I'm writing something using article and I'm trying to make 1 letter big and have 2 lines directly next to it, like here: Example

How would I achieve so?

I tried the following code:

\lettrine[lines=2 ]{\textbf{A}}{}

but I need the letter A even bigger.

Thanks!

  • How can I create documents in LaTeX using a calligraphic first letter for chapters? might be interesting if this single letter is the first letter of the first word in this paragraph. – leandriis Mar 16 '20 at 19:06

    Try the lettrine package. – Peter Wilson Mar 16 '20 at 19:15
  • @leandriis I tried the code from the post you mentioned, but I want my letter to be even bigger. How do I make it even larger? – Ricardo Mar 16 '20 at 19:22
  • Welcome to TeX.SE! Please always provide MWE (Minimal working Example, a small complete document, which can be compiled as it is) ,which reproduce or illustrate your problem. Help us to help you! – Zarko Mar 16 '20 at 19:23
  • @PeterWilson Could you please give me a code example? I am already usng lettrine, but I failed to make it work. – Ricardo Mar 16 '20 at 19:23
  • @Ricardo - please provide more information about what you've tried so far with the lettrine package and its \lettrine macro. Statements such as "I am already using lettrine but I failed to make it work" are simply too vague to be actionable. – Mico Mar 16 '20 at 19:25
  • @Mico I edited my post with a code example. – Ricardo Mar 16 '20 at 19:29

    Is this big letter the first letter of a paragraph? Is text supposed to wrap below it or is it merely a label for several lines appearing to the right? A full example, beginning with \documentclass on what you have tried would go a long way to helping us to understand your actual request. – Steven B. Segletes Mar 16 '20 at 19:33
  • @Ricardo - If making the letter 2 lines tall isn't enough, is anything stopping you from writing \lettrine[lines=3]{\textbf{A}}{}? And if 3 still isn't enough, there's 4, 5, 6, and so on. – Mico Mar 16 '20 at 19:33
  • @Mico That's exactly what I tried but changing the number isn't making the letter any bigger. – Ricardo Mar 16 '20 at 19:42

    @Ricardo, since you still not provide MWE, we cant test your code and and confirm your result.. You left us to guessing what is going wrong at you :-(. – Zarko Mar 16 '20 at 20:02

    no an example should be something that starts \documentclass, ends \end{document} that shows the issue, you should be able to use lines, perhaps you need to add the fix-cm package (a wild guess on my part) but if you provided an example, we wouldn't need to guess. – David Carlisle Mar 16 '20 at 20:32
