Texto digitado imediatamente antes de \lettrine cair em maiúscula

Question

Como adiciono texto na 'barra lateral'? Estou ciente de que 'barra lateral' provavelmente é a palavra errada a ser usada. Por favor, deixe-me saber qual é o termo correto. Estou me referindo ao texto à esquerda da letra maiúscula ("O Dia de Ação de Graças".)

Algumas dicas: estou trabalhando na replicação de umFólio de 72 páginas do Livro Episcopal de Oração Comum de 1785. Estou fazendo isso por diversão e para garantir que mais pessoas tenham acesso fácil à maravilhosa prosa do BCP de 1785. Sou novo no LaTeX e trabalho com a linguagem há apenas alguns dias. Ah, e usei o ABBYY FineReader Pro 11 para o trabalho de OCR. As boas pessoas da sede da ABBYY precisam receber o memorando sobre pessoas que usam OCR em documentos antigos - o programa deles acha que o s longo é uma merda!

Meu código é:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lettrine}
\usepackage{fontspec}
    \defaultfontfeatures{Ligatures={Historical}}
    \setmainfont[Ligatures={Common,Rare}]{Adobe Caslon Pro}

\begin{document}
   \lettrine{T}{O} our prayers, O Lord, we join our unfeigned thanks for all thy
   mercies; for our being, our reaſon, and all other endowments and faculties of ſoul
   and body; for our health, friends, food, and raiment, and all the other comforts and
   conveniences of life. Above all we adore thy mercy in ſending thy only Son into the
   world to redeem us from ſin and eternal death, and in giving us the knowledge and           
   ſenſe of our duty towards thee. We bleſs thee for thy patience with us, notwithſtanding
   our many and great provocations; for all the directions, aſſiſtances, and comforts of thy
   Holy Spirit; for thy continual care and watchful providence over us through the whole
   courſe of our lives; and particularly for the mercies and benefits of the paſt day:
   Beſecching thee to continue theſe thy bleſſings to us; and to give is grace to ſhow
   our thankfulneſs in a ſincere obedience to his laws through whoſe merits and
   interceſſion we received them all, thy Son our Saviour Jeſus Chriſt. \textit{Amen.}
\end{document}

Obrigado!

PS: Procurando artigos sobre como aprender LaTeX (especialmente para pessoas com LD) e como se envolver neste Stack.
PPS: Descobri que “Nós te abençoamos por tua paciência conosco” realmente falou comigo. O BCP moderno (e, francamente, as orações em geral) raramente abençoam a Deus – geralmente são intercessões pela bênção de Deus. Pena que isso foi removido das versões posteriores.

Answer 1

Que tal agora:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lettrine}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\defaultfontfeatures{Ligatures={Historical}}
\setmainfont[Ligatures={Common,Rare}]{Adobe Caslon Pro}

\newcommand \prelude[1] {\makebox[8em][c]{\em\scriptsize #1.}}

\begin{document}
   \lettrine[ante={\prelude{The Thanksgiving}}, loversize=0.1]{T}{O} 
   our prayers, O Lord, we join our unfeigned thanks for all thy
   mercies; for our being, our reaſon, and all other endowments and faculties of ſoul
   and body; for our health, friends, food, and raiment, and all the other comforts and
   conveniences of life. Above all we adore thy mercy in ſending thy only Son into the
   world to redeem us from ſin and eternal death, and in giving us the knowledge and           
   ſenſe of our duty towards thee. We bleſs thee for thy patience with us, notwithſtanding
   our many and great provocations; for all the directions, aſſiſtances, and comforts of thy
   Holy Spirit; for thy continual care and watchful providence over us through the whole
   courſe of our lives; and particularly for the mercies and benefits of the paſt day:
   Beſecching thee to continue theſe thy bleſſings to us; and to give is grace to ſhow
   our thankfulneſs in a ſincere obedience to his laws through whoſe merits and
   interceſſion we received them all, thy Son our Saviour Jeſus Chriſt. \qquad \textit{Amen.}
\end{document}

Answer 2

A resposta de Jon acima está absolutamente correta, mas pensei em adicionar uma implementação LaTeX-y mais automatizada da solução. LaTeX trata de marcar seu documento de forma lógica, certo? O uso de ambientes permite manter partes lógicas inteiras do documento consistentes.

Cada oração que você reproduzir, presumo, terá algumas coisas em comum:

• capital abandonado
• um título à esquerda da letra maiúscula (como na sua imagem)
• Amémno final.

Vamos construir algo a partir disso:

\usepackage{xparse}
\NewDocumentEnvironment{prayer}{m m m}{%
  \lettrine[ante=\prelude{#1}]{#2}{#3}%
}{
  \unskip % removes excess space
  \qquad
  \textit{Amen.}\par
}

Isso é muito bom – agora podemos falar sobre orações como

\begin{prayer}{The Thanksgiving}{T}{O}
  our prayers, ...
\end{prayer}

e ter todo esse trabalho feito para nós.

---

Observe que agora não podemos usar esse loversizetruque que Jon observou. Podemos colocá-lo como um argumento opcional para permitir que:

\usepackage{xparse}
\NewDocumentEnvironment{prayer}{O{} m m m}{%
  \lettrine[ante=\prelude{#2},#1]{#3}{#4}%
}{
  \unskip % removes excess space
  \qquad
  \textit{Amen.}\par
}

Agora também podemos ficar bonitos!

\begin{prayer}[loverline=.15]{The Thanksgiving}{T}{O}
  our prayers, ...
\end{prayer}

---

E se quisermos também definir opcionalmente a largura da 'barra lateral' (também não sei como chamá-la…)? Você não pode definir dois argumentos opcionais com \newcommand (ou seu amigo newenvironment), mas xparsepode fazer isso:

\usepackage{xparse}
\NewDocumentEnvironment{prayer}{O{} m O{8em} m m}{%
  % note I've taken out \prelude now; it is no longer general enough.
  \lettrine[ante={\makebox[#3][c]{\itshape\scriptsize #2.}}, #1]{#4}{#5}%
}{
  \unskip
  \qquad
  \textit{Amen.}\par
}

---

Na verdade, xparseé extremamente poderoso: pode definir algumas sintaxes bastante convenientesmuitofacilmente. (Veja texdoc xparse, especialmente a página 2.) Considere o exemplo completocom quem ainda estou brincando.

% Starts an environment like this:

%   Will automatically drop the first letter encountered and continue

\NewDocumentEnvironment{prayer}{O{} m O{8em} m u{\endl}}{%

                 {\makebox[#3][c]{\itshape\scriptsize #2.}}},
            #1]%
           {#4}{#5}%
}{
  \unskip
  \qquad
  \textit{Amen.}\par
}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\begin{prayer}[loversize=.15]{The Thankſgiving}
  TO \endl our prayers, O Lord, we join our unfeigned thanks for all thy mercies;

\end{document}

que produz o seguinte:

(A única alteração adicional que fiz foi aumentar ligeiramente o texto da 'barra lateral' com \raisebox. Acho que fica um pouco mais próximo desta forma.)

Answer 3

Uma variação da solução de Sean, com sintaxe simplificada; o texto “prelúdio” é fornecido como uma opção \lettrine, é apenas uma questão de definir uma nova tonalidade. A largura deste prelúdio é, por padrão, a largura natural, cercada por um quadrante em ambas as extremidades. Uma prewidthchave pode ser fornecida para alterar esta largura, conforme mostrado nos exemplos.

O padrão loversizepode ser modificado no preâmbulo, portanto não é necessário especificá-lo a cada utilização.

\begin{prayer}[prewidth=8em,prelude=The Thankſgiving]{T}{O}
our prayers, O Lord, we join our unfeigned thanks for all thy mercies;

\end{prayer}
\end{document}

Portanto a sintaxe de \begin{prayer}é igual à sintaxe de \lettrine.

O “Amém” é definido a duas quadras da última palavra (não é permitida quebra de linha); no código é mostrado como empurrá-lo para a margem direita, se desejar.

Para prelúdios de duas linhas, aqui está uma possibilidade: substitua o código de \makeatletterpara \makeatotherpor

\usepackage{varwidth}
\makeatletter
\define@key{L}{prelude}{%
  \renewcommand*{\L@ante}{%
    \quad
    \makebox[\L@prewidth][c]{%
      \begin{varwidth}[t]{12em}
      \em\scriptsize #1.
      \end{varwidth}%
    }\quad
  }%
}
\define@key{L}{prewidth}{\renewcommand*{\L@prewidth}{#1}}
\newcommand{\L@prewidth}{\width}
\renewcommand{\DefaultLoversize}{0.15}
\makeatother

Então a entrada

\begin{prayer}[
  prelude=The Thankſgiving\\ and Chriſtmas
]{T}{O}
our prayers, O Lord, we join our unfeigned thanks for all thy mercies;
for our being, our reaſon, and all other endowments and faculties of
