Initial caps with short paragraph

Initial caps with short paragraph

[Thangalin]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 597 bytes --]

This has come up before on the mailing list, but I was wondering if LMTX
has a more elegant solution than using a transparent/invisible capture of
the drop-cap.

Consider:

\setupinitial[n=2, style=\tfd,
location=text]\setuphead[chapter][after={\placeinitial}]
\starttext
  \chapter

  Hello world!

  \input ward\stoptext

The output shows that the second paragraph is not indented beyond the
bounding box of the drop-cap, resulting in an overlap. This isn't a problem
when the first paragraph spans two or more lines.

Any ideas for how to resolve this without changing the content?

Thank you!

all is possible but in a complex system with lots of possible 
interactions it will never be robust (especially carrying over stuff 
across paragraphs and page boundaries)

I'll provide

\forgetinitial

and maybe some more clever hack but then i first have to play more with 
some new features (there are a bunch awaiting experiments).
