After reading PoP's post about his 2D Transforms tests support in KF8, I did some tests too and found out that KF8 actually supports the :first-letter selector even though the Kindle Publishing Guidelines say it doesn't
I used the following style to format the first letter of the first paragraph after the heading:
The :first-letter selector makes it easy to add dropcaps to ebooks with lots of chapters in them without having to mark the first letter of the paragraph. (KF8 also supports text-transform and text-shadow as my cheesy heading example demonstrates.)
tl:dr some CSS3 styles that have so far only been available in iBooks ePubs can also be used in KF8 books.
I used the following style to format the first letter of the first paragraph after the heading:
Code:
p:nth-child(2):first-letter {
font-family: sans-serif;
float: left;
font-size: 4em;
font-weight: bold;
margin-top: -0.2em;
margin-bottom: -0.2em;
margin-right: 5px;
color: red;
