Options

1. fs: font size for the capital, (default 400%), (pt,em,cm,ins,px, etc.)
2. lh: line height for the capital, (default 75%)
3. ff: font family for the capital, (default serif)

Issues

While previewing edit through the Preview tab of Extension:WikiEditor, if the drop letter is used as the first character on a page, the drop letter's base might not appear inline with the second line of text. In such a case, the drop letter would appear a little elevated from the base. However, this is just a preview bug, and the text will render correctly.
