With CSS&#8217;s text-transform, you don&#8217;t have to. Text-transform is a useful little CSS property that can manipulate the capitalization and cases of any text in HTML tags. Here are the different values it takes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>lowercase<\/strong>: this transforms all the text into lowercase, meaning there&#8217;s no capital letters at all<\/li>\n<li><strong>capitalize<\/strong>: this capitalizes only the first letter of each word \u00a0(it&#8217;s useful to apply to tags that include peoples&#8217; names, for example)<\/li>\n<li><strong>uppercase<\/strong>: this will change the case of every single letter to uppercase<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To use text-transform, your CSS should look something like this:<\/p>\n<div id=\"ig-sh-1\" class=\"syntax_hilite\">\r\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"toolbar\">\r\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"view-different-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" class=\"view-different\">&lt; View <span>plain text<\/span> &gt;<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"language-name\">css<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t<br clear=\"both\">\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\r\n\t<div class=\"code\">\r\n\t\t<ol class=\"css\" style=\"font-family:monospace\"><li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\">p.lowercase<span style=\"color: #00AA00\">&#123;<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-weight: bold\">text-transform<\/span><span style=\"color: #00AA00\">:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #993333\">lowercase<\/span><span style=\"color: #00AA00\">;<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\"><span style=\"color: #00AA00\">&#125;<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\">&nbsp;<\/div><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\">p.capitalize<span style=\"color: #00AA00\">&#123;<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-weight: bold\">text-transform<\/span><span style=\"color: #00AA00\">:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #993333\">capitalize<\/span><span style=\"color: #00AA00\">;<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\"><span style=\"color: #00AA00\">&#125;<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\">&nbsp;<\/div><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\">p.uppercase<span style=\"color: #00AA00\">&#123;<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-weight: bold\">text-transform<\/span><span style=\"color: #00AA00\">:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #993333\">uppercase<\/span><span style=\"color: #00AA00\">;<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\"><span style=\"color: #00AA00\">&#125;<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ol>\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<p>Below you&#8217;ll find an example of some p tags before and after the text-transform property has been applied to them.
