Bug with \quotation ?

Bug with \quotation ?

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi all,

there seems to be a bug with the \quotation command: ConTeXt doesn't  
break the line after the closing quotes it generates. Here's a small  
test file showing the problem (hope the utf-encoding makes it through  
the mail):

\enableregime[utf]

\setuppapersize[A5][A4]

\mainlanguage[deo]

\starttext

\quotation{langwierigerer, langweiliger, zufälliger, unrepräsentativer}
Schmuck Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test
Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test  
Test

\en

\quotation{overly beautiful pusillanimous sesquipedalian longwinded}

test
test test test test test test test test test test test test test test

test test test test test test test

\stoptext

I tried reading core-mis.tex, but wasn't able to find where this  
behavior comes from.

Best

This is tricky: at the end of the quoted material, the sequence is

   <rightquotationsymbol>
   \penalty10000
   \hskip\delimitedtextsignal
   <a space>
   <S>

And that sequence does not actually allow a line break (thanks to the
\penalty10000). A number of low-level hacks is possible, but I am not
sure which one is best.

Something like this redefinition works (the penalty is new):

   \definedelimitedtext
     [quotation]
     [left={\symbol[leftquotation]},
      right={\symbol[rightquotation]\penalty0 },
      leftmargin=standard]

Best, Taco
