Capitalise first letter in paragraph

How do I capitalise the first letter in paragraph? Should it split the string into an array of objects?

A little more explanation on Dai Phong's answer:

You can capitalize the first letter in your paragraph by using what is called a pseudo-selector.

In Your case, You want to capitalize the first letter of Your paragraph, so by using the ::first-letter for your paragraph, You just have to write it down in Your stylesheet(css) selecting all paragraphs or a single one by applying either an ID or a Class to it.

For example, lets say this is your styles.css file:

p::first-letter {
        font-size: 3em;
        font-weight: bold
}

I hope I made it a bit more clear.

P.S> You should change the topic category from iOS to CSS.
