Re: Strange problem with Blockquote

[Pablo Rodriguez <oinos@gmx.es>]

Hi Robert,

from what I get from your message, there is only one blockquote in the
introduction.

How about adding the following code before \starttext?

    \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart]
        \setupinterlinespace[small] % or whichever value you want
    \stopsectionblockenvironment

I think it might work. I hope it helps,

Pablo
