A NICE paragraph to start the experiment. Can we access stylistic alternates with CSS here? The drop cap only spans two lines. Think of other things to type. Let’s keep it upbeat. Red balloons are here. And a colorful xylophone. Or glockenspiel – whichever is the metal one. Did the drop cap get bigger with more lines of text? It shouldn’t. So it’s 2.5 ish lines big.
The world’s thy ship and not thy home.

So, the idea is to make a new paragraph and a class for a fancier and probably bigger drop cap. The current class is has-drop-cap
. So maybe make the new one has-fancy-drop-cap
. To the CSS editor!!! This paragraph needed a few more words to cover the drop cap. Hopefully a few more sentences will cover it. I can’t hear the cicadas anymore. I wonder why. Cicadas are pretty amazing, but I’m grateful they only turn up every few years.
The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of it’s scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.

Some flimsy reason to start another paragraph with a slightly different letter S. I’m crocheting a pentagonal face washer. It was going to be a Granny Square, but working the first round into a ring at the beginning gave me 15 stitches and I thought I could make a Tudor Rose out of it. Maybe I’ll publish a book of crochet motifs next. I wonder if there’s a LaTeX package for typesetting crochet diagrams.
THIS span way of working seems to line up the drop cap better – I’m using Chrome on an iMac just now, but will go check on Firefox on Linux soon. I wish the CEO of Firefox would apologise for firing that guy so I can stop boycotting them – though I guess it might be more ethical to use a fork like iceweasel. I think Seamonkey was a firefox fork too. The browser wars just kept getting more complicated.
