User:Zoeannl/Project guideline/Proofreader’s Guide/Small Capitals
Using the Small capitals template {{sc|Lorem}}, proofread the characters in Small Caps (capital letters which are smaller than the standard capitals) as lower case letters; capitals remain as capitals. For example
Original Image:
- Popular Science Monthly
- Creighton, J. E.
- a.m.
- B.C.
Correctly Proofread Text:
- {{sc|Popular Science Monthly}}
- {{sc|Creighton, J. E.}}
- {{sc|a.m.}}
- {{smaller|B.C.}}
It is considered good form to include a whole name etc. within the template rather than only the part with small caps, as in {{sc|Creighton, J. E.}}.
Commonly used in Headings, signatures and the first word of a chapter or verse.
