My question to your module: How can I customize the

\startannotation \stopannotation enovirnment,

s.t. it does not start with ", but with another symbol (or maybe without any symbol)?

The annotation module let you define a command/environment to collect text and format it in (nearly) any way you want, there is no distinction between \command{…} and \startcommand …\stopcommand. Copy this example and process it with context: \usemodule[annotation] \setuplayout [backspace=6cm, cutspace=2cm, width=middle] \setupannotation[color=blue] % one + two \defineannotation[one][alternative=paragraph] \defineannotation[two][alternative=text] % three \define[2]\ThreeCommand {\startframedtext[middle] #2 \stopframedtext} \defineannotation[three][alternative=command,command=\ThreeCommand] % four \startsetups [annotation:four] \startframedtext[width=broad,framecolor=red] \placeannotationcontent \doifsomething{\annotationparameter{author}}{\wordright{\annotationparameter{author}}} \stopframedtext \stopsetups \defineannotationalternative[four][renderingsetup=annotation:four] \defineannotation[four][alternative=four] \starttext \input knuth \one{\input ward } \input knuth \starttwo\input ward \stoptwo \input knuth \three{\input ward } \input knuth \startfour[author=Ward]\input ward \stopfour \input knuth \stoptext In the example above I define four annotation command, while the first two use predefined alternatives the third and fourth use ones I define in the document. The command “three” uses the “command” alternative which expects a command with two parameters, the first parameter can be used to print a title with the content of the “text” and “title” keys (not used in my example) and the second parameters prints the content of the command/environment. The “four” command (you could also have used \four[author=Ward]{\input ward } in the document) uses a different approach to define a customized layout. First you create a new alternative with \defineannotationalternative where you specify a setup. The setup itself is created with \startsetups … \stopsetups where you can use all context commands you like. Values from \setupannotation or optional arguments for \four or \startfour can be accessed with \annoationparameter{<key>}. Wolfgang
