Future

The API for this package is likely to change radically in the foreseeable future. It was written with the intention of supporting arbitrary numbers of characters being displayed as a drop cap. However, the acceptance criteria for the feature we use this package for has since changed, and this presents the opportunity for simplifying the API. In the future, this package will simply have a toggle for displaying a drop cap, and will display the first character as a drop cap when it is enabled.
