[jQuery] Can jQuery create Drop Caps?

[jQuery] Can jQuery create Drop Caps?


I'd like to turn this:
<a href="#" class="tablink">Iconic Figures</a>
into this:
<a href="#" class="tablink"><span class="dropcap">I</span>conic <span
class="dropcap">F</span>igures</a>
Is there a way for jQuery to search and replace uppercase letters?
