trying out the drop caps from mandarin design. instructions for all in comments.
Stu has tweaked the code to give the cap room away from the rest of the text. Like this:

I like them both. I've wanted to do stuff like that for a while, just can't manage my time well enough to pull myself away from the silly activities...work, games, crappy tv, sleep, etc. :)
I like them!
Hi Susan,
I changed Meg's parameters a little so that the letters do not touch the boundary but bave background colour all around them. Try it like this :-
(less-than-character)
span style="margin-right:6px;margin-top:5px;float:left;background:#FCF4BD;border:1px solid black;font-size:50px;line-height:40px;padding:5px;"
(greater-than-character) (LETTER) (close-span)
Both look good - and I love the quote. :-)
I hope you're having a good week. *HUGS*
Thanks, everyone. Stu, I was wondering about that cap being too close to the other stuff. Will try your way.
Here's the code for the first two Drop Caps posted. Of course, change the [ & ] to < & >. You may not need the [p] tags unless you want it to display in paragraph form. Thanks, Meg!
