How to style individual letters

[slooshy]

Hi, Can anyone let me know if it is possible to style individual letters. So for example in the word 'welcome' the W would be big and curly?

Many thanks,

Slooshy

Wrap the letter(s) to be styled inside a span tag with an appropriate class.

The :first-letter pseudo element in CSS is fairly widely supported today, so you use it to pick that letter out, if you like.

Hello

Well if W is the first letter of a paragraph you can do:

<p class="first">Welcome to my site here is some text to tell you what it is about.</p>

p.first:first-letter {
  font-family:Georgia, Serif;
  font-size:1.1em;
  font-weight:bold;
}

If however it is just a random word in a paragraph than you could do:

<p>Here is some text to tell you what my site is about, <span class="first">W</span>elcome</p>

.first{
  font-family:Georgia, Serif;
  font-size:1.1em;
  font-weight:bold;
}

Hope it helps.

I would recommend span too.

I would go with span tags.
