This is a quickie question.

Am I right when I suppose that I cannot use the

<font style=”font-variant:small-caps”>

tag without the CSS upgrade?

I tested it and it doesn’t seem to work – just wanted to be sure…

Changing the font does work

Maybe it’s the font-variant part that’s not supported.

I’d suggest you to do it like this:
```
<div style="font-variant:small-caps;">
   <p>your text here</p>
</div>
```
The font tag is deprecated. Also, although you can use it, the WP software will strip out any properties you add to it.

@ katm – yeah I read both faqs before posting but it wasn’t clear if the style property was supported.

@ devblog – thanks alot – that seems to work.
