如何拼出那个“F”。我也在使用这个multicol包
答案1
您可以使用该包lettrine来完成这项工作。
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{newtxtext} % you want true small caps
\usepackage{lettrine}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Beginning}
\lettrine{F}{ew would quarrel} about the correct way to break boiled
eggs, but, as you probably know, there was even a civil war caused
by this very important question in the island of Lilliput. You may
also know that computer scientists took the names \emph{big-endian}
and \emph{little-endian} from Swift's `Gulliver's travels'.
\end{document}
但你似乎想要一个稍微不同的输出，莱特林（法语中意为“首字下沉”）向上突出。如果你输入
\lettrine[loversize=0.5]{F}{ew would quarrel}
那么输出将是
但不需要loversize=0.5每次都添加。只需在文档前言中添加适当的设置即可。
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{newtxtext} % you want true small caps
\usepackage{lettrine}
% lettrine settings
\renewcommand*{\DefaultLoversize}{0.5}
%%%
\begin{document}
\chapter{Beginning}
\lettrine{F}{ew would quarrel} about the correct way to break boiled
eggs, but, as you probably know, there was even a civil war caused
by this very important question in the island of Lilliput. You may
also know that computer scientists took the names \emph{big-endian}
and \emph{little-endian} from Swift's `Gulliver's travels'.
\end{document}
个人观点：我永远不会使用首字下沉和次。
答案2
注：参见“使用 LaTeX 排版删除大写字母“ 也可以看看 ”如何增加章节中第一个字符的大小（Drop-Caps）“
我已经使用 lettrine 包有一段时间了：
我通过一个简单的定义使 lettrine 包可用：
%___________ Define \plett ____________
\makeatletter
\def\plett#1{%
\StrLeft{#1}{1}[\myfirstletter]%
\StrGobbleLeft{#1}{1}[\myrestofword]
\lettrine[lines=3]{\myfirstletter}{\trimright{\myrestofword}}
}
\makeatother
我发现，[lines=3]例如，下沉大写字母的高度和行数可以满足我的大部分需求，而且可以轻松调整。
如何应用\plett代码的典型示例是：
\plett{Fire can exist} in many forms. Over the course of human history, we have utilized fire in it’s many likenesses to accomplish what we otherwise could not. \par
为了增加效果，我调整了初始字符的颜色，如下所示：
\renewcommand{\LettrineFontHook}{\color{BrickRed}} % See LaTeX/Colors
我将 BrickRed 定义为：
\definecolor{BrickRed}{RGB}{144,44,30}
最后，我添加了\trimright函数（来自 SE发帖) 在函数中调用\plett（参见 MWE 中的“定义 \trimleft & \trimright”）。
