...that does not remove the need to insert \par's in between paragraphs.
Right, although I think that the \par, or blank line, should go after the \stopdelimitedtext in some cases. I was imagining (and using) quotations within a single larger paragraph, for example: Blah, blah, blah says: Ideas A, B and C. But those ideas are nonsense. where the "Ideas A, B, and C." are indeed a paragraph but internal to the single surrounding paragraph, like a displayed equation would be. Then it could be typeset: Blah, blah, blah says: \startblockquote Ideas A, B and C. \stopblockquote But those ideas are nonsense. On to the next paragraph... Rather, it could be typeset that way if the TeX paragraph builder didn't have the constant linespacing restriction (or maybe with \vadjust). -Sanjoy `Until lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunters.' --African Proverb
