Hi everyone.
I am trying to increase the size of the very first letter for each chapter
in an xhtml document. I have used the css pseudo class "first-letter" to
do it, but it selects all the p elements in a chapter, not just the first.
p:first-letter {
font-size: 16pt;
}
I could use xsl to make the first child p of the chapter a special class of
p like <p class="firstsentence">
Sort of like
p.firstsentence:first-letter
But not sure if this is the way to go...., any handy XSL tricks for this?
Thanks!
