Dear all,

I am preparing a newsletter for our group on the history of 
settlement in Ireland. I would like to use a drop capital at the 
start of articles. I think I remember a file explaining how to do 
this in Context but I can't find it now. Can anyone tell me the code 
to use or give me the url of the file (if I am not just imagining this).

Thanks,
Charlie Doherty


I found that a few months ago Hans answered this to someone on the list:

you can take a look in core-fnt.tex and supp-fun which has streched, 
all kinds of underline, dropped caps and alike

Here my working sample:
--------------------------
\def\MyDroppedCaps%
 {\DroppedCaps
    {} {uplr8t}
    {2\baselineskip} {3pt} {\baselineskip} {2}}
\useencoding[win]
\mainlanguage[de]
\starttext
\MyDroppedCaps Z{\sc wei} Konstanten regieren die Proportionen eines gut 
gemachten Buches\kern.2em: Hand und Auge.
Das gesunde Auge ist immer um zwei Spannen von der Buchseite entfernt, 
und alle Menschen fassen Bücher
auf die gleiche Weise an.
\stoptext

(but I have never used the dropped caps feature myself... so if 
succeed let me know)

Best regards: OK
