I have a very long list of words that are all in capitals and it is necessary to change them to title case. For instance:

Code:

<li>DOG HOUSE</li>

needs to be

Code:

<li class="small-caps">Dog House</li>

The search string

Code:

<li>([A-Z])([A-Z]*)</li>

will find

Code:

<li>DOG</li>
<li>CAT</li>
<li>BIRD</li>

and replace them as I want using this replace syntax

Code:

<li class="small-caps">\1\L\2</li>

The list items I am searching on in come cases are as many as 5 words. Is there a method of RegEx to accomplish this or am I asking too much of this tool?
