Capitalization With Hyphen in Length-Limited Title
Imagine a scenario where you had to write the following title:
A Scientific Breakthrough
However, you were limited in length and had to split it. Do you capitalize “through” even though the original word is not hyphenated? AP and MLA both seem to be missing specific instructions for this. Which of the following is preferable?
A Scientific Break-
through
Or
A Scientific Break-
Through
