Template:Largeinitial

Template documentation

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}}:
