From TeX.SE, the following solution works; however, it doesn't feel like the "ConTeXt way": % SOT \setuplocalboxes[leftmargin][ style=\bfd, color=darkred, distance=0pt, ] \unprotect \define\quoteinitial{% \futureexpandisap“\quoteinitial_true\quoteinitial_false% } \define\quoteinitial_true{% \localmargintext[leftmargin]{“}% \expandafter\placeinitial% \gobbleoneargument% } \let\quoteinitial_false\placeinitial \protect \starttext \quoteinitial “We held ConTeXt in high esteem.” \samplefile{bryson} \quoteinitial We held ConTeXt in high esteem. \samplefile{bryson} \stoptext %EOT Any suggestions for how to improve it?
