There are two properties that allow developers to set the capitalization of text.
The font-variant:
property allows developers to specify whether text should appear in all caps, with ‘non-capitalized’ letters being displayed as small caps.
In a small-caps font, all lowercase letters are converted to uppercase letters. However, the converted uppercase letters appears in a smaller font size than the original uppercase letters in the text.
An example of the font-variant property. Notice how the first letters of each sentence are still full size. But, the rest of the characters are "small-caps".
The second property that allows for the control of capitalization is text-transform:
.
Text transform takes one of four keyword values;
none
; Do nothing.uppercase
; Make all characters uppercase.lowercase
; Make all characters lowercase.capitalize
; Capitalize the first letter of each word. (Sometimes also known as “Title Case”)Read page 281 of Chapter 12 in Duckett.
