Yes, I've just edited my other comment, I had a title in mind with that example, because that's when these styles come into question. If it was a sentence, just the first letter would be regular. Like I said, both styles are used.

What I showed was supposed to have been all small-caps with no proper uppercase letters that I edited. It was wrong because the CSS code converted the letters to uppercase when they should have been converted to lowercase. By not converting to lowercase, the small-caps did not work. So I have removed the incorrect image.

So a pointless argument. Do it either how the commissioning publisher insists or you own judgement for new works. However I doubt that either spelling check or TTS are affected.

How to lose a job:
Publisher: This is our style guide. JSW: That is incorrect, that is also incorrect, and that too. You're welcome. |

Your way goes against the publisher. My way goes with the publisher. The publisher is publishing with caps and small-caps, not just small-caps.

Apologies for completely derailing this thread
However I've learned about CSS @support so that's something. |

I'll agree that the author had intent that the dialog be rendered as "different", but exactly how that "different" got rendered was likely based on what could be done at publishing time without significantly increasing the cost of printing the book.

Also, it seems Pratchett was quite involved in the process and I think he was successful enough to get to have his way. The TP Papers mentions stuff like this about his manuscripts: Quote:
