Dear all,
I am preparing a newsletter for our group on the history of settlement
in Ireland. I would like to use a drop capital at the start of
articles. I think I remember a file explaining how to do this in
Context but I can't find it now. Can anyone tell me the code to use or
give me the url of the file (if I am not just imagining this).
Thanks,
Charlie Doherty

I found that a few months ago Hans answered this to someone on the list:

Best regards: OK

Here my working sample:
--------------------------
\def\MyDroppedCaps%
{\DroppedCaps
{} {uplr8t}
{2\baselineskip} {3pt} {\baselineskip} {2}}
\useencoding[win]
\mainlanguage[de]
\starttext
\MyDroppedCaps Z{\sc wei} Konstanten regieren die Proportionen eines gut
gemachten Buches\kern.2em: Hand und Auge.
Das gesunde Auge ist immer um zwei Spannen von der Buchseite entfernt,
und alle Menschen fassen Bücher
auf die gleiche Weise an.
