It would make sense here > for the float to take the color of the ::first-line, wouldn't it? This is not quite the same, unless there's a span around that first letter. In particular, floats that are not inside an element on the first line do NOT get first-line styling in Gecko and Presto. They do in Webkit for the first-letter case, but not for a floated span (that is, Webkit treats floating first-letter specially, which makes some sense, because it's not really a float). I don't have IE8+ on hand right this second to test. -BorisReceived on Monday, 23 August 2010 23:54:11 UTC
