 * Hi Kristine,
 * You need to use custom CSS to get the desired result.
 * Here is an example:
 *     ```
       font-size: 40px;
       margin-bottom: 5px;
       ```
   
 * You can add it to the custom CSS box and play with the number until you get the
   desired result.

   above is for a simple drop cap.
 * I like it to have 2 ligne depht or 3 and it need to be harmonius too with the
   rest of the text ( with the css you provide above my first line and second line
   are separated…
 * Thanks David

 * Hi David,
 * Here are some of the CSS attributes that you can play with to get desired effect.
   Please adjust it based on your needs.
 *     ```
       font-size: 40px;
       margin-top: 5px;
       margin-bottom: 5px;
       margin-right: 5px;
       margin-left: 5px;
       line-height: 40px;
       float: left/right/none;
       ```
   
 * The effect matches with the attributes’ name.
 * Hope it helps.
 * Mauris

 * Hi Mauris thanks
 * Indeed its not so simple it took me a while ( nearly 1 hour ) to get to something
   close from what i wanted, now i got 2 lines drop cap on lapop and 3 lines drop
   cap on cell phone, so not quite responsive, but nearly…if you work only on 1 
   device its easy and simple but otherwise its complicated …nevertheless its quite
   ok so i will try this for a while but i m kind of pixel perfect guy…and my customer
   i guess
 * Anyway this is my recipe for something slightly better :
 * font-size: 70px;
    margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-right: 15px; margin-
   left: 0px; line-height: 30px; float: left;
 * And those who wish to see it online its here :

 * Thanks for sharing you settings David! That’s why I provid custom HTML box in
   the plugin setting. It’s impossible to make the default settings match with all
   websites that use the plugin.
