Subject: Capitalize first word of first line within \startlines
Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2020 08:09:25 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAANrE7qVaU3-rhegaUO1fX4mZcbKmRGnQY2xywP+7PH4vZx5EA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Looking to uppercase the first word of a poem:

\setupindenting[yes, 0.75em]

\setupinitial[
  state=start,
  n=2,
  distance=\zeropoint,
]

% This does not appear to work?
\definealternativestyle[PoemFirstWord][\WORD][]

\definefirstline[PoemFirstLine][
  alternative=word,
  style=PoemFirstWord,
  n=1,
]

\definestartstop[poem][
  before={\startlines \setfirstline[PoemFirstLine] \placeinitial},
  after={\stoplines},
]

\setuplines[indenting=odd]

\starttext
\startpoem
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great,
And would suffice.
\stoppoem
\stoptext

Any ideas why the first word is not capitalized?

Thank you!
