Subject: [NTG-context] Combine \setupdelimitedtext with an author (define custom variable?)
Date: Thu, 06 Jun 2024 12:30:24 +0200 [thread overview]

Hi,
I like to achieve something that looks like this:
```
\definedelimitedtext[extract][blockquote]
\setupdelimitedtext
[extract]
[leftmargin=1.5pc,
style={\italic},
before={\setupindenting[next]},
after={\blank[1ex] \hrule \blank[1ex] \startalignment[flushright] \tfx\italic{René Descartes} \stopalignment}]
\starttext
\startextract
Cogito ergo sum.
\stopextract
\stoptext
```
So it should setup a quotation and mentions the author.
However, here the author is hardcoded within the blockquote. I would like it to use like this:
```
\definedelimitedtext[extract][blockquote]
\setupdelimitedtext
[extract]
[leftmargin=1.5pc,
style={\italic},
before={\setupindenting[next]},
after={\blank[1ex] \hrule \blank[1ex] \startalignment[flushright] \tfx\italic{\getcustomvariable{author}} \stopalignment}]
\starttext
\startextract[author=René Descartes]
Cogito ergo sum.
\stopextract
\stoptext
```
Is there an easy way to achieve that?
I tried with \structureuservariable (like possible in \startchapter) but it does not work.
Best,
Gerion
