Subject: distance parameter of \setupinitial
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2020 20:56:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0BDAC40D-4101-4A4E-A878-39EAF18EFEDC@fiee.net> (raw)
Hi,
I’d like an initial in front of the text block.
It works more or less, but I find the behaviour of the distance parameter confusing:
If I set it to -1em (like in the MWE below), the text lines get indented a bit on the right side.
With somewhat bigger values, the indent disappears, but the initial is moved to the left.
But the initial should nearly touch the first characters, and the text lines should be full width.
The behavior is the same with (latest) MkIV and LMTX.
Is there a misunderstanding of the parameters on my side, or is this a bug?
\setupinitial[
distance=-1em,
n=2,
hoffset=1em,
]
\showframe
\starttext
\placeinitial{L}orem ipsum. \input lorem
\stoptext
Hraban
