Text Formatting ⇒ Descriptive list with small caps?

[plowshare]

Hello.

I am new here, I have started using LaTeX a few days ago. Everything is okay at this time but when I try something like not-standard it gives me a headache. I am trying to make a descriptive enumeration I think it is called, this I mean (to avoid wrong spellings):

Code: Select all

\begin{description} 
\item [a] For hyperlinks.
\item [img] For images.
\end{description}

But in my case I would like to small-cap what's inside the [ ]. If I try \textsc{} it doesn't work properly.
Could you please give me a hint to do this?

Thanks!

Hi,

it's very easy if you use a KOMA-Script document class:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\descfont}{\scshape}

That's just one example, those classes extend standard classes by many features and offer many possibilities for customization.

Complete minimal example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\renewcommand*{\descfont}{\scshape}
\begin{document}
\begin{description}
\item [a] For hyperlinks.
\item [img] For images.
\end{description}
\end{document}
