Re: [xsl] RE: Small Caps Solution (a bit long)

hi,
if i understand the problem right, there is a much simpler and shorter
solution without even bothering XSL just with plain CSS which you are using
anyway:

<h1 style="font-variant: small-caps;">A String to Render in Small Caps</h1>

(better to put it in a CSS-class of course...)
This might not be working in every browser, but at least covers a reasonble
amount of them (Moz, IE, Opera, Safari etc).

is that what you were looking for?

cheers

Hi, chris,

The trouble is that the font has to have an actual small-caps variant built
into it for that technique to work. As it happens, very few fonts do have a
small-caps variant, which leaves the decision of how to render the string to
the browser. I have read that, with most fonts, most browsers either ignore
the setting or render the string as all caps. I wanted neither of those
results.

So, no, that's not what I sought, but thank you for suggesting it.
