This diagram illustrates a drop cap layout using the :first-letter pseudo-class. However, unlike the previous diagram, the text begins with punctuation. There are 5 lines of text. The first line begins with a large double quote mark (") followed by a large, italic capital "A" that spans three lines. The rest of the text flows around the '"A': the first three lines lie to its right and the last two below it (aligned with the left side of the double quote mark). ...
