Auto-style Post Titles

Post titles for blog articles, projects, and products can be styled automatically to add an extra layer of typography without changing the title text itself. The styling applies both in archive listings and on single pages, so the same title keeps the same emphasis wherever it appears.

You can enable or disable this feature by going to Appearance → Customize → Style Manager → Tweak Board and toggling Auto-style post titles.

Titles Styling Rules

The Auto-style post titles feature uses a series of rules based on your title’s punctuation marks and letter case. At the moment these include:

  • Uppercase words and words followed by an exclamation mark are made «bold»;
  • Everything in quotes or parentheses  are made «italic»;
  • Everything between : and ? or ! is made «italic»;
  • Everything before : is made «bold»;
  • In a title with only a ? in it, everything at the left of the question mark is «bold», and everything at the right «italic».
