Does anybody know why textile wants to wrap a string of capital letters
with a tag? Or know how to keep it from happening?
Why’s textile reference doesn’t mention anything about this “feature”.

Well… As the link explains, the ‘caps’ span is there so that we can
style acronyms. This is very strange to me. How come the people who
implementet this didn’t use the already existing tag in
HTML for this?

HTML acronym tag

Possibly because its not forward compatible:

Thomas,

I agree, but perhaps not everything in caps would be an . You
can achieve the effect by putting something in parentheses
after the term. Example:

But, however, if I don’t want to use an acronym for something like a TV
station’s call letters, KLBT, which isn’t an acronym for anything, then
I have to add a style for a .caps class or add a title to behave like an
acronym. I had never seen this in Textile before. I thought it was
something Radiant specific, but this was apparently of Why’s doing. I’ll
just work around it. Thanks.

Read the RedCloth rdoc. There’s a no_span_caps restriction/accessor
in both 3.0.4 and the forthcoming 4.0.
