Ideally, \DropCap would notice a piece of leading punctuation and drop it as well. Instead, it seems to look at the punctuation and give up.

Example:

\def\Drop {\DroppedCaps {} {Serif} {4\baselineskip} {2pt} {2\baselineskip} {3}}

\starttext

{\Drop A} \input knuth

\page

{\Drop “A} \input knuth \page

\stoptext

Advice?

Hi Daniel, have you tried Taco’s Lettrine module?[1] It should do the job and allows special handling of quotation marks as well: ···8<···························································· \usemodule[lettrine] \starttext \lettrine{“A}{} \input knuth \blank[line] \lettrine[Ante={“}]{A}{} \input knuth \stoptext \endinput ···>8···························································· [1] http://modules.contextgarden.net/t-lettrine Regards, Philipp

Thanks again,

— Daniel Lyons
