Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-pseudo] Selecting first letter skipping punctuation

It is possible to omit the punctuation in some cases.
A coherent solution would be to hide the punctuation using css. 

Say that you create a stylesheet for feature articles. You want to control both how the drop-cap looks and how to handle the punctuation.  Leaving it up to writers/authors/journalist to remove the punctuation if there happens to be a drop cap is a fragile solution. If you decide to change the stylesheet later on you would have to go back and edit the content as well.

If you choose to hide or hang your punctuation, it should be possible to do so using css.
