While the classic implementation is as you pointed out, the idea behind the whole concept is to *highlight* the first character/word of a paragraph/chapter/... - and *typically* highlighting occurs not only by different font, but also by different size and spanning across several lines. But the OP's idea is a plausible extension of the concept, where N in {span across N lines} could be 1, and highlighting is done only by different font. Currently one can only implement this using manual assignment of a special style to first parts of corresponding paragraphs. Which, of course, might lead to errors (when some are erroneously skipped, or a highlighted portion got shifted by a find/replace operation and later the highlight wasn't cleared).</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
