Write the text you want to be in small caps between braces in lowercase, like this: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">Richard @sc{Stallman} a commencé le projet GNU. </pre></div> <p>This produces: </p> <div class="display"> <pre class="display">Richard STALLMAN a commencé le projet GNU. </pre></div> <p>As shown here, we recommend reserving <code>@sc</code> for special cases where you want typographic small caps; family names are one such, especially in languages other than English, though there are no hard-and-fast rules about such things. </p> <span id="index-_003csmall_003e-tag"></span> <p>TeX typesets any uppercase letters between the braces of an <code>@sc</code> command in full-size capitals; only lowercase letters are printed in the small caps font. In the Info output, the argument to <code>@sc</code> is printed in all uppercase. In HTML, the argument is uppercased and the output marked with the <code><small></code> tag to reduce the font size, since HTML cannot easily represent true small caps. </p> <p>Overall, we recommend using standard upper- and lowercase letters wherever possible. </p> </div> </body> </html>
