Description

Suppose a block container contains some inline content, in the middle of which there is a block-level element. This splits its content into three parts, the first and third wrapped by anonymous blocks. Should 'initial-letter' apply to an inline appearing at the beginning of the third block?

If so, what about after a forced break?
