Usage

labelify(
  x,

)

Arguments

x

Character: Input

underscoresToSpaces

Logical: If TRUE, convert underscores to spaces.

dotsToSpaces

Logical: If TRUE, convert dots to spaces.

toLower

Logical: If TRUE, convert to lowercase (precedes toTitleCase). Default = FALSE (Good for getting all-caps words converted to title case, bad for abbreviations you want to keep all-caps)

toTitleCase

Logical: If TRUE, convert to Title Case. Default = TRUE (This does not change all-caps words, set toLower to TRUE if desired)

capitalize_strings

Character, vector: Always capitalize these strings, if present. Default = "id"

stringsToSpaces

Character, vector: Replace these strings with spaces. Escape as needed for gsub. Default = "\\$", which formats common input of the type data.frame$variable
