This is a documentation subpage for Template:Largeinitial. It contains usage information, categories, interlanguage links and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
This template is for creating the large initial of a beginning paragraph that is common in both modern and antiquated typography:
Lorem ipsum sit amet...
To use
{{largeinitial|content|font-size|margin-top|margin-right|margin-bottom|margin-left|font-family}}.
- The font-size parameter and margin value parameters should be specified with relative units, i.e. as a percent or in 'en' or 'em' units.
- The font-family parameter is specified as font= serif or sans-serif.
None of the parameters are necessary, in which case the defaults are
- content = A
- font-size = 3em
- all margins = 0em
- font = serif
Alternate typography
If you need the "drop initial" effect in a text, in which the enlarged initial drops below the baseline and the subsequent lines of the text wrap around it use the template {{dropinitial}}:
Lorem ipsum suas propriae ne nam. Duo etiam omittam ea, ex mei nostrud interesset. Sea no idque aliquyam, cu utamur impedit usu.
