Hi 1v4n0,

I use the following for my books. It has a large drop cap for the first letter and all smallcaps for the first line. But Toxaris is correct, the pseudo-elements aren't supported in all readers. I choose not to use readers that don't support it!! lol

Code:

/* First Para in lieu of Drop Caps */
p.first              {text-indent:0; font-size:1em; line-height:1em; clear:both}
p.first:first-letter {font-family:serif; font-size:2em; font-weight:bold; float:left; margin:-.1em .1em -.1em .1em; line-height:1}
p.first:first-line   {font-variant:small-caps; font-size:1.15em}


with:
<p class="first"> (on my first paragraph in the chapter)
