Dropped Caps with Numerals

Dropped Caps with Numerals

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to do dropped caps (in ConTeXt) but with numerals instead of letters. The standard DroppedCaps macro only seems to work with letters.

You can either add the digits to the string of 'to be dropped'
characters by adding this definition to your preamble:

   \def\DroppedString{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789}

or you can use the lettrine module that you can find here:
