No, I don't expect contex to make the right choice for me instead! That won't be possible,
of course: It ought to know, where syllables end. But then ... I'm asking me, why did you
send me this Knuth-text with many wrong "s"es and without any quotation at all?
Let's finish the discussion here. The subject was: "\quotation with yfrak-font?" and
we went off course. I thank you, Wolfgang and Hraban, for having answered!
Happy New Year to all contexters in the world!
Rudolf
