Created attachment 1257 [details] complete description of this issues The first-letter pseudo-element represents the first letter of the first line of a block, if it is not preceded by any other content (such as images or inline tables) on its line. It allows that first letter to be styled individually, without markup. It may be used for "initial caps" and "drop caps", which are common typographical effects in text in Latin script. Drop initial is a typographic effect emphasizing the initial letter(s) of a block element with a presentation similar to a 'floated' element. The drop initial effect may also be used for writing systems which use different alignment strategies. For example, in Devanagari the hanging baseline may be preferred. In that case the primary connection point connects the text-after-edge of the initial letter with the text-after-edge of the nth line, but the secondary connection point connects the hanging baselines of the initial letter and the initial line.
