12/02/2019, 10:50 AMAccording to material.io buttons should show text in ALLCAPS to emphasize (especially textbuttons), but when testing the JetPack Compose Button styles i cannot see that particular style has been applied to Button. Or do I have to capitalize the text myself (Not quite right after the material.io guidelines though...)
Any suggestions ?

It would have been Very Nice if it could just have a capitalizedText:Boolean style switch argument...

12/03/2019, 8:51 AMWell, I saw this ( https://material.io/components/buttons/#anatomy ) in section "Text Label":
"By default Material uses capitalized button text labels (for languages that have capitalization). This is to distinguish the text label from surrounding text. If a text button does not use capitalization for button text, find another characteristic to distinguish it such as color, size, or placement."
So... this is an item which will change... in time.
