case-fold-up-char

Name

case-fold-up-char -- Return the uppercase form of a single character

Synopsis

(case-fold-up-char ch #!optional (uc-list default-uppercase-list)       (lc-list default-lowercase-list))

Description

Returns the uppercase form of ch if ch is a member of lowercase-list, otherwise return ch.

The implied mapping from uppercase to lowercase in the two lists is one-to-one. The first element of the uppercase list is the uppercase form of the first element of the lowercase list, and vice versa.

ch: The character to fold down.
uc-list: The list of uppercase letters. The default is the list of English uppercase letters.
lc-list: The list of lowercase letters. The default is the list of English lowercase letters.
