If you split xhtml segments at every <h1> you can use the pseudo code to create dropcaps at the first letter of the first <p> following every <h1> when converting to PDF. If the xhtml segments are merged into a single file (to avoid page breaks before <h1>) then the pseudo code does not function and there are no dropcaps. Of course, normally, you would NOT merge the <h1> xhtml segments; I did that to prevent page breaks before every <h1>. However, if you also have <h2> subchapters you may actually want to prevent page breaks between every <h2>. If so, the above code for <h2> is a "work around" which lets you make drop caps no matter if the xhtml segments are merged or split. These are TALLcaps because dropcaps (float:left) are not well behaved. Best regards, Pop
