CJK typography uses titles which are typeset fairly similarly to dropcaps, can be long, and can wrap lines. (The alignment is `initial-letters-align: ideographic border-box`.)  https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#d8e2717 Since the sizing of the heading is meant to be an integral number of lines, it feels that this could be achieve by `initial-letter` or something related to it, applied on the title after putting a `display: run-in` on it. And since such titles can wrap and span more lines, it initially made me think we wanted to handle line wrapping on `initial-letter` well enough to cope with that. However, trying to follow that approach runs into a bunch of difficulties, and I no longer thing that `initial-letter` is the right way to handle this. It seems to me that a combination of `float` and [`block-step`](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-rhythm/#block-step) is likely to be a more workable approach. Therefore, I don't think `initial-letter` has to handle this case, and we don't have to worry about it when deciding how line wrapping works. -- GitHub Notification of comment by frivoal Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2886#issuecomment-408364157 using your GitHub account
