I hadn't come across 'position' before so I'll read up on that for starters.
Please remember that the task before me is to have a single letter as a drop quote, and to have three specific lines of poetry to the drop cap's right. Those lines cannot flow; they must appear exactly as is shown in the image attached to my first post, even when the person reading the ebook changes the font size or family.
As part of my desperate thrashing around since my last post I set the background colour of the drop cap to red, and don't understand why the red extends two lines or so _below_ the drop cap - nor what is probably more important, how to stop the background colour of the dropcap from extending below the dropcap. Can anyone help?
