<sc> Small Caps

Used to mark text that should appear in a font that creates smaller capital letters.

Usage/Remarks

The @toggle attribute can control the behavior of the <sc> element. For example, setting the @toggle attribute to “no” would mean that material marked as being in small caps will always be in small caps, even if the context around it is styled in small caps. In contrast, if the @toggle attribute is set to “yes” on an <sc> element, then if the formatting context imposes small caps (whether due to another <sc> element, a stylesheet, some CSS, or other means), then the small caps would be turned off within that context, making the emphasized text emphasized by contrast (typographically distinct from its surroundings) but not in a small caps font.
