alt Hacker NewsToday I learned there's a CSS property for styling the first letter of a paragraph, neat. (https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/i/initial-letter/)
--edit: The font used for those initials is called Goudy Initialen: https://www.dafont.com/goudy-initialen.font
I love this -- I'll have to do something like that for my site. I always liked the big initials on the start of a paragraph. Though it feels a bit more prose-applicable than for non-fiction writing.
