.HL 1 Case information .INDEX Case information .note The following section explains how to change the case of the input text. If you have a terminal with a shift key you do not need to read this section. .end note Specification of case for files prepared on the terminal is done with two characters, circumflex (_^), and back-slash (_\). The appearance of a circumflex causes the letter immediately following to be transmitted in upper case. The appearance of a back-slash causes the letter immediately following to be converted to lower case. Any letter not preceeded by one of these characters is transmitted in the current mode. The mode is initially upper case, and is changed by the occurrance of two successive case control characters. Two circumflexes (_^_^) cause the mode to be set to upper case, and two back-slashes (_\_\) cause the mode to be set to lower case. .p When the text is in upper case mode (_^_^) the text is printed exactly as you typed it in. This means that no case conversion occurrs. If in lower case mode (_\_\) all text is converted to lower case except where explicitly specified as upper case by a single upper shift character (_^). .p The following shows the uses of the case control characters: .skip 1 H_\_\ERE IS A _^SAMPLE _^SENTENCE IN _^_^UPPER CASE_\_\ AND LOWER CASE. .skip 1 becomes: .skip 1 Here is a Sample Sentence in UPPER CASE and lower case. .p An additional character, less-than (_<), capitalizes the entire word it precedes. It then returns the file to the current case. This character is not engaged unless preceded by the FLAGS CAPITALIZE command. If the capitalization character is engaged, you may capitalize a whole section of text by inserting _^_< in front of the text and _^_^ after the text. Similarly to the lower case lock a single character may be forced to lower case rather than upper case by preceeding it with (_\). .s These case change control symbols always override the actual case of the input text and also the implied case of a command. For example the command .HEADER LEVEL would normally produce a capitalized title for level number 1. This may be changed by preceeding the title with _\_\ to force it to lower case.
