Hi all.

I have the following code, used to set quotations with over-large quote 
marks either side. I use the bTABLE/eTABLE model because it is easy, and 
because it allows for the variable width of the quotation part (the 
middle column) and for it to carry over into multiple lines.

When this code is run, the first one works as expected (the cell 
containing the quote is the width of the quote text). The second one 
produces a quote cell which expands so that the table fills the whole 
width of the page, even though the quote text itself is thinner than the 
previous one.

I have left the lines in the table to show the problem. This runs on 
live.contextgarden.net and shows the same behaviour. Any thoughts on how 
to fix it to make the second one work like the first? Thanks.

Duncan
