hey Ron K
while you're on the topic of drop caps, just wanted to share this.
here's a very simple method i created, without any php or javascript- just
pure CSS- to get number-indicators in an OL to float like drop-caps. it
looks like this:

as you can see, it works perfectly in chrome and firefox, but of course IE 8
chokes on it- the floats work, but the OL numbers don't increment. i hope
somebody here can work out a fix!
keys to this method:
-don't put anything inside the LI's. they are empty. all content goes
after each closing LI.
-float the surrounding div, not the LI.
-the OL must specify decimal inside style.
.dropli {float: left; width: .7em; font-size: 8em; line-height: 83%; }
.dropcontent { margin-bottom:2em; }
ol { list-style: decimal inside; }
...
<ol> < div class="dropli"><li ></li></div>< div class="dropcontent">orem
ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer. </div>....</ol>
.......
