Dear all,

I am preparing a newsletter for our group on the history of settlement in Ireland. I would like to use a drop capital at the start of articles. I think I remember a file explaining how to do this in Context but I can't find it now. Can anyone tell me the code to use or give me the url of the file (if I am not just imagining this).

Thanks, Charlie Doherty

you can take a look in core-fnt.tex and supp-fun which has streched, all kinds of underline, dropped caps and alike

Here my working sample: -------------------------- \def\MyDroppedCaps% {\DroppedCaps {} {uplr8t} {2\baselineskip} {3pt} {\baselineskip} {2}} \useencoding[win] \mainlanguage[de] \starttext \MyDroppedCaps Z{\sc wei} Konstanten regieren die Proportionen eines gut gemachten Buches\kern.2em: Hand und Auge. Das gesunde Auge ist immer um zwei Spannen von der Buchseite entfernt, und alle Menschen fassen Bücher auf die gleiche Weise an. \stoptext --------------------------

(but I have never used the dropped caps feature myself... so if succeed let me know)
