60 | The following functions are available to operate on string and Unicode | |
61 | objects. They are not available as string methods. | |

68 | Split the argument into words using <tt class="function">split()</tt>, capitalize | |
69 | each word using <tt class="function">capitalize()</tt>, and join the capitalized | |
70 | words using <tt class="function">join()</tt>. Note that this replaces runs of | |
71 | whitespace characters by a single space, and removes leading and | |
72 | trailing whitespace. | |

82 | each character in <var>from</var> into the character at the same position | |

89 | the same length. For case conversions, always use | |
