0.0.1

• initial release.

• Text is paginated automatically to fit in the widget's layout size;
• Use any (or no) animation and controls you want; this package provides the controller and a widget with a builder, but you can also make your own custom widget;
• The first letter can be a drop cap that is automatically positioned and sized:
  • the actual letter height(s) (using the letter 'Z') of the cap and text fonts is/are computed and cached:
    • Flutter currently provides no internal means to get the actual letter height of a font, therefore it must be painted, converted to an image, and inspected for the top/bottom pixels of the 'Z';
    • The result is cached (once each run for each font family, weight, and style) as a ratio and used to compute the font size from the desired letter height;
    • NOTE: This method currently does not work well with gothic, handwriting, or calligraphic font types;
  • the baseline of the drop cap is aligned to the baseline of the nth line of text (configurable with capLines);
  • the top of the drop cap font is aligned to the top of the text font of the first line.
• Can parse inline markdown (DropCapText adopted from drop_cap_text)
• Breaks pages automatically.
