doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)

# Modify the "lines_to_drop" property to designate a paragraph as a drop cap,
# which will turn it into a large capital letter that will decorate the next paragraph.
# Give this property a value of 4 to give the drop cap the height of four text lines.
builder.paragraph_format.lines_to_drop = 4
builder.writeln("H")

# Reset the "lines_to_drop" property to 0 to turn the next paragraph into an ordinary paragraph.
# The text in this paragraph will wrap around the drop cap.

builder.writeln("ello world!")
