[Texmacs-dev] Drop-caps

[Rónán Daly]

Hello,

I'm currently trying to write a style package for TeXmacs that make it 
easy to insert drop caps into paragraphs similar to the lettrine package 
for latex

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/lettrine/doc/

This is the first time I've tried writing something like this. Currently 
I've got this

<assign|drop-cap|
        <\macro|cap|text>
<no-indent>
<move|<with|font-size|<times|<value|font-size>|
<plus|2|<over|<value|par-sep>|1fn>>>|<arg|cap>>||-1bls>
<with|font-shape|small-caps|<arg|text>>
  \;
</macro>>

At the moment, the cap isn't the right size, I have to work out a better 
way of calculating it.

The problem I have at the moment is that when the text after this macro 
wraps around at the right of the page, it appears _under_ the cap as 
opposed to the bottom right of it. Is there any way to make this occur? 
I'm also wondering if there's a command like the latex parshape one which 
can give you arbitrary paragraph breaking.

Thanks for your help

Ronan
