it's kind of tricky because a nested paragraph (as in footnotes) can
reset the state so we need to take precautions for that without harming

The latest version fixes the \placeinitial issue.
Many thanks!

Hi—
\placeinitial seems to fail when there is a footnote in the paragraph. At
least
\startparagraph
\placeinitial \input ward \footnote{A footnote.}
\stopparagraph
only works when the footnote is commented out.
I am running lmtx [ConTeXt ver: 2023.06.22 LMTX fmt: 2023.6.26]

I did a simple thing, replace a \framed by \framedtext to get \placeinitial
working but that doesn't seem to work automatically:
%==
\starttext
\setupinitial[n=2,text=Knuth]\placeinitial\input knuth
\framed[align=flushleft]{\setupinitial[n=2,text=Knuth]\placeinitial
I'd like to use a drop cap inside a \framed, but it doesn't work.
Minimal example:
%==
\starttext
\setupinitial[n=2,text=Knuth]\placeinitial\input knuth
\framed[align=flushleft]{\setupinitial[n=2,text=Knuth]\placeinitial\input knuth
}
\stoptext
Never mind. Apparently lmtx changed the default for \setupindenting from
'next' to 'first'?

The mkiv output is the desired effect. It works fine in lmtx if I do

You are welcome. Obviously, it's a dirty trick. For example, it falls
down if we have a non-white background on our page.
Hopefully LMTX won't take long to update.

It took me quite a while to hunt this down...
The use of a text background breaks \placeinitial.
I do not have a patch, but at least can provide a minimal example:
\definetextbackground [SetOff] [location=paragraph]
\starttext
\placeinitial
\input tufte
\startSetOff
\input ward
\stopSetOff
\placeinitial does not play well with indenting.

\setupindenting [big,yes]

Of course, uncommenting the \noindent is an aesthetic solution.
