Use and Options

Use

Makes a drop capital for any letter(s) used for the single parameter. Example:
{{drop|T}}he drop-capital looks like this {{lorem ipsum}}.

Gives:

T

he drop-capital looks like this. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

Options

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