When using title case, how should hyphenated words be capitalized? [closed]

Here's one title that includes a hyphenated words. Also this includes a word that is sometimes capitalized in title case.

Aliens are coming in the not-too-distant future!

Or an article called:

AIP-040 Non-Fungible Token Standard

Is it the responsibility of the style guide to fully specific how title case works? If so, this question is for naught.

But if title case actually has some universal meaning then how do we apply that meaning to hyphenated words?


Solution 1:

The Chicago Manual of Style's guidelines for hyphenated words in titles:

Capitalize the first element of the hyphenated word.

Capitalize subsequent elements unless they are articles, prepositions, or
coordinating conjunctions (and, but, for, or, nor): High-Quality Web Services First-Rate U.S. Lawyers Bed-and-Breakfast Options in Savannah

Capitalize the second element in a hyphenated spelled-out

Solution 2:

In a title, capitalize both parts of a temporary compound, says Words Into Type, a temporary compound being words that are not normally joined by a hyphen. An example it gives: "Well-Known Authors." The words well and known are joined by a hyphen only when they form a compound modifier, so they are a temporary compound. A permanent compound would be a word that is always hyphenated. Words Into Type gives the example son-in-law and says that in a title, only the first part of the word (son) would be capitalized.
