dropcap

Dropcap is the first letter in the paragraph that is styled differently from all the other. You can make a letter into a dropcap by adding pseudo class :first-letter to needed element and creating specific css rules for it in your .css file. For example:

p:first-letter {
    font-size: 50px;
}

Also, you can put the first letter or a word of your text into an in-line HTML element like a span with special class and assigning the custom styles for it in your .css file afterwards.

For example:

HTML:

<span class="cap">C</span>reating a Dropcap!

CSS:

.cap {
    font-size: 50px;
}
