TIL CSS pseudo-element first-letter, to make a Drop Cap

POSTED ON:

TAGS: css html

A drop-cap is this:

You can add a drop cap to a paragraph by using the ::first-letter pseudo-element.

p::first-letter {
  font-size: 250%;
}

It's accessible! It's also not hacking the page with nasty <span> tags.

REFERENCE:
Accessible Drop Caps
