The Lettrine bundle
===================

Description
-----------

This package is meant for typesetting dropped capitals in LaTeX documents.

Documentation
-------------

Have a look at one of the PDF files, lettrine-demo-fr.pdf (in French),
lettrine-demo-de.pdf (in German) or lettrine-demo-lua.pdf in the doc
directory, to see different layouts for dropped capitals.
You can also play with the source files lettrine-demo-*.tex.

Have a look at lettrine.pdf in the doc directory, if you are interested
in the complete documentation and code.

If you wish, you can customize lettrine.cfg according to your needs.

-------

Installation
------------

This bundle is included in most TeX distributions, but if you need
to install it by yourself
1. run luatex on lettrine.dtx to strip the comments and create
   lettrine.sty and lettrine.cfg;
2. move all the files to the `right' place:

Files lettrine.sty, lettrine.cfg, lettrine-*.sty and *.cfl go to to
a directory searched by TeX, typically $TEXMF/tex/latex/lettrine.

Files README, lettrine-demo*, lettrine.pdf go to a doc directory,
typically $TEXMF/doc/latex/lettrine.

Files lettrine.dtx goes to a source directory, typically
$TEXMF/source/latex/lettrine
