Well, that's interesting. I swear I tested that ::first-letter and it worked in Calibre's editor/viewer as well as on my Kobo (as KEPUB). I just went back to double-check and it's not working. I have no idea what changed.

Drat. I was really happy with that.

EDIT: The problem has something to do with my using it in:

Code:

h1 + p, h2 + p, hr + p {
  text-indent: 0;
}
h1 + p::firstletter, h2 + p::first-letter, hr + p::first-letter {
    font-weight: bold;
}

I thought I'd fixed the issue earlier when I used the two h + p classes (one for indent and one for first-letter). Looks like I was wrong. If I just use p::first-letter, it works fine. I'll have to play around with it some more.

EDIT 2: Hah. A lousy typo. In my first first-letter case, I dropped a hyphen: "h1 + p::firstletter," instead of "h1 + p::first-letter,". Putting it back lets it all work again. Now I'll try testing on Kobo (it works in Calibre's stuff).
