This page is targeted at the supported CSS features in Amazon's KF8 format. They are likely to also work the same on ePub files.

[edit] Superscript CSS

For sup tag CSS that doesn't mess with the line height:

sup { font-size: 0.65em; line-height:0.65em; }

[edit] Nice Dropcap

For a dropcap that aligns nicely:

.dropcap {
  line-height: 100%;
  font-size: 341%;
  margin-right: 0.075em;
  margin-top:-0.22em;
  float:left;
  height:0.8em;
}
/* This works after an "L" as well. If you really want to finely tune, probably "L" and "J" should have some work done; I haven't done enough testing to make sure it works through font changes and font-size changes yet. */
span.afterA { margin-left: -0.5em; }
