I'm not really sure honestly, but it seems this is what I was asking for to be the default behavior, and which is in most places (LaTeX, HTML, DocBook, Word, etc.) called "blockquote."
so, do we choose blockquote as name for the display quotation with no whitespace around it?
I was throwing it out there for comment from others. My point is that there should be a clear analog to the blockquote structures as they work in other systems here. It makes it easier for me as a user, and also easier to map code from DocBook and so forth to ConTeXt, and vice versa (relevant if we see a ConTeXt --> HTML converter). But, I can also say that it is not uncommon for me to be confused by ConTeXt naming schemes, so maybe I just don't get a logic that is there but I just don't always see.
So here I can turn off the symbols?
yes, and a bit more (although for non-quotes things startnarrower may be a better solution)
My point is that, in my experience, long set off quotations (block quotes) do not have quotation marks. They are, however, still "quotes." Bruce
