% \section{Introduction}
%
% The file \file{\filename}\footnote{The file described in this
% section has version number \fileversion\ and was last revised on
% \filedate.}, provides a command |\lettrine| which requires two
% mandatory arguments, and an optional one.
%
% Adding |\usepackage{lettrine}| in the preamble of a document
% defines the command |\lettrine|, the simplest use of which is
% |\lettrine{|\emph{$<$letter$>$}|}{|\emph{$<$text$>$}|}|.
% It produces a dropped capital \emph{$<$letter$>$} (2 lines high),
% followed by \emph{$<$text$>$} typeset in small caps, and the rest
% of the paragraph is wrapped around the dropped capital.
%
% Various parameters are provided to control the size and layout
% of the dropped capital and match the requirements described
% in the books
% \begin{itemize}
% \item ``Lexique des r\`egles typographiques en usage \`a
% l'Imprimerie nationale'' troisi\`eme \'edition (1994),
% ISBN-2-11-081075-0,
% \item ``Mise en page et impression'' Yves~\textsc{Perrousseaux},
% ISBN-2-911220-01-3.
% \end{itemize}
% The parameters can be set using David Carlisle's
% \texttt{keyval.sty} syntax:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item |lines=|\emph{$<$integer$>$} sets how many lines the
% dropped capital will occupy (default=2);
% \item |lhang=|\emph{$<$decimal$>$} ($0\le|lhang|\le1$) sets
% how much of the dropped capital's width should hang into
% the margin (default=0);
% \item |loversize=|\emph{$<$decimal$>$} ($-1<|loversize|\le1$)
% enlarges the dropped capital's height: with
% |loversize=0.1| its height is enlarged by 10\% so that
% it raises above the top paragraph's line (default=0);
% \item |lraise=|\emph{$<$decimal$>$} does not affect the dropped
% capital's height, but moves it up (if positive),
% down (if negative); useful with capitals like |J| or |Q|
% which have a positive depth, (default=0);
% \item |findent=|\emph{$<$dimen$>$} (positive or negative)
% controls the horizontal gap between the dropped capital
% and the indented block of text (default=0pt);
% \item |nindent=|\emph{$<$dimen$>$} shifts all indented lines,
% starting from the second one, horizontally by
% \emph{$<$dimen$>$} (this shift is relative to the first
% line, default=0.5em);
% \item |slope=|\emph{$<$dimen$>$} can be used with dropped
% capitals like |A| or |V| to add \emph{$<$dimen$>$}
% (positive or negative) to the indentation of each line
% starting from the third one (no effect if |lines=2|,
% default=0pt);
% \item |ante=|\emph{$<$text$>$} can be used to typeset
% \emph{$<$text$>$} \emph{before} the dropped capital
% (typical use is for French guillemets starting
% the paragraph).
%
% \changes{lettrine-1.6}{2004/05/22}{Add a flag to switch to
% images in eps or pdf format. Suggested by Bill Jetzer.}
%
% \item |image=|\emph{$<$true$>$} (new to version 1.6) will force
% |\lettrine| to replace the letter normally used as
% dropped capital by an image in eps format (latex) or
% in pdf, jpg, etc.\ format (pdflatex); this needs the
% |graphicx| package to be loaded in the preamble of course.
% |\lettrine[image=true]{A}{n exemple}| or just
% |\lettrine[image]{A}{n exemple}| will load |A.eps|
% or |A.pdf| instead of letter~A. This was suggested
% by Bill Jetzer. Redefining \verb+\LettrineFont+ as
% \verb+\LettrineFontEPS+ still works for compatibility
% but is deprecated.
% \end{itemize}
%
% Example: |\lettrine[lines=4, lraise=0.1, nindent=0em, |%
% |slope=-.5em]%|\\
% \mbox{}\phantom{\tt Example: lettrine}%
% |{V}{oici} un exemple |\dots
%
% Coloured lettrines are possible in conjonction with package
% \file{color}, examples: |\lettrine{\textcolor{red}{A}}{n} example|
% \quad or\\ |\lettrine{\textcolor[gray]{0.5}{A}}{nother} one| \\
% see package \file{color} for the syntax of colour commands.
% Another possibility to colour lettrines globally is described
% below, see |\LettrineFontHook|.
%
% Once \file{lettrine.sty} will be installed (run \texttt{latex}
% on \file{lettrine.ins} to extract it), compile and print
% \file{demo.tex} to see the possible usage of these parameters.
%
% The default settings can be customized either in a config file
% \file{lettrine.cfg} (for a global usage), or on a per document
% basis, in the preamble of each document. The following list
% shows the syntax to set them and their default values:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item |\setcounter{DefaultLines}{2}|,
% \item |\renewcommand{\DefaultLoversize}{0}|,
% \item |\renewcommand{\DefaultLraise}{0}|,
% \item |\renewcommand{\DefaultLhang}{0}|,
% \item |\LettrineImagefalse|,
% \item |\setlength{\DefaultFindent}{0pt}|,
% \item |\setlength{\DefaultNindent}{0.5em}|,
% \item |\setlength{\DefaultSlope}{0pt}|.
% \end{itemize}
%
% Instead of giving optional parameters to the |\lettrine| command,
% it is possible, from version 1.5, to set them on a per character
% basis in a second config file (suggested by Pascal Kockaert):
% |\renewcommand{\DefaultOptionsFile}{|\textit{filename}|}|
% in the preamble (or anywhere in the document) will
% force each call to |\lettrine| to read the file \textit{filename}.
% See examples of such config files in the subdirectory
% \file{contrib}.
%
% The dimensional parameters |findent|, |nindent| and |slope|,
% can be set in \textit{filename} relative to |\LettrineWidth|
% if needed.
% |\LettrineWidth| should be used \emph{only} in the config file
% \textit{filename}, its value is non-null only if \textit{filename}
% is read!
% The settings read from this file will be overridden by the
% optional arguments eventually given to |\lettrine|.
%
% |\LettrineTextFont| sets the font used for the second argument
% of |\lettrine|, its default definition is
% |\newcommand{\LettrineTextFont}{\scshape}| (second argument in
% small caps, this can be changed using |\renewcommand|).
%
% |\LettrineFont| sets the font used for the dropped capital,
% usually the current font in a (large) size, computed
% automatically from the number of lines it will fill:
% the font size is computed so that, a \emph{standard} dropped
% capital (say X, not \`A) when sitting on its baseline, gets
% its top aligned with the top of the following text (provided
% $|loversize|=0$ and $|lines|\ge 2$). When $|lines|=1$,
% size is computed as if |lines| was~2.\\
% A hook |\LettrineFontHook| is provided to change the font
% used for the dropped capital, syntax follows \LaTeX{}'s
% low-level font interface (see \LaTeX{} Companion, p.187--192),
% the |\selectfont| command is issued by |\LettrineFont|:\\
% |\renewcommand{\LettrineFontHook}{\fontfamily{ppl}|\ignorespaces
% |\fontseries{bx}}%|\\
% | \fontshape{sl}}|,\\
% selects Palatino bold expanded slanted for the dropped capital.\\
% |\LettrineFontHook| can also be used to change the colour of
% all lettrines in a (part of) document:
% |\renewcommand{\LettrineFontHook}{\color[gray]{0.5}}| \\
% will colour the lettrines following this command in grey.
%
% \changes{lettrine-1.3}{2002/08/23}{Correct the documentation to
% mention the cm-super fonts and the type1ec package by
% Vladimir Volovich.}
%
% \vspace{\baselineskip}
% \textbf{Important notice:}
% the sizing works fine with \emph{fully scalable} fonts (like the
% standard PostScript fonts), but might not work well with CM/EC
% fonts which have two limitations: only a limited number of sizes
% is available by default (precise adjustments are impossible),
% and the largest size (25pt or 35pt) is often too small.
% The CM fonts are now available in PostScript type1 format for
% free (courtesy of BlueSky/Y\&Y), to make them fully scalable,
% it is mandatory to add |\usepackage{type1cm}| in the preamble
% of your document.
% The EC fonts are also available in type1 format for free
% (thanks to Vladimir Volovich, they are called cm-super), and
% adding |\usepackage{type1ec}|%
% \footnote{This package, available on CTAN, was first released
% on 2002/07/30.}
% in the preamble will make them fully scalable too.
% So, if you want \file{lettrine.sty} to work properly with CM
% or EC fonts, you will need \emph{PostScript versions} of these
% fonts \emph{and} one of the packages |type1cm.sty| or
% |type1ec.sty|.
%
% The LM fonts are a good replacement for both CM and EC fonts they
% are fully scalable, so you should use them instead of CM or EC
% fonts. |\usepackage{lmodern}| is the command to switch them on
% (add |\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}| when composing in one of the
% western languages other than English in order to get proper
% hyphenation).
%
% You can also consider using one of the standard PostScript fonts
% (Palatino, Times, Utopia\dots), or any OpenType font, they are
% fully scalable too!
%
% \vspace{\baselineskip}
% \textbf{Known problems:}
% \begin{itemize}
% \item nothing is done to prevent page-breaking in a paragraph
% starting with a dropped capital; when it happens to hang
% into the footer, page-breaking has to be done manually;
% \item |\lettrine| works within `quote' `quotation', `abstract'
% environments but does not work within `center' environments
% (except with option \texttt{[lines=1]});
% \item |\lettrine| does not work within lists;
% \item if a \emph{list} has to be included in a paragraph starting
% with a `lettrine', it is necessary to add the command
% |\parshape=0| just after the end of the list (starting a new
% paragraph just before or just after the list works too).
% Remember that `quote', `quotation', `abstract' environments
% are implemented as \emph{lists} in \LaTeX{}.
