<h4 class="subsection">7.2.2 <code>@sc</code>{<var>text</var>}: The Small Caps Font</h4>
<a name="index-Small-caps-font"></a>
<a name="index-sc-_0028small-caps-font_0029"></a>

<p>Use the &lsquo;<samp>@sc</samp>&rsquo; command to set text in <small>A SMALL CAPS FONT</small>
(where possible).  Write the text you want to be in small caps between
braces in lowercase, like this:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">Richard @sc{Stallman} commenc&eacute; GNU.
</pre></div>

<p>This produces:
</p>
<div class="display">
<pre class="display">Richard STALLMAN commenc&eacute; GNU.
</pre></div>

<p>As shown here, we recommend reserving <code>@sc</code> for special cases
where you want typographic small caps; family names are one such,
especially in languages other than English, though there are no
hard-and-fast rules about such things.
</p>
<a name="index-_003csmall_003e-tag"></a>
<p>TeX typesets any uppercase letters between the braces of an
<code>@sc</code> command in full-size capitals; only lowercase letters are
printed in the small caps font.  In the Info output, the argument to
<code>@sc</code> is printed in all uppercase.  In HTML, the argument is
uppercased and the output marked with the <code>&lt;small&gt;</code> tag to reduce
the font size, since HTML cannot easily represent true small caps.
</p>
<p>Overall, we recommend using standard upper- and lowercase letters
wherever possible.
</p>
