My question will be very simple: Is there a trick to make \placeinitial command work within makeup pages? One of my pages inside the /frontmater/ is a quote page within an special layout. Before using LMTX, when I could use the Lettrine module, that quote started with a capital letter. But now that I use \placeinitial, the first letter no longer changes: it remains a simple initial capital letter. On the other hand, when I use \placeinitial for each first paragraph in the chapters of my book, the result is as expected. That is, the command works fine as long as it stays within the general layout. This is the code I'm referring to: \startmakeup[standard][doublesided=yes] \setuplayout[backspace=176pt,width=194pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=22pt] \style[tfa] \startalignment[hanging,flushleft,nothyphenated] \placeinitial Ahora, vosotros que amáis, dejadme que os formule una pregunta: ¿quién sufre más por ello, Arcite o Palamón? ¿El que ve a su dama diariamente, pero está encerrado para siempre, o el que es libre de ir donde le plazca, pero no verá nunca más a su dama? Aquellos de vosotros que podáis, elegid entre las dos situaciones a voluntad; yo, por mi parte, continuaré como he empezado. \stopalignment \startalignment[hanging,flushright,nothyphenated] \blank[0.8cm,force]{\tfa\sc Geofrey Chaucer,\hspace[big]} \blank[0.1cm,force]{\tfa\em The Canterbury Tales \hspace[big]} \stopalignment \stopmakeup Eduardo Bohoyo
