%  \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 newly released LM fonts, which should replace both CM and
%    EC fonts sooner or later, are fully scalable, so, if you have
%    them installed, 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), 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{}.

%    Start a new paragraph, skipping the necessary amount of space

%    it into a `dimen' using |\@tempdima|.
