- 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.
That was a bug, so, although I promised I wouldn't do this ... here is version four. ;-)
- 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.
Greetings, Taco
Just tried the following code: ------------------------------------------------- \starttext \placefigure[right]{none}{\externalfigure[foo][width=4cm,height=4cm]} Voici a very silly \input tufte \blank[1cm] \placefigure[right]{none}{\externalfigure[foo][width=4cm,height=4cm]} \lettrine {V}{oici} a very silly \input tufte \stoptext -------------------------------------------------------------- There is a strange behaviour of \placefigure[right] when using \lettrine (see attached image) Any ideas ? Thanks, Q.
