Massi and list,
There is one issue with \startlinecorrection of which you should be aware. The text is set in a vbox. If the block quotation it encloses (or whatever text it encloses) does not fit on the current page, a page break will be generated. This makes it useless with quotes near the bottom of a page. Enclosed texts longer than a page run over the bottom margin of the new page.
Thank you Rik, I overlooked that (and now I'm reading Hans' reply about line correction being for framed material and not for quotations). I need to decide whether to - turn off grid snapping and adjust every single quotation or - turn grid snapping on, benefit from line correction most of the time and manually adjust the cases where a quotation is across a page boundary It depends on the texts I'm working on. This question reminds me the chapter about line profiling in the "Still" manual. There's no general, fully automated solution.
It would be nice to have an alternative that does not have that limitation.
Hans talked about that at the last ConTeXt Meeting. If I understand well, it's very hard to calculate how much of the vertical space of the page TeX has used. And once it flushes the page, it frees the memory and forgets about it. Add inserts like footnotes to the problem and it gets really hard. Best regards, Massi
