== Small caps in chapter headings ==
== Headings ==


This example demonstrates three different types of small caps commonly encountered at the beginning of a chapter.
We mark Mixed-small-caps, as seen in the main heading above.


We always mark '''mixed-small-caps,''' where both large and small capitals appear on the same line.
We do NOT mark all-upper-case headings or sub-headings, even when the letters look
like all-lower-case small-caps.  Headings are wrappable unless you use no-wrap or 
add blank lines. Here, the chapter ID, name, and sub-heading are separated by blank
lines, but since the sub-heading clearly is wrappable, it wasn't placed in no-wrap.


We do not mark '''all uppercase''' text in headings, where all the characters are the same height, even when the letters look like all-lowercase small caps.
== First words ==


When the '''first words in a chapter''' appear in small caps, we change them to normal mixed-case and do not mark them.
When the first words in a chapter or section are in small caps, we just change
them to normal mixed-case and do not mark them.

Headings

We mark Mixed-small-caps, as seen in the main heading above.

We do NOT mark all-upper-case headings or sub-headings, even when the letters look like all-lower-case small-caps. Headings are wrappable unless you use no-wrap or add blank lines. Here, the chapter ID, name, and sub-heading are separated by blank lines, but since the sub-heading clearly is wrappable, it wasn't placed in no-wrap.

First words

When the first words in a chapter or section are in small caps, we just change them to normal mixed-case and do not mark them.

Headings are wrappable

Headings are wrappable unless you use no-wrap or add blank lines. Here, the chapter ID, chapter title, and sub-heading are all separated by blank lines, but since the sub-heading is clearly wrappable, it wasn't placed in no-wraps.
