All the methods and code examples in this conversation add all sorts of unnecessary html. Why aren't more people using the handy CSS pseudo-elements? Are there that many devices that do not support the pseudo-elements?
I just code for myself for the Kindle and Galaxy Tab. They both have no trouble supporting the fanciest options of dropcaps, scenebreaks, etc. In fact, I often have to strip out all that structural code in the first line of every chapter just to get the clean code I need to liven up my reading!
