Using :first-letter in an inline style

Hi,

Let's say I have a paragraph that's using inline styles, like this:

<p style="float: left; width: 50%;">
blah blah blah
</p>

Does anybody know how (or even if it's possible) to use something like
:first-line or :first-letter in an inline fashion?

Since pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements must be appended to the selector,
it cannot work inline. You could, however, class the p "foo" and put in
the style element:

p.foo:first-letter {color: red;}
