Subheadings and chapter summaries
Mixed Small-caps in sub-headings/summaries are common. If you receive this kind of text as all upper-case, change it to mixed case as well as marking it. TIP: Using the "Abc" Case-change button avoids the risk of making a typo, but that button does not always handle capitalization correctly: sometimes, it capitalizes a letter that should be in lower-case. So, after using the "Abc" button, it's absolutely necessary to check the result to make sure each of the letters is in the same Case as what appears in the Image.
Abbreviations and Numerals
"P.M." (and "A.M.", "B.C.", and "A.D.") often are printed in small caps, as shown above. They are abbreviations, and the associated times/dates should not be included in the small-caps markups. They are like the Formatting Guidelines example of British currency abbreviations: "It cost 9<i>l.</i> 4<i>s.</i> 1<i>d.</i>", not like the "<i>Enacted 4 July, 1776</i>" example.
First words
We normally don't Small-cap the first words in a chapter. If they are in all-caps, we change them to normal upper/lower-case, unless the project has other instructions.
Hanging indents
The heading is printed as a hanging indent (2nd and 3rd lines indented), so we enclose it in Block Quotes to call it to the attention of the Post Processor.
