[NTG-context] enhancing documentation: initials
Hi, I tried to figure out what the "method" parameter of \setupinitial
does – it changes the handling of quotation marks at the beginning of
the text. It’s defined in context/base/mkiv/typo-drp.lua
But I found no difference between first, last, and none; just "auto"
includes the mark in the initial, and it works only with a few
languages, e.g. English and French, but not e.g. German or Dutch:
"""
\mainlanguage[de]
\setuppapersize[A6]
\setupinitial[n=2,color=orange,]
\starttext
\start
\setupinitial[method=first]
\placeinitial \quotation{Keine andere Kunst hat mehr Berechtigung, ihren
Blick auf die zukünftigen Jahrhunderte zu richten als die
Typographie.}\wordright{Giambattista Bodoni}
\stop
\start
\setupinitial[method=last]
\placeinitial \quotation{Nationalökonomie ist, wenn die Leute sich
wundern, warum sie kein Geld haben.}\wordright{Kurt Tucholsky}
\stop
\start
\setupinitial[method=auto]
\placeinitial \quotation{Der Mensch wird auf natürlichem Wege

Re: [NTG-context] Protect the lettrine
Thanks Hans.
I've updated the wiki. I'm wondering if there's a way to also control the
indenting? Max's solution removed any indenting, allowing the text for the
second paragraph to be flush. It looks a little strange to see text
indented next to a drop-cap. The test case is the same, but with the
addition of an indenting setup:
% SOT
\setupinitial[n=2, continue=yes]
\setupindenting[medium, yes]
\setuphead[chapter][
after={\placeinitial},
page=no,
]
\starttext
\chapter{one}
Kermit Ruffins
Meet me at the second line.
\chapter{two}
\input knuth
Meet me at the second line.
\stoptext
% EOT
This produces an unintended side-effect, as well, whereby the following
chapter heading is indented.
See https://i.ibb.co/n8cMkM9/unintended-indented.png
Cheers!

Hi Dave,
How would you instruct ConTeXt to "protect" the lettrine such that
regardless of whether the first paragraph spans multiple lines, a short
first paragraph will still prevent the second paragraph from overlapping
the lettrine?
Here's the output I'm looking to achieve:
https://i.stack.imgur.com/XeZQS.png
Note how the second line honours the lettrine's width and padding, in the
same way that the second line of the first paragraph in Knuth's quote
respects the width and padding.
Here's a questionable Lua-based solution:
\startluacode
userdata.hangindent = 0
function userdata.post_lettrine(head)
nodes.tasks.disableaction("finalizers", "userdata.post_lettrine")
if tex.prevgraf < math.abs(tex.hangafter) then
userdata.hangindent = tex.hangindent
nodes.tasks.enableaction("processors", "userdata.next_par")
end
return head
end
nodes.tasks.appendaction("finalizers", "before", "userdata.post_lettrine")
nodes.tasks.disableaction("finalizers", "userdata.post_lettrine")
function userdata.next_par(head)
nodes.tasks.disableaction("processors", "userdata.next_par")
if head.next.id == node.id("glue") and
head.next.subtype == 20
then
head.next.width = userdata.hangindent
end
return head
end
nodes.tasks.appendaction("processors", "before", "userdata.next_par")
nodes.tasks.disableaction("processors", "userdata.next_par")
local default = typesetters.initials.actions.default
function typesetters.initials.actions.default(...)
nodes.tasks.enableaction("finalizers", "userdata.post_lettrine")
return default(...)
end
\stopluacode
\setupinitial[n=2]
[...]
Normally manipulating nodes inside the callbacks is the wrong way to do
something, but in this case, that's exactly how the standard initial
code works.
We need to modify the "default" alternative since "\setupinitial"
provides no way for us to set a different alternative. A better solution
would be to provide a new alternative so we wouldn't need to make
questionable overrides to the base code.
Indeed, and it might also sort of fragile due to the prevgraf although
we can assume sane usage. All this stuff is also a bit order sensitive.
I'll added this:
\setupinitial[n=2,continue=yes]
But I'll also cheat a bit by adding a prevdepth field to the parstate
that remembers the previous one (as it gets lost otherwise).

Never heard of it (keenwrite), but your request is indeed, valid all along.
I haven't checked the code that lmtx uses but by just looking at the bare
macros, it seems as if `\forgetplaceinitial` is limited in what it can
and can't do. I think it's reasonable the way it was implemented but
nevertheless this is something that ought to be looked at rather than
ignore it or put aside for later
I didn't see the video, it's distracting, but as I said, is a valid
request on your part
Perhaps `\setuphead` can have such of a feature in the future — that
of different settings for different chapters, and if one exists now,
I'm just simply unaware of, but either way, you're dealing mainly
here with a table and tabskips and whatnot. It seems that there's one
feature for subsubsections, written in lua, but this is entirely different
Even with something as the following I just wouldn't know how to specify
it to apply it concurrently for each particular chapter thereafter and
dissuade it from subsequently applying it to where not otherwise. I just
don't know.
\setuphead[chapter][
after={\placeinitial\vbox to 1cm{\relax {K{\hskip 2pt \lower 5pt \hbox{ermit
MUffins \vbox to -0.055cm {\hskip -2.8cm \raise 1pt \hbox{meet me at the second

Re: [NTG-context] Protect the lettrine
Thank you for taking the time to reply, linguafalsa, I appreciate it.
The source document is written in Markdown using KeenWrite, my Markdown
editor. Inserting typesetting instructions into the document would defeat
the software's architecture, hence being untenable. After the Markdown is
transformed into XHTML, a specific theme instructs ConTeXt how to typeset
the XHTML.
Here's a video showing how theme selection works:
https://youtu.be/3QpX70O5S30?list=PLB-WIt1cZYLm1MMx2FBG9KWzPIoWZMKu_=14
I hope this explains the situation more clearly about why changing the code
between \starttext and \stoptext isn't an option, as you've done with
introducing and using a macro.

Yeah yeah yeah, tenable. A lot of things aren't tenable. Anyhow,
What source document are you talking about here?
You're already sourcing the lines after chapter one. As a matter of
fact, if you weren't sourcing, then you'd have zilch, nada, zero, empty,
null, void, an space, a separation, an abstract
Just define Kermit Muffins and it should be good to go
\setupinitial[n=2]
\def\KermitMuffins{\vbox{Kermit Muffins\par\hskip 1.3cm \tfd Meet me at
the second line}}
\setuphead[chapter][
after={\placeinitial},
page=no,
]
\starttext
\chapter{one}
\KermitMuffins
\chapter{two}
\input knuth
Meet me at the second line.

Re: [NTG-context] Protect the lettrine
Here's the output I'm looking to achieve:
https://i.stack.imgur.com/XeZQS.png
Note how the second line honours the lettrine's width and padding, in the
same way that the second line of the first paragraph in Knuth's quote
respects the width and padding.

Re: [NTG-context] Protect the lettrine
Thanks Otared,
Unfortunately, that's adding content between \starttext and \stoptext,
which isn't tenable in my situation. The user is writing in Markdown, which
is automatically converted to XHTML then passed to ConTeXt, and so the
setups need to account for this scenario without modifying the source
document.
Cheers!

Re: [NTG-context] Protect the lettrine
Hi,
Adding \hfill\break to the short line solves the issue, but probably there is a
better way to achieve the correct result.
\setupinitial[n=2]
\setuphead[chapter][
after={\placeinitial},

[NTG-context] Protect the lettrine
I'm using KeenWrite Themes (specifically, Boschet) to typeset a chapter
wherein the first letter is a lettrine. When the first paragraph is too
short, the second paragraph overlaps the lettrine.

How would you instruct ConTeXt to "protect" the lettrine such that
regardless of whether the first paragraph spans multiple lines, a short
first paragraph will still prevent the second paragraph from overlapping
the lettrine?
That is, the setups should work in both cases, without any knowledge about
the first paragraph length being added between \starttext and \stoptext.

Re: [NTG-context] Page breaks with \defineparagraphs possible?
Hi Wolfgang,
You can use the tabulate environment to create parallel paragraphs.
Just one thing for others, this solution as the same problem as
paragraphs: \placeinitial won't work.
I.e. this:
\setupinitial[text=#1]\placeinitial
inside the tabulate or paragraphs doesn't work (but here I simply use
a \hbox{\vbox{}\hfil\vbox{}} solution which works well enough I think,
as I only need this for the opening paragraph.

Hi Geert,
this works for me:
\definefont[InitialCapFont][name:antpoltcondregular*default sa 4]
%\setupinitial[style={\switchtobodyfont[helvetica]}]
\setupinitial[color=red,distance=6pt,n=3, style=\InitialCapFont]
\starttext
\setinitial\input zapf
\stoptext
BTW, I think there is an issue (that might be a bug), when either style
or font are in use, size is not automatically adapted.
Could anyone confirm with the commented line?

Pablo

Re: [NTG-context] Lettrine module not working?!
Hi,
Yes Hraban it works outside in normal text flow. When I do e.g.
*{\InitialCapFont test in normal text flow}* the text '/test in normal
text flow/' is rendered correctly in the Antykwa-Poltawskiego font.
Found out that the following does work with the *\placeinitial* command:
*\setupinitial[color=MyColor,distance=6pt,n=3,font=name:antpoltcondregular*default
sa 4]*
So something weird is happening I suppose!

Re: [NTG-context] Lettrine module not working?!
In mkiv and mkxl, we use
\placeinitial
rather than the obsolete (mkii) lettrine module.
See also \setupinitial.

[NTG-context] \setupinitial: style Parameter resets size
Hi, since the lettrine module does not work with LMTX, I’ve looked into \setupinitial. (There is a different thread about this.) There is a „style“ parameter to change the style, but whenever I change the style, the font size is reset. This is not what I expected. This was the case in context before LMTX, thus it is not a regression. % !TEX TS-program = ConTeXt (LuaTeX LMTX2021) % !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode \starttext \setupinitial[color=red] \start \setupinitial[n=2,m=1] \placeinitial\input ward \stop \start \setupinitial[style=\tf,n=2,m=1] \placeinitial\input ward \stop \start \setupinitial[font=Roman at 32 pt,n=2,m=1] \placeinitial\input ward \stop \start \setupinitial[style=\it,n=2,m=1] \placeinitial\input ward \stop \start \setupinitial[font=Italic at 32 pt,n=2,m=1] \placeinitial\input ward \stop \start \setupinitial[style=\it,font=Italic at 32 pt,n=2,m=1] \placeinitial\input ward \stop \stoptext Are my expectations wrong?

Hi Nicola,
Thanks. This solves the indentation of the initial itself. What remains is the
indentation of the text immediately after, e.g. the 'uppose we’. Minimum
example (also visible in your example):
% This combination of indenting and initial does not work properly, the text
following the initial should be unindented
\definemeasure[CAindent][12pt]
\setupindenting[yes,\measure{CAindent}]
% Every chapter body text starts with a drop cap:
\defineinitial[normal][n=3,m=1,hoffset=\measure{CAindent},state=start]
\starttext
\setinitial[normal] S {\bf{\kap uppose we}} have a system for the approval of
loans. \input knuth
\stoptext
%%%%
The ‘uppose we’ should not be indented more than the lines directly

I was sure that I had used lettrine with MKIV in a document of mine, but
after your reply I double checked that and, in fact, I was using
lettrine only with MKII. On the plus side, I have recovered my settings
for MKIV (which work with LMTX as well).
I think that the `distance` parameter of \setupinitials does what you
want. Besides, if your font provides real small capitals, you may use
\definefirstline.
This is how I set up things in one of my documents:

% Special case: drop cap starting with a quote
\defineinitial[quote][
n=3,

hoffset=5pt, % Move drop cap a bit to the left

]
% Some initials may need special adjustments, depending on the font

% First n words in small caps (three in this case)
\definefirstline[smallcapsfirstlinethree][

[NTG-context] drop cap (initial) and indentation
With the following minimal example:
\definemeasure[CAindent][12pt]
% Every chapter body text starts with a drop cap:

\setupindenting[yes,\measure{CAindent}]

both the initial and the bold stuff after it is indented. With hoffset I can
move the initial, but not what comes after. I have been experimenting but
haven’t found a way to solve this.

all is possible but in a complex system with lots of possible

I'll provide

[NTG-context] distance parameter of \setupinitial
Hi,
I’d like an initial in front of the text block.
It works more or less, but I find the behaviour of the distance parameter
confusing:
If I set it to -1em (like in the MWE below), the text lines get indented a bit
on the right side.
With somewhat bigger values, the indent disappears, but the initial is moved to
the left.
But the initial should nearly touch the first characters, and the text lines
should be full width.
The behavior is the same with (latest) MkIV and LMTX.
Is there a misunderstanding of the parameters on my side, or is this a bug?
\setupinitial[
distance=-1em,
n=2,
hoffset=1em,
]

So, what \forgetparagraphfreezing does is to reverse the order that
lmtx currently imposes by default, right? In other words,
\forgetparagraphfreezing, recovers the default behaviour of MkIV.
So, I suspect that this will not change; if we want to apply
Lettrine to a paragraph, from now on we must wrap it up with
\forgetparagraphfreezing and \setparagraphfreezing.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
LMTX removes some restrictions for settings which are applies to
paragraphs, e.g. the following example works now without problems
with LMTX while LuaTeX needs the \dontleavehmode at the begin of the
paragraph
\starttext
\placefigure[left]{none}{\framed[width=2cm,height=2cm]{}}
%\dontleavehmode
{\bf Tufte: }\input tufte
\stoptext
To avoid side effects from these changes LMTX freezes a few settings
at the begin of the paragraph. In some cases commands or settings
have to be adapted to these changes and the lettrine module is one of
them.
The changes itself to the commands have to be made in the modules
etc. itself and not in the documents, below is a minimal example how
the lettrine module has to be changed to get indentation for the
initial back.

BTW: ConTeXt already provides a command to place initials as part of
the core but it lacks a few features of the lettrine module.

OK, I get it.
Oh, and yes, I knew about the \setupinitial command. Thanks for
pointing that out.

Hi Martin,
I guess initials make sense only when used inside a paragraph. It is
problematic when you have white space defined.
Having margin initials is also another approach. You may compare both
with the following sample:
\setupwhitespace[medium]
\setupinitial[location=margin]
\starttext
\placeinitial
Knuth writes:
\input knuth
\setupinitial[location=text]
\placeinitial
Knuth writes:\\
\input knuth
\stoptext
I hope it helps,
Pablo

[NTG-context] Issue with initial (new beta)
Dear all,
First of all, thanks for new beta. It fixes the initial feature (in previous
beta there were not typeset at all).
But while testing (a bit somewhat extreme example to push the limits) I came up
with some initial letter hanging in the footer (page 3). Not sure the issue is
linked with mixedcolumns but could not reproduce in plain vanilla environment.
Also I noticed that if the paragraph is too short the initial overwrites the
next paragraph(s) (to reproduce simply comment out the mixedcolumns).
MWE:
\starttext
\startmixedcolumns[balance=yes]
\dorecurse{10}{ \setupinitial[location=text, n=4] \placeinitial \input{ward}
\setupinitial[location=text, n=6] \placeinitial \input{knuth} }
\stopmixedcolumns
\stoptext
Admitedly this example has lots of lettrines. I added some \testcolumn to fix
that, but now some columns are not balanced (page 3)
\starttext
\startmixedcolumns[balance=yes]
\dorecurse{10}{ \setupinitial[location=text, n=4] \testcolumn[4]
\placeinitial \input{ward} \setupinitial[location=text, n=6] \testcolumn[6]
\placeinitial \input{knuth} }
\stopmixedcolumns
\stoptext
I was wondering if there were any settings to try more “aggressive” balancing
(in the example here it might be difficult). or an alternative way to let the
initial not hang into the footer that might be more “balanced” friendly.
Many thanks for any hint,
Best regards
Joseph___

Re: [NTG-context] mkiv versus mkii: whitespace issues
started, do not worry: there is no need to know what I am
talking about here in a technical sense. You can read this without
understanding any of the technical references. Just skip over them, their
specifics are not important to the story. They are real enough, though. You
can trust me on that, or ask your engineers.}. Our system has business rules
and for a certain class of prospective customers, an extra check is needed
(thus say the business rules). This check involves sending a message to a
credit rating institute and waiting for the result. Our system will in those
cases use our Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) to send a message to a server
(which runs a service for this function, hence Service Oriented Architecture
or SOA) which then handles the interaction with the credit rating institute
via a dedicated secure link. Since we only do this check in a small
percentage of cases, the server handling the requests and replies to the
credit institute is limited in size and our secure link is narrow as well.

Hi Hans,
This is a very nice feature indeed.
Out of curiosity, I wondered whether it is possible to to have \placeinitial to
work with \definefirstline, or a variant of it: that is not only have the first
character of the first sentence as a dropped capital, but also the first line
(or first few words) for instance in smallcaps.
I played with that before uploading but it was somewhat tricky. Anyway,
I redid some code so now you can do this:
\setupbodyfont
[pagella]
\setupalign
[tolerant,stretch]
\setupfirstline
[alternative=line,
color=darkred,
style=\setfontfeature{smallcaps}]
\setupfirstline

color=darkblue,

style=\setfontfeature{smallcaps},
n=3]
\setupinitial

n=2,
color=darkred,
voffset=-.5ex,

\input ward \par
\setfirstline[fancier]
\input ward \par
\setinitial % \placeinitial
\setfirstline[weirder]
\input ward \par
\stoptext
Another curiosity question: is it on purpose that
\definefirstline
[fancy]
[alternative=line,
color=darkred,
style=\setfontfeature{smallcaps},
n=2]
does not produce two lines of text in smallcaps?
I cannot imagine someone using it but it should work now. I must admit
that I never use dropcaps or even this firstline stuff so it was more a
challenge than a neccessity.
I have no clue (yet) to what extend it all interferes with other
trickery but I suppose that such features are only used in controlled
situations.

Hello Francisco,
Welcome to ConTeXt! You are sure to enjoy it here.
My conclusion is that *lettrine* does not work correctly with Mark-iv and
there is somewhere a bug that has to be corrected. But I could be
mistaken. Am I doing something wrongly?
No, you are correct, there is a bug. It happens on my end, too; I have
attached the resulting output.
\usemodule[lettrine]
\starttext
\lettrine[Lines=3]{T}{he two} typeset arguments are the
dropped capital. \input knuth
\stoptext
I had a look at the module code, but it's too low-level for me, so I'm
CC-ing Taco Hoekwater who wrote the module. Depending on how trivial
the bug is, and how busy Taco is, he might be able to help.
Kind regards,
Sietse

[NTG-context] Initials / DroppedCaps
For a book of fairy tales, I used (working!):
\def\Initial{\DroppedCaps%
{\color[red]} {Serif} {2.5\baselineskip} {3pt} {2\baselineskip} {3}}
\starttext
\Initial Once upon a time... \input tufte
\stoptext
But that gives now:
to be read again
\unskip
\\-\ifhmode \unskip
\prewordbreak \crlfplaceholder \ifcase
\raggedstatus \h...
\somefontsize -2.5\\
baselineskip
\lowleveldefinefont ...aledfontsize \somefontsize
\or \scaledfontsize
\local...
\dododefinefont ...inefont {#2}\rawfontidentifier
\csname
\rawfontidentifier...
\dodefinedfont ...nedfont][#1]\fi \thedefinedfont
\the
\everydefinedfont
...
l.7 \Initial O
nce upon a time... \input tufte
It works, if I use absolute values for font size and vertical offset,
like
\def\Initial{\DroppedCaps%
{\color[red]} {Serif} {36pt} {3pt} {28pt} {3}}
I also tried \setupinitial / \placeinitial like below; I got my
defined font, but only ever in base font size.
%\definefontsynonym[Initial][WieynkInitialen]
\setupinitial[font=WieynkInitialen,n=3,state=start,command=\Initial] %
I also tried \NiceDroppedCaps and \LineDroppedCaps that I found in the
sources, but didn’t get further.
So, what’s the preferred way to get dropped capitals / initials?
I’d like to wikify that, since it seems nowhere documented.

Hmm, I did not realize that dropped caps were still supported in MkIV base
so I've been using
\usemodule[lettrine]
which also lets you set not only dropped caps but the next couple of words
or so in another font -- such as small caps.
Hans: Does the \setupinitial also allow to set the words immediately after
in \sc etc?
Henning: Maybe you can try lettrines as well and compare them, see which
works best for what you're trying to do ... Here is a sample for you to
play with
===
\usemodule[lettrine]
\def \LettrineStyle{\definefontsynonym[LettrineFont][Italic]}
\setuplettrine
[A][Lines=2,Findent=0.2em,Nindent=0.01em,FontHook={\LettrineStyle}]

Re: [NTG-context] Project structure and modes
Hello, Hans.
Did not make a change now (in project structure)? I've updated an thirty
minutes ago ConTeXt and stopped me working translation of things that I
have a few days in order compiled.
It is possible to go some way older install standalone ConTeXt?
Thanx Jaroslav
Here is compilation error message:

[NTG-context] new beta
Hi, I uploaded a beta. A few things requested the last couple of days have been added / patched (not all of course). Also, as a prelude to getting rid of the supp-fun modules initials have been rewritten. It was a hybrid of low level code and a wrapper but now is only available in \placeinitial (the old mechanism will become a module at some point). \starttext \placeinitial \input ward \par \input ward \par \placeinitial \input tufte \setupinitial [variant] [location=text, n=2, color=darkred, distance=-1em, hoffset=1em, voffset=-3ex, before=\blank] \placeinitial[variant] \input ward \par \input ward \placeinitial[variant] \input tufte \stoptext Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] math signs in itemize
Thanks for all your replies!
I changed the superscript e into \high{e}. There is one other math item:
$\frac1{40}$ in the whole text.
I am using mkiv.
Until the recent update the document (90 pp.) was processed fine.
I add a minimal example below.
Thanks again for looking into this problem.
Regards,
Robert

No, what is something like:
...
\starttypescript [Standard]
\definetypeface [Standard] [rm] [serif] [frankruehl] [default]
[features=default]
\definetypeface [Alt][rm] [serif] [frankruehl] [default]
[features=alt]
\stoptypescript
...
{\Alt This is the first line after a whitespace, this is the linebreak} and
this is the rest of the paragraph. I'd like to have a macro that automatically
styles the first line only so I don't have to guess at linebreaks every time I
edit the text.
I need to do this because in texts that are written with the Hebrew alphabet, a
shorter glyph of the tallest letter, 'lamed,' is used inside a block of text
than in a first line, so that the interline space can be smaller. Employing
this technique makes the difference between a pretty good and a really
first-rate typesetting job :)
Thanks,
Marc

Nice, I would like to use something like this,
even setting it up to be automatic at the beginning
of chapters, for example.
But it does not quite work as lettrines.
In a silly language such as French, the following fails:
\placeinitial L'objet de cette commande\dots
as one needs:
\lettrine{L'}{objet} de cette commande\dots
Other heuristics might apply in different cases.

So you do not consider the source itself as the documentation :)

The example that I showed earlier did that. Essentially, just use
\setuphead[chapter][after=\placeinitial]
But it does not quite work as lettrines.
Indeed. Otherwise, there would no need for a separate module. Actually, it
will be nice if the functionality of lettrine can be merged with
\placeintial.
In a silly language such as French, the following fails:
\placeinitial L'objet de cette commande\dots
as one needs:
\lettrine{L'}{objet} de cette commande\dots
Other heuristics might apply in different cases.
And there are sentences starting with quotations, etc.

solution if you are working on drafts.
Isn't it better to use initials? This is what one of setups has
\definehead[initialtitle][title]
\setuphead[initialtitle]
[after=\placeinitial]
\definefontsynonym[initial][name:fontin]
\setupinitial
[ state=start,
n=3,
distance=-.1pc,
]
And then I can simply use
\initialtitle {Don Knuth said}
\input knuth
Dear Alan, Aditya, and everybody else,
thanks for your efforts, but I’m afraid that you were being
mislead about my intentions.
I am (probably mis-)using the lettrine module in order to fake the
Knuthian \danger and \ddanger macros in auto-generated context
code. One of the main goals is, other than pure convenience on my
part, that understanding of the resulting code requires only
knowledge of high-level context macros, not of high-level tex
wizardry. Of course I could start with texbook, p. 419, and try
to adapt it to context (seems to be non-trivial), but even if I
should succeed, the effort necessary to understand what’s going
on is huge compared to when using a well-known and
well-documented module.
That’s why I rather do without autoindentation, as it concerns
only the layout of the manual, not the code itself.
@Aditya, I couldn’t get your code to work, neither in mkii nor in
mkiv. Anyways, I wasn’t aware of \setup/placeinitial before so I
learned something new today.
Philipp

Indeed!
So you do not consider the source itself as the documentation :)
Copied verbatum!
I (still) read documentation better than source code,
although I am learning how to read \TeX macros and now
even lua functions. I am also supposed to work on
*writing* the documentation!
But it does not quite work as lettrines.
Indeed. Otherwise, there would no need for a separate module. Actually, it
will be nice if the functionality of lettrine can be merged with
\placeintial.
Would be very nice. Do you have good ideas about how to better parse
the beginning of text? One needs to be clever.
\lettrine{L'}{objet} de cette commande\dots
Other heuristics might apply in different cases.
And there are sentences starting with quotations, etc.
As in:
\quote{The rain in Spain...}
Maybe others on the mailing list can suggest many particular cases.

Hi,

I get output attached in gif file. It works fine without \chapter before.
Any
thoughts?
can you try
\unprotect
\ifx\keeplinestogether\undefined
\let\keeplinestogether\gobbleoneargument
\fi
[...]
btw, high level interface:
\setupindenting[medium] \setupwhitespace[medium]
\setupinitial[state=start,n=3]
\definefontsynonym[Initial][SerifBold]
\placeinitial \dorecurse{3}{\input tufte \endgraf}
Tried that. Same problem. Should I patch the original ConTeXt file? I just put
your code in the document. Sorry for a lame question.
