Now I've seen stuff like this...

<p>Just some text. <span class="italic">S<span class="SmallCaps">OME</span> S<span class="SmallCaps">MALLCAP TEXT</span>.</span></p>

Can this be done?
Sure. (Having an example of the expected output for the shown input would help avoid confusion )

Code:
<span class="SmallCaps">(.+?)</span>
<span class="SmallCaps">\L\1</span>
