{{Smallcaps}} will display the lowercase part of your text as a soft format of typographical .  This template should be avoided or used sparingly, as the Manual of Style advises that small caps should be avoided and reduced to one of the other title cases or normal case and markup should be kept simple.  Usage 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.   Code      {{Smallcaps|Your Text in 4004 bc}}  Displayed   Pasted    Your Text in 4004 BC  This template is therefore intended for the use of caps as a typographic style, such as rendering family names in bibliographies in small caps to distinguish them from given names. It should not be used for acronyms or abbreviations which are supposed to be capitalized regardless of style. For such cases, use .  Notes  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 , although the language is set to Turkish.  Do not use this inside citation templates citation templates, or this template's markup will be included in the COinS metadata. This means that reference management software such as Zotero will store the markup. For example, if  is used to format the surname of Bloggs, Joe in , then Zotero will store the name as <span style="font-variant:small-caps;">Bloggs</span>, Joe. This is correct and incorrect COinS metadata.

Reasons to use small caps 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" ( 1879).  , C., Jr (1879).

To disambiguate Western names and surnames at a glance  Many Hispanic names are tricky to decompose:  Jorge Luis , but Adolfo  (both filed under "B")  José , Marqués de los Trujillos  And many Hispanic names are better known by their second surname:  Pablo , Federico , Emir , José Luis   Many names (Martín, Miguel, Ramón, Tomás, etc.) can be either forename or surname:  Juan Martín  vs. Rafael  (two ball players)  Hungarian names natively use the surname-first order:   Sándor is usually westernized Sándor   To disambiguate Eastern surnames and given names at a glance  Most Chinese names and Korean names retain their surname-first order:   Zedong fought  Kai-shek  The movie Oldboy by  Chan-wook starring  Min-sik was not seen by  Il-sung Especially in Hong Kong and Macao, a Western given name may be added as well: Leslie  Kwok-Wing  Most Japanese names are reversed in the West, but not all:  (Akira  or Motojirō  are usually westernized)  But  Bashō,  no Komachi,  no Chiyo (haiku poets known under their given name)  But  Ranpo (kept due to wordplay "EdgarA–llanPoe) vs. Ranpo  (some modern uses)  Burmese names ignore the concept of forename/surname, but are adapted in the West:  Daw  Suu Kyi, daughter of General  ("Daw" is honorific, her name take part of his name)  And some Burmese names are so short they need to retain an honorific prefix (U for Mister, Daw for Madam, Thakin for Master) which is confusable with a forename or a surname:  U  ("Mister "), a.k.a. Thakin  ("Master ")  Technical 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.)
