Great, thanks, I'll wikify. Is that lmtx-only or will it work in mkiv?
Denis

You switch directions when we're still in vertical mode, so you need:
\startblockquote
\dontleavehmode\righttoleft\ignorespaces
\input knuth
\stopblockquote
I can add this:
\permanent\protected\def\rtltext
{\groupedcommand{\dontleavehmode\righttoleft\ignorespaces}\removeunwantedspaces}
\permanent\protected\def\ltrtext
{\groupedcommand{\dontleavehmode\lefttoright\ignorespaces}\removeunwantedspaces}
but only when you wikify it
\startblockquote
\rtltext{\input{knuth}}
\stopblockquote
