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, demo-fr.pdf (in French),
demo-de.pdf (in German) or demo-lua.pdf in the doc directory,
to see how different layouts for dropped capitals can be achieved.
You can also play with the source files 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.

License
-------

Released under the LaTeX Project Public License v1.3 or later
See http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt
for the details of that license.

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

This bundle is included in most TeX distributions, but if you need
to install it by yourself
1. run lualatex on lettrine.dtx to get the documentation (lettrine.pdf);
2. run luatex on lettrine.ins to strip the comments and create
   lettrine.sty and lettrine.cfg;
3. run luatex on contrib.dtx to produce the *.cfl files.

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

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

Files *.dtx, *.ins go to a source directory, typically
$TEXMF/source/latex/lettrine
