Anyway to configure it so it will consider the uppercase/lowercase the

I am using LyX 2.0.0 (2011-04-29) on a Ubuntu system with lyx 2.0.0-1
packages. I export XHTML using the lyxhtml export.
My goal is to create mobi (for kindle) and epub (for nook)files. I am
using calibre 0.8.8 for conversion from the XHTML file.
Here are my issues:
