Hi

What is the correct spelling of FPC???

* FreePascal
* Free Pascal
* freepascal

The www.freepasal.org uses both spellings. In the web browser title bar it is Free Pascal, but in the text heading it is freepascal, etc... I am trying to get my documentation in order....

Regards,
Graeme.

There's no place like 127.0.0.1

"Free Pascal" is the correct spelling.

My take:

The documentation uses a macro (see fpcdocs/fpc.sty)

\newcommand{\fpc}{Free Pascal\xspace}

The contraction freepascal is only for places where spaces are not desirable (filenames, urls etc). I never saw much casing used in such usage, so I'd say from your list the second is prefered for most usage, and the third for urls/filenames by convention.
