Hi list!
I have a three-part question.
First, when using \placeinitial, how would you detect whether the first
character is a quotation mark, and, if so, override the setupinitial to use
m=2?
Second, when using m=2 to capture a quotation mark, how would you change
the font size of only the
Hi, I tried to figure out what the "method" parameter of \setupinitial
does – it changes the handling of quotation marks at the beginning of
the text. It’s defined in context/base/mkiv/typo-drp.lua
But I found no difference between first, last, and none; just "auto"

Hi Wolfgang,
You can use the tabulate environment to create parallel paragraphs.
Just one thing for others, this solution as the same problem as
paragraphs: \placeinitial won't work.
I.e. this:
\setupinitial[text=#1]\placeinitial
inside the tabulate or paragraphs doesn't work

Hi,
since the lettrine module does not work with LMTX, I’ve looked into
\setupinitial.
(There is a different thread about this.)
There is a „style“ parameter to change the style, but whenever I change the
style, the font size is reset.
This is not what I expected.
This was the case in context

But the initial should nearly touch the first characters, and the text lines

Do you want a initial?

solution if you are working on drafts.
Isn't it better to use initials? This is what one of setups has"
\definehead[initialtitle][title]
\setuphead[initialtitle]
[after=\placeinitial]
\definefontsynonym[initial][name:fontin]
\setupinitial
[ state=start,
n=
#2}

\definehead[initialtitle][title]
\setuphead[initialtitle]
[after=\placeinitial]
\definefontsynonym[initial][name:fontin]
\setupinitial
[ state=start,
n=3,
distance=-.1pc,

And then I can simply use
\initialtitle {Don Knuth said}
\inpu
Could be a one character word !
{\globaldropcaps\let\DroppedIndent\!!zeropoint
\globaldropcaps\edef\DroppedLines{\number\maxdimen}%
\globaldropcaps\chardef\DroppedStatus\plusthree

btw, another way is:

ppedCaps macros in
supp-fun, and in some higher-level macros
{setupinitial,placeinitial,checkinitial} in core-fnt. I only noticed the
latter recently, with this message:
