What do you want to capitalize?

- The first letter of a paragraph?
- The first letter of a sentence?
- The first letter of each word?
- Every letter of every word?
- …

You could probably do that using basic javascript in your card templates.

**Edit:** you actually answered that in your title. Sorry about that. But in this case: Do you want to capitalize every sentense on your card or just the first one?

The simplest option is to just type the characters correctly. Anki isn’t a word-processing program, so you shouldn’t expect it to auto-correct your typing for you.

Select the text and use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+L.

You could use javascript in your card template. E.g. like this:

```html
<div id=front>{{Front}}</div>

<script>
	var front = document.getElementById("front");
	front.innerHTML = front.innerHTML.replace(/(^|[.!?]\s)(\w)/g, function(first_letter) {
		return first_letter.toUpperCase();
	});
</script>

```

It transforms

> this is a sentence. yet another sentence here. and one more for good measure.

into

> This is a sentence. Yet another sentence here. And one more for good measure.

To understand the regex, I suggest you go to [https://regexr.com/](https://regexr.com/) and paste `/(^|[.!?]\s)(\w)/g`.
