How to have the First-Word First-Letter a bit bigger?

Hi,

I do not want a drop-cap.

I’m creating my CV with Typst and I’d like to have the section

TEACHING & MENTORING

with the first “T” a bit bigger than the rest of the text and bigger than the “M” of mentoring.

I tried ChatGPT and google but couldn’t come up with a solution.

Thanks a lot.

Are you looking for the function smallcaps? This requires all characters to be capitalized (which matches your edited requirements).

If only the first character should be capitalized, the solution would be a bit more complicated. You then have to slice the string and increase the font size of the first character compared to the rest of the string.

Hey, I think smallcaps is great, easy and basically does what I need.
Thanks a lot.
