Capitalization for decorative purposes is done using styles

It is perfectly possible to write lowercase web text and capitalize it with CSS styles. In this way, readers remain free to do what they want. Also know that uppercase text is read less quickly.

Objectives

  • Allow copying and pasting content regardless of formatting entirely.
  • Facilitate the adaptation of formatting for users with difficulty reading texts in upper case.

Implementation

  • Enter the HTML content respecting typographical use for uppercase letters (beginning of sentence, proper names, etc. ).
  • Use the CSS text-transform property with uppercase value to manage capitalization.

Control

  • Disable support for site styles in browser;
  • Identify texts that appear in upper case when styles are disabled;
  • Ensure that the use of capital letters complies with the framework of the typographical conventions of the language used. For example : acronyms or author names in a bibliography can be capitalized.

Validation

  • Needs to be human verified.
