Upcaser is an IntelliJ Platform plugin that automatically capitalises the first letter of sentences in any text file.

When you type a lowercase letter after sentence-ending punctuation (period, exclamation mark, or question mark) followed by whitespace, the plugin automatically converts it to uppercase.

Features:

• Automatic capitalisation after periods (.), exclamation marks (!), question marks (?), and ellipsis (...)
• Works with any text file format, not limited to Markdown
• Handles multiple spaces between punctuation and the next word
• Capitalises the first letter at the beginning of the file
• Status bar widget showing current activation status
• Enhanced settings management with configurable shortcuts
• Toggle functionality with visual feedback
• Does not interfere with already capitalised letters or non-letter characters

This specific section is a source for the plugin.xml file which will be extracted by the Gradle during the build process.

To keep everything working, do not remove <!-- ... --> sections.
