Usage

This template is for creating the "drop initial" effect that is common in both modern and antiquated typography:

Used with parameters {{dropinitial|L|2.4em|0em|.05em}} within a block of Times New Roman text.

To use

{{dropinitial| content | font-size | margin-top | margin-right | margin-bottom | margin-left | z-index=#}}.

Note that positional parameters 2 through 6, also have corresponding named parameters aligning with their function as shown in the above example.

The font-size parameter and margin value parameters should be specified with relative units, i.e. as a percent or in 'em' units.

The only necessary parameter is the first one (the initial). If no others are set, the defaults are:

• font-size = 3em
• margin-right = .1em

Which should produce a drop initial approximately the height of two lines in the current Wikisource default font:

{{dropinitial|L}}{{Small-caps|orem}} ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa. Cum sociis 
natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Donec quam felis, ultricies nec, pellentesque eu, pretium 
quis, sem. Nulla consequat massa quis enim. Donec pede justo, fringilla vel, aliquet nec, vulputate eget, arcu. In enim justo, 
rhoncus ut, imperdiet a, venenatis vitae, justo.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Donec quam felis, ultricies nec, pellentesque eu, pretium quis, sem. Nulla consequat massa quis enim. Donec pede justo, fringilla vel, aliquet nec, vulputate eget, arcu. In enim justo, rhoncus ut, imperdiet a, venenatis vitae, justo.

Notes :

Dropped initials are typically used with small capitals for the other letters of the word starting with this initial. See {{Small-caps}}.

Fonts can be rendered slightly differently in different browsers and on different operating systems. You may wish to check your work in Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera, Windows Internet Explorer or other web browsers on different computers to ensure that the text wraps around the initial in the way you expect it to if you are not using the default values.

Using images

You can use the {{{image}}} parameter and the text in parameter {{{1}}} will be the alt text. If this is not provided, the page will be added to Category:Dropinitials with image but no alt text. Use {{{imgsize}}} for the image size (this has to end in "px").

You can also use an image as the contents in {{{1}}}. When doing this,you must set the "alt" attribute to the letter in question. This allows people with text readers to see the text, and allows the text to be copied properly.

Use with quotes

Occasionally these works will have a quote (") that appears with the drop initial. The means to handle this is like using the {{{fl}}} parameter:

{{Dropinitial|P|fl="}} gives:

"P

Text indent

If you need to set a text indent, use the {{{text-indent}}} parameter. Generally, drop initials have zero indent, even if "normal" paragraphs have them, and this is therefore the default.

Contoh

{{dropinitial|L|text-indent=2em}}{{lorem ipsum}}

{{dropinitial|L|fl="|text-indent=2em}}{{lorem ipsum}}

LLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Donec quam felis, ultricies nec, pellentesque eu, pretium quis, sem. Nulla consequat massa quis enim. Donec pede justo, fringilla vel, aliquet nec, vulputate eget, arcu. In enim justo, rhoncus ut, imperdiet a, venenatis vitae, justo.

Use within a list

When using a drop initial within a list, an adjustment will need to be made from

* {{dropinitial|I}}Tem
* Item 2 
* Item 3

• ITem
• Item 2
• Item 3

to the following,

* [[Example link|{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|I}}Tem]] 
* <li style="position:relative; left:1em; margin-left:-1em;">Item 2 
* Item 3

Otherwise the list marker will overlap the bottom of the Drop initial. The values needed will vary depending on the size of the Dropinitial, and content immediately preceding it in a list item.

• ITem
• Item 2
• Item 3

Typography notes

If you simply need to have an enlarged initial in a text, which is not dropped below the baseline, use the template {{largeinitial}}:

Lorem ipsum sit amet...

Technical notes

This template simply generates a left-floated span (w/style display: block;) containing content with the proper CSS styles applied to it. Unfortunately the CSS 3 styles specifically directed at formatting drop initials are implemented only in Safari at this point (see this documentation at MDN Web Docs). In planning for the future this template applies a class "dropinitial" to the output span.

As a floated element, this template may interact with other floated elements in an manner which editors may not expect, especially if they are unfamiliar with CSS float positioning. In such cases, the following may be useful:

• Use of the fl parameter
• Careful use of {{float left/s}} to consolidate preceding floated blocks into a single container.
• Asking for assistance at WS:Scriptorium/Help

Tracking categories

• Category:Dropinitials with image (only tracks users of {{{image}}} parameter)
• Category:Dropinitials with image in parameter 1 (only images not in the {{{image}}} parameter)
• Category:Dropinitials with image but no alt text
• Category:Dropinitials with no initial
• Category:Dropinitials using font-size
• Category:Dropinitials using margin-top
• Category:Dropinitials using margin-right
• Category:Dropinitials using margin-bottom
• Category:Dropinitials using margin-left
• Category:Dropinitials using text-indent
• Category:Dropinitials using fl
• Category:Dropinitials using z-index
• Category:Dropinitials using fontfam
