下面是一个如何使用的示例lettrine
:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{libertine}
\usepackage{lettrine}
\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}
\setcounter{DefaultLines}{3}
\begin{document}
\lettrine[findent=3pt, nindent=0pt, ante=\rlap{\color{LightSalmon!50}\rule[-0.55\LettrineHeight]{\LettrineWidth}{0.65\LettrineHeight}} ]{I}{n} former days -- that is to say, once upon a time, there lived in the Land of Gramblamble, Seven Families. They lived by the side of the great Lake Pipple-popple (one of the Seven Families, indeed, lived in the Lake), and on the outskirts of the City of Tosh, which, excepting when it was quite dark, they could see plainly. The names of all these places you have probably heard of, and you have only not to look in your Geography books to find out all about them.
\end{document}
答案2
只是为了好玩,我尝试使用 tikz 和 hangindent(只有一个段落)。
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\newcommand{\bigletter}[2]% #1=number lines, #2=letter
{\sbox1{\resizebox{!}{\dimexpr #1\baselineskip-0.4\baselineskip}{#2}}%
\sbox0{%
\begin{tikzpicture}
\fill[red,opacity=.5] ({-0.5\wd1},{-0.3\ht1}) rectangle ({0.5\wd1},{.3\ht1});
\node[inner sep=0pt] {\usebox1};
\end{tikzpicture}}%
\hangindent=\dimexpr \wd0+2pt\relax
\hangafter=-#1
\noindent\llap{%
\raisebox{\dimexpr \baselineskip-#1\baselineskip}[0pt][0pt]{\usebox0}%
\hspace{2pt}}%
\strut\ignorespaces}
\begin{document}
