Thanks. Block quotes are ok now.

But this case is not:

... het \taal[NH]{\it Département de l'Escaut}\taal[nl] was tegen de plannen gekant ...

In the output, Dé-partement is still being hyphenated. Only when I put the \taal[NH] at the beginning of the paragraph, Département isn't hyphenated.

Of course I can add \hyphenation{Département} in the environment, or use \nohyphens{Département} (thanks, Hans), but it is too much work to do this for all words in all citations and names. I'm typesetting a large (still changing) text, so I prefer a solution that automatically takes care of this.

question for taco: how exactly does tex treat language changes mid paragraph?

What will work, is setting the TeX primitive \language to a value that does not have associated patterns (-1 is a possibility, but usually 255 also works). In the next bit of context code, there will be no hyphenation:

\starttext \normallanguage -1 \hsize = 0pt \input zapf \language[en] \stoptext

(babel has a language definition 'nohyph', precisely for this)

Hope this helps,

I now have: \definieer\stophyph{\bgroup\normallanguage-1} \definieer\starthyph{\egroup} Now I say \stophyph right before a citation and \starthyph right after it. This seems to work. Maybe not an elegant solution, but I'm happy. Tanks! Peter.
