The text-transform property allows text to be transformed by one of four properties:

· Capitalize (capitalizes first character of each word)

· UPPERCASE (capitalizes all characters of each word)

· lowercase (uses small letters for all characters of each word)

· none (the initial value)

Examples:

H1 { text-transform: uppercase }

H2 { text-transform: capitalize }

The text-transform property should only be used to express a stylistic desire. It would be inappropriate, for example, to use text-transform to capitalize a list of countries or names.
