Drop caps and nested styles
There are two main ways to use Drop Caps and Nested Styles feature: to apply a character style to a drop cap or to
apply a nested style to text at the beginning of a paragraph.
Apply a character style to a drop cap
You can apply a character style to the drop-cap character or characters in a paragraph. For example, if you want a
drop-cap character to have a different color and font than the rest of the paragraph, you can define a character style
that has these attributes. Then you can either apply the character style directly to a paragraph, or you can nest the
character style in a paragraph style.
