Hi Hans,
This is a very nice feature indeed.
Out of curiosity, I wondered whether it is possible to to have \placeinitial to work with \definefirstline, or a variant of it: that is not only have the first character of the first sentence as a dropped capital, but also the first line (or first few words) for instance in smallcaps.
Another curiosity question: is it on purpose that
\definefirstline
[fancy]
[alternative=line,
color=darkred,
style=\setfontfeature{smallcaps},
n=2]
does not produce two lines of text in smallcaps?
Best regards: OK

Hi,
Some new magic in the beta ...
\setupbodyfont[pagella]
\starttext
\setupindenting[medium,yes] \setupalign[tolerant]
\definefirstline [fancy] [alternative=line, color=darkred, style=\setfontfeature{smallcaps}]
\setfirstline[fancy] \input tufte \par \setfirstline[fancy] \input ward \par \setfirstline[fancy] \input knuth \par \setfirstline[fancy] \input bryson \page
\definefirstline [fancy] [alternative=word, color=darkblue, style=bold, n=2]
\setfirstline[fancy] \input tufte \par \setfirstline[fancy] \input ward \par \setfirstline[fancy] \input knuth \par \setfirstline[fancy] \input bryson \page
\stoptext
(Actually, it was rather old magic that I found back in an "early days of mkiv" file).
