Magazine Style Drop Caps



Dropcaps like in a fancy magazine is what you see in this post. I saw instructions for this trick at Mandarin Design and I wanted to share this beauty with you all.
It is done by putting the first letter of your post within -tags, with a class named "dropcaps". In your CSS-definitions, you can set this first letter to Very Big, and in a different color. I use the following CSS-definition:


In your post, the first letter is inside a span like this: D. The result is very nice: a large capital that stretches over 5 lines.
