something like this should achieve that

If the image is larger than a certain size it gets put onto a line by itself, so make sure the image is small enough. |
Ok, I replaced the bizarre table based drop cap with a much simpler larger first letter. I know this is possible, since all the books I bought from the connect store (all 3 of them
) do it.
Code:
<font size="+3">T</font>he road leading out of
Constantinople was dusty, the stones thirsty after
which should look ssomething like

However, html2lrf just ignored it and kept the first letter of the chapter the same size as all the others. Is this supported?
Edit: Never mind. the trick is to use proper CSS, and not <font size="+3">. It appears to not understand relative font sizes.
