Template talk:Scaps
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Usage
Creates a span tag and its closing which makes text appear in small capitals; for non-CSS browsers it appears in upper-and-lower case letters like normal. Takes one unnamed parameter, the text that you want to display.
{{scaps|North}}
produces North.
This works nicely to produce directions in road-related articles, such as exit tables. (The small-caps emulates the U.S. MUTCD rule that the first letter of a compass direction on a road sign should be taller than the rest of the word.)
