mixed font to all uppercase.

Hi Matthieu
            Thanks for the quick reply. Apparently that only changes the 
next word. Trying to change all fonts in a file.


thanks

Is "C-x h C-x C-u" what you want?  ("C-x h" marks the whole buffer and
"C-x C-u" upcases the marked region.  It's in the manual, btw.)

Try the manual search instead:

  "C-h i d m emacs RET i upcase RET"

  M-: (upcase-region (point-min) (point-max)) RET

  Try to help yourself with some C-h before :-)

I'll let it as an exercice.

C-h k M-u will give you the name of the command so that you know which
keyword is relevant.

M-x apropos RET will give you the list of commands containing the
keyword you found above.

C-h w the-command-you-found RET will even give you a keybinding for
that.


Hints: The command you're looking also contains "region", and the way
to select a full buffer is C-x h.

,----[ C-h f upcase-word RET ]
| upcase-word is an interactive built-in function in `C source code'.
| It is bound to M-u.
| (upcase-word ARG)
| 
| Convert following word (or ARG words) to upper case, moving over.
| With negative argument, convert previous words but do not move.
| See also `capitalize-word'.
| 
| [back]
`----
So probably C-u 9999999 M-u or similar should do what you want.


You could have found out that M-u is actually running upcase-word via
C-h b. The C-h f upcase-word gives the above documentation. Or better
yet, read the manual somewhat.

Greetings,
Jochen
