For Deb "steal all you like" - Part 1

"Steal the code" click into the form. Right click "Select all" "Copy" You know what to do after that :-) <br /><br /><p> <br /><span style="float:left;line-height:70px;padding-top:2px;">F</span>or a drop cap like this one I forced the first letter to span about five lines and adjusted the font-size to 100 px and the line height to 70 px. (I tried a line-height of 80 but that leaves a little too much white space. <br /><br /><br /><br />A Drop Cap should be close to the size of the title text or larger. By trying various font-sizes and adjusting the height as needed. The result is similar to a magazine dropcap or a drop cap in a book.<br /><br /><br /><br />The "steal all you like" code is inline for ease of use. Adjust to suit using for example keywording or ems and then convert to embedded or linked style sheet.<br /><br /><br /></p> Using a span either as a class or an ID saves you messing around with pseudoclasses which IMO are more trouble than they're worth. If I remember correctly Stu has something similar. You might want to toddle along and search his site. This is just one of a heap of methods that I use. Let me know if you want me to post the others. By virtue of synchronicity I'm working on a "magazine cover page" layout. For a site of my own. I'm doing this in what I laughingly refer to as my "spare time." I'll let you know when it's ready. NB: Not to be linked to from OF I've got enough spamming problems already.
