Case

Nota Bene does not automatically change the case of letters that you type (e.g., to capitalize the first letter in a sentence) unless you choose to have it do so. However, a number of options for entering and/or changing the casing of the text are available. All of the following options are available by clicking Edit, Case.

Automatic Sentence Case: The program can be set to automatically capitalize the first letter of each sentence. For more information, see Automatic Sentence Case.

Change Case: The case of text that has already been typed can be changed to all uppercase, all lowercase, or capitalized, or you can toggle the case, changing uppercase letters to lowercase and vice versa. This is done by issuing an immediate command that changes the characters themselves. The keyboard shortcut for toggling the case is Ctrl+Space, and this is particularly useful if you have left Cap Lock on by mistake. See Change Case or Change Case: uc, lc, cc, fc commands.

Character Case: A command can be inserted in the document that reads all of the text that follows the command as uppercase letters even if the text is typed in a combination of upper and lowercase. The information about how the text was typed (uppercase or lowercase) is retained and can be seen in Show Codes View. Similarly, a command can be inserted that reads all of the text that follows as all lowercase, or all small caps or uppercase and small caps. See Character Case or Character Case: rg command.
