[NTG-context] Quotations...
Hi,
it looks like there is something wrong with \quote, \quotation and the
respective setupcommands.
\setupquote[style=slanted] results in no quotation marks and yes, slanted text.
\setupquote[left=(,right=)] results in text between parentheses.
\setupquote[style=slanted,left=(,right=)] results in slanted text, but no
parentheses.
\setupquotation[style=bold] results in having the texts in \quote{} becoming
bold instead of the texts that are in \quotation{}.
\setupdelimitedtext [quotation][1][style=bold] does not result in bold text.
\setupdelimitedtext [quotation][1][style=bold,left{[},right={]}] does result in
text between brackets in \quotation{}, but no bold text.
Please refer to the attached example file.
Kind regards
Willi

[NTG-context] Quotations
I use \startquotation and \stopquotation a lot. I would like to visually strengthen the quotations because some are pretty lengthy and a reader might forget that it is not me that is writing here. I have been thinking about applying a light grey background or a border of sorts (which should then be open at the top of bottom if the quotation flows over a page boundary. Can someone tell me how to do this? Thanks, G ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

the following example (maybe one of the happy gwtex users can wikify it for
you) shows the principles
- cross page backgrounds
- dedicated background graphics that adapt
- a bit of tuning of margins
\starttext
\setupcolors[state=start]
\defineblank[myquotation][3*medium]
\definetextbackground
[myquotation]
[state=start,
location=paragraph,
%before={\blank[myquotation]\startnarrower},
%after={\stopnarrower\blank[myquotation]},
before={\blank[myquotation]},
after={\blank[myquotation]},
mp=mpos:par:poem]
\startuseMPgraphic{mpos:par:poem}
for i = 1 upto nofmultipars :
multipars[i] := multipars[i]
enlarged .5ExHeight
rightenlarged -.5ExHeight;
drawoptions (

withpen pencircle scaled 1.5pt
) ;
fill multipars[i] withcolor .8white ;
if multilocs[i] = 1 :
draw
llcorner multipars[i] --
ulcorner multipars[i] --
urcorner multipars[i] --
lrcorner multipars[i]
withcolor .5red ;
elseif multilocs[i] = 3 :
draw

else :
draw leftboundary multipars[i] withcolor .5red ;
draw rightboundary multipars[i] withcolor .5red ;
fi ;
endfor ;
