CSS text-transform

The text-transform property specifies the casing of the font.

Options include none, uppercase, lowercase, and capitalized.

Example

#

This text is transformed to uppercase.

This text displays in capital letters

<p style="text-transform: uppercase">
  This text displays in capital letters
</p>

Using text-transform

The text-transform property specifies the capitalization of text.

Text can be uppercase, lowercase, or capitalized.

Tip: If you know that your text is always lowercase, uppercase, or capitalized, then it is best to hardcode that inside the page, and not have the browser do extra work for each page that is loaded.

text-transform: none | capitalize | uppercase | 
                lowercase | initial | inherit;
