Lettrine module not working?!

Lettrine module not working?!

[G.C.H.M. Verhaag via ntg-context]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1649 bytes --]

Dear ConTeXt-user,

Have been using ConTeXt for quite some time now and did a fresh 
standalone install today:

mtx-context     | ConTeXt Process Management 1.04
mtx-context     |
mtx-context     | main context file: 
/home/gverhaag/ConTeXtInstallation/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv
mtx-context     | current version: 2023.02.14 17:44
mtx-context     | main context file: 
/home/gverhaag/ConTeXtInstallation/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/context.mkxl
mtx-context     | current version: 2023.02.14 17:44

However the *lettrine* module doesn't seem to work anymore!

I use it like this:

*\usemodule[lettrine]*

*\setuplettrine[Lines=3,Image=no,Findent=0.7em,Nindent=0pt,FontHook={\MyColor}]*

These two commands are in my setup file.

Following error:

tex error       > tex error on line 36 in file deel3/hfdst1.tex: Control 
sequence expected instead of undefined

<macro> \m_syst_parameter_n

Any hint on this would be much of a help! Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Geert Verhaag

In mkiv and mkxl, we use

\placeinitial

rather than the obsolete (mkii) lettrine module.

See also \setupinitial.

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion Alan! I've been using lettrine all the time, 
without knowing it was actually obsolete, sorry!

I'm now trying the \placeinitial command but coloring like:

*\definecolor[MyColor] [r=.76,g=.72,b=.48]**
**\setupinitial[color=\MyColor,font=Bold sa 4,distance=0pt,n=3]*

doesn't seem to work! Is this as expected behaviour or a possible issue?

Regards,

Gerard Verhaag

Hi,

Unfortunately it doesn't help Keith, sorry!

I tried to solve it like this:

*\color[MyColor]{\placeinitial{K}}*

A bit overkill but it works!

Anyway, thanks for your suggestion!

The color key generally takes color _names_, i.e. color=MyColor
I didn’t check if it works with \setupinitial.

Hi,

Yes Hraban that worked! Thanks!

My next issue is adapting the font-family, because a want to use the 
*Antykwa-Poltawskiego* font|| as my initial. I tried the following:

*\definefont[InitialCapFont][name:antpoltcondregular*default sa 4]*

*\setupinitial[color=MyColor,distance=6pt,n=3,font=InitialCapFont]*

Has anybody any idea why this doesn't work?

Did you confirm that \InitialCapFont works outside of that setup?

I recently used initials with a simple "font=Serif at 37pt,", and that 
worked. Maybe the operator "sa" doesn’t work in this context? (IDK)

Hi,

Yes Hraban it works outside in normal text flow. When I do e.g. 
*{\InitialCapFont test in normal text flow}* the text '/test in normal 
text flow/' is rendered correctly in the Antykwa-Poltawskiego font.

Found out that the following does work with the *\placeinitial* command:

*\setupinitial[color=MyColor,distance=6pt,n=3,font=name:antpoltcondregular*default 
sa 4]*

So something weird is happening I suppose!

Hi Geert,

this works for me:

  \definefont[InitialCapFont][name:antpoltcondregular*default sa 4]
  %\setupinitial[style={\switchtobodyfont[helvetica]}]
  \setupinitial[color=red,distance=6pt,n=3, style=\InitialCapFont]

  \starttext
  \setinitial\input zapf
  \stoptext

BTW, I think there is an issue (that might be a bug), when either style
or font are in use, size is not automatically adapted.

Could anyone confirm with the commented line?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Hi Geert,

if you only provide commands, it is really hard to tell what is going on.

Please, always provide complete samples (otherwise, most of the help is
figuring out what the issue is really about).

Best,

Pablo

Hi all,

Alan, Pablo, many thanks for your help concerning the \placeinitial command.

Next time I'll try a minimal example so that anyone might be able to 
quickly test it with their current ConTeXt installation!

Sorry for any inconvenience!

Lettrine module not working?!

[Verhaag, G.C.H.M.]

Hi ConTeXt User's,

I'm currently experiencing problems using the lettrine module! I know 
from fairly recent (mail-archive!) issues related to this module but 
can't figure out why my setup isn't working anymore.

I use the following:

\lettrine[Image=no,Slope=-0.5em,Hang=0.2,Findent=0.7em]
{H}{et is ca. half tien} in de...

This yields the following error message:

<to be read again>
\def
\doifnextoptionalelse #1#2 -\def
\m_syst_action_yes {#1}\def \m_syst_action_...
\doLettrineFont ...a \LettrineHeight \definedfont
[LettrineFont at \the \!!d...
\dolettrine ...trineEPS {#2}\else \doLettrineFont
#2\fi \fi }}\setbox \Lettr...
l.27 {H}{et is ca. half tien}

Maybe something has changed in the arguments of which I'm unaware!

Regards,
Verhaag, G.C.H.M.
