Try [and tweak]:
p:first-letter { font-size: 300%; }
p:first-line { line-height: 100%; }

See: pseudo elements

have a look at the ::first-letter pseudo-element
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#first-letter

something like this:

p::first-letter {
font-size: 3.2 em;
line-height: .8em;
font-weight: bold;
}

[css-d] first character in a paragraph should be bigger

2012-01-16 Thread Martin 

Hi there,

I'm wondering if it'd be possible to style the first letter of a 
paragraph so that it'd be 3-lines height (I mean generally bigger) as it 
was in old texts, eg:




| irst letter of each paragraph should be
- as big as that. I don't know if that's possible
| but it'd be nice to know it. It'd look good on
my website. Thank you very much

Would it require using pictures or css would do?

regards

Martin

Re: [css-d] conditional styles don't seem to apply - why?

Thank you all.

It was a path issue, regarding the server side programming language in question.

K. Regards, and thanks again for your availability,
