All of it, both markup and text. This is significantly different from HTML and most other SGML applications. It was done to allow markup in non-Latin-alphabet languages, and to obviate problems with case-folding in writing systems which are caseless. * Element type names are case-sensitive: you must follow whatever combination of upper- or lower-case you use to define them (either by first usage or in a DTD or Schema). So you can't say …: upper- and lower-case must match; thus , , and are three different element types; * For well-formed XML documents with no DTD, the first occurrence of an element type name defines the casing; * Attribute names are also case-sensitive, for example the two width attributes in and (if they occurred in the same file) are separate attributes, because of the different case of width and WIDTH; * Attribute values are also case-sensitive. CDATA values (eg Url="MyFile.SGML") always have been, but NAME types (ID and IDREF attributes, and token list attributes) are now case-sensitive as well; * All general and parameter entity names (eg Á), and your data content (text), are case-sensitive as always.
