User:Zoeannl/Project guideline/Proofreader’s Guide/Small Capitals

Using the Small capitals template, proofread the characters in Small Caps (capital letters which are smaller than the standard capitals) as lower case letters; capitals remain as capitals. For example

Original Image:


 * B.C.
 * B.C.
 * B.C.
 * B.C.

Correctly Proofread Text:


 * B.C.
 * B.C.
 * B.C.
 * B.C.

It is considered good form to include a whole name etc. within the template rather than only the part with small caps, as in.
