Hi,

Thanks a lot to Taco for the very handy lettrine module.

How do you make it automatically drop cap the first word of each chapter ?

I don't think you can.

How about cooking up something with \setuphead[chapter][after=...] to apply \lettrine to the first word or letter of the first paragraph ? So far for the idea. For the implementation I'm clueless... Alan

Best wishes, Taco

maybe we can let chapter into mychap, and define chapter as mychap+lettrine. On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 12:52 AM, Gerben Wierda wrote:

In sofar as lay out is concerned, I use:

\lettrine{T}{\kap{\bf here is no}} such thing as `digital technology'.

This smoothes the gap between the first character and the normal type. Automatiing that in terms of \setup will be even harder, I guess. But then again, if your book has 20 chapters, you only need to do it 20 times ;-)
