Hi all, In a text with some fairly long quotations I want to have these quotations without their quotation marks, not indented and set in small type. Thanks to the ConTeXt wiki I found I could fulfill two of the three requirements by using
\setupdelimitedtext[blockquote][style={\setupbodyfont[9pt]},
use \switchtobodyfont rather than setupbodyfont.
and \startblockquote (text of the quotation) \blank \stopblockquote,
but I still get the unwanted indenting. In the main text I want indenting of the first lines of most new paragraphs, so I have \setupindenting[20pt,yes] in the preamble, but I do not want it in the quotations. Placing \noindent at the beginning of the quotation does not do anything.
To make context ignore indenting of a signle paragraph, use \noindentation. delimited text does not offer control of indentation inside the environment, but offers sufficient hooks to enable manipulation of indentations. If you want paragraphs inside the quotation to be indented use the following (if not, replace noindentation with noindenting) \definedelimitedtext[LongQuote] [style={\switchtobodyfont[9pt]}, spacebefore=medium, before=\noindentation, % also \noindenting, ] \setupindenting[big,yes] \starttext \input ward \startLongQuote \input knuth \par \stopLongQuote \input ward \stoptext Aditya
