Usage
[ਸੋਧੋ]This template simplifies formatting text in Small caps, where lowercase letters are replaced with smaller capital letters. {{sc}} may be used for shorthand; the broad usage of this template has made an abbreviated version convenient.
Example
[ਸੋਧੋ]{{small-caps|Small caps}}
{{sc|Small caps}}
Small caps
Misuse for capitalisation
[ਸੋਧੋ]The use of this template to simulate smaller capitalised text is semantically incorrect:
* {{small-caps|this is incorrect. grammatically, there should be capitals in this sentence.}}
* {{x-smaller|THIS IS CORRECT. IT IS CAPITALS, BUT IN A SMALLER FONT}}
* {{all small caps|This is also correct. It is the "small-caps" variant but the text is not all lowercase when copied.}}
- this is incorrect. grammatically, there should be capitals in this sentence.
- THIS IS CORRECT. IT IS CAPITALS, BUT IN A SMALLER FONT
- ਫਰਮਾ:All small caps
While it may look similar, the first one has problems:
- It copy-pastes as lowercase text, because the CSS only affects styling, not the content.
- Viewers that do not handle the CSS used for small-caps (font-variant) will display the text as all lowercase.
The template {{all small caps}} can be used to request the special small-caps glyphs (generally slightly proportionally wider than simply making the font smaller) for all letters, uppercase or lowercase, without having the text copy-paste as lowercase.
