Capitalization for decorative purposes is done using styles

It is perfectly possible to write web text in lowercase and display it in uppercase with CSS styles. This way, the user remains free to do what they want with it. Also note that text in capitals is read less quickly.

Objectives

• Allow copying and pasting of content independently of all-caps formatting.
• Facilitate the adaptation of formatting for users who have difficulty reading all-caps text.

Implementation

• Enter HTML content while respecting the typographical use of capitals (start of sentence, proper nouns, etc.).
• Use the CSS text-transform property with the uppercase value to manage decorative capitalization.

Control

• Disable support for site styles in the browser ;
• Identify text that appears in capitals when styles are disabled ;
• Check that the use of capital letters respects the typographical conventions of the language used. For example: acronyms or author names in a bibliography can be in capital letters.

Validation

• Needs to be human verified.
