> \input knuthDear Alan, Aditya, and everybody else, thanks for your efforts, but I’m afraid that you were being mislead about my intentions. I am (probably mis-)using the lettrine module in order to fake the Knuthian \danger and \ddanger macros in auto-generated context code. One of the main goals is, other than pure convenience on my part, that understanding of the resulting code requires only knowledge of high-level context macros, not of high-level tex wizardry. Of course I could start with texbook, p. 419, and try to adapt it to context (seems to be non-trivial), but even if I should succeed, the effort necessary to understand what’s going on is huge compared to when using a well-known and well-documented module. That’s why I rather do without autoindentation, as it concerns only the layout of the manual, not the code itself. @Aditya, I couldn’t get your code to work, neither in mkii nor in mkiv. Anyways, I wasn’t aware of \setup/placeinitial before so I learned something new today.
