Certain relative dates unexpectedly capitalize input text in link alias #11

Description

@TrulyFlawed

Describe the bug

Typing @today Enter will automatically be expanded to the current date. Press Shift at the same time to keep the input text as an alias (e.g. @today[[202112-27|today]]).
— README

When using relative dates like @today, @yesterday, and @tomorrow, the input is being automatically capitalized inside of the outputted link alias where this behavior does not appear to be present elsewhere and is not shown in the README.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Type @today, @yesterday, or @tomorrow (lowercase)
  2. Press Shift + Enter
  3. Get output [[<date>|Today]] instead of [[<date>|today]]

Expected behavior

I expected that the plugin would treat writing lowercase @today would have the link's display text also be lowercase. This was especially frustrating because the example in the README implies that getting a lowercase output from these inputs is possible.

Actual behavior

Instead, the link's display text is capitalized. So then I have to go back and correct it manually.

Environment

  • Plugin version: 0.6.4
  • Obsidian version: 1.13.4 (Installer 1.10.3)
  • OS: Linux (Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS)
