[NTG-context] Drop capital

2004-03-07 Thread Charles Doherty 
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

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

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.
