Summary description: Typeset dropped capitals
Announcement text:
- The `\lettrine` command now checks whether the dropped cap will fit into the page. If the remaining vertical space is too short, a warning is issued. - A new option `nextpage` has been added to automatically shift the whole paragraph to the top of next page in case the dropped cap doesn't fit into the page (option not recommended, see the documentation).

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”).
