True Sentence Case
This is not to be confused with "Title Case". Sentence case is capitalizing only the first word of the sentence; other words of the sentence remain unchanged.
The various articles and answers on Stackoverflow do not address the issues explained below: The most relevant (although 6 years old) is Convert string to sentence case in javascript but does not work.
A paragraph (or article) may include several sentences separated by full-stops ".".
I am looking for a "SentenceCase" code that should at least handle the cases described below.
The intent is to ONLY capitalize the first word (if applicable) and not to try to modify or try to correct the rest of the sentence text.
The function should address the following standard cases:
// 1. Simple sentence (no full-stop):
// ----------------------------------
// Original: this is a sentence
// Becomes : This is a sentence
// 2. Two or more sentences:
// -------------------------
// Original: first sentence. second sentence . third sentence.
// Becomes : First sentence. Second sentence . Third sentence.
// 3. Sentences starting with a single char:
// -----------------------------------------
// Original: a world of fun. a world of fun.
// Becomes : A world of fun. A world of fun.
// 4. Sentences starting with a word that has an in-between cap:
// -------------------------------------------------------------
// Original: kHz is a unit of measure. kPascal too.
// Becomes : kHz is a unit of measure. kPascal too.
// Original: iPads are sold by Apple. iTones are too.
// Becomes : iPads are sold by Apple. iTones are too.
// 5. Sentences starting with a special chars/words:
// -------------------------------------------------
// Original: https//: is the web address. www.stack.com is another website.
// Becomes : https//: is the web address. www.stack.com is another website.

// Becomes : concrete5 is an open-source content management system.
// 6. Text inside quotes:
