Yeah, I have run into italic smallcaps in a few books, and I do it just like the method above (just add font-style: italic; to my smallcaps class)
Speaking of LaTeX, do you have any good tutorials on it?

Code:
<ade:template xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:ade="http://ns.adobe.com/2006/ade" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<ade:style>
<ade:styling-rule selector="span.caps" font-weight="bold"/>
</ade:style>
</ade:template>
which is the equivalent of:
Code:
span.smallcaps {
font-weight: bold;
}
(or underlined, or grey background, or whatever style we want to replace the smallcaps with in ADE). |
Genius. That is probably around the same code I would have figured out after tinkering with it tonight... now I won't have to!
I might have to start doing this, and then begin implementing in all future books/revisions.

Good to know, I did not know this. Although I try to avoid embedding fonts if at all possible (I think it bloats the EPUB, and my goals are accurate text/minimal code/easy transferability than getting a certain "look").
Quick question, how do you guys at work deal with a book with lots of accented greek characters?
I did a post a while back asking this question + a sample (all greek words marked with a "greek" CSS class):

Side Note: I am still loving this tornado we stirred up of information. Psymon has started a lot of influential ideas and raising the quality of lots of books from the discussion in this thread.
