When using "Droplet" how can I stop a quotation mark from being Included in the dropcap?

[flaniginflag]

When using Droplet, if there is a quotation mark before the first letter both of them get enlarged. How would I make sure only the first letter be included in the dropcap not the quotation mark?

This is my current code.

#import "@preview/droplet:0.3.1": dropcap

#dropcap(height: 3em)[
"We
]

This outputs.

This would be my desired outcome.

Thanks for any help.

Would

‘#dropcap[W…]

work?

I haven’t tried, and I’m no where near my computer to try.

There could and should probably be a better way, but one solution is using the transform argument (which for some reason then also requires adjusting the top and bottom edge, so that the height is calculated correctly):

#dropcap(
  height: 2,
  top-edge: "cap-height",
  bottom-edge: "baseline",
  overhang: 0.5em,
  transform: it => grid(columns: 2, align: top,
    text(size: 11pt, it.children.first()),
    text(it.children.slice(1).join())
  ),
)["This ...]

Unfortunately, the font size has to be hard-coded here and cannot be retrieved from the context inside the transform function.
