My question will be very simple: Is there a trick to make \placeinitial
command work within makeup pages?
One of my pages inside the /frontmater/ is a quote page within an
special layout. Before using LMTX, when I could use the Lettrine module,
that quote started with a capital letter. But now that I use
\placeinitial, the first letter no longer changes: it remains a simple
initial capital letter.
On the other hand, when I use \placeinitial for each first paragraph in
the chapters of my book, the result is as expected. That is, the command
works fine as long as it stays within the general layout.
This is the code I'm referring to:
\startmakeup[standard][doublesided=yes]
\setuplayout[backspace=176pt,width=194pt]
\setupinterlinespace[line=22pt]
\style[tfa]
\startalignment[hanging,flushleft,nothyphenated]
\placeinitial Ahora, vosotros que amáis, dejadme que os formule una
pregunta: ¿quién sufre más por ello, Arcite o Palamón? ¿El que ve
a su dama diariamente, pero está encerrado para siempre, o el
que es libre de ir donde le plazca, pero no verá nunca más
a su dama? Aquellos de vosotros que podáis, elegid entre las
dos situaciones a voluntad; yo, por mi parte, continuaré como he
empezado.
\stopalignment
\startalignment[hanging,flushright,nothyphenated]
\blank[0.8cm,force]{\tfa\sc Geofrey Chaucer,\hspace[big]}
\blank[0.1cm,force]{\tfa\em The Canterbury Tales \hspace[big]}
\stopalignment
\stopmakeup
You can add this to cont-new.mkxl (assuming lmtx)
\unprotect
\permanent\tolerant\protected\def\flushinitial
{\typo_initial_handle}
\protect
and then
\placeinitial \flushinitial Ahora, ...
will work. More clever automated solutions are likely to interfere and
have side effects for embedded cases so this is the best I can come up
with now.
