What is it?
This property is used to create text composed of capital letters (existing capital letters will be larger than the surrounding small-capped content.) This property will have no effect on language systems that do not use more than one case.

Allowed Values
inherit

normal
[CSS1|CSS2|CSS2.1] [IE4B1|N6|O3.5|S1.2]
Type: Explicit
Description:
This value specifies a font that does not use a 'small-capping' effect; all differences in case are displayed as-is using the specified font.
small-caps
[CSS1|CSS2|CSS2.1] [IE4B1|N6|O3.5|S1.2]
Type: Explicit
Description:
This value indicates a 'small-caps' font be used for the current content (content is composed only of capital-case letters.) If such a font is not natively available, the effect should be simulated by the browser using different font sizes.
Example
Ext/Doc: span.sample { font-variant: small-caps }
In-Line:  <span STYLE="font-variant: small-caps">Small Capped Text</span>
