    not that I follow like a detective all your moves but viz For reasons I ignore, the indentation of the lettrine is broken. : there must be a \par. Because the closing of the environment cleans up the \parshape set up by lettrine package. Please always post complete MWE rather than just a few lines of code. Apart from that this uses your own \Lettrine from some other question but should be with \lettrine. (but then one needs a second, possibly empty, argument {}) Commented May 22, 2014 at 17:53

    In my answer I tell exactly why \let\oldemph\emph is to be avoided. Commented May 22, 2014 at 18:13
  • @egreg, in the case you detail, the copied command is used in the definition of the original one, what can makes infinite loops in the conditions you precise. I think it is not the case in my use case, but I should not have generalized. Commented May 22, 2014 at 19:53

    @lalebarde Follow \lettrine{F}{} by a \par before closing the environment if you want to get the indentation as expected. Did you notice that the original post dates back to Mar 9 '12 at 5:31? Commented May 22, 2014 at 20:11

    Thanks jfbu. I did notice yes, but as far as I have understood stackexchange, it is also a knowledge & know-how repository. Commented May 22, 2014 at 21:06
