Formatting: Small Caps

Unread post by BjoernThiele »

Hi everyone,
I'd like to create a style that highlights certain terms in small caps ("Kapitälchen"). All Caps won't work for those terms because there are internal caps that would no longer be prominent. Any ideas how to make that work?
thanks, Björn

Hi Björn,

There isn't currently a Small Caps formatting option and it would be a much larger undertaking that you might imagine. The only solution would be to create a text style that uses a combination of All Caps and a slightly smaller font. You would then apply that to the text you want to have in Small Caps. There is a caveat to this: If you apply different styles within the same word you will be unable to find that word with search, because it will then be identified as multiple text elements by the search routines. :?
