Summary
The initial-letter
CSS property specifies styling for dropped, raised, and sunken initial letters.
Initial value | normal |
---|---|
Applies to | ::first-letter pseudo-elements and inline-level first child of a block container |
Inherited | no |
Media | visual |
Computed value | as specified |
Animation type | discrete |
Canonical order | the unique non-ambiguous order defined by the formal grammar |
Syntax
/* Keyword values */ initial-letter: normal; /* Numeric values */ initial-letter: 1.5; /* Initial letter occupies 1.5 lines */ initial-letter: 3.0; /* Initial letter occupies 3 lines */ initial-letter: 3.0 2; /* Initial letter occupies 3 lines and sinks 2 lines */ /* Global values */ initial-letter: inherit; initial-letter: initial; initial-letter: unset;
Values
normal
- No special initial-letter effect. Text behaves as normal.
<number>
- This first argument defines the size of the initial letter, in terms of how many lines it occupies. Negative values are not allowed.
<integer>
- This optional second argument argument defines the number of lines the initial letter should sink. Values must be greater than zero. If omitted, it duplicates the first argument, floored to the nearest positive whole number.
Formal syntax
normal | [ <number> <integer>? ]
Example
CSS content
.normal { initial-letter: normal; } .onefive { initial-letter: 1.5; } .three { initial-letter: 3.0; }
HTML content
<p class="normal">Initial letter is normal</p> <p class="onefive">Initial letter occupies 1.5 lines</p> <p class="three">Initial letter occupies 3 lines</p>
