Template:All small caps/doc

Publications may have text that is to be interpreted as capitals, but is presented as small caps for readability, stylistic, or traditional reasons. Converting the source to lower-case and applying small-caps may be undesirable since readers copying the rendered text will get the lower-case version. Additionally, software that doesn't support small-caps (e.g. some e-readers) will show all-lower-case text.

This template allows you to represent the appearance of the original and maintain the intended meaning.

A short version asc is provided, analogous to sc.

Usage
This template takes a single un-named parameter: the text to be styled.

Examples
In some versions of the Christian Holy Bible, the Tetragrammaton is represented as. This should be copyable and machine-processable as "Lord" or "LORD", but not "lord".

Roman numerals like may be printed at a small size, but be clearly distinct from uses of "lxvi" forms in the same work.

In modern use, a.m./p.m.,, and A.M./P.M are all acceptable. , etc. are not presented as "a.d.", "b.c.", or "a.h.".

Implementation details
This template uses the CSS property. The expected rendering behaviour is:
 * If supported by both web browser and font, true small-caps glyphs will be used.
 * If supported by the browser but not the font, normal upper-case glyphs will be used, scaled down to the x-height.
 * If the web browser doesn't recognise the property, all-caps and mixed case will remain unaltered.
