If the initial letter is in-flow is the layout in figure 15 possible? I thought that affecting the line boxes of a subsequent paragraph was part of the motivation for defining an initial letter as out of flow. On the background question, I think in some cases you'd want the background color of the paragraph to be applied to the initial letter, and in other cases you would not. I expect this could be handled whether or not the initial letter is in-flow by setting the background color of the initial letter to match or diverge. I've been using the concept of a "first in-flow line box" in line metrics discussions to define the first baseline of a paragraph - which is meant to exclude baselines from floats and initial letters. If we change initial letters to be in-flow, I'll have to come up with a different way to refer to that line box (which isn't an argument for or against making the change to initial letter, just noting more to do if we make the change). -- GitHub Notification of comment by astearns Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/743#issuecomment-263304222 using your GitHub account
