Según lo que he leido, deben llevar tilde las mayúsculas.

Del informe de la RAE denominado Ortografía de la Lengua Española:

4.10. Acentuación de letras mayúsculas.
Las mayúsculas llevan tilde si les corresponde según las reglas dadas. Ejemplos: África, PERÚ, Órgiva, BOGOTÁ. La Academia nunca ha establecido una norma en sentido contrario.

Rusty, I'm sorry, but when you write in capital letters ain't necessary put in the letters accents.

Example:

EL ARBOL TIENE HOJAS GRANDES

El Árbol tiene hojas grandes.

At least, I remember when you write in capital letter all the text ain't necessary set accents in the words.

Regards.

Sorry to disagree with you, but you aren't citing the established rules set by the governing authority (RAE). Many people may ignore the rules, but Iblanco wanted to know what the rules are.

I've heard the same thing from Spanish teachers and others. However, I have since learned what the rules are and chose to pass them on to lblanco.

Pregunta sobre acentuación gramática

Thank you both for the clarification, I have been asking several colleagues the same question and have received different answers. I wasn't aware of the RAE grammar rule.

Thanks again

I agree with Rusty.
Years ago (with typewriters) it was not easy to fullfill all the accents, and it was "allowed" not to write accents in capitals. It was not right but nobody will say anything.
A lot of years ago, with computers more in use, then was clearly said it will be no more allowed. So Rusty (and the RAE ) is right.
I have recently answer a post,asking about Árabe http://forums.tomisimo.org/showthread.php?t=1767
and it must be Árabe, unless your system only allows Arabe.

saludos

PD I have find a good post who explains that

Tienes razón Rusty, pero yo no suelo ponerlas, probablemente por vaguería. Lo mismo sucede a veces en titulares de periódicos o publicidad, pero es una cuestión de ¿para qué estan las normas? Para saltárselas.
De todas maneras no me hagas mucho caso, porque aunque vivo en España, desde los 18 años estoy inmersa en mi propio mundo anglófono. Mis alumnos se ríen porque no conozco a ninguno de los famosos del momento, pero sé quién son los cocineros de moda en Inglaterra y todo ese otro tipo de información super transcendente y profunda.

Well, I know a bit of my thing and nothing of most things. But as one of the characters of East of Eden said, and I'm not quoting, because I don't remember the exact words, there would come a frightful time (our time) when human knowledge would be so vast, nobody would be able to know about everything.
I've become good at hiding my ignorance of certain topics when need be and I admit that I only try to learn what interests me.

Not a terrible endeavor--especially if you have lots of interests.

There will always be a lot of things to know.

Well, I'm glad there are a lot of things I still don't know, a lot of books I haven't read, a lot of people yet to be met. That's what keeps me alive...

Isn't that the truth?

There is always a ...place to go....people to meet....things to see....food to taste.....things to learn....

But alas, we never have enough time. If I could, I would like to live to be 28 for at least 30 years so that I could have enough time to do the things I want to do.

(wishful thinking)

True. Thanks for your optimism.
I know the rules, but I still have to learn to put them into practice, because, although I agree 100 % both with you and Elaina, sometimes it's easy, but sometimes it takes a lot of effort when not everything is as sunny and perfect as we as humans still expect it to be.(Maybe I shouldn't generalize)
I think very often we strive to change reality in an unrealistic way, instead of changing our attitude and learning to take things in our stride.
Para compensar el rollo que me acabo de marcar:
