Hi guys,

Is it possible to set the first line of an indented paragraph in a different font? I saw it in a book. There, the first line was indented to half the line width (\setupindenting[yes, .5\textwidth]) and set in smallcaps.

Yes it is possible but it stops when the indentation gets too large.

There seems to be a few other problems because the spaces between the words are too wide and it gets worse with increased indentation.

%%%% begin example
\definefirstline
  [smallcaps]
  [alternative=line,
   style=\setsmallcaps]

\setupbodyfont [pagella]

% even with wider lines the formatting of the first line stops
% \setuppapersize[A4,landscape]

\starttext

% \setupindenting[yes,.5tw]
% \setfirstline[smallcaps]
% \samplefile{lorem}

\doloopoverlist{0,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5}
  {\setupindenting[yes,\recursestring\textwidth]
   \inleft{\recursestring}
   \setfirstline[smallcaps]
   \samplefile{lorem}
   \blank}

\stoptext
%%%% end example

Wolfgang
