Text inclusions, such as drop caps, lead lines, and subheads, should
exhibit some clear logic in their appearance. Drop caps should sit on a baseline three, four, five,

the first line or, alternatively, used to treat complete introductory phrases in a consistent way. A
subhead, when appearing at the top of one column, should be consistently aligned with the text in
columns preceding or following—optically.
