Hi Martin,

I guess initials make sense only when used inside a paragraph. It is
problematic when you have white space defined.

Having margin initials is also another approach. You may compare both
with the following sample:

    \setupwhitespace[medium]
    \setupinitial[location=margin]
    \starttext
    \placeinitial
    Knuth writes:

    \input knuth
    \setupinitial[location=text]
    \placeinitial
    Knuth writes:\\
    \input knuth
    \stoptext

I hope it helps,

Pablo
