Is it possible to convert a simple string ("Hello World!") to uppercase ("HELLO WORLD!")?

The upper filter is what you are looking for:
{% set var = 'Hello World' %} {# Print in UPPERCASE #} {{ var|upper }} {# 'HELLO WORLD' #} Besides upper there are also some other filters available to modify the capitalization style of your strings. Of course there is the lowercase equivalent lower and additionally there are some Craft exclusive filters available.
<ul> {# Set test strings #} {% set strLower = 'this is a test string' %} {% set strUpper = 'THIS IS A TEST STRING' %} {% set strMixed = 'this Is a TEST stRing' %} {# Apply Twig filters #} <li>upper: {{ strLower|upper }}</li> {# 'THIS IS A TEST STRING' #} <li>lower: {{ strUpper|lower }}</li> {# 'this is a test string' #} {# Apply filters provided by Craft #} <li>ucwords: {{ strLower|ucwords }}</li> {# 'This Is A Test String' #} <li>ucfirst: {{ strLower|ucfirst }}</li> {# 'This is a test string' #} <li>lcfirst: {{ strUpper|lcfirst }}</li> {# 'tHIS IS A TEST STRING' #} {# Combine filters for predictable application #} <li>ucwords: {{ strMixed|lower|ucwords }}</li> {# 'This Is A Test String' #} <li>ucfirst: {{ strMixed|lower|ucfirst }}</li> {# 'This is a test string' #} <li>lcfirst: {{ strMixed|upper|lcfirst }}</li> {# 'tHIS IS A TEST STRING' #} {# Examples for possible use cases #} <li>PascalCase: {{ strMixed|lower|ucwords|replace(' ', '') }}</li> {# 'ThisIsATestString' #} <li>camelCase: {{ strMixed|lower|ucwords|lcfirst|replace(' ', '') }}</li> {# 'thisIsATestString' #} </ul>

- Over 500reps SE allows you to edit directly, and why should somebody have something against it? ;)Victor– Victor2014-06-14 13:55:04 +00:00Commented Jun 14, 2014 at 13:55
- So there no way to just suggest changes if you have this "privilege"? Don't like that actually.carlcs– carlcs2014-06-14 13:57:18 +00:00Commented Jun 14, 2014 at 13:57
