> *Very* nice! This may be something for mom... I agree, it is very nice indeed! However, I see a couple of problems:- 1) it doesn't allow for pulling text back alongside a dropped `A'. 2) if there isn't enough following text to bring the paragraph baseline below the bottom of the dropped cap, and the following para also begins with a dropped cap, the indentation is messed up for subsequent paras. Try the following, and you will see what I mean. I've attached another patch to address (1), but haven't had time to address (2). <example> .sp .ps 16 .vs 20 .so dropcap.tmac .defcolor darkblue rgb 0.1f 0.1f 0.3f .dropcap An 4 darkblue R T -3n +1n example of the use of Gaius' dropcap macro. .sp 4 .dropcap When 4 darkblue R T 0 -0.5n -1n appropriate adjustment parameters are specified, it produces a rather nice effect, as we can see the subsequent lines indented by -1n each line down the drop capital. It is possible to append more parameters to this macro, each parameter indicates the relative indentation for the next line. Therefore it is possible to make text pull in and out of a drop capital I. .sp .dropcap In 7 darkblue R T 0 -1n 0 0 0 0 1n an attempt to provide an example of the drop capital macro I needed to write some text. This is always problematic and I wish I could just hash include some dummy text instead. In an attempt to provide an example of the drop capital macro I needed to write some text.
