<!DOCTYPE html> <!-- See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2000Jan/0017.html and http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html#first-letter 'If the letters that would form the first-letter are not in the same element, such as "'T" in <p>'<em>T..., the UA may create a first-letter pseudo-element from one of the elements, both elements, or simply not create a pseudo-element.' So it's not necessarily a bug if this test fails, but I'm including it anyway to track whether the behaviour changes. The current behaviour at the time of creating the test is that only the first element is included in the pseudo-element. --> <html> <head> <style> span.fake-first-letter { color: red; } </style> </head> <body> <p><span class="fake-first-letter">[</span><a href="http://www.mozilla.org/">A link to mozilla.org</a> is the beginning of this paragraph.]</p> </body> </html>
