I'm a fan of drop caps as a visual element -- they, along with a bolded lede line, very much help draw the eye to section starts, in a way which is very nondistraction (IMO). A recent example, adding drop caps (and a number of other styling changes) to unv.is: https://mastodon.cloud/@dredmorbius/102329333215634483 Because I'm restyling a page, that's restricted to CSS-only methods, which for that site works marvelously. And on the principle of divorcing content and presentation, it appeals strongly. But on Wikipedia/Mediawiki, attempting to add drop-caps + bold lede-line results in a very annoying sift of the text offset by the drop cap *merely by defining a selector for ::first-line (Firefox/OSX): https://mastodon.cloud/@dredmorbius/102329661015728246 Somewhat maddenning. |
