 * Hello. Not a theme related question, but is there a way you know of making `::
   selection{}`CSS code accept `text-transform:` property? I have the post title
   set to capitalize, but I would like it not to show in caps when copy-pasted to
   another medium like Facebook or Twitter.

 * Hi there,
 * I don’t believe that’s possible, unfortunately. I think the copy/paste functionality
   will respect how the original text is formatted.
 * I might be wrong, though – I just couldn’t find anything saying otherwise.

 * Okay, thanks. I tried a site I don’t remember 3 days ago with capitalised text
   but on pasting, it showed in lower case. (Correction: All h1’s are set to uppercase).

 * [@edge22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edge22/) I found [only Firefox](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/pull/3107/files)
   does ignore the styling. Other browsers do not. So this seems more of browsers(
   bug maybe?) opting to show they styling differently, [like Chrome](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59117113/text-transformed-using-the-css-property-text-transformuppercase-copying-as-uppe).
