## Description
<section id='description'>
The <code>text-transform</code> property in CSS is used to change the appearance of text. It's a convenient way to make sure text on a webpage appears consistently, without having to change the text content of the actual HTML elements.
The following table shows how the different <code>text-transform</code>values change the example text "Transform me".
<table class="table table-striped"><thead><th>Value<th>Result<tbody><tr><td><code>lowercase</code><td>"transform me"<tr><td><code>uppercase</code><td>"TRANSFORM ME"<tr><td><code>capitalize</code><td>"Transform Me"<tr><td><code>initial</code><td>Use the default value<tr><td><code>inherit</code><td>Use the <code>text-transform</code> value from the parent element<tr><td><code>none</code><td><strong>Default:</strong> Use the original text</td></table>
