CSS can turn every letter capital by saying text-transform:capitalize; (maybe "capitals" or "capital" instead of "capitalize") but it can't do the first letter of each word. Sadly. I wish it could do that, or at least the first letter of each sentence.

Nope... CSS can turn *every* letter capital by saying

text-transform:capitalize;

(maybe "capitals" or "capital" instead of "capitalize")

but it can't do the first letter of each word. Sadly. I wish it could do that, or at least the first letter of each sentence.

.text{font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color:#000000;}

then you want to use the same thing just with the first letter capitalized you would do something like:

Then in you html you would just do this:

<p class="text"><span class="bigText">T</span>his is some text</p>

That is the only way that I could think of doing it. The <span> tag doesn't but any breaks in the line.
