SmallCaps(inputText[, largerClassName])
Last updated July 18, 2013

Version: 1 | Requires: CF9 | Library: StrLib
Description:
This UDF takes the first character of each word and wraps it in a class name so you can easily simulate the "font-variant:small-caps" functionality. I found this necessary to get this type of styling inside the CFDOCUMENT tag which does not support font-variant. Some simple CSS is needed with this as well.
Return Values:
A string wrapped with CSS to emulate font-variant:small-caps
Example:
<cfset TextToConvert = "Title of a Book">
<cfdocument format="PDF" filename="#expandPath('./smallCaps.pdf')#" overwrite="true">
<cfoutput>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
.SmallCaps{font-size:24pt;}
.SmallCaps .SCLarger{font-size:36pt;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="SmallCaps">#SmallCaps(TextToConvert)#</div>
<div style="font-variant:small-caps">#TextToConvert#</div>
</body>
</html>
</cfoutput>
</cfdocument>
Parameters:
| Name | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| inputText | String to format | Yes |
| largerClassName | CSS class to use for larger caps | No |
