I know there’s CSS for the first letter of a post (magazine style, etc.), but wasn’t there also a way to make (for example) the first sentence bold, or a different colour?

I’m going to Google it myself, I’d just said I’d post it here should anyone else have the same idea… If I find anything I’ll post.

Heh – first result on Google brought up another forum where the response to a user was:

Quote:

You have two choices; you can either add an element around the first sentance using either Javascript or a server side language when used in conjunction with regex. Then the element that’s been created can by styled with CSS.

Fair enough. If I don’t want to use spans I have to use Javascript. Any idea’s there?

@admin – move to Javascript forum if you want.

You can do the first letter or the first line, but yeah, actually finding the full stop (period) where the first sentence ends is beyond the scope of css. http://www.w3schools.com/CSS/CSS_pseudo_elements.asp
