ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Smallcaps
{{{1}}}
{{Smallcaps}} will display the lowercase part of your text as typographical small caps.
This template should be used sparingly, as markup should be kept simple. Ideally, this template should only be used by templates. In particular, it should not be used for any of the following:
- Name/surname disambiguation; using capitalization for this purpose is uncommonly-used in English-speaking territories.
- Markup up acronyms; standard capital letters should be used.
- All-caps trademarks; these should be presented in regular title case.
Usage[မႄးထတ်း]
Your source text is not altered in the output, only the way it is displayed on the screen: a copy-paste of the text will give the small caps sections in their original form; similarly, an older or non-CSS browser will only display the original text on screen. This can be seen as a problem, solved with {{Sc}}.
- Code
{{Smallcaps|Your Text in 4004 bc}}- Displayed
- Your Text in 4004 bc
- Pasted
- Your Text in 4004 bc
Notes[မႄးထတ်း]
- Diacritics (å, ç, é, ğ, ı, ñ, ø, ş, ü, etc.) are handled. However, because the job is performed by each reader's browser, inconsistencies in CSS implementations can lead to some browsers not converting certain rare diacritics.
- Use of this template does not generate any automatic categorization. As with most templates, if the argument contains an = sign, the sign should be replaced with {{=}}, or the whole argument be prefixed with 1=. And for wikilinks, you need to use piping. There is a parsing problem with MediaWiki which causes unexpected behavior when a template with one style is used within a template with another style.
- There is a problem with dotted and dotless I. {{Lang|tr|{{Smallcaps|ı i}}}} gives you ı i, although the language is set to Turkish.

Reasons to use small caps[မႄးထတ်း]
Small caps are useful for encyclopedical and typographical uses including:
- To lighten ALL-CAPS surnames mandated by citation styles such as Harvard
- Piccadilly has been compared to "a Parisian boulevard" (Dickens 1879).
- Dickens, C., Jr (1879). "Piccadilly" in Dickens's Dictionary of London. London: C. Dickens.[1]
Technical[မႄးထတ်း]
Technically, the template merely wraps the standard:
<span style="font-variant:small-caps;"> ... </span>
(The "font-variant:small-caps;text-transform:lowercase" has not been used because it does not work at least in Internet Explorer 5 and 6, which are still fairly common browsers.)

Templates that change the display (copy-paste will get the original text):
- {{Allcaps}} – upper-case display
- {{Nocaps}} – lower-case display
- {{Smallcaps all}} – hard-formatted small-caps display
Magic words that rewrite the output (copy-paste will get the text as displayed):
- {{lc:}} – lower case output of the full text
- {{uc:}} – upper case output of the full text
- {{lcfirst:}} – lower case output of the first character only
- {{ucfirst:}} – upper case output of the first character only
