If I have a callback called just after paragraph has been split into lines, would not be enough to count the number of hboxes in the vbox the paragraph itself is contained ? Cannot say it’s ideal (easier to simply read tex.prevgraf for sure), but might be possible, unless I missed something (totally possible).

In a couple of cases I see \prevgraf being larger than number of lines of previous paragraph, including lines for paragraph before than one as well. Could not create a MWE unfortunately to reproduce this case so far.

I’ll try to amend my dropcaps/lettrine logic then. What are the reasons behind this change in \prevgraf TeX primitive which AFAIK exists since TeX has been written ? I thought that one of the strong points in TeX was overall stability of its behaviour among versions. Here with this semantic change in \prevgraf in recent luatex, this stability is a bit broken IMO.

but .. that one is then still on the same page; in fact, you should

check for realpage being changed then

prevgraf is still ok after a 7 line paragraph but ... when you cross a

page, and have say 4 lines moved to the next one, then a 7 line

hangafter would be wrong (you can check if a par is on the same page)

with callbacks after breaking in lines you still don't know ...
