Other systems might hyphenate, using ''ha-Shirim'' instead; this convention is often used for Arabic (e.g. ''[[Literature/TheQuran Al-Qur'an]]'' and not ''[=AlQur'an=]'').

* In programming, it is a useful style for defining multi-word variables, so you can give a succinct idea of what said variable is supposed to do, instead of having to write lengthy comments about them in the function in which they're being used, mainly because usually you can't have a space in a variable name. In other languages, such as [=LISP=], the preferred convention is caravan-case, as [=LISP=] does not use infix syntax (thus freeing the hyphen), and caravan-case is generally seen as easier to read.

to:

Capitalization in the middle of a word (or name) is an irregularity that entered into usage after fonts with distinct uppercase and lowercase lettering developed. Often the result of many words being smushed together, it is used in a variety of ways to distinguish the words used. We call this [=CamelCase=] because the resulting words [[SelfDemonstratingArticle manyWordsComeTogether with NoSpaces toForm aSingleWord. eachIndividualWord startsWith aCapitalisedLetter. theEndResult looksLike lookLike theHumps onTheBack of aCamel. theMainWay toMake]] [[Administrivia/WikiWord aWikiWord.]]
