The text-transform CSS property specifies how to capitalize an element's text. It can be used to make text appear in all-uppercase or all-lowercase, or with each word capitalized.
capitalize − The first letter of each word in the element's text should be capitalized. uppercase − All of the characters in the element's text should be uppercase (capital letters). lowercase − All of the characters in the element's text should be lowercase.
You can achieve CSS all caps by using the keyword “capitalize.” In addition, text-transform capitalize converts all the first letters in all words to uppercase. Other values you can use with text-transform include “none,” “lowercase,” “full-width,” and “full-size-kana.”
The issue I came across has to do with the capitalization of Greek characters by the text-transform: uppercase property.
In Greek, vowels can have acute accents, both small and caps, for instance one in Greek is ένα. In the beginning of a sentence would be Ένα. But when a word or a phrase is written in all caps then Greek grammar says that it should have no accented letters.
As it is now, CSS's text-transform: uppercase capitalizes Greek letters preserving accents which is grammatically wrong (so ένα becomes ΈΝΑ, while it should be ΕΝΑ).
How do I make text-transform: uppercase work properly for Greek?
