smallcapsElement

Element functions can be customized with set and show rules.

Displays text in small capitals.

Example

Hello \
#smallcaps[Hello]

Smallcaps fonts

By default, this uses the smcp and c2sc OpenType features on the font. Not all fonts support these features. Sometimes, smallcaps are part of a dedicated font. This is, for example, the case for the Latin Modern family of fonts. In those cases, you can use a show-set rule to customize the appearance of the text in smallcaps:

#show smallcaps: set text(font: "Latin Modern Roman Caps")

In the future, this function will support synthesizing smallcaps from normal letters, but this is not yet implemented.

Smallcaps headings

You can use a show rule to apply smallcaps formatting to all your headings. In the example below, we also center-align our headings and disable the standard bold font.

#set par(justify: true)
#set heading(numbering: "I.")

#show heading: smallcaps
#show heading: set align(center)
#show heading: set text(
  weight: "regular"
)

= Introduction
#lorem(40)
