Re: Drop-cap with letterine

[John Kane]

Oh, good heavens, I knew I was missing something totally obvious. I never
noticed the paragraph environment!

I had not used leterine in over a year and clearly forgot everything I had
learned.

Thanks very much.

In the attached file, and an  old file, with \usepackage{letterine} in 
the preamble and the "initials" module loaded the Insert commands 
appear but faded out if I have the cursor in a paragraph with a drop-cap.


If I start a new paragraph the insert commands disappear from the 
Insert list.


However, both compile nicely.

In the minimum example I simply copied a drop-cap from my old file, 
probably produced with LyX 2.2.0 or 2.2.1


I am probably missing something basic but I don't have a clue where to 
look.


Thanks

I suspect the reason the insertion commands are disabled when the cursor 
is in the paragraph with the drop-cap is that the developers of the 
package didn't expect (and/or didn't want) you to try inserting a 
drop-cap mid-paragraph.


As for starting a new paragraph, the new paragraph will default to the 
Standard Environment. Switch it to the Initial environment using the 
environment selection list, and the insertion commands will reappear.

Drop-cap with letterine

[John Kane]

Can anyone suggest why I cannot insert a drop-cap in the attached file?

In the attached file, and an  old file, with \usepackage{letterine} in the
preamble and the "initials" module loaded the Insert commands appear but
faded out if I have the cursor in a paragraph with a drop-cap.

If I start a new paragraph the insert commands disappear from the Insert
list.

However, both compile nicely.

In the minimum example I simply copied a drop-cap from my old file,
probably produced with LyX 2.2.0 or 2.2.1

I am probably missing something basic but I don't have a clue where to look.

Thanks
