== Description ==
Define a style to apply only to the first line of a paragraph.
Once defined, the style can be applied by invoking
{{cmd|setfirstlinestyle}} on a paragraph.
One of two methods can be requested by setting the keyword
<code>alternative</code>:
* ''line'' applies the style to the entire line,
* ''word'' applies the style only to the first <code>n</code> words of the first line.
''NB'':
The style substitution takes place on node level, hence small capitals
require a font which implements them as a feature, not as a separate
file
(e. g. as of 2013
[[Wishes_for_Latin_Modern#General_things|Latin Modern won’t do]]).
== Example ==
Typeset the first line once in bold, and then in small caps:
<context mode=mkiv source=yes>
\setupbodyfont [heros] %% important: smallcaps capable font!
\definefirstline [italicfirstline] [
alternative=line,
style=italic,
]
\definefirstline [smallcapsfirstline] [
alternative=line,
color=darkred,
style=smallcaps,
]
\starttext
\setfirstline[italicfirstline] \input knuth \par
\setfirstline[smallcapsfirstline] \input knuth \par
\stoptext
</context>
To affect only the first three or six words change to the alternative
''word'' and set the parameter <code>n</code> to the desired value:
<context mode=mkiv source=yes>
\definefirstline [threegreenwords] [
alternative=word,
color=green,
n=3,
]
\definefirstline [sixbluewords] [
alternative=word,
color=blue,
n=6,
]
\starttext
\setfirstline[threegreenwords] \input ward \par
\setfirstline[sixbluewords] \input ward \par
\stoptext
</context>
