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
