This is not an uncommon issue when using Drop Caps in a novel/fiction book. If
the odf. Format does not support this, it might be a good idea to correct this
missing feature. (Which - I know - is not LO's job. It's still something
important though.)

#3 is pretty much "Create a Character-Style for the character in front of the
big Drop Caps letter, that then can be edited, just the same way you can edit
the Drop Caps character style."

1. I don't think it would be that complex... The user can decide whether to use
this feature and which Symbols should be skipped.
2. Also, how would you go about properly editing the Quotation marks? I have
tried, but it doesn't work properly.
