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. -- Max ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : https://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
