Summary | 0013582: Dropcap initial on ONE line only | ||||
Description | Paragraph style effects dont enable to create droped initial on ONE line. Droped initial ("Lettrines") are a style feature that enable to set a different style for the first letter of a paragraph. That letter can stand on 2 or more lines but can yet not stand on one line. Enable the droped initial on only one line enables to set its style to bold, or to another font or other possile layout choices. The issue is with the dialog that doesnt enable to input "1". | ||||

Drop caps on one line are not drop caps anymore. So i do not see why we should enable to input "1". |
|
Enabling to input 1 would enable to create paragraph styles with "sort of" drop caps on only one line. |
|
Maybe these one liners drop caps would be better labeled "styled initials" ? |
|
And what would be the *practical* use of that? |

I originaly posted that issue because i was asked for bold paragraph initials. Other possible styles are : Coloured, Other font, Different size but still one line, ... See http://www.magazinedesigning.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/drop-caps-initials-3.png The idea of dropcaps is to put some visual emphase on the begining letter(s) of a paragraph. For this emphase, the designer can choose to lay the letter(s) on 2 or more lines and use a dedicated style, as is possible with scribus, but it might be his choice, also, to have a dedicated style for the initial(s) but still keep it on one line. Sometime the letter is on more than one line, but on top of the first line, not below.
