My current book contains a lot of quotations with their sources marked as
footnotes, e.g.
\definedelimitedtext[Zitat][
%setups=Zitat, % doesn’t work!?
left=»,
right=«,
leftmargin=2em,
rightmargin=1.5em,
]
\startZitat
A rose is a rose is a rose.\footnote{Marx brothers}
\stopZitat
Now, since the quotations are whole sentences or paragraphs, the footnote
marker needs to be placed _after_ the closing quotation mark. (German
typography, I learned it’s different at least in US English.)
I tried several approaches e.g. with my own single start/stop macros that call
\start/stopnarrower or \start/stopZitat – that always lead to unclosed
environments.
* Only the delimitedtext approach gives a hanging opening quotation mark (which
looks nice and I’d like to have).
* \stopnarrower within a macro doesn’t seem to work (all following text stays
narrower).
* I can’t get rid of that space introduced by the CR before \stop – didn’t find
a place where \gobblespacetokens works, maybe that’s the wrong command.
Most preferred would be a solution that checked if there’s a footnote in front
of \stopZitat and would put the closing quotation mark in front instead of
after. Without a footnote it would just place the mark.
Something like \stopZitat\footnote{...} would also be nice, but I guess that’s
too far outside of TeX’s logic.
In the worst case I’d need to typeset the closing mark manually.
Some hints please?
