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.
Thank you,
Marc Trius

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

Adapt the following to your case:
\setupbodyfont[pagella]
\definefontfeature[allcaps][smcp=yes,c2sc=yes]
\starttext
\TreatFirstLine {\addff{allcaps}} {} {} {}
The Earth, as a habitat for animal life, is in old age and has a fatal illness. Several, in fact. It would be happening whether humans had ever evolved or not. But our presence is like the effect of an old-age patient who smokes many packs of cigarettes per day — and we humans are the cigarettes.
\stoptext

This works perfectly! Also, the \addff is going to make my life much easier. Thank you very much.
