        <p class="none">The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</p>
        <h4>text-transform : capitalize</h4>
        <p class="capitalize">The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</p>
        <h4>text-transform : uppercase</h4>
        <p class="uppercase">The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</p>
        <h4>text-transform : lowercase</h4>
        <p class="lowercase">The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</p>
    </body>
</html>
/* doesn't transform the text */
p.none {
    text-transform: none;
}
