With the following minimal example: \definemeasure[CAindent][12pt] % Every chapter body text starts with a drop cap: \setupinitial[n=3,m=1,-\measure{CAindent}]] \setupindenting[yes,\measure{CAindent}] \starttext \placeinitial S{\bf{\kap uppose we}} have a system for the approval of loans. \input knuth \stoptext both the initial and the bold stuff after it is indented. With hoffset I can move the initial, but not what comes after. I have been experimenting but haven’t found a way to solve this.
