Re: [PHP-DOC] Function References not showing up in docs for mixed case function names From: Daniel Beckham (danbeck <email protected>)

As far as English grammar goes, they should be capitalized if they are the
first word in a sentence. If you are using the function name as the first
word though, you probably could come up with a better way to write it.

bad: Foo() does bar;
good: The function foo() does bar.
