[NTG-context] first line in different font

[NTG-context] first line in different font

[Thomas Meyer]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 268 bytes --]

Hi guys,

Is it possible to set the first line of an indented paragraph in a 
different font?
I saw it in a book. There, the first line was indented to half the line 
width (\setupindenting[yes, .5\textwidth]) and set in smallcaps.
Any hints?

Thanks in advance
Thomas

Yes it is possible but it stops when the indentation gets too large.

There seems to be a few other problems because the spaces between the 
words are too wide and it gets worse with increased indentation.

%%%% begin example
\definefirstline
   [smallcaps]
   [alternative=line,
    style=\setsmallcaps]

\setupbodyfont [pagella]

% even with wider lines the formatting of the first line stops
% \setuppapersize[A4,landscape]

\starttext

% \setupindenting[yes,.5tw]
% \setfirstline[smallcaps]
% \samplefile{lorem}

\doloopoverlist{0,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5}
   {\setupindenting[yes,\recursestring\textwidth]
    \inleft{\recursestring}
    \setfirstline[smallcaps]
    \samplefile{lorem}
    \blank}

\stoptext
%%%% end example

Thank you, Wolfgang,

it's a pity that it doesn't really work with indentations.

Markus Kohm once sent me a routine for LaTeX. It worked with that. 
However, the problem was that the hyphenation required at the end of the 
line did not work and then the word spacing became larger and larger.

Greetings
Thomas

just comment line 168 in typo-fln (because we run in parindent == glue 
mode in context, otherwise parindent is applied twice) (i didn't check 
mkiv)
