AngularJs API references

Question

When i look up the API references of AngularJS, the directive uses capital Letter in the API documentation and without hyphen

for example ngApp is not like ng-app

When we code it we code it like this

<html ng-app>

<html>

Why it is done like this ? it it purposefully

Angular normalizes an element's tag and attribute name to determine which elements match which directives. We typically refer to directives by their case-sensitive camelCase normalized name (e.g. ngModel). However, since HTML is case-insensitive, we refer to directives in the DOM by lower-case forms, typically using dash-delimited attributes on DOM elements (e.g. ng-model).
