<pre>Apology for not being familiar with W3C CSS working group nomenclature. I will
leave taxonomy to the experts and limit myself to express feature requests.

title="RESOLVED DUPLICATE - Allow drop caps to display as raised initial effect"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=103997">Bug 103997</a> got me thinking. My original request was for a simple small change
to the existing UI, but if <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed"
title="RESOLVED DUPLICATE - Allow drop caps to display as raised initial effect"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=103997">bug 103997</a> is to be marked as duplicate, and I agree
it is for reasons I wrote on that thread, then the request in this bug has to
be fleshed out. My 2 cents below.
USE CASE: there are many different creative ways to draw attention to the start
of a paragraph. Users will eventually think of new ways and a good
implementation of currently popular ways of making the start of a paragraph
stand out will allow for future development (3D printing anyone?).
IMPLEMENTATION:
(a) flexible definition of what is the first part of the paragraph
(b) incremental implementation of stand-out features
(a) DEFINITION OF THE FIRST PART OF THE PARAGRAPH
- letter: first number of letters (1->n)
- word: first number of words (1->n)
(b) STAND-OUT FEATURES
- STYLE
- HEIGHT, as the number of lines (my original request was just to allow for
HEIGHT=1)
- SPACING, as three choice: punch below, punch above, white space above (this
will cover the requests in <a class="bz_bug_link

title="RESOLVED DUPLICATE - Allow drop caps to display as raised initial effect"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=103997">bug 103997</a>)
Most important: leave this open to creative ideas of other ways to make the
beginning of a paragraph stand out. A graphic image? A lookup into a sequence
of graphic images based on the letter of the alphabet with which the paragraph
starts?</pre>
