# Text Transformation

Syntax: | text-transform: <value>
Possible Values: | none | capitalize | uppercase | lowercase
Initial Value: | none
Applies to: | All elements
Inherited: | Yes

The text-transform property allows text to be transformed by one of four properties:

- capitalize (capitalizes first character of each word)
- uppercase (capitalizes all characters of each word)
- lowercase (uses small letters for all characters of each word)
- none (the initial value)

Examples:

    H1 { text-transform: uppercase }
    H2 { text-transform: capitalize }

The text-transform property should only be used to express a stylistic desire. It would be inappropriate, for example, to use text-transform to capitalize a list of countries or names.
