Magazine Style Drop Caps
Full instructions
for making the first letter big are in the Drop Cap copy and paste style tutorial.
For this one we forced the first big letter to span more than five lines.
The font-size is adjusted to exactly 100 pixels while the line height is 80 pixels.
You may want to try a line-height of 70 to control the white space.

drop down ever so slightly.
Copy and paste this in your page.
It will look like this.
