DropCaps on your WordPress blog
How do I do a dropcaps on the first letter of a post?
DropCaps is the name for the effect where the first letter of the first paragraph in an article drops below the line of text, and is displayed in a larger font-size than the other normal letters.
This can be done using BBCode quicktags. First, add this to your style sheet:
#fp:first-letter {
font-size : 300%;
font-weight : bold;
float : left;
margin-right: 3px;
}
then add following code to file /wp-includes/js/quicktags.js and put them among edButtons:
edButtons[edButtons.length] =
new edButton('ed_capdrop'
,'CapDrop'
,'<p id="fp">'
,'</p>'
,'c'
);
You will now see a CapDrop quicktag in your edit window.
Amazing what you find while rooting around for other stuff…
