This version is just a single tool from a larger body of tools I am
unlikely to implement. I wrote this in 1999 in response to a request
on \texttt{comp.text.tex}.
\medskip
\noindent Features:\\[4pt]
\begin{tabular}{@{}rl@{}}
Yes & Special formatting for first line of text in a paragraph \\
No & Special formatting for for first $n$ lines (allow each different) \\
No & Also for first character (drop caps) (working together) \\
No & ``Continued on''/``continued from'' markers (like fwlw) \\
No & wrapfig spanning columns \\
No & wrapfig placed at fixed location on page \\
No & Integration with shapepar \\
NO! & Piecing together fragments of gallies to fit page (maybe flowfram)
\end{tabular}
\minisec{Instructions:}
The \cmd{\FirstLine} command takes one argument: Some text.
The first line of this text will be formatted according to
\cmd{\FirstLineFont}; but if the text occupies less than a line, all
that text (and no more) will be affected by \cmd{\FirstLineFont}.
The argument should be ordinary text, not lists and displayed
equations. Such things will give you a `Bad text' error.
This command is intended to be used in a replacement for a normal
sectioning command in a document class; \cmd{\paragraph} would be
appropriate. In particular, this \cmd{\paragraph} (or whatever) should
insert vertical space and penalties etc.,\ and probably \cmd{\noindent}
at the start of the argument. The document class should also define
\cmd{\FirstLineFont} appropriately as either a switch or a text-command;
as in \verb+\renewcommand\FirstLineFont{\MakeUppercase}+. The defult
definition performed in \pkg{magaz.sty} is
\verb+\providecommand\FirstLineFont{\scshape}+.
