[textile] Removing caps span ?
Is it possible to remove the
<span class="caps">ABC</span>
that is added automatically to all groups of caps in the newest Textile?

No. Just don’t style the caps class if you don’t want it to appear any different.

Is there a reason why it gets added?

Typography option is the most likely reason.

link.
Adding it is harmless enough – just leave it alone and it has no effect.

It could be useful for styling comments.
I manage a site where visitors usually leave comments like: “This is AWESOME.”
Sometimes, I edit the comment and re-write the word in lowercase, but I could also apply a rule like .caps {text-transformation: lowercase; font-weight: strong; }. This way, I would avoid the need of editing the comment to remove the caps.
Of course, when CSS is off, the caps are still there…
Just a thought.

It is a major pain to try and edit a large chunk of comment text when the author has written in all caps, when (span class=“caps”) appears between every letter.

In order to avoid this major pain, which in my case occurs two or three times a day, is there no file that can be edited to make this go away, then?

This mark up is a bit sloppy. I wonder would it choke up a screen reader?
its a bad hen that wont scratch itself.

I’ve just commented the line:
‘<span class=“caps”>$1</span>$2’, // 3+ uppercase
From /textpattern/lib/classTextile.php
In my case a previous designer had styled the <span>‘s on a certain page therefore the ‘fix’ of removing the .caps styling had no effect. This should be optional functionality in my opintion. If it’s going to add anything I’d rather a properly executed <abbr /> tag!
Edit: I’ve actually replaced the line with:
‘$1$2’, // 3+ uppercase
as it was causing ABR… rather then ABRs

Hello Luke
Welcome to the textpattern forums and thanks for voicing your opinion on the textile caps-span issue. If you’d care to do so, please open a feature request issue for better abbr support on the textile repository’s issue tracker so this doesn’t get overlooked.
Thank you.
