Want to style a small bit of text within a heading

    Hi, I'm working on this site: LINKhttp://whatismatt.com/demo/

    As you can see in the heading, the 'g7+' bit is purple. That much I've done, but I want the whole heading to be lowercase caps, with the 'g7+' to remain in lowercase lettering, but I'm struggling to edit the header and style sheet to achieve this.

    Any suggestions?

    .head { text-transform: lowercase; } in your theme's style.css should lowercase the heading.

    Yes, but the problem I'm having is that I want a part of the heading, in the middle of it, in lowercase, and the text around it in small-caps.

    I'm working with this:

    .head
    	{
    	font: 400 3.5em 'helvetica','times new roman','lucida sans','lucida sans unicode','verdana',sans-serif;
    	color: #000;
    	margin-left: 170px;
    	padding-top: 25px;
    	[B]font-variant: small-caps[/B];
    	}
    
    .head span {
    	margin-left: 0px;
    	color: #800080;
    	[B]text-transform: lowercase[/B];
    	}
    Code (markup):
    But the font-variant seems to override the text transform.

    Oh now I see. Then do .head span { font-variant: normal; }
