Summary0011326: Future for dropcaps options
DescriptionSome options would be usefull :

1- Width of Dropcap, in case it is more than one letter wide.
It can be 1, 2 or more letters, or one word wide, or 2 words wide, or first sentence (all words before first ponctuation).
These options are commonly used in trendy magazines.
Some example here :

2- 1, 2 or more whole word(s) are uppercase after the dropcap. This is commonly used in nice books.

3- yes/no Dropcaps baseline is same as rest of the first line. In such a case, the dropcap goes up the paragraphe instead of going down into it. (This option exists in MS Publisher, but AMOF it seems to be rarely used.)

Beside, sometime the dropcaps are partly inside the paragraph (its baseline is below the baseline of the first line), partly outside.
