Big double quotes
Hello, I am trying to reproduce as closely as possible the large double quotes in the attached file. Though the actual glyph of the double quotes is not important for me (I have gone through the glyphs for CM without any success!), I would like to keep the double quotes large to attract attention to the quote. So I have essentially two problems: 1. Get a close enough glyph. I tried standard double quotes and also tried to use ′′ (U+02033) with context name *m: doubleprime*. But it doesn't produce anything. Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong. 2. Whatever may be the glyph, make is large. I have tried *\quotation* environment but it enlarges the text as well. I didn't see any option for enlarging *only* the quotation marks in *typo-del.mkiv*. So I tried to enlarge them myself. However, this leaves a large interlinespace before the last sentence. I would be grateful for any suggestions though outright solutions won't go remiss. Devendra *MWE* \setupdelimitedtext [quotation] [style={\tfc}] \definefont [quotesStyle] [Serif at 20pt] \starttext %\getnamedglyphdirect{modern}{m: doubleprime} %\getnamedglyphdirect{modern}{second} {\quotesStyle \symbol[leftquotation]}This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.{\quotesStyle \symbol[rightquotation]} \blank \startquotation This is would be interesting. \stopquotation \stoptext

Here are two solutions, one uses the delimitedtext mechanism. The quotation marks are not printed within the quoted text, though. The second solution using the annotation module fixes that. \usemodule [annotation] \definesymbol [MyLeftQuote] [\raisebox-10pt\hbox\bgroup\getscaledglyph {2.5} %% scale {Serif} %% font {“}\egroup] \definesymbol [MyRightQuote] [\raisebox-10pt\hbox\bgroup\getscaledglyph {2.5} %% scale {Serif} %% font {”}\egroup] \setupdelimitedtext [quotation] [left={\symbol[MyLeftQuote]}, right={\symbol[MyRightQuote]}] \defineannotation [quotationTwo] [alternative=command, command=\QuotationCmd] \define[2]\QuotationCmd {\dontleavehmode\symbol[MyLeftQuote]%% \placeannotationcontent\symbol[MyRightQuote]} \starttext \startquotation \input ward \stopquotation \startquotationTwo \input ward \stopquotationTwo \stoptext Marco

\usemodule [annotation]
\definesymbol [MyLeftQuote] [\raisebox-10pt\hbox\bgroup\getscaledglyph {2.5} %% scale {Serif} %% font {"}\egroup]
\definesymbol [MyRightQuote] [\raisebox-10pt\hbox\bgroup\getscaledglyph {2.5} %% scale {Serif} %% font {"}\egroup]
\setupdelimitedtext [quotation] [left={\symbol[MyLeftQuote]}, right={\symbol[MyRightQuote]}]
\defineannotation [quotationTwo] [alternative=command, command=\QuotationCmd]
\define[2]\QuotationCmd {\dontleavehmode\symbol[MyLeftQuote]%% \placeannotationcontent\symbol[MyRightQuote]} There is an extra space before the right quote. So I added *\hskip-5pt* before \symbol[MyRightQuote].
Thank you for the solution. Regards, Devendra
