Hi Wolfgang,

Many thanks for your explanations.
If I may ask a further question, I would like to know at which level one can 
control whether the first argument of the quotation in the example
        \MyQuotation{Wolfgang Schuster}{The annotation module is wonderful!}
is surrounded or not by parentheses?
I am asking this because I defined for my own use a macro which replaces the 
\proclaim command of Plain TeX (which disappeared in ConTeXt): I am thinking of 
switching to use the annotation module, since maybe with that it should be 
possible to have a list of all anotations of a certain type (for instance list 
of all theorems, all lemmas, etc) with the page at which they appear. Also with 
the annotations environment it seems that one can have more fancy layouts for 
proclaims.

My definition of proclaim works only with mkii (somehow in mkiv the section 
number does not appear when numbering the proclaimed stuff…).
The example is below.

Best regards: OK

%% defining \proclaim which is built in Plain-teX
%% but has disappeared from ConTeXt
\defineenumeration[proclaim]
        [text=,
        style=slanted,
        title=yes,
        titleleft=,
        titleright=,
        location=serried,
        width=fit,
        right={.~}]
\setupnumber[proclaim][way=bysection,numbersection=yes] % maybe one has to 
change this in mkiv?
%% end definition \proclaim

\starttext

When there is not a declared section the numbers have no prefix as in the 
following:

\startproclaim[def:test]{Definition}
This is a definition.
\stopproclaim

\startproclaim{Lemma}
This is a lemma.
\stopproclaim

\section{Here is a section}

When there is a declared section the numbers have as prefix the section number, 
as in the following:

\startproclaim{Lemme}
Here is another lemma.
\stopproclaim

\startproclaim[thm:result]{Theorem}
This is our main theorem.
\stopproclaim

\stoptext
