Hi, I would like to be able to specify a style that would apply to text that appears on the first line of a paragraph after whitespace. I have no idea how to go about it.
Specifically, I have a font with an alternate glyph that can only be used after whitespace, and I would like to have it used automatically when appropriate.
Do you want a initial?
\setupinitial[state=start]
\starttext \placeinitial \input knuth \stoptext

No, what is something like: ... \starttypescript [Standard] \definetypeface [Standard] [rm] [serif] [frankruehl] [default] [features=default] \definetypeface [Alt] [rm] [serif] [frankruehl] [default] [features=alt] \stoptypescript ... {\Alt This is the first line after a whitespace, this is the linebreak} and this is the rest of the paragraph. I'd like to have a macro that automatically styles the first line only so I don't have to guess at linebreaks every time I edit the text. I need to do this because in texts that are written with the Hebrew alphabet, a shorter glyph of the tallest letter, 'lamed,' is used inside a block of text than in a first line, so that the interline space can be smaller. Employing this technique makes the difference between a pretty good and a really first-rate typesetting job :) Thanks, Marc
