Summary description: Enlarged initials for the first entries of index letter groups

Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------

firstindexletter is a LaTeX package for visually emphasizing the first item of each index letter group by enlarging its initial letter.

The package is intended primarily for indexes generated with xindy/texindy. It works at LaTeX macro level: instead of modifying the generated .ind file, it hooks into the index environment and formats the first entry of each effective letter group.

The package provides configurable initial size, font family and color, simple optical kerning adjustments for selected initial-letter pairs, and support for Hungarian multi-character initials such as Cs, Gy, Ly, Ny, Sz, Ty and Zs, with configurable handling of Dz and Dzs.

Initial CTAN release.
