placeinitial broken (mkiv)?

placeinitial broken (mkiv)?

[Andreas Mang]

Hi there,

the example from the garden (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Initials; with reference to "[NTG-context] Lettrine not Working as Expected") does not work for me:

%%%% minimal %%%% 
\setupinitial[color=red,font=Bold sa 4,distance=3pt,state=start,n=3]
% known parameters: font, distance, state, n, command

\starttext
\placeinitial \input knuth
\stoptext
%%%% minimal %%%% 

ConTeXt  ver: 2013.01.13 23:10 MKIV  fmt: 2013.1.17

Is there a problem or am I doing something wrong?!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers
Andreas

What doesn’t work, do you get a error message or is the output wrong?

When I process the example I get a pdf with a red T as initial.

Sorry for being imprecise. I've used MKIV. I gave it another try and now I also get the correct result (after getting the plain text without a big red "T" for a couple of times). I wonder how you managed to heal my local installation ;)

So, sorry for wasting your time and for being stupid, too. I don't know what I've been doing. Time to go on holidays. 

Cheers
Andreas
