[NTG-context] on block quotes

3 Nov 2007

      Dear Hans, wolfgang, and the rest of the gang,

How about adding something like this to the distribution:

================================
\definedelimitedtext
	[blockquote][quote]

\setupdelimitedtext
	[blockquote]
	[location=margin,
      	left=,
	right=,
      	leftmargin=standard,
	]
================================

I'm working on a context utility that I want to distribute when done and  
we need a standard, quotes-empty blockquote mechanism. This way we can  
leave \quote and \quotation alone.

Best wishes
Idris

there is no perfect solution in ConTeXt because the \quotation and the
\start/stopquotation commands are defined with the same definition and
it is
not possible to disable the quote marks for the one and enable it for  
the
other,
but you can use ConTeXt's mechanism for nested quotations and redefine
the
other one.
\setupdelimitedtext
  [quotation]
  [1]
  [left={\symbol[leftquotation]},
   right={\symbol[rightquotation]}]
\setupdelimitedtext
  [quotation]
  [2]
  [left={\symbol[leftquote]},
   right={\symbol[rightquote]}]
\setupdelimitedtext
  [quote]
  [location=margin, % paragraph
   left=,
   right=,
   before={\blank[big]},
   after={\blank[big]}]
