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>? ]
