Adding dropped capital to posts in Cocoa theme

  • Unknown's avatar

    I am a complete novice at CSS and even the intro and basic instructions are leaving me shaking my head and questioning my ability with a computer! Can anyone please help me by explaining in layman’s terms how to add a dropped capital to the first word of each post in Cocoa theme?

    Thank you! Jan

  • Hi Jan,

    You don’t need to use CSS for this.

    Here’s the explanation from the theme’s setup page:

    Drop caps – To highlight a paragraph with a drop cap letter, you can wrap the first letter of the paragraph in a span tag with the CSS class dropcap.

    Here’s what that looks like:
    <span class="dropcap">F</span>irst letter

    So you’re basically wrapping some code around the first letter of your paragraph. In this case, you would replace the letter F with the letter that makes sense for your first word.
