We use “[...]” in quotations to indicate departures from the written text.

In the latest beta, “[...]” is a problem in block quotations and [] does not appear in the output.

\setupdelimitedtext
[blockquote]
[before={\blank[small,fixed]},
after={\blank[small,fixed]}]

\starttext
[t]he quotation goes as follows:
\startblockquote

\startblockquote\relax

[t]he science of astrology was developed in, most probably,
\stopblockquote
\input ward
\stoptext

“[...]” is OK in the body text and “[]” appears in the output.

But, in the block quotation, “[…]” gets the error message:

The \startblockquote command has a optional argument (which is passed to \startnarrower)
and you have to stop ConTeXt to use [t] as the argument for the command.
