quotations

[Hans Hagen <pragma@wxs.nl>]

Hi,

Since quotations keep coming up on this list, and since i had a couple of 
new cd's to help me through the process of cooking up macros, i made an 
definable quotation macros, or more precise, something:

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

\definedelimitedtext
   [quote][quotation]

\setupdelimitedtext
   [quotation]
   [location=text,
    left={\symbol[leftquote]},
    right={\symbol[rightquote]}]

and for Mr. BigFoot:

\definedelimitedtext
   [speech][quotation]

\setupdelimitedtext
   [\v!spraak]
   [repeat=yes,
    left={\symbol[leftspeech]},
    middle={\symbol[middlespeech]},
    right={\symbol[rightspeech]}]

Now, how do we call an tight quotation that those heavy quoting users want?

\definedelimitedtext
    [xquotation][quotation]

\setupdelimitedtext
   [xquotation]
   [indentnext=no,
    spacebefore=nowhite]

(there are a couple of more switches)

this mechanism will be available in the next beta, but the re-definitions 
not yet (first i want to make sure that it worsk ok)

one can also use this feature for things like [whatever you want to be 
delimited]

Hans

I'll look into the epigraph (module) later (never needed them so far)
