Hello,

5.12.2 The :first-letter pseudo-element
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html#first-letter

gives

...
  <TITLE>Drop cap initial letter</TITLE>
  <STYLE type="text/css">
   P              { font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.2 }
   P:first-letter { font-size: 200%; font-style: italic;
                    font-weight: bold; float: left }
   SPAN           { text-transform: uppercase }
  </STYLE>
 </HEAD>
 <BODY>
  <P><SPAN>The first</SPAN> few words of an article
    in The Economist.</P>
...

but after testing and comparing with screenshot
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/images/first-letter.png
font-style: italic;
should be removed.

s/font-size: 200%; font-style: italic;/font-size: 200%;/
