Worth knowing
- Why do spaces not affect the pattern? Only letters are counted, so the alternation continues smoothly from one word to the next.
- Can I start with a capital letter? The pattern always starts lowercase. You can change the first letter by hand if you prefer.
- Is alternating case accessible? Not very. It is harder to read, so avoid it for important information.
- Works on any text column, not only Text Input's: pick it under Text column. Tick Generate New Column to keep the original next to the result.
