Letter case-separated words: ; changed "Pascal case", to "PascalCase", to reflect context (i.e., camelCase -> twoWords; PascalCase -> TwoWords), the table entry (defines "PascalCase"), and the practical usage in languages that encourage the format (e.g., Pascal, Visual Basic , et cetera).

Another approach is to indicate word boundaries using medial capitalization, called "[[camelCase]]", "Pascal casePascalCase", and many other names, thus respectively rendering "<code>two words</code>" as "<code>twoWords</code>" or "<code>TwoWords</code>". This convention is commonly used in [[Pascal (programming language)|Pascal]], [[Java (programming language)|Java]], [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]], and [[Visual Basic]]. Treatment of initialisms in identifiers (e.g. the "[[XML]]" and "[[HTTP]]" in <code>[[XMLHttpRequest]]</code>) varies. Some dictate that they be lowercased (e.g. <code>XmlHttpRequest</code>) to ease typing, readability and ease of [[Text segmentation|segmentation]], whereas others leave them uppercased (e.g. <code>XMLHTTPRequest</code>) for accuracy.
