No, what is something like:

\starttypescript [Standard] \definetypeface [Standard] [rm] [serif] [frankruehl] [default] [features=default] \definetypeface [Alt] [rm] [serif] [frankruehl] [default] [features=alt] \stoptypescript
...
{\Alt This is the first line after a whitespace, this is the linebreak} and this is the rest of the paragraph. I'd like to have a macro that automatically styles the first line only so I don't have to guess at linebreaks every time I edit the text.
I need to do this because in texts that are written with the Hebrew alphabet, a shorter glyph of the tallest letter, 'lamed,' is used inside a block of text than in a first line, so that the interline space can be smaller. Employing this technique makes the difference between a pretty good and a really first-rate typesetting job :)
Adapt the following to your case:
\setupbodyfont[pagella]
\definefontfeature[allcaps][smcp=yes,c2sc=yes]
\starttext
\TreatFirstLine {\addff{allcaps}} {} {} {} The Earth, as a habitat for animal life, is in old age and has a fatal illness. Several, in fact. It would be happening whether humans had ever evolved or not. But our presence is like the effect of an old-age patient who smokes many packs of cigarettes per day — and we humans are the cigarettes.
\stoptext

This works perfectly! Also, the \addff is going to make my life much easier. Thank you very much. Marc ___________________________________________________________________________________
