Marcello, could you try to be a little politer? You seem to have a deep understanding of HTML and CSS, but that was hardly obvious to many of us who have a decent understanding of HTML, and many of our post-proofers have little understanding of HTML or computers; they just doing the best they can and working by rote at points. There's no need to insult them for trying to produce a good looking document.
Sorry. I got carried away by D Garcia's arguments, which are almost as good as You Know Who'se. To the PPers: I'm no CSS expert neither, but if you google for: css "drop cap" image you get to this site: http://www.stopdesign.com/articles/replace_text/ which explains the thing exactly. Next time some PPer wants to introduce a new feature I strongly advise him/her doing some research beforehand. There are many excellent CSS resources online. Also, a question asked on this list would have sufficed. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
