bit of a necro post, but I find this works well for ADE-kindle on 100% text:
.drop { overflow: hidden; line-height: 89%; height: 0.75em; font-size: 281%; margin-right: 0.075em; float:left; } example/images on this blog post: http://stunjelly.com/e-books-drop-caps/ The overflow hidden gets rid of the need for the negative margins that kindle gets so upset by Last edited by NicWest; 11-27-2010 at 07:38 PM. |

There were a few issues with drop-caps that have been fixed in 2.1
Try with the new version. I'll do more tests with Word files imported in LibreOffice and I'll make sure it works. |
