Property Values
The following table describes the values of this property.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| none | This is default value. No capitalization. |
| capitalize | Transforms the first character of each word to uppercase. |
| uppercase | Transforms all characters to uppercase. |
| full-width | Is a keyword that forces the writing of a character — mainly ideograms and Latin scripts — inside a square, allowing them to be aligned in the usual East Asian scripts (like Chinese or Japanese). |
| full-size-kana | Generally used for <ruby> annotation text, the keyword converts all small Kana characters to the equivalent full-size Kana, to compensate for legibility issues at the small font sizes typically used in ruby. |
| lowercase | Transforms all characters to lowercase. |
| initial | Sets this property to its default value. |
| inherit | If specified, the associated element takes the computed value of its parent element animation-delay property. |
| revert | Reverts the cascaded value of the property from its current value to the value the property |
| revert-layer | Rollback styles to the ones specified in previous cascade layers. |
| unset | Resets a property to its inherited value if the property naturally inherits from its parent, and to its initial value if not. |
