RE: [NTG-context] lettrine.sty, but not LaTeX
- The text font seems to be defaulted to small capitals. However, this is merely one of the conventions how text after a dropcap is set. Other conventions include e.g. roman or italic caps, roman or italic lower case etc. You can set the 'TextFont' parameter to something else. - Regarding the slope one should be able to set indentation separately for each line. This depends on the fact that some characters call for a different type of intendation of the lines - e.g. the character L. I will keep this in mind for a future extension - Sometimes there is a need to indent the dropcap slightly itself, e.g. if one uses a quotation mark before the dropcap. So a parameter to control that would be great. You can set the 'Hang' parameter to a negative value. Many thanks!

Hi Mats, I followed this thread. Basically the t-lettri.tex must be placed in a path known to TeX. Indeed if you place it in \base or \user this is the case. - In earlier discussion I think to remember that one could best create a directory \third (or similar) where such files can be placed.

i remember someone telling me that this \hbox{{#1}} stuff is needed to satisfy
latex's color mechanism, but that's not needed in context, so a simple
\setbox\Lettrinetbox{}
is not only even more efficient in terms of tokens and performance (unnoticable)
but also does not clash with the core macro.
remark 2:
auto-lettrines (dropcaps etc) are kind of complex in the sense that it's not

Taco, Great work. I did some tests of this and have a few comments: - I tested with the inital H and [Lines=4,Hang=.1,Nindent=20pt,Findent=20pt]. This makes the H itself be indented too (see enclosed dump). It seems that Findent adds space both before and after the dropcap, when it only should add after the dropcap. - The text font seems to be defaulted to small capitals. However, this is merely one of the conventions how text after a dropcap is set. Other conventions include e.g. roman or italic caps, roman or italic lower case etc. - Regarding the slope one should be able to set indentation separately for each line. This depends on the fact that some characters call for a different type of intendation of the lines - e.g. the character L. - Sometimes there is a need to indent the dropcap slightly itself, e.g. if one uses a quotation mark before the dropcap. So a parameter to control that would be great.

RE: [NTG-context] lettrine.sty, but not LaTeX
Dear listmembers,
I am not quite yet a ConTeXt user (struggling with the installation),
but having a background as typographer, graphic designer, and printer, I
feel that the lettrine.sty package could serve very well as a model for
something similar in ConTeXt.
At any rate, in order to produce high quality intitials, a ConTeXt
equivalent should not have any less parameters than lettrine.sty.
To re-cap the parameters in lettrine.sty:
==
- lines=integer sets how many lines the dropped capital will occupy
(default=2);
- lhang=decimal (0 lhang = 1) sets how much of the dropped
capitals width should hang into the margin (default=0);
- loversize=decimal (-1 loversize = 1) enlarges the dropped
capitals height: with loversize=0.1 its height is enlarged by 10% so
that it raises above the top paragraphs line (default=0);
- lraise=decimal does not affect the dropped capitals height, but
moves it up (if positive), down (if negative); useful with capitals like
J or Q which have a positive depth, (default=0);
- findent=dimen (positive or negative) controls the horizontal gap
between the dropped capital and the indented block of text
(default=0pt);
- nindent=dimen shifts all indented lines, starting from the second
one, horizontally by dimen (this shift is relative to the first line,
default=0.5em);
- slope=dimen can be used with dropped capitals like A or V to add
dimen (positive or negative) to the indentation of each line starting
from the third one (no e
ect if lines=2, default=0pt);
- ante=text can be used to typeset text before the dropped capital
(typical use is for French guillemets starting the paragraph);
- image=true (new to version 1.6) will force \lettrine to replace the
letter normally used as dropped capital by an image in eps format
(latex) or in pdf, jpg, etc. format (pdflatex); this needs the graphicx
package to be loaded in the preamble of course.
\lettrine[image=true]{A}{n exemple} or just \lettrine[image]{A}{n
exemple} will load A.eps or A.pdf instead of letter A. This was
suggested by Bill Jetzer. Redefining \LettrineFont as \LettrineFontEPS
still works for compatibility but is deprecated.
==
Also, sometimes one wants to indent all indented lines to the same
position (instead of intenting the first line less) and this should
ideally be possible too.
Plus setting a specific color for the initial, but that is handled by
ConTeXt's standard features (I guess).
Best regards,
Mats Broberg
Ah ok, I see. No you cannot do that with DroppedCaps, as is.

Lettrine is easier than that, actually. I thought this would be quite
funny, so here is a brand new module called t-lettri.tex, and an example.
Just tried 2 attached files and I see error:
...
system (E-TEX) : [line 2280] \ifcsname
protect 4 protect 3)
specials: fdf loaded
unprotect 3 protect 3)
specials: fdf,tpd loaded
)
system : macros of module lettri loaded
(./t-lettri.tex
! Illegal parameter number in definition of \LettrineFontEPS.
to be read again
1
l.99 \def\LettrineFontEPS{#1
}{%
?
In the src t-lettri.tex if I change
\def\LettrineFontEPS{#1}{%
to
\def\LettrineFontEPS#1{%
It works fine ;)
Cheers,

Hmm, this is great. However, I can't seem to get it to accept an image (Image=true or Image=yes). Anyone else have some luck?
