Hmm, so no :first-letter on a <span>, since a <span> is not block-level. That sucks, but at least explains why my code isn't working. Thanks! Incidentally, it seems like I've seen it in various places online as :first-letter and in other places as ::first-letter. Does it matter if you use one colon or two? Why?
