Hi Michael,

Maybe what Wolfgang meant by « putting the marks by hand » is something like: you define \StartCitation and \StopCitation in the following way:

% begin quotation-note.tex

\define\StartCitation{\startnarrower[left,right]«~}
\define[1]\StopCitation{~»\footnote{#1}\stopnarrower}

\starttext
\input tufte
\StartCitation
 \input knuth
\StopCitation{This is a Quote of Donald Knuth}
\stoptext
% end quotation-note.tex

Indeed instead of the quotation marks « and » you can put whatever you wish.
If you have quotations without footnotes, then you may define another start-stop.

Best regards: OK
