Is there a way to make a drop cap in TiddlyWiki

[Andy Pastuszak]

I'm experimenting with using TiddlyWiki to convert a book for a printed set of pages to something far more useful.  I'd like to try and "fancy things up" a bit.

For sure; just use CSS. I don't have time to dig up specifics at the moment but hopefully the information that you for sure can do it, and easily so, should be enough for you to google around a little by yourself.

You can use a style block at the bottom of the tiddler to try things out and have the preview feature active to see immediate results.

One way to do it:

1) Create a tiddler tagged $:/Stylesheet with the following content:

p.dropcap:first-child:first-letter { float: left; color: #903; font-size: 75px; line-height: 60px; padding-top: 4px; padding-right: 8px; padding-left: 3px; font-family: Georgia; }

2) Surround the paragraphs you want to have dropcaps with <p class="dropcap">your text</p>

Hi Andy,

I have a simple macro which I created for my {{DesignWrite}} exercises, which inserts a big curly quotation mark at the start of pull-quotes, as a drop-cap. Then I can just use it as <<big-ldquo>> wherever I want it. I guess you could do something similar using a parameter, as <<dropcap "S">> or whatever. Just a thought.

A good example of my <<big-ldquo>> macro in use is shown here.

Hegart.

Thank you!

Is there a transclusion method that could be used?

for example, if tiddler is of a type which requires drop cap then format it such.
