setupinterlinespace in \startquotation\stopquotation

[Alan BRASLAU]

Hello,

It can be quite common to typeset long quotations in a smaller typeface.
The following minimal example is somewhat problematic:

------------------------------------------------------
\setupquotation [style=\tfx\setupinterlinespace]

\starttext

\startquotation
\input tufte

\input tufte

\input tufte
\stopquotation

\stoptext
------------------------------------------------------

The interline spacing is wrong for the last paragraph.

Adding a \par in the input before \stopquotation
puts the right quotation closing mark on a newline.

I suppose that the common practice is *not* to use explicit quotation
marks when typesetting such long quotations in smaller typeface. In
this case, setting left=,right= and explicitly putting a \par would
work. However, if one wants to have quotation marks, this is no good.
And placing an explicit \par is not very elegant, either.

Nor does it seem that \switchtobodyfont[] does any better.

Maybe the solution is simple but I have not found it...

Alan

\setupquotation
  [style=\tfx,
   before={\setupinterlinespace[line=2.4ex]}]
