fantasai has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-pseudo] Selecting first letter skiping punctuation == Johannes Odland wrote in https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2017Nov/0024.html : > Hi > > According to Selectors Level 3 the ::first-letter includes punctuation that precedes the first character. The example specifically shows a dropped cap with an opening quotation mark. > > Although there are no hard and fast rules for initial caps, it is a common typographical practice to style the punctuation different than the letter itself. The punctuation can hang in the margin, and be styled in the same font and font-size as the body text so that the initial letter is flush with other initial letters that does not have punctuation. > > In Norwegian typography it is considered bad practice not to leave the letter itself flush with the other letters. > > http://theworldsgreatestbook.com/book-design-part-6/ > http://www.typografi.org/dropcaps/initialer.html > http://www.typografi.org/dropcaps/assets/lite-sitattegn_714.jpg > > As the spec is now it is hard to achieve good drop caps. > > Should there be a way to select the initial-punctuation also?
