EXPRESS functions use uppercase IFC classes, is this correct?
For example on this page: http://ifc43-docs.standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4x3/HTML/lexical/IfcSurfaceStyle.htm

The IFC class is ALLCAPS (and hyperlinked, which leads to a broken link here). Should it be allcaps? If not, that's something to fix, if yes, then I should fix the link parsing.
Note that you may not see the hyperlink on the live URL because it's probably outdated. The ability to have allcaps as links was included later (to allow for hyperlinks in STEP examples).
Yes, this is correct:
15.25 TypeOf - general function
...
Result : The contents of the returned set of string values are the names (in upper case)
[emphasis mine]
Ok, note to self that I need to fix the auto linking code then :)
correct, the type name has to be in UPPERCASE. So if we want to create the hyperlink, the generator has to make the conversion into CamelCase.
note to @Moult - please close the issue, once you fixed the link parsing
