\placeinitial after a heading

Hi, If I attempt to insert a drop cap after a heading while the paragraph indentation is enabled, I get the following effect: all lines the drop cap spans except the first one (e. g. second and third in case of n=3) get an additional indent, equal to the \parindent. For example: \setupinitial[font=Bold sa 4,n=3] \setupindenting[yes,1em] \starttext \section{Knuth} \placeinitial \input knuth \stoptext I suppose this is not the intended behavior :) The problem doesn't occur if I enable indenting also for the first paragraph after the heading, but in this case, of course, the drop cap itself is indented together with its adjacent lines. So the following workaround is possible: \setupinitial[font=Bold sa 4,n=3, hoffset=\parindent,distance=-\parindent] \setuphead[section][indentnext=yes] Nevertheless it would be nice if this issue could be fixed. Also, is it possible to explicitly apply case conversion commands to a drop cap? Setting the 'style' option to \WORD or \word currently seems to have no effect. -- Regards, Alexey Kryukov <anagnost at yandex dot ru> Moscow State University Faculty of History

in the next beta the following works ok \showframe \setupbodyfont[12pt] \setuplayout[height=middle,topspace=1cm,header=0pt] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupinitial[font=Bold sa 4,n=3] \starttext \section{Knuth} \setupinitial[location=text] \placeinitial \input knuth \par \placeinitial \input knuth \par \section{Knuth} \setupinitial[location=margin] \placeinitial \input knuth \par \placeinitial \input knuth \par \page \section{Knuth} \setupinitial[location=text] \placeinitial \input knuth \par \placeinitial \input knuth \par \section{Knuth} \setupinitial[location=margin] \placeinitial \input knuth \par \placeinitial \input knuth \par \page \setupindenting[yes,1em] \section{Knuth} \setupinitial[location=text] \placeinitial \input knuth \par \placeinitial \input knuth \par \section{Knuth} \setupinitial[location=margin] \placeinitial \input knuth \par \placeinitial \input knuth \par \page \section{Knuth} \setupinitial[location=text] \placeinitial \input knuth \par \placeinitial \input knuth \par \section{Knuth} \setupinitial[location=margin] \placeinitial \input knuth \par \placeinitial \input knuth \par \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
