Creates

A pseudo-element which contains the first letter of an element.

Description

This selector is used to set specific styles for the first letter of an element. If there are any punctuation characters before the actual first-letter, the styles will be applied to them too. Before CSS2.1 :first-letter could only be used for block-elements. CSS2.1 extends the selection to all elements with the display-values block, list-item, table-caption, table-cell and inline-block. The style-possibilities for first-letter are limited.
