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.
