If you were to add a start-stopquotation block to Wolfgang's example, you'd see that the resulting paragraph has lost its narrowness. Is there a way to allow quotes to protrude into the left margin while preserving the narrowness of start-stopquotation blocks? My own solution is not to \setupquotation[method=font] but to define a delimited text environment whose method=font, and use it when a paragraph begins with a quotation.

I have attached my own mwe. You can toggle the \setquotation command with --mode=font.

Does anyone have a more elegant, or better yet, a correct solution?

With kind regards,

Michael

Thank you both for your help. Additionally, I needed to make sure that
\setupbodyfont comes after all this. But now I've finally got the
margin-potruding quotations of my dreams.
