-—those large capital letters which begin each new chapter or section.
- Implementing them with plain LyX/LaTeX is straightforward (assuming you
- know some plain TeX!) but does require a lot of work and many iterations,
- as you can see by all the ugly TeX-mode stuff at the beginning of this
- paragraph.

-here is a much easier way of doing this, of course.
- The
-\family typewriter
-dropcaps
-\family default
- (or the newer
-\family typewriter
-dropping
-\family default
-) package from CTAN allows a simple way to add such letters to your documents.
- Since this package is not a standard part of TeXLive, I can't demonstrate
- it within this document, but if you copy this paragraph to a new document,
- delete the
-\begin_inset Quotes eld

-

-\begin_inset Quotes erd

- and the pluses from the TeX code at the beginning of the paragraph, and
- add
-\family typewriter
-
-\backslash
-usepackage{dropcaps}
-\family default
- to your LaTeX preamble, you will get a nice Times Roman Italic

-, whose height is three lines of text and which protrudes 1 em into the

- into a directory where TeX can see it.) The first argument is the amount
- of indentation; in this case the negative sign moves it into the margin.
- The second argument is the height of the letter in number of lines of text.
- The third argument is the font name: virtually anything which has a tfm
- file should work (wade through the
-\family typewriter
-.../texmf/fonts/tfm
-\family default
- directory for possibilities).
- My personal favorite is

-, a fancy German font specifically designed for dropped capitals.
- The fourth argument is the letter (or letters) to be dropped.
- The
-\family typewriter

-\family default
- package also offers the
-\family typewriter

-bigdrop
