[Q] First work cap

[Q] First work cap

[Han The Thanh]

Hi all,

is it possible to make the first word of each chapter as smallcap without
saying explicitly \cap{someword}?

Thanks,
Thanh

Use \Caps.

if I have some huge document with a lot of 

\chapter{abc}
<text...>

already, how can I do it without inserting \Caps to every word after a
chapter?

Oops, didn't read your question carefully. Forget my answer. As for your 
question: I don't know. Pretty hard I think.

Groetjes,

Well, pretty easy actually -) 

% output=pdftex interface=en

\starttext

\unprotect

\def\doHandleFirstWord#1 {{\sc#1}\space}
\def\HandleFirstWord     {\EveryPar{\EveryPar{}\doHandleFirstWord}}

\setuphead[chapter][page=,after={\blank[2*big]\HandleFirstWord}]

\chapter{bla}

Some text some text some text some text

Some text some text some text some text

\chapter{bla}

Some text some text some text some text

Some text some text some text some text

\chapter{bla}

Some text some text some text some text

Some text some text some text some text

\stoptext

What about a hook in the kernel?

\setuphead[headname][firstword=\command]

I do have some hooks here, for instance for dropped caps (kind of tricky,
consider a initial char spanning three lines where the first paragraph is
one line) and some day this kind of things will move into the core. There
is a supp-fun.tex file that implements some of it.

Aha! So it's not just me unable to work it out correctly! It *is*
hard to implement ...

I tried

\def\DoCap{\NiceDroppedCaps{}{cmr12}{0pt}{2}}
\def\CapFirst{\EveryPar{\EveryPar{}\DoCap}}

\setuphead[subject][after=\CapFirst]

and the results are far from perfect, even when initial paragraphs
are long enough ... The Cap gets in the margin, and the subsequent
lines are too much indented ... can it depend on the fact that
first paragraphs are not indented in my setup?
