Hello,
how can I autocapitalize the first word in a sentence (that is, after
a period)?
I've searched the Emacs Wiki, but:
- auto-cap.el doesn't work;
- auto-capitalize.el raises an error after the first word, then it
doesn't work anymore.
Thanks

I mean: while entering text.

Maybe you could mention this on EmacsWiki and contact the authors of
these modes? Then others could benefit from what you have seen and the
modes could be removed or corrected.

Yes, I will contact the authors.
It's just that it looked like such a basic facility that I thought it
was likely already implemented multiple times, maybe even as an option
in Emacs text modes.

I agree. And I think it is should be a basic facility on EmacsWiki to
be able to mark libraries as working/non-working, see

without using a special package, you can do it by simply use query-
replace-regexp, with pattern like this: “\. +.”, and in the
replacement string give this: “\,(upcase \1)”.
