something (totally possible).
In a couple of cases I see \prevgraf being larger than number of lines
of previous paragraph, including lines for paragraph before than one as
well. Could not create a MWE unfortunately to reproduce this case so far.
I’ll try to amend my dropcaps/lettrine logic then. What are the reasons
behind this change in \prevgraf TeX primitive which AFAIK exists since
TeX has been written ? I thought that one of the strong points in TeX
was overall stability of its behaviour among versions. Here with this
semantic change in \prevgraf in recent luatex, this stability is a bit
broken IMO.
it's *not changed* in luatex .. context *itself* sets the prevgraf at
the next page as indicator of the left-over lines
say that you have:
XXX ------------------
XXX ------------------
----------------------
----------------------
- a page break between the first and second line is a bug in your code
- a page break after the second line is harmless and as we're on a new
page then there is nothing to be done i.e. prevgraf then is set to 2 (as
we have two lines if we look back)
say that you have:
XXX ------------------
XXX
- if you get a page break here, again there is nothing to be done as
you're on a next page
- if you need to pick up in the next pagagraph (on the same page) then
prevgraf is 1
so, what in your case does it mean that when your next paragraph is on
the next page you look at prevgraf? there is no need to hangindent as
your hanging stuff is on the previous page
also, in general prevgraf is kind of useless when you have lines higher
than lineheight so if you use a callback, you also should calculate the
real accumulated drop so far

but .. that one is then still on the same page; in fact, you should
check for realpage being changed then

prevgraf is still ok after a 7 line paragraph but ... when you cross a
page, and have say 4 lines moved to the next one, then a 7 line
hangafter would be wrong (you can check if a par is on the same page)
with callbacks after breaking in lines you still don't know ...
