That one uses a \cite command, but it could also be a footnote, or an Author's name or a wikipedia entry. \setupquotation[right={''\footnote{First}}] is not usable because it gets fed into \symbol[] and many things do not work well in that case (the \footnote, for example, disappears). Taco Oliver wrote:
The disappearing footnote may be unfixable within \startquotation. It
would be easier to define your own start-stop pair for this, because \startquotation ... \stopquotation doesn't actually support tacking on stuff at the end. Try this instead:
\long\def\startcitedquotation[#1]#2\stopcitedquotation {\bgroup \par \startnarrower \symbol[leftquotation]% #2\removeunwantedspaces \symbol[rightquotation]% \cite[#1] \stopnarrower \par \egroup}
Works like a charm! Thanks very much for the workaround ... I've adapted it slightly so that the optional argument is treated as generic text ... in order to use \cite[], \footnote{\cite[]} or whatever else I need. Could this optional argument perhaps be integrated directly in the usual \startquotation command some day? I guess a lot of people will need this ... every quotation calls for a proper reference ;-) Cheers, Oliver ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message: I think that the reason for \cite and \footnote not working is this because the parameter right is typeset inside a \hsmash. For example see the output of \hsmash{Footnote lost\footnote{test}} I do not know why this is happening, but perhaps the following may help a guru \setbox0=\hbox{This is a test\footnote{Box Zero}} \setbox1=\hbox{This is a test\footnote{Box One}} \box0 %Only footnote mark is present \unhbox1 %Both footnote mark and the footnote is present One way to fix this is to redefine \rightdelimitedmark not to use a \hsmash \def\rightdelimitedtextmark {\delimitedtextparameter\c!right} % was {\hsmash{\delimitedtextparameter\c!right}} I do not know why the \hsmash is there so this may break something. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://foundry.supelec.fr/tracker/?func=detail&atid=164&aid=63&group_id=21
