But I do read with a smaller line height them most. So would that break your ODTRTA?
BTW, what you're talking about are
Raised Initials, rather than Drops. Most publishers roll with RIs, because while they mess up the leading on that first line (due to the line adjusting for descender space), it's far far less likely to go bonkers than a Dropbox.[/quote]
I had forgotten the correct term when I posted that. I;ve always heard it called raised cap. But no matter what it's called, I've seen it botched up more then correct. And when it's used on the first paragraph after a section break can also break it.

Wolfie, you know as well as I that Turtle already knows this. He's been doing this a very long time, too. Those of us in the biz all know this, already. Each of us makes a choice, about which things we'll live with, what we won't...it's highly individualized. And to some extent, it's dependent on the customers and their demands, too.

I was posting that mostly for others who may not know this. I know our resident reptile knows this.
If you didn't know who most of the customers of this eBook would be and what they would be using to read it, would you still do the pseudo classes or do it by hand with spans?
