paragraph question

paragraph question

[Alan Stone]

Hi,

How do you access the first paragraph of each chapter ?

I guess with...

\setuphead[chapter][after=\PlayWithFirstParagraph]

\def\PlayWithFirstParagraph...

How to fill in the dots ?

Alan

... to calculate its number of lines ?

If not possible with ConTeXt commands, is this possible with LuaTeX commands?

\the\prevgraf

but surely doable in luatex

there is support for positional info ... depending on the problem that 
might help (set two positions and calculate the difference); no time now

To set \setuplettrine[Lines=1] if "chapter's first paragraph number of

Maybe redefine \par to do something like

\def\nooflines{\prevgraf}\let\par=\oldpar

where previously you hd \let\oldpar=\par

I don't think this will work without problems for a complete document.

Enclosing each paragraph with \bpar ... \epar allows you to count the  
paragraph
number since the last chapter and you can save \prevgraf at the end  
with twopass
data for the next run.

But wouldn't a direct \lettrine at the begin of the first paragraph be  
easier.

messing around with \par is dangerous and asking for trouble

-----------------------------------------------
\prevgraf [ <number> parameter ]
In horizontal mode, this parameter specifies the number of lines in the
paragraph so far; in vertical mode, it specifies the number of lines in
the previous paragraph.
-----------------------------------------------

After giving it some further thought and with reference to "specifies
the number of lines in the
paragraph so far", I don't need to know the paragraph's number of
lines but whether its "number of lines" = 1 or not.

You can test whether the last paragraph had 1 or more lines and make
your decision dependent on the result but this can be done only after
the paragraph ist finished.

\def\paragraphlines
   {\blank % Finish the last paragraph
    \ifnum\prevgraf=1 What I want.\else Too many lines.\fi
    \blank}

\starttext

\dorecurse{30}{text }\paragraphlines

\dorecurse{10}{text }\paragraphlines

\dorecurse{50}{text }\paragraphlines

\stoptext

Well, Wolfgang, you'll be surprised: it can be done (even in pure
vanilla TeX), at the expense of (possibly) nonuniform spacing.  Google
for a file "meashor.tex":).  (In Poland, we have a saying: "nasi górą!"
-- roughly "our people win!" -- I can't resist citing it here, since it
was Bogusław Jackowski who wrote that macros:)).

Thanks Wolfgang, however I'm looking for a solution without adding
additional commands to the text source.

Requires to switch to the LuaTeX list ?

I found the information about display math in my TeX book (although my
TeX skills are not good enough to to write the code) but Alan want to
know the number of lines before the text is typeset to insert a lettrine
at the begin of the paragraph, can you also deliver code for this?

You can give it a try but I think Hans or Taco had given you then
a solution if this is possible but I could be wrong regarding LuaTeX.

Well, obviously not:).  But I only wanted to show that it _is_ possible
to know in which line we are before we have the whole paragraph typeset
(although with limitations).  Sorry, it was a bit off-topic, but I
couldn't resist the temptation to point out that Wolfgang The Great TeX
Haxxor doesn't know something:P.

that does not help you as taco and i are on both lists

i can imagine that mkiv at some point privides something but it needs 
way more thinking (we have this end of par problem since ages) if only 
because what you see as end of par might actually be just before the 
final skips that ends a par

something everyendpar is on our todo list but later in the luatex project

Ok.

In the meantime, an idea - for what it's worth...

Would it be possible to somehow, in the typesetting process, dummy
typeset the first paragraph of each chapter (in memory or in a dummy
output file) to determine whether its number of lines = 1 or > 1, or
determine its total number of lines, and work from there ?

a luatex/mkiv solution is actually rather simple but i'm in the middle 
of math stuff so it has to wait some time

Re: paragraph question

[Alan Stone]

Another idea...

How do you make this line counter work ?

\newcount\parnumber
\newcount\linenumber
\def\myCounters{%
   \EveryPar{%
      \advance\parnumber by 1
      (P\the\parnumber)
      \EveryLine{%
%         (L\the\prevgraf)}}
      \advance\linenumber by 1
      (L\the\linenumber)}
      \linenumber=0\relax}
   \parnumber=0\relax}

\setuphead[chapter][page=,after={\myCounters}]

\starttext

\chapter{Chapter 0}

Only one line.

\dorecurse{2}{\chapter{Chapter #1}\input knuth}

\stoptext

Ok, my question was a bit ambiguous...

I was not looking to number lines, but to count lines using EveryLine
within EveryPar, aka the paragraph counter \parnumber in the provided
code.
