Dear all,





I try to typeset some text with dropcaps which are pdf files in a 2 column text. I came up with 3 possibilities as shown in the sample below (attached D1.pdf). So far best solution seems to use the lettrine module, but I wondered if it would be possible to cope with the issue with figure and text overlapping if the first paragraph is very short (ie avoid using \\) ? Had a look to lettrine module source and wondered where I could find some documentation on the low level ConTeXt commands used in there ? For example to amend the code to avoid Lines= and use the actual figure size.


Sample follows:


\definecolumnset[TwoColumns][n=2]


\usemodule[lettrine]


\starttext


\startcolumnset [TwoColumns]


\placefigure[left,none]{}{\externalfigure[D1.pdf]} % how to have left side figure with text wrapping around it ?
This is a first paragraph.


\input tufte


\starthanging{\externalfigure[D1.pdf]}
This is a first paragraph.\\ % how to have \par here ?
\input tufte
\stophanging


\lettrine[Image=yes, Lines=4, Nindent=0pt, Findent=0.5em]{D1.pdf} % avoid Lines and use actual figure size ?
This is a first paragraph.\\ % how to have \par here ?
\input tufte


\stopcolumnset


\stoptext



Thanks

Regards


Joseph Canedo
