Unless otherwise marked, centerheads are set in capitals, and sideheads are set in lowercase and only the first word and proper names are capitalized. In centerheads making two lines, wordbreaks should be avoided. The first line should be centered and set as full as possible.
In heads set in caps, a small-cap c or ac, if available, is used in such names as McLean or MacLeod; otherwise a lowercase c or ac is used. In heads set in small caps, a thin space is used after the c or the ac.
In such names as LeRoy, DeHostis, LaFollette, etc. (one-word forms only), set in caps, the second letter of the particle is made a small cap, if available; otherwise lowercase is used. In heads set in small caps, a thin space is used. (See rule 3.15.)
