Drop Caps CSS Update : Our Previous Drop Caps CSS Tutorials

 

CSS pseudo class selectors are what we normally currently use for Drop Caps. That simply means – adding a tiny piece of CSS will automatically add the effect without any other effort.

Commonly we talk about WordPress for CSS stuffs on this website. Although such example of CSS can be used for any kind of website. Our oldest guide on Drop Caps CSS is more better to read by a newbie. The usage of the linked guide of CSS in practice is not recommended today anymore. Among the other guides, Drop Caps in WordPress Without Plugin is quite recent, so as Drop Caps Without HTML Markup With jQuery Plugin or CSS3. jQuery Plugin for Drop Caps is not exactly great, although Adobe has beautiful open source interactive demo page :

Drop Caps CSS Update : W3C Draft, Oct 2016

 

Previously, we were using this method :

Vim
1
2
.entry-content>p:nth-of-type(1):first-letter
{color:#111;float:left;font-size:3.4em;line-height:0.6em;margin:0.2em 0.2em 0.05em 0px}

Now, we can use :

Vim
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

p:nth-of-type(1):first-letter {
color: #17A8E3;
font-family: Cochin;
font-weight: bold;
float:left;
font-size:3.4em;
line-height:0.7em;
margin:0.1em 0.1em 0.05em 0px;}
p:nth-of-type(1):first-child:first-line {
color: #17A8E3;
font-size:1.7em;
line-height: 1.3em;
margin:0.1em 0.1em 0.025em 0px;
}
p:first-child {
  padding: 10px;
  color: #165A72;
  position: relative;
  font-size:1.3em;
  line-height: 1.6em;
}

first-child is the first paragraph marked with p div class, first-child:first-line is the first sentence visible in that paragraph and first-letter is the first letter we want to make drop caps effect. In case of WordPress, we need to mark them with the name of the div of post, like entry-content (for Genesis theme) :

Vim
1
.entry-content>p:nth-of-type(1):first-letter

Here is a working demo :
