Dear all,
First of all, thanks for new beta. It fixes the initial feature (in previous
beta there were not typeset at all).
But while testing (a bit somewhat extreme example to push the limits) I came up
with some initial letter hanging in the footer (page 3). Not sure the issue is
linked with mixedcolumns but could not reproduce in plain vanilla environment.
Also I noticed that if the paragraph is too short the initial overwrites the
next paragraph(s) (to reproduce simply comment out the mixedcolumns).
MWE:
\starttext
\startmixedcolumns[balance=yes]
\dorecurse{10}{ \setupinitial[location=text, n=4] \placeinitial \input{ward}
\setupinitial[location=text, n=6] \placeinitial \input{knuth} }
\stopmixedcolumns
\stoptext
Admitedly this example has lots of lettrines. I added some \testcolumn to fix
that, but now some columns are not balanced (page 3)
\starttext
\startmixedcolumns[balance=yes]
\dorecurse{10}{ \setupinitial[location=text, n=4] \testcolumn[4]
\placeinitial \input{ward} \setupinitial[location=text, n=6] \testcolumn[6]
\placeinitial \input{knuth} }
\stopmixedcolumns
\stoptext
I was wondering if there were any settings to try more “aggressive” balancing
(in the example here it might be difficult). or an alternative way to let the
initial not hang into the footer that might be more “balanced” friendly.
Many thanks for any hint,
Best regards
