Textile adds <span class="caps">...</span> tags around capital letters. How do I stop this?
ANSWER:
Textile wraps strings of 3 or more capital letters in a special span class, like this:
<span class="caps">IBM</span>
This is to allow acronyms, initialisms and the like to be uniquely styled. Many typographic guides recommend using additional letter spacing in strings of capitals. Textile, being a typographically rich markup syntax, is intended to make such things possible.
Textpattern includes a CSS rule for additional caps letter spacing in its default stylesheet, something like this:
.caps
{
letter-spacing: 0.1em;
}
If you don’t want special letter spacing for captials, simply remove or comment out that rule from your stylesheet. Once it’s gone, the span tags will have no effect.
