Date: September 26, 2022 9:01:58 PM CEST
Daniel Flipo submitted an update to the
lettrine
package.
Version number: 2.30
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Typeset dropped capitals
Announcement text:
New (easier) way to enter the default settings: the lettrine package now accepts the same options as the \lettrine command; they set the default parameters for the document. For instance \usepackage[lines=3]{lettrine} overrides the corresponding lettrine.cfg setting and is equivalent to \setcounter{DefaultLines}{3}.
This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/lettrine More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/lettrine
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Erik Braun

lettrine – Typeset dropped capitals
The lettrine package supports various dropped capitals styles, typically those described in the French typographic books. In particular, it has facilities for the paragraph text’s left edge to follow the outline of capitals that have a regular shape (such as “A” and “V”).
