Is it possible to force text into lower case small caps without making capital letters lower case?
None of the following makes all the letters lower case small caps:
\textsc{Can I make this line only small caps?}
\scshape{Can I make this line only small caps?}
To get all small caps one needs to format it manually to lower case:
\textsc{can i make this line only small caps?}
Update:
As @barbarabeeton has pointed out \sc
is deprecated so I have removed that example.
\lowercase{\scshape WhAtEvEr text}
, since otherwise uppercase letters will remain uppercase. but both\sc
(which is deprecated in latex) and\scshape
should be placed inside the group since they are global directives rather than commands taking an argument.\sc
– I just saw that it affects the entire group as well.
