This text changes most letters, both upper and lower case, to small capitals, though half of the Greek alphabet is instead converted to lower case (namely the letters Α Β Γ Δ Θ Λ Μ Ρ Σ Φ Χ Ω and their accented forms apart from Ώ). With those exceptions, the text is hard-coded as upper case.
This template substitutes letters with their capital variants, then displays them as small caps, about the same height as lower-case letters. The upper-case conversion happens regardless of user preferences, and the content will copy-paste as upper case. For this reason, it is usually not suitable for article text, and is intended for specialized purposes. It is primarily for use in other templates, to correct mixed- or lower-case input.
Other templates have been developed to handle content that should remain lower or mixed-case, as detailed in § Deprecated uses, below.
This template should not be used for emphasis in articles. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Capital letters (shortcut: MOS:CAPS), especially the section § All caps and small caps (direct shortcut to the section: MOS:SMALLCAPS).
