lowerCamelCase? 😉

#Hashtags #CamelCase oder #UpperCamelCase anzugeben ist ne gute Sache:

Substantive vorn mit Großbuchstabe beginnen und jedes neue Wort, egal ob Artikel, Verb oder Eigenschaftswort, vorn groß schreiben.

Das hilft #Screenreadern die Wörter separieren und besser oder richtig betonen zu können.

Und normal Sehenden hilft das, besonders bei langen Hashtags, sie vernünftig erfassen zu können...

@AlwaysAutumn I think hashtags are case-insensitive, so tapping on the icky lowercase also shows you posts that have the properly capitalized one.
#UpperCamelCase #ThisIsTheWay

@jond Any specific reason for #UpperCamelCase rather than #lowerCamelCase ? Do screen readers trip up on the second one?

It's just that if single-word hashtags are done in all lower case then lower camel case feels more consistent.

@jond #PascalCase and #UpperCamelCase to the rescue!

This isn't a complaint because it's actually a good thing that accessibility is valued, emphasized and re-emphasized around here, but I think I've seen a reminder to use #UpperCamelCase hashtags about 30 times now. I do realize I'm making it 31 with this post.

I just wish I had the secret of WHAT to hashtag because I often remember them am like, nah nothing makes sense here.

@jasonpettus I have been musing on this. No. Having a strong preference between upper camel case or lower camel case does not make you "too much of a nerd."

It makes you the EXACTLY RIGHT amount of nerd.

That said, I myself incline toward upper camel case, perhaps because I taught Pascal for many years.

@Dianora @northcountryjoe

In hashtags, please capitalise the initial letters of words (sometimes called UpperCamelCase) so that screen readers can interpret hashtags correctly, e.g.

Screen readers can interpret…

#UpperCamelCase

But cannot interpret…

#uppercamelcase

Thank you 🙏

Please remember to #CapitalizeYourHashtags by using #camelCase or #UpperCamelCase, so that screen readers can separate them into words. You can find this and more tips here: https://accessible360.com/accessible360-blog/2021-09-08-making-social-media-content-accessible/ #accessibility

The #etiquette of #hashtags @eishiya brought up a good question about it. Poll: Which one is your #CamelCase ? #UpperCamelCase ( aka #PascalCase , #BumpyCase ) OR #lowerCamelCase ( aka #camelBack , #dromedaryCase )? Whoa, there are more #synonyms than I thought! Check them out at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_case #hashtagsrus #FediTips

@azzageddi @Curator yep! its a term often used in programming, may also be called #PascalCase when referring to
#UpperCamelCase vs #lowerCamelCase I suspect both work with readers.

@lydiaconwell when should you use #UpperCamelCase or #camelCase?
it seems like hashtags are case insensitive and i assume either one works just as well for screen readers but style is substance after all
