<pre>Actually ODF supports it fine, just the ODF 1.3 "Canned" paragraph Drop Cap [1]
remains limited in composing the style:drop-cap
It is convenient of course to just tic a box on the Paragraph style Drop Caps
tab--but it is trivial otherwise to assign a typographically rich Character
Style (or two) to the leading character or words including punctuation of the
text run in a paragraph. And to reuse character style(s) on subsequent
paragraphs.
Such character styling can be captured into templates for reuse.
Adjusting the LO instance of "style:length word" attribute syntax to include
preceding punctuation might also be possible. But would diverge from ODF 1.3
norm.
But IMHO => WF as reasonable function applying character style to text runs is
already provided.
