(LO Writer 25.8)
I’m writing (or rather, translating) some poetic verse which is alphabetic acrostic, and wanting mild highlighting of the first letter, thus:
Alphabetic acrostics have lines that
Begin with alphabetic letters
Consecutively appearing
Down the left hand
Edge of the page…
For that demonstration above, I was able to ‘bold’ that initial letter by handcrafting each occurrence.
And so to LO. And I’m assuming that in LO each line would be a paragraph, but I’m open to better suggestions.
I haven’t seen a way in LO to do such first-letter re-styling. There’s DropCaps but that (a) feels designed for its own, different, multi-line purpose; and (b) seems not to allow more general restyling (e.g. colour, font, small %-age size increase, etc.) of the first letter.
For reference, I develop and maintain this real-life, use-case versification on my website. For that, CSS offers its “::first-letter” pseudo-element, which seems to work well, allowing quite general re-styling of the first letter. It’s here: ServiceMusic: Lamentations 1
Does LO offer something similar to CSS “::first-letter”?
