<section class="notes">

### Notes

-   If the split separator is a [regular expression][mdn-regexp], ensure that the `split` option is either properly escaped or enclosed in quotes.

    ```bash
    # Not escaped...
    $ echo -n $'beep\nboop' | capitalize --split /\r?\n/

    # Escaped...
    $ echo -n $'beep\nboop' | capitalize --split /\\r?\\n/
    ```

-   The implementation ignores trailing delimiters.

</section>

<!-- /.notes -->

<section class="examples">

### Examples

```bash
$ capitalize beep
Beep
```

To use as a [standard stream][standard-streams],

```bash
$ echo -n 'beEp' | capitalize
BeEp
```

By default, when used as a [standard stream][standard-streams], the implementation assumes newline-delimited data. To specify an alternative delimiter, set the `split` option.

```bash
$ echo -n 'beep\tbOOP' | capitalize --split '\t'
Beep
BOOP
```
