TreatFirstLine: loss of spaces
The code below changes the first line. However, there are no spaces between words and therefore, the justification is also off. You can even leave the first parameter empty and you get the same results. Am I missing something? \starttext \TreatFirstLine {\sc} {} {} {} The combined color and font effect is also possible, although one must be careful in using macros that accumulate grouping, but the commands used here are pretty save in that respect. \stoptext Thanks, Bart

That works, but it doesn't have the options that TreatFirstLine has. Is TreatFirstLine broken? Bart

\starttext
\TreatFirstLine {\sc} {} {} {}
\TreatFirstLine {\sc} {} {} { } ^ space attached is the output of a mkiv variant (i couldn't resist trying to do it otherwise; watch how this one nicely hyphenates) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hans, Your output looks great. However, with the code below, I still get no spaces on the first line. Compile (w/ beta): texexec --lua <file> ConTeXt ver: 2009.01.14 11:29 MKIV fmt: 2009.1.14 Luatex: Version snapshot-0.31.3-2008123108 I also tried with the "current" version as well. \starttext \TreatFirstLine{\sc}{}{}{} The combined color and font effect is also possible, although one must be careful in using macros that accumulate grouping, but the commands used here are pretty save in that respect. \stoptext Hints? Thanks, Bart

because (as i mentioned in the mail) you need to add a space as fourth argument \TreatFirstLine {\sc} {} {} { } or \TreatFirstLine {\sc} {} {} {\space} (i get the impression that your mail client behaves strange and mangles the mails; at least here i get funny formatted mails; do you use html mail?)

I don't use html mail (kmail), so it used a proporational font. So your "^ space" was pointing to the space between the first and second paragraphs! My bad. It works! Thanks, Bart
