Ok. As for the strange things happening I was able to hunt them down and prepare a simple example (still with the standard \startquotation):
We are looking into this. All footnotes in vertical mode are behaving oddly.
Thanks!
I tried that one but ran into several problems unfortunately. If \cite inserts anything but a tiny string these words won't be wrapped properly onto a new line. Also if I replace \cite[#1] by \footnote {\cite[#1]} then there will be no footnote at all :-(
The missing linebreak is probably realted to the problem as in the other thread, so you just have to wait a little bit longer, until that is fixed for this problem to magically go away as well.
Yep, I'll be waiting for some black magic ;-)
The disappearing footnote may be unfixable within \startquotation. It would be easier to define your own start-stop pair for this, because \startquotation ... \stopquotation doesn't actually support tacking on stuff at the end. Try this instead:
\long\def\startcitedquotation[#1]#2\stopcitedquotation {\bgroup \par \startnarrower \symbol[leftquotation]% #2\removeunwantedspaces \symbol[rightquotation]% \cite[#1] \stopnarrower \par \egroup}
Works like a charm! Thanks very much for the workaround ... I've adapted it slightly so that the optional argument is treated as generic text ... in order to use \cite[], \footnote{\cite[]} or whatever else I need. Could this optional argument perhaps be integrated directly in the usual \startquotation command some day? I guess a lot of people will need this ... every quotation calls for a proper reference ;-) Cheers, Oliver
