I just tried it in ADE 2 and ADE 1.7.2 and it looks fine in both. I don't see the problem.

Ideally, yes to the first. As a practical matter, I say yes to the second.

I do this:

span.smallcap {
font-size: 90%;
font-weight: bold;
}

Wolfie, my dear:

You won't see the problem in ADE, at least, not the problem I addressed. The problem, if you're using multiple spans in a header line, is that Nook goes bonkers, and breaks the line. If you set the line to hyphenation off, you can end up with the entire line appearing in a bizarro-world vertical row, or, if you set hyphenation ON, you end up with words hyphenated where they should not be, e.g., (this is a real-world example): Bartle-tt.

For whatever reason, the Nook simply can't handle it. I've discussed this over the years with both Liz and even Josh, and neither had coding for it then that worked, to emulate a BFL+Smallcaps look that would work in Nook. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist--hell, it might. But on a real device, it's just the pig's ear.

@notjohn: I know you know that this does NOT work for most KF7 devices, right? No CSS, no work?

I do have a (bought) book which does that weird vertical sh*t in ADE. If I remember which book it is, I'll have a look how they managed to create that beauty.

See, thar you go. I may not have noticed, because I saw it LIVE (and in person!) on a device, which freaked me right out. I tend to use ADE for proofing, full-screen, but..sure, it makes sense; if you reduced ADE small enough, arguably, certainly for ADE 2.0, it should happen also. Given that ADE is still, as far as I know, Nook's rendering engine?
