Editing Capitalization (section)

===Accents===
In most languages that use [[diacritic]]s, these are treated the same way in uppercase whether the text is capitalized or all-uppercase. They may be always preserved (as in German) or always omitted (as in Greek) or often omitted (as in French).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/|title=The Chicago Manual of Style, 17th Edition|website=The Chicago Manual of Style Online|access-date=2019-01-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090105172745/http://chicagomanualofstyle.org/|archive-date=2009-01-05|url-status=dead}}</ref> Some attribute this to the fact that diacritics on capital letters were not available earlier on typewriters, and it is now becoming more common to preserve them in French and Spanish (in both languages the rule is to preserve them,<ref>{{lang|fr|[http://www.academie-francaise.fr/langue/questions.html#accentuation 'Accentuation des majuscules'] Questions de langue : Académie française}}</ref> although in France and Mexico, for instance, schoolchildren are often erroneously taught that they should not add diacritics on capital letters).

However, in the [[polytonic orthography]] used for [[Greek alphabet|Greek]] prior to 1982, accents were omitted in all-uppercase words, but kept as part of an uppercase initial (written before rather than above the letter). The latter situation is provided for by title-case characters in Unicode. When [[Greek language|Greek]] is written with the present day [[monotonic orthography]], where only the acute accent is used, the same rule is applied. The accent is omitted in all-uppercase words but it is kept as part of an uppercase initial (written before the letter rather than above it). The {{lang|el-Latn|dialytika}} (diaeresis) should also always be used in all-uppercase words (even in cases where they are not needed when writing in lowercase, e.g. {{lang|el|ΑΫΛΟΣ — άυλος}}).
