Hello, concerning https://drafts.csswg.org/css-inline/#initial-letter-styling Could you include an example with starting punctuation in the draft, and show how you would address it? Thanks. For instance (using non-english punctuation, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillemet , with spaces ): <p>« M. French here has a problem » said the inner voice. English wasn't the writer's native language, so he struggled a bit. « Perhaps, answered the writer, but will they care? »</p> Some consideration around this can be found at http://theworldsgreatestbook.com/book-design-part-6/ , in the "Book Design: Initial Caps with Quotation Marks" part at the very end of the document (I'm not the author). Typically, I see that opening punctuation has no special style applied to it (it has the same style than the whole paragraph, not the style of the initial-letter). Hence, I have the impression there has to be a finer control over what's in the pseudo element. An ability to exclude the special characters from the pseudo-selection. Something like: "exclude-punctuation: none | left | right | both;" Best regards.
