![]() The workaround for this problem is to use an alternative/soft line-break. Instead, it is shrunk to normal proportions, and sits above the next paragraph. For longer paragraphs, a drop-cap spanning two or more lines works fine but if the paragraph is short the first character doesn’t get dropped to span the lines. Unfortunately, it causes problems if the first paragraph is a single, short sentence. ![]() I used this for an early print-test, so if you just want some quick-and-dirty solutions, feel free to follow this guide.įor my printed novel, I wanted drop-caps at the beginning of a chapter. There’s a brief tutorial and sample project here I suggest you learn LaTeX instead – it’s well worth scaling the steep learning curve. I hasten to add, you should never use this for commercial print as it lacks certain subtle, but important, features. ![]() Drop-caps in LibreOffice/OpenOffice… Wonderful things, when they work.
